A term that unifies “casualization” (from casual), with “consoles”. While in
videogames “casualization” means a tendency to make things less complex and
accessible to the masses, “consolization” means the “casualization” applied to games that weren’t casual before. It applies to all kind of games who become less complex because of the
necessity of convert mouse to pad controls, lower on memory or graphics requeriments, or downgrade any kind of management (losses the x,y axis, big menus, scrolling inventories, auto aim, auto stats, lack of editor or mod support, etc).
Many games have lost plenty of
quality due to their consolization, their predecessors were richer and deeper in each aspect but these multiplatform versions were designed
limited by
inferior platforms...
