This thread screams with possible spoilers. So please post with caution! ;)

But mine would be:

I agree! While developers will push the visual side with characters to create something that fits the mould, Tingle is one of those characters that is twisted in a way that I doubt can ever be replicated. I mean that in all seriousness!

Even if everything is in place to make it fast and simple I'm still hoping that downloading doesn't become the future. One thing that bugs me about it is the prices of games of "games on demand" on live. I shop around for all my games to get it at the cheapest price possible, so that I can get the most amount of games for my money but that doesn't seem likely if it's download only on consoles. I can get some of those games under a third of the price of the downloadable versions as new copies.

In the end I don't mind the arcade type games as downloadables (though the lack of price drops is silly on the older games)but everything else should remain as is, as if we go downloadable I think it will hurt the industry, as people will see gaming as full of greedy companies based on what currently is being practiced.

Though I would like to know will downloading lead to another gaming industry crash?

[QUOTE="fastr"]seriously man.. I played the demo and laughed at it, it's horrible! get Darksiders if you want a GOW type game. fastr

I played the Darksiders demo and I thought Bayonetta felt more like a GOW-esque game than Darksiders did

This got me laughing really hard!! :lol:

Ah, the amish! One day they will conquer that city.

I guarantee we're not far rom the days when you'll have to pay extra to get the last chapter of the game.

The game that scares me with this being a possability is Alan Wake. They're already talking about releasing episodic content for the story after its release.

Well the one that I despise the most is DLC as a bonus. It should be a part of the game.

That sucks! At least I haven't had that problem. (Touch wood)

Text-based RPGs. :cry:

Agreed. Graphics really killed the genre!

Second would be arcade games. (Outside of Japan)

There are a few rarish PS1 games that I can't remember that are sealed that I'm keeping tucked away somewhere.

Otherwise my sealed copy of the gamestop collectors edition of Resident Evil 4 on Gamecube or sealed copy of the PAL version (It's more expensive then the NTSC version beacuse of a very limited release) of Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes.

Everything to do with the story. Story, character depth and delivery has to be improved. They tried in GoW2. Right idea, poor execution.

Less predictability in the level design. One thing that was really annoying and wrecked the suspense was that you would be moving through a level and see a maze of low walls/cement dividers which gave you a heads up that a locust firefight was coming up. Have firefights happen in less conspicuous areas.

Re use the light gameplay mechanic from the first involving the Kryll. You know the one where you had to push the burnt out car, how about expanding on this idea. Have it that the gas tank runs out of flame once its exploded after a while and you have to fetch one from the side of the roadand chuck it in the car to protect yourself from the kryll, but you still have locusts about requiring you to keep using the car as cover as you progress while taking them out. Add in slopes where you struggle to keep up with the carand a hill were you have to search out a gas tank but the car rolls back down when you stop pushing it, requiring you to move very quickly to get the tank while not losing too much ground.

How about a proper retreat section. Pretty much every game has you walking through it as an unstoppable army, why not have a section where you have to retreat to survive. Not a run full speed to get away type level but one constantly requiring you to find cover, lay supression fire to slow you pursuers and then getting some distance then repeat. If you don't they catch up and overwhelm you.

Kill off one/some of the main characters, not some faceless rookie. When it comes down to it this should happen to Dom, Cole or the other guy, not Marcus. Personally I say Cole should be it. I don't like Cole the most. (Whiney Dom is a close second)They could do a whole flip the bird type moment to Killzone over the Rico character when doing it. Cole and Rico both suck!!
