What about improvements that make the act of playing games more fun. No one knows what the features will be, but lets explore some that should be.

A Goddam CPU and GPU that are Worthy of the Next Gen title.
- 8 Core 3 ghz CPU
- Dual NVIDIA 760 GPU setup (Think the popular and economic 560 sli)
- 4gb DDR3 Ram

I would be happy to shell out $500-$600 for that knowing that it will actually last me until 2020.

hakis865157d ago

Agreed, actually.

Would be awesome if the GPU part supported Dynamic V-sync and the new Anti-aliasing from nVidia (what's it called again - FXAA? TXAA?)

too bad nVidia's licensing policies are too cost prohibitive for them to ever be considered for consoles ever again...

YOU would be happy to but YOU wont single handidily keep a buisness going. Consoles need to be cheaper than $500 to be a sucess. If there was a $600 console the ps3 would be fresh in everyones mind and you know how well that went. I know people want the latest and greatest hardware well too damn bad.

sorry but #5 will never happen. too much opportunity for abuse...

PopRocks3595157d ago

Aside from the voice chat part, none of this seems essential to me. Probably because I'm not big on multiplayer games. I like to play games and chat with friends. That said, I have Skype for chat anyway, and my computer is pretty close to my game consoles.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle21d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

jznrpg27d ago

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Smellsforfree27d ago

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Loktai27d ago

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde28d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy28d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12528d ago (Edited 28d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
