During this week's David Braben, one of the developers of Kinectimals has raised several controversies after proposing the establishment of a system similar to that used by Metacritic to evaluate products, also to evaluate those who reviewed it, as this would more or less weight to the opinion of several magazines.
"The best critics of the industry are able to review a product quickly and without making a single mistake," he said. "Do not wait to see how it moves the field, but they express a personal opinion without bothering to that expressed by their colleagues. There should be an annual prize to reward the best." And what do you think about a site like Metacritic? According to Marc Doyle, one of the creators of the site, Metacritic for editors is not at all helpful.
"He made statements that do not often correspond to the facts of the crime, because the editors do not always have to try the products before they are launched, and this tends to lengthen the time of their analysis." "The risk would be to trigger a race among critics who have only a bad result in terms of quality." And Braben on the proposal to reward writers who, at the end of the round of reviews, are closer to the average, Braben said he was equally doubtful.
"Criticism is something subjective, there is no right and wrong. We can judge the credibility of a video game journalist relying on the quality of its analysis, the depth of his words and his experience, as well as several other factors. And that's exactly what we do before accepting certain titles within Metacritic.
"" It makes no sense that the media is seen as the truth, because the most critical or most good may, in specific cases, have more reason than someone who is rather closer to the media. "And what do you think? you would like it to set up a service like this? And if so, how should it be composed? Let's talk!
