[ALL] If you could change one thing about gaming

[AJay]

If you could change one thing about gaming and gaming community what would it be? One thing to revolutionalize gaming and take it to a whole new level. Gaming has come a long way starting with the controllers and discs, then a whole new level of graphics, then online gaming and the motion gaming like the Wii and Kinect. What's next? What would you do to change something? It seems like almost everything seemingly possible has been done already.


Would it be online multi-system all across the board? A whole entire new ranking system for each individual user? No more discs and everything is just on the hardrive now?

SEGA would never have bitched out on the Dreamcast.

Nintendo would have skipped the Gamecube and just made the Wii years earlier.

No motion-based gaming.

 

[MmmmBeeeeer]

I'd release Gran Turismo 5

Easy to talk shit when you own a system that only a handful play on fulltime here, CrimsonBum.

Buy a PS3 and a working mic and then you can try talking again.

Not make madden suck for 5 years in a row and counting.

[Misogi]

EA never having the exclusive rights to nfl and ncaa games

Screw that, ALL exclusive rights should be stopped.

NBA, NFL, especially MLB.

Sports games to find a way to use real time physics instead of motion capture.

A successful MMO on a console.

I really dont know....if I did maybe I could act on it???

 

[inthecards21]

for a drastic change in the fps department, all call of duty games are the same nowadays and its getting to bullshit levels of how the same stuff is released every year

JRPGs to not die away.

 

[Herm]

If an offline only game doesnt have at least 20 hour single player campaign it needs to be priced at $30.

 

[Twigg4075]

Get rid of paid for online services and paid DLC.

That's one thing the PC gamers have gotten right.

JRPGs to not die away.

I'm actually ecstatic about the fact that this seems to be happening. JRPGs are a terrible form of video games now-a-days. At least with most WRPGs you perform many actions yourself. JRPGs are effectively extremely limited flash games that have pretty graphics because they don't need to spend anytime on actual gameplay. I used to love the old ones, but the genre died for good reason: it's built for a time when they couldn't do what they can now. They'd be better off re-imagining themselves for stuff like XBLA.

For me, I'd personally wish for the industry to back away from the multiplayer and co-op focus. Not saying don't do it, just only do it if it makes sense for the game you're trying to make. Don't tack it on just because it *needs* to be there.

PC gamers pay for DLC for the most part, unless said DLC is made by the community (ala, something like Morrowind, which had an insane number of mods, etc...made by gamers).

I couldn't agree more. I despise JRPG's. What is the fucking point of a turn based battle? Go watch a fucking movie!

I'd lower dev costs and do something to get rid of licenses (or at least lower the price of them). This would allow more companies to be able to put out games, meaning more variety, more competition and hopefully more creativity in the end.

Right now things are way too stale. Too many sequels and similar games. I think it's at least partially because there's not many companies and it's too expensive to take risks. So everyone just sticks to known formulas and we get the same basic games over and over.

I really don't understand how people get so excited about the new COD, new Halo, new whatever. Just the same shit you've seen a million times with a few new twists. I do the same thing with NBA2k and to a lesser extent NCAA Football...but whatever.

I'd also get rid of game reviews from sites like IGN.
