How about this: People can give their games back to Steam, and Steam will give rare trading cards associated with that game in return. People can keep the cards to boost their account levels or they can choose to sell the cards for a few bucks.
Another method is that those who sell their digital copies have to sell it for a higher price than Steam. However, to justify a reason for buyers to pay more for a digital copy, perhaps those who buy the more expensive copy from another player, can inherit all the seller's in-game achievements associated with the game.
@b74kd3th Are you talking in general terms or are you referring to the post-apocalyptic genre? If you are referring the latter, I think it might not be interesting enough without the fear and danger of the zombie threat. The threat adds to the drama and makes audience appreciate the quieter moments that the characters share during their journey.
The Last of Us have some of the most interesting and believable characters in a videogame. Naughty Dog managed to inject diversity to the cast, yet weren't at all preachy about it either.
For example, the leader of the Fireflies is Marlene, a black woman. Yet, her skin color and sex were not issues that were ever raised. Naughty Dog made Marlene a believable leader because she was intelligent, calm, and very pragmatic.
Ever since Sony's online PSN outage fiasco, they've done a lot to regain consumer trust and consumers have benefited with good things like the PS+ and now the PS4's favorable pricing and policies.
Microsoft may have to take a similar path and do a lot of good things to regain trust. If they do, forgiving consumers will stand to benefit.
Microsoft has said that they've invested roughly a billion dollars on new gaming projects. They showed off Titanfall, Project Spark, Quantum Break, etc. during E3. Generally speaking, nearly their entire E3 conference was all about the games!
The Xbox 360 was such a successful console because it was home to a lot of great gaming experiences. Microsoft is not going to curtail gaming for the Xbox One.
The difference between the PS4 and the Xbox One will not be about which systems is more about the games. Both will be. The difference will be about who does the best job in delivering what they are promising with their systems.
So few developers are utilizing the PSVita with the same ambition and creativity as Media Molecule. So many Vita games are portable versions of console experiences, while Tearaway is a game that leverages the Vita's unique capabilities.
Ultimately, it's Sony's responsibility to make the Vita a console worth owning. If the Vita is popular, perhaps more developers are willing to put in the time to make unique gaming experiences for the system.
Right now, the Vita is in a vicious cycle where developers don't want to invest resources into it because it's not popular, yet, the reason it's not popular is largely due to the absence of enough interesting games for the system!
Enemy animations have really improved, especially when Batman attacks them. In Arkham Asylum and AC, I've always felt the enemies sometime reacted oddly to getting hit.
