Defalcon, the things you just said shows exactly what's wrong with this industry. If FPS, even though they have been around since Wolfenstein 3D in 1992, and all have multiplayer, and all are about the same keep being made, certainly people will get sick of companies only making them. Even EA who specializes in sports doesn't ONLY do sports. They try to go into other realms of what they can do. There are plenty of non violent games that are also very popular, and clearly games aren't as popular with kids as older gamers. Maybe Mario and Pokemon is kid's stuff. Besides Conker's Bad Fur Day, and some other exceptions, Rare and Nintendo do focus solely on kids. As far as I know Spyro, Sonic, Crash, this new Sony platformer, is popular with people of different ages. Fur Fighters was advertised well? Where? I don't just mean in game magazines. What about TV commercials? I never saw an advertisement like that for it, and I'm sure if it was advertised on TV it would have sold better. Ofcourse it was underrated and that didn't help. Maybe Jazz needs to swear - just a BIT, and you could hardly hear it, or maybe enough violence to get people's attention. I don't know just HOW violent you think games need to be to be popular, but if they are so violent that they cause a public concern and get taken off the shelves, that won't exactly sell well.

People are still getting used to the idea of cute games being violent, or specifically aimed at teens and older people. Maybe when this idea becomes more popular, Jazz will be there. If it happens though, I know it will be to cash in on the craze, not to make Jazz fans happy. But if this industry, particularly with PC games, is only going to be about the same ol games and no one ever trys new stuff, it's going to be the copy-cat companies who don't make much money.

Hey, I'm not saying it makes sense to release Jazz 3 now, though I would appreciate it , I'm saying there's more to this industry than shoot em ups and violent games, and if not, than the games will all be the same crap, and stop being fun. Maybe BECAUSE Epic is having such success with Unreal games, they should consider making Jazz 3. I mean, it would be 3D (needs way more polys tho), it would be a third person shootemup, and it should have online deathmatch. Just like Unreal Tournament but with a fresh twist. I think it would work very very well. That was the problem with Fur Fighters actually. Only the PC version had online play, and I don't even know when it was out for PC cause I never saw it. But had it been mass marketed and mass produced for PC, the story would be different. And if it was available to play in stores, like what Radio Shack and London Drugs does, it would catch attention. I think Electronics Boutique needs to have a PC on display to play.

One day Defalcon, I hope I'm right. I hope they make it and it will be very popular. I think the idea of cute characters killing each other is halarious, and I'm sure others will agree, if only more games like that existed so that we could test it out for ourselves with some friends...
