Forums - Gaming - What horrible ideas do you see people saying game companies "must do".

In some recent threads, I have seen some heated debate on the direction of game franchises.  Also, there is certain other preferences some people want, others disagree with.  So, on this note, I will ask this:

What have you seen people saying game companies "must do", which to you seem like HORRIBLE ideas.  Ideas so bad, that if you were forced to endure them it would be hellish.  Or, if they did it, you feel the idea would cause the companies to go bankrupt.  You can also go with things like companies MUST NOT do things people say.  A few come to mind I saw:

1. EA MUST NOT do a driving sim in, "Need for Speed: Shift".  The argument is they need more cop cars, so they want more "Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit" games.  This argue is part of EA MUST keep doing what it has been doing with Need for Speed, even if the series feels like it isn't pulling people in, or selling well.

2. Microsoft MUST come up with motion sensitive controllers for the 360.

3. Valve MUST port Left 4 Dead to the PS3 NOW.  It will result in doubling or trippling of sales.

4. Microsoft MUST bundle a Blu-Ray player in with their 360s units.

5. Sony MUST pull Blu-Ray out of their PS3, and release a new system that is less expensive.  I believe also one can go with removing UMD from the PSP as another one.

 

I know I saw others from supposed experts in the industry, and money meny (like the pull the Blu-Ray player out of the PS3).



Around the Network

Nintendo must put quality control on developers, even though those alienated developers before.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

They need to release a Wii HD.



The only one I've ever actually seen is "Sony must cut the price for the PS3". Especially since the PS3's problem is not at all its sales but its profitability (well, the lack of it).



Microsoft MUST put a HDD in the Arcade.



Tease.

Around the Network

Must stop console exclusive games. A level playing field only applies in the world of employment. Business is about being quicker on the draw than the other guy. When I hear/read that, it makes me think ...



Kojima should make his storylines as simplistic and predictable as Simcity

port ____ to Wii



PS3

1. PS3 needs a price drop...
1a. Though it would throw Sony into a hole so big, they would possibly go bankrupt.

2. Sony needs to take BluRay out of the PS3 and make a cheap model.
2a. Even though it wouldn't work, seeing as al of their games are BluRay.


WII

3. Wii needs HD.
3a. Would be dumb at this point in the current gen, they will definitely next gen.

4. Nintendo should make an option for a Normal Controller.
4a. Some games do let you, but to have an option in every game would make owning a Wii completely pointless and irrelevant.

Xbox 360


5. The 360 needs BluRay.
5a. People seem to think that if 360 had BluRay, then no one would buy a PS3, which is completely wrong on more than one level.

6. 360 should make their price lower on Arcade and Pro.
6a. No need, it wouldn't outsell the Wii. It's already at a great price, heck even I bought one :P.



  • 2010 MUST Haves: WKC, Heavy Rain, GoWIII, Fable III, Mass Effect 2, Bayonetta, Darksiders, FFXIII, Alan Wake, No More Heroes 2, Fragile Dreams: FRotM, Trinity: SoZ, BFBC2.
  • Older Need To Buys: Super Mario Bros. Wii, Mario Kart Wii, Deadspace, Demon's Souls, Uncharted 2.

There is definitely more to list that I want, but that's my main focus there.
