The mechanics are doable- the assets are the tough part and why only a few companies do this stuff, mainly because of the expense involved with the production of the assets for the title.

The big problem there is that you're going to still be dealing with the traditional way of dealing with things in the industry since the publishers can't think much past that in many cases. I'll keep an eye out for an indie or an un-signed AAA studio for that sort of thing as part of my January-February endeavors on things.

Originally posted by binstream View PostIt's a bit naively to expect avalanche of AAA titles on Linux in a moment, it will take some time to create the viable market, which will appeal big players like EA, Activision and so on. But to get there, we need to make steps towards this direction. This competition is a single step towards better gaming on Linux, that's it. Anyway we will keep going this direction, but please be patient.
And, you'd be right on what you're doing. Many want INSTANT results. Sadly, anything worthwhile takes effort and time- and I think you're going about this the right way on the stuff.

A sport game will approach the genre's fans around the region that the specific sport is played.
Different things, don't confuse them.
Originally posted by SvartalfI'm keen on that idea, myself. (Not to mention I might actually get my stepson involved with things since he's REALLY keen on racing titles.)
Involved in what way?

Yeah I believe a rally game has a lot a potential to become succesful. Much more than basketball, baseball or hockey

Just thought I would throw this link in
September was big for EA Sports as their three most recent games finished in the top five in sales for the month. Unfortunately NPD has decided to no longer provide the actual sales numbers for consoles or individual titles instead leaving that to the manufacturers and publishers which is a little disconcerting. Madden 11 finished

I'm just hoping that sheer lack of interestingness (if there is such a word) comes down to the press release not sharing a whole bunch of great plans behind the scene. Having been involved in making some games, it all comes down to scope, talent and planning imo. What I see here worries me on all three counts.
