A few major things have happened in gaming this year, Nintendo looks to be on rebound on the product end with the Switch, the growth of the GaaS business model, and Japan releasing some excellent software at the beginning of the year.
Microtransactions are growing, see NBA2k and Destiny 2 and the indie continue to put out interesting projects that would not be possible through traditional funding means.
My biggest concern is Capcom. I'm excited for Monster Hunter World, but it seems they're very conservative, outside of RE7. They just remind of Konami of the last generation, waiting for the shoe to drop and maybe do other things.
Overall, I'm pretty happy with the industry as a consumer. I have enough games to play and look forward to. I'm loving these smaller and cheaper AAA experiences, Uncharted The Lost Legacy, Dishonored Death of An Outsider, and HellBlade. I hope this becomes a viable entry as the 60 dollar versions of these games are just too long honestly.
Regarding VR, I'm waiting for Gen 2.
But I'd say I'm rather optimistic about the industry right now. My tastes are being catered to and I'm not without want.
What about you?
