Yeah but killer 7 doesn't have virtual deer hunting... 1/10.

Yea. Don't forget, all the REs sold past 1 million worldwide, and other adult games haven't exactly bombed on the platform (Metroid Primes for one, and MGS:TTS did hit PC).typhonsentra said:Why are you people so settled that the Gamecube's target range is so young? What do you actually base this off of? Many of you have one, and I'm assuming, we're all adults here.

Amir0x said:And RE4!
There's a selection of "mature" games, but the actual demographic does skew younger for obvious reasons. I mean, the system is purple!
DrLazy said:OMG you mean KIDS like Nintendo games too? My god, I can't believe they're attracted to these simplistic games with fun themes made for the whole family. I hate how people refuse to acknowledge that different consoles skew to different demographics. I mean look at Sonic sales on the cube for a perfect example of fitting the demographic. Killer 7 is the opposite of that.
Oh and games without gameplay suck.
Amir0x said:Get down off the counter, dusty!
The whole point of this discussion IS that these systems skew to different demographics. Gamecube skews to a decidedly younger demographic, and PlayStation skews to a [generally] older demographic. And even then, only like 11.5% of all games are rated Mature, so it's not like it's some massive cataclysm.

Bebpo said:and in the same train of thought I don't think teenagers will be able to follow and enjoy Killer 7 for what it is.
Bebpo said:Yeah...but games like RE4 are things you'd play when you were in Jr. High or High School. Sure it's violent, but it's still a fun pleasant video game ride which is fine for 15 year olds.
Killer 7 is just not made for teens looking for a 'fun' ride. I dunno, I keep thinking of Silent Hill 2 when I try to figure an audience for it, I mean Silent Hill 2 was aboutTo me that's what I think of when I think of 'mature', especially because it wasn't straight-forward and required to audience to be intelligent individuals who could piece together the tale and understand alll the symbollism and themes running through it. Maybe it's just because my memory of my teen years is hazy, but I don't think I could've enjoyed SH2 for what it was when I was 15 and in the same train of thought I don't think teenagers will be able to follow and enjoy Killer 7 for what it is.a guy killing his wife and experience horror guilt over it which possibly leads him to drive suicidely into a lake and drown himself depending on the ending.
Then again I probably played Gabriel Knight around that age and that was pretty dark.

Bebpo said:I'm not comparing it to GF in puzzles. Killer 7 puzzles are linear and dumb at RE1 level for the entire game
I mean in terms of story and atmosphere. Also I don't mean that it's GF calibur (it's great but GF is A++), just that since GF there haven't been any really good adventure games with great atmosphere and interesting stories and that's where Killer 7 comes in. I guess I should be harder on the game because basically it's an adventure game where you just keep walking forward (sometimes backtracking slightly) and the puzzles are simple. But like I keep saying, I love adventure games so I'm very biased here, subtract a grade level or two and you'll get something more objective.
Also about the load times. The GC version loads for about 1 sec between rooms, maybe 2 secs max. It's very acceptable and would be great loading for a PS2 game. PS2 owners just get screwed in terms of load times on this game.

DavidDayton said:Now, not to be petty, but according to you:
A. 41% of Sony's users are below 18 years of age.
B. 58% of Nintendo's users are below 18 years of age.
Yes, a larger percentage of the GC's audience consists of younger gamers. However, I don't see how the percentage difference is large enough to be as dramatic as you make out. Both skew within 9% of having just half their audiences being below 18 years. I was actually assuming a much lower percentage of GC owners being older than 18, given the way these threads always go...
Jonnyram said:I think the issue is, in general, that videogames are mostly played by under 18s (and the lower end of the 20s before you get picky).
Well that's hardly enlightening given that the majority of the world's population is over 18. What I meant to say was kids/youths/students/other people that don't have real lives yet.Amir0x said:Well, yeah, I was gonna get picky because according to the data (if I'm reading it right), the majority of gamers are over 18.

Amir0x said:The difference between PS2 and Gamecube is 17%, if these percentages are still accurate. That's a pretty big and noteworthy percentage, no matter how you slice it. Essentially, 60% of PS2 users are over 18, and basically 60% of Nintendo's market is under 18.
It's never as bad as people make it out to be, of course. That's the nature of the internet.
Jonnyram said:Do you actually have that ridiculously expensive report?
I'd be interested how the audiences really breakdown, rather than just <18 and 18+. Do they have data for people over the age of 50 or 60?
pjberri said:I'm kinda interested in playing it after seeing it compared to SH2. SH2 had terrible gameplay in pretty much every facet of the game, but it was still a fantastic game.
Bebpo said:Jonnyram, less arguing about ages and more impressions of Killer 7 please. You've had the game almost a week and no impressions yet ;_;
