I think that the best advancement Microsoft and Sony could make is focusing on dropping the prices of their consoles.

Dude, it was only 26 minutes since you posted. Chill out. Anyway, FFVII is my vote.

Honestly, as great as this news is, I think that the whole "Swap engine with a button press" thing will be a stupid gimmick. Everyone is going to use just one or the other and never swap after their first playthrough.

I'm damned excited. I want DOOM 4 to let me rip demons open with my guns. If I unload a chaingun on a cacodemon, it better have an explosive gash open where I am hitting it.

Yeah, good luck on that. Minecraft isn't moving towards being an RPG at all. Notch himself has been saying since the early days of development that he has no intention of making it into an RPG.

Ugh. Blitzball. The nightmares... I thought I had gotten rid of them... Frankly, I think it's a terrible minigame. Seriously, it looked way cool in the cutscenes, but the actual game was boring and contrived.

Any game where I spend large amounts of time doing nothing too mentally engaging. I turn off music in Minecraft and listen to lectures and music. Same in WoW.

This thread is turning into a Game Design Dream Team thread... which isn't a bad idea. I say Will Wright and Sid Meyer. Civilization and Pirates mixed with Spore and The Sims. The world would explode. Notch.

Right. You totally said that. And I'm John Romero. <_<

Self-praising.

I just think it's about the differences in what is popular in the West. The JRPG is no longer as popular as it was in the PS2's days, so I think it's just because the elements aren't too interesting to US audiences. We like burly space marines and the military. Notice that you don't see too many...

That's true, lets add this to my post: I think that the only way this concept would really work is if Romero had that kind of a person to offset him, someone with a grounded, technical, rational mind to tone and shape Romero's hyper-energetic id. That's assuming that the remake project was...

That was almost as sad for me as the part in Final Fantasy CXXII when Sephiroth killed Zeus. Wait, something's not right here...

I don't think John Romero was really that competant. Many of the features that he brought to id software in the development of their first three IPs were formed by the following process: 1. John Carmack develops engine 2.Romero defines a concept 3. Carmack adds features 4. Romero looks...

This is where game demos or post-release locked releases come into play. A player could pay a fraction of the original game's price to play, say, 4 hours of the completed game. Or maybe just a straight up rental, allowing players to play the game for a week for 8 or 9 dollars?
