Yes, it is truly sad to see the slow death of hardcore shooters in favor of more on-rails campaigns and mindless multiplayer.

This on-rails action plague is destroying all genres not just shooters. I want games that make me think and not treat me like I have the intellect of a 2 year old.

I remember the joy of mastering a game like Castlevania II: Simon's Quest as a child and today it seems adults will whine incessantly over something with only half the d...

I'm still working on my Confrontation Platinum. Just need a few more rounds won by extraction on Escort and hostage extracts. It's ridiculously hard do get this trophy without cheating (getting your clan on alts to help boost those stats).

I feel it is a worthy game though, I only plat games I love.

1. Demon's Souls
2. Dark Souls
3. Confrontation (TBA)

What about the game that pushed the concept of online multiplayer on consoles and included a headset to encourage communication? Or the 2nd game in that franchise that once had more players online than all of Xbox Live (at that time).

Hackers have shown that it's already completely possible. I imagine the holdup is probably in the legal department. Perhaps they need a license to stream each individual game on the Vita. What a pain in the ass, I would have thought that they could get around it since the games aren't "running" on the Vita...

Why the disagree? He is completely right in saying this. The Vita is an awesome device yet the advertising isn't really showing what it can do.

I expect the advertising to really ramp up when the PS4 comes out though. I imagine the cross-game chat on the Vita will be compatible with the PS4 as well so it would be cross-platform chat. There will probably be a heavily integrated cross-compatible set of features.

Other franchises ruined for more accessibility and action:

SOCOM
Ace Combat
Age of Empires
Rainbow 6
Call of Duty (haven't bought a new one since 4- yes, they always were arcade-like but they used to tell a fine story without the overuse of explosions and QTEs)

any others? reply with more... I am sure there are some more... Dark Souls is the last bastion for the hardcore RPG fans... for shooters google "H-Hour: World&#...

I don't care about the graphics at this point. RAM is where it is at. Games today are very limited on what they can do due to the lack of RAM. Even PC games are held back by this. More RAM could mean much more variety in games by loading more textures simultaneously. This variety includes character customization in online games. Getting tired of playing as a bunch of clones in a shooter? RAM!

Developers still at the core have to make sure their games are compatible on low...

For the most part I have noticed people would do that anyway even if you don't teabag. They don't really have a penalty for death other than a number on their statsheet so they just run out to the same spot and die again. I dislike respawn shooters because the player base becomes dumb and predictable.

I wish developers would just put a celebration system into games that are more classy so people would stop tea-bagging like idiots. The "Victory Dance" mechanic from the SOCOM series is a nice example of this. (plus doing a moonwalk to a spin and crotch grab is way more cool!)

Coming from a long time SOCOM player I must point out that SOCOM 4 is an abomination that describes just about everything that's wrong with the gaming industry these days. They took a great game and turned it into some generic shooter. Publishers just want to copy CoD and have no balls these days...

hence the word 'concept'

It's not the developers doing this. The developers are being forced to do this crap against their will by the big time publishers who are limiting their creative freedom. Look at it this way... a development team is whatever coach the Dallas Cowboys have going on these days and the publisher is Jerry Jones... Jones has that coach by the balls and the coach had little freedom to run that team.

The gaming industry needs more Tom Benson/ Sean Payton combos out there. Publish...
