Poll: What do you want the PS4 / Xbox 720 to be like ?

[Nekroneko]

I will buy the console I think has the best to offer in terms of games and online services primarily. I don't want to see cloud gaming or a total shift to digital distribution. I love having an actual game, box and manual.

So here is what I want and dont want nicely ordered

Do Want
- Loads of gaming options
- More RPGs
- Improved D-Pad (360 gripe)
- Cool interface/dashboard with lots of skinning options and choices
- Emphasis on huge numbers of gamers in a single game (say 100+ in FPSs or 20 Drivers in Racing games)
- More single player experiences
- More freebies (everyone loves freebies)
- Tournaments and Gamer TV (Streamed from dash of online games)
- Better options with Friends lists
- Much improved Dash speed (Xbox 360 gripe, dunno bout PS3 or wii)
- Friend or Gamer search for gamers with similar interests in gaming as you
- Fully Backwardly compatible with all previous consoles
- Improved reliability and quieter overall.
- Small and sleek console
- Shift to solid state media (Disk drive for backward compatibility and DVD/Blu-Ray playback)
- Huge internal HDD with option to expand externally
- Media player in-built with ability to play a wide variety of media types.

Do Not Want
- More FPSs
- Total shift to novelty controllers
- More QTE
- Cloud Gaming and shift to digital only distribution (even if its only on "Key" games)

For a start, I'd like to see them built on an architecture that's not a ***** to program for. (Yes I mean you PS3) Then perhaps developers wont be so reluctant to spend a bit more time on games for that platform, sorting out glitches and outputting 1920x1080 resolution.

I would also like to see some pure servers for the online gaming service. (Yes I mean you Xbox Live). I still find it fucking stupid that we have to pay to use a peer to peer network for our Xbox online gaming service. It fucks up royally when you're unlucky enough to get a host with a crappy connection, or if the host quits you have to restart the god gamn game. If Live had it's own servers then I would completely understand the charges, but charging for peer to peer is a fucking rip off. Oh and before anyone says "quit whining you're too poor", I'm not poor, I've got my year of LIVE sorted, I'm just not happy about paying for something that should be free.

Also I would like to see more creativity in games. If I see another greyscale shooter *cough* Gears of War *cough* Killzone 2 *cough* then I'm going to destroy something. If you don't include the fisher price piece of crap known as the Wii, it seems like 80% of the games on the market now consist of this repetitive monotonous greyscale shite. Originality please devs?

Bringing me onto Nintendo... how about some real fucking games?? Not this fisher price crap wii sports, or this fitness crap that only improves your posture and if you class it as a real work out you're a fat bastard! "what about metroid prime 3?" whoop te doo another shooter... it's average at best... "what about mario galaxy?" great, a nintendo console has a decent mario game... never seen that before... "what about zelda?" oh what you mean the badly ported gamecube game, or the new one in development that's getting auto pilot?!

oh my old buddy PC gaming... what the fuck happened to you? remember years ago when you had the best roster of games? do you need retirement now??

Holy shit I'm really getting some flamethrowers aimed at me for this rant aren't I? XD

interaction in games, as in like a shooter you act as if you pull the pin on a grenade and toss it to do that in game, run on the spot for movement, pretend to reload for in game reload, etc.

PS: I know this may sound hypocritical because of what I just said, but anyone think that games are becoming too realistic, I mean like little kids play violent shooters already, further graphics upgrades and immersion may not be the best thing.

also better voice recognition, I have to type this!

 

[super_smash_jesus]

Hmm, the escapist is too full of xbox and ps3 fans. I am the ONLY one so far that would like to see a new nintendo console, which I find odd.

Indeed, like that stab/choke movement for Manhunt on the Wii. Monkey see monkey do, but they are called monkeys for a reason. And Microsoft and the other sluggers are in it for the money, not really helping the cashflow to please the few. By that I mean people want upgraded graphics and such, something the developers always have in mind.

Sign me up, I'm number two.

The fact remains Akuma, that the PS360 fans and fanboys alike will believe what they want to believe, about a console that they hold no respect for. Notice that the majority of console affiliated people will not post something like 'The PS3 KILLZ the 360! Blu Ray etc etc' because they actually hold enough respect to not flame each other that savagely. But they hold no such respect for the Wii, and have no problem plastering all kinds of negativity onto the console, as well as ignoring the positives, even if double standards are in play.

Console fanboys jumping at the prospect of their own motion control while bashing the Wii's just proves this. After years of saying motion control is garbage, when their console of choice gets it, it's the fucking second coming of Duke Nukem.

 

[ConnorCool]

I would love some games that, after all the hype, dont massively suck.

and secretely, I want Xbox and PS to have a fight to the death, so we can all live happy with our choice of casual or hardcore consoles (and I do know it wouldnt ever happen)

 

[Mackinator]

I want it to give me more pleasure than the SNES did. Then it will become my son.

 

[[Gavo]]

I heard Project Natal was going to be the new console for the 360.

 

[Ginnipe]

I would want my PS4 to be an invisible beast that shoots shuricans and lightning, and yes I did just steel from you Painkiller, what are you gunna do about it

 

[KayOss_92]

I'd like the next Xbox to not be called a 720 for a start.
I think I'd actually Boycott it if it was called that.
I also think that the next Playstation needs to at leas tkeep up with the series with ever-increasing numbers on the end.

For example. PS3 - Devil May Cry 4 - MGS 4.
I think the next Playstation will be the Playstation X or something anyway. Just a hunch.

Wasn't the playstation x the name for the very first playstation? Or psx or something.........i've seen that used instead of ps1 sometimes anyway......

 

[dmase]

I was incredibly upset when i found out the boomerang design wouldn't be the controller design for the ps3 so next generation better have it. Think about it if you get pissed at a game and throw the controller it wiil come right back to you no damage... as long as you catch it.

I don't think graphics have to go any further, I mean look at Gran Turismo 5, I put up a comparison and my friend wouldn't see the difference if i had put the box away, he was flabergasted. I was astounded by those graphics. Truthfully i don't think graphics matter all that much, look at the orange box, thats like a 5 year old game or something and yet i still play it because it was so fun.

 

[Generator]

I'd like to see more 3D platformers, personally. But then, that's probably just me.

 

[The Political Gamer]

Wheres pc gaming in your poll? *shakes head*

PCs are upgraded so often by so many companies no one really keep track to the extent of consoles.

- Cloud Gaming and shift to digital only distribution (even if its only on "Key" games)

All of that is true, but i would like to see cross system online play allowing a PS3 guy to play with a 360 guy, that would be nice. AND LESS ESCLUSIVES, get a consol for its quality not it's amount of esclusives

 

[Krakyn]

There's no option for "I don't know yet" or "More than one." You assume we're all fanboys that only choose one console or PC.

 

[19]

I hope what they do with that "natal" thing is release it with the next Xbox system as the standard control scheme. I think they could really make it work if they don't gimmick it up the ass. The only problem I can see with it so far is; in FPS's and pretty much any other game that requires you to move, i get how the aiming controls would work but could someone tell me how you might go about moving forward?

 

[KaiRai]

No loading times.

Really, that's it.

Seconded
Also, are they really the names? PS4 is a little unoriginal and Xbox 720 just sounds stupid...
