about "reaching as many people as possible" i totaly dissagree with above. thats total bullshit and you wont benefit from this attitude at all.
this way you lose casual games because you are too sim and you lose sim players because you are too casual.
find your market!
ha, well once again, i'll disagree, what do you think battlefield, medal of honor and all these games are trying to do, theyre riding the border line of sim and game and as a result they ARE successful, if battlefield removed its realistic aspects, it would remove half its fans and same goes if it removed the arcade like... isnt this the point ur making? and if so, isnt that saying ur trying to incorporate players from more than one market?
