An Open Letter is a new feature where we communicate directly, straight to the heart of someone/something/anything in gaming. This month we speak to 3D Gaming.
Dear 3D Gaming,
Don’t you just hate it when you arrive at a party too early? You’re the only guy there, the place is empty. You pretend to fiddle around with your phone, shuffle your feet, look around desperately for someone familiar. 3D Gaming, that party is your party – the 3D Gaming party.
No-one’s there yet – they’re elsewhere. They might be crashing the motion control party, the mobile phone party – they’ve almost certainly just arrived at the high definition party. As far as these socialites are concerned the 3D gig hasn’t even started yet – and they plan on being fashionably late.
The problem isn’t necessarily the entrance fee (which is a little expensive), it isn’t even the guest list (which is a little sparse), the problem is timing. It’s too close to the HD shindig, and to be honest, we’re all a little partied out.
And what’s with the dress code man – why do we have to wear those goofy glasses? No-one wants to wear goofy glasses. Especially when they cost over 100 bucks. Goofy we can just about take – goofy and expensive? We probably won’t even bother to RSVP…
You should take a leaf out of Nintendo’s book. Their 3D party will be a blast. No stupid dress code, no stupid glasses – they’ve got the right location, perfect timing. And take a look at that celebrity laden guest list! Solid Snake, Mario, Link, that dude from Resident Evil… what his name again? Yeah the muscley one! That party is going to be the event of the year.
Look mate, I don’t mean to be a jerk – maybe if you lose the glasses I’ll come along. Otherwise I’m just going to hang out at this HD gig.
See you around,
Mark Serrels
