Whats your next gen wishlist?

[Cerveza mas fina]

- cross platform mp, pc, ps, xbox

I think thats the only thing Id really like to see.

[Stoney Mason]

Why could you care about cross platform MP?

Seems odd to me. Especially since mouse and keyboard versus gamepad is a huge gulf. The most popular mp games draw plenty of support within their own platforms.  Although I like how something like Need for Speed has integrated leaderboards no matter the platform through its origin service.

My huge demand of next gen is backwards compatibility. To sell someone DLC and digital content and then turn around and say that's only for the old system would be a huge mistake imo.

Some other nice things would be.

Consoles embracing free to play games.
More frequent and less costly title updates for devs.

[Tasty]

- BC
- DD only
- Semi-openly available indie SDKs
- Nintendo

[Cerveza mas fina]

Well im not talking mouse vs pad, I knew someone would bring this up.

But a game like cod should be playable with ps/xbox peeps really. The more people the better.

I guess. I just don't ever think when I'm playing cod how awesome it would be to be playing with ps3 guys at that moment. But to each his own.

[Rahxephon91]

A system with good Japanese support.

[Human Snorenado]

Digital distribution and cheap ass prices.  Oh wait, I already get all of that on pc!  Stupid console dirtpeople.

FUTURE

[Trent Dole]

What some other peeps already said..

Uh, moar ram?
MS to stop putting features that are free on every other machine in existence behind a pay wall?
Yeah those'll work.

[tiesto]

-less DRM and shit like "online passes"
-free online for all of the next gen systems
-no gimmicky controls/Kinect
-variable pricing on retail games
-reasonable console prices, no more "five-hundred-and-ninety-nine US dollars!" shit
-standardized cloud saving/backups
-no more nickel-and-dime DLC, or making important parts of the game DLC *cough*Capcom*cough*EA*cough*
-backwards compatibility
-region free
-digital downloads from this gen transfer over seamlessly

[DCharlieJP]

- new exciting IPs
- more chances/risk taking, less safey-safey

[Beezy]

.mkv and subtitles support

[The Sceneman]

all I want is a shiny new xbox with full BC and a way for me to carry over my huge gamerscore

[archnemesis]

Yep, my wishlist is pretty similar to those above. I juts want a high-powered system and interesting games. Of course backwards compatibility and  region free would be nice bonuses. I personally don't mind expensive consoles if that means I get a better experience out of it, but at the same time the price has be low enough that the consoles are adopted by a wider audience.

Edit: And a fast and responsive OS with features like custom soundtracks and voice chat would be great.

[Rahxephon91]

.mkv and subtitles support

Yeah this too. I don't stream anything because everything is in MKV.

[Great Rumbler]

.mkv and subtitles support

All you need for that is a Roku box, which is about $50. Then you download the Plex media player. Boom. Instant streaming from your PC with subtitles.

[pickle]

More good console ports (from previous generations) on Steam.

[Fifstar]

Honestly, no idea. I was a late adopter this gen and I will be again next gen. Between my backlog, emulation of rpg classics and the pc games that will be dirt cheap next year I've got stuff for the next 5 years to play.

If there would be something really interesting gameplay/experience wise maybe, I've just no idea what that could be. And at this point I don't give a shit about graphics from a technical standpoint anymore. If a char has triple the polygons or 10 additional shader effects, I just don't care. Open world games have become good enough this gen, so I don't know what devs could do techwise to really enhance the experience.

[Cerveza mas fina]

I have stuff for next 5 years too, but nothing gets the blood boiling like some NEW GAMES on NEW HARDWARE

[Fifstar]

Well, I've got the feeling next gen will be essentially old games on new hardware, which gets me less excited. Maybe some demos and trailers at E3 will convince me otherwise.

Are you commenting on stuff you're unaware of, again, Andrex

[demi]

Unless you mean the Google Play Store. Lol.

[Tasty]

Can't wait until dual touch shooters become the norm, fo shizzle.

[headwalk]

to keep it down while consoles wade in to walkman territory.

[Rman]

DD for everything.

[Beezy]

DD for everything.

Reasonable price drops on older DD games. Smh at XBL.

Perfect parity with PC so I don't have to buy a next gen system

[Cerveza mas fina]

What I dont want: kinect/move

God i hope ms/sony dont make me use that shit.

Not gonna happen.

.mkv and subtitles support

it takes literally 5 seconds to hook up a hdmi port from your computer to your television. why you need a console for that?

Don't have a computer in the family tv room. Probably like most people.

[Himu]

"most people" have laptops

[Rahxephon91]

"most people" have laptops

Yes which they use for computer stuff and which they don't want to go and find a hdmi cable to hook up their laptap(which they would probably like to use as the relax and stream whatever is they are watching) and would rather use a home media device that is already hooked up their tv which is for media viewing.

[Himu]

It's funny how you are making up all these excuses when you could just get an hdmi cable and hook it up to your tv right now for 20 bucks

[Rahxephon91]

It's not excuses. If they were, why would any of these streaming apps and devices exist and sell when you can "just plug in a computer". There's no point to PS3 Media server or Roku if these were just excuses. People don't want to just plug in their computer.

And I do. I have my computer plugged right into my tv through HDMI and when I want to watch a mkv file or the family wants to, I take my computer upstairs to the main tv room and plug it in to that tv. It's not a hassle, but if my PS3 or whatever could play MKV files without a problem it would be very much preferable and easier. To argue against having consoles be able to play more mkv files is pretty stupid.

[Himu]

In any case, I was talking to my friend Beezy who lives at home with his folks and mostly cares about streaming from his computer in his room. For him, hdmi is a serviceable alternative rather than waiting for next gen consoles to supply it for him.

When I do this, some of the image either gets cut off or I get black bars. I'm guessing that's because there are only average to shitty laptops in my house?

HHHHNNNGGGHHH

Omgt worked! The setting wasn't called overscan on my TV though. Wtf is the purpose of that?

Edit: No lie, this is my happiest moment of the year so far.

[Himu]

I TOLD YOU BEEZY

[Beezy]

That overscan shit was the default option hidden on my tv. It was hidden away in the extra settings. I've been living a lie all these years.

[naff]

Nice! Yeah, it's always an issue. It's the number 1 thing people complain to me about their HDTVs, which is awesome because it's so easy to fix. That and fucking motion smoothing, always get people saying their HDTVs make everything look 'hyper real' and 'like a Soap Opera' which isn't surprising when their sets are splicing in digital frames. My set calls it "Intelligent Frame Creation" and had it on by default like most other TVs being sold today. I still don't know why they insist on doing this     

[CajoleJuice]

my laptop doesn't have an hdmi port

reminds me of the day I found out how to turn the grey 4:3 bars on my tv black.

That soap opera effect drives me fucking crazy, especially since most of my friends who have it on their tv don't notice it. I've turned it off in every home I've been to.

My parents' Samsung SMART TV has apps for Netflix and HBO GO built-in, but they automatically create that effect and I have no idea how to turn it off. It annoys the fuck out of me every time I'm home because TV from the FiOS box doesn't have the effect. I should probably look deeper into the manual, there has to be a way to turn it off within the apps.

Ehh... it's good in some movies and bad in other ones. Action scenes look very good with it, explosions, water running etc. talking heads: nope.gif.

It still makes action scenes look cheap, especially when the TV decides it should add some motion blur as well
