The video game industry has come a long way since its inception. It generates more than $100 billion dollars each year, and it\u2019s showing no signs of slowing down. However, while games are more abundant and accessible than ever before, critics feel like passion and creativity have become second fiddle to profit. Shroud is one of those people. He shared his views while responding to a fan\u2019s question on stream, and once he got the ball rolling, he didn\u2019t hold back. \u201cAre there any good games coming out soon that have you excited?\u201d he said, reading out a viewer\u2019s question. \u201cNo, not really. I don\u2019t know. I\u2019m trying to think.\u201d Instead of thinking about new games though, his mind dove into the past instead. \u201cI want older games to get updated correctly. I want The Last Of Us II to get correctly updated for the PS5 so that it actually runs how it\u2019s supposed to. \u201cI want modding games to be done. Like, different mod projects that I want to finish. I actually do want to play S.T.A.L.K.E.R. That looks kind of fun.\u201d Shroud: \u201cEverything new that\u2019s coming out has been pretty lackluster\u201d Shroud believes newer titles fail to live up to their expectations, and he has a reason behind his claims. \u201cA lot of the stuff that I\u2019m interested in is just older stuff. Everything that\u2019s new that\u2019s coming out has been pretty lackluster.\u201d \u201cNew games don\u2019t hit like old games because old games\u2026 there was a lot of passion behind them, right? The people running the games, the people at the top, were also the people making the games.\u201d \u201cSo, there was a lot of passion behind their work because they were a part of the team. Side by side coding away. Now, not so much. Now, it\u2019s more so, all the insanely really good coders and designers\u2026 they\u2019re just getting f**king c**ked. Because the people at the top are like, no, don\u2019t do that, do this.\u201d \u201cPretty sure it\u2019s just nostalgia talking there?\u201d he added, reciting a fan\u2019s reply. \u201cNo, it\u2019s not. You can just tell by game design and choices. You could literally just look at game design and then break it all down.\u201d It\u2019s not like Shroud is saying he\u2019ll never play new games. However, the trend of remasters of old games will likely never tire out for the Twitch star.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shroud claims older games like S.T.A.L.K.E.R have more \u201cpassion\u201d than new titles Twitch: ShroudMichael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzeciek has claimed developers don\u2019t make games like they used to, explaining older games like S.T.A.L.K.E.R had more \u201cpassion\u201d behind them.
