Porting should be dead simple by now, but the Series S complicated that. To me, that's the only thing wrong with this gen. They should stop requiring parity and just require cloud support on Series S for 3rd party releases.

Know what I want them to bring back? The ability to play with just my Xbox account like it was on Xbox360 before all the forced account garbage. MS owns them now, but they won't phase out these other companies' account systems in favor of their own. It's ridiculous.

They need to tweak privacy features with some actual logic. I don't mind getting messages from people I've actually met in-game or real accounts with a PS+ membership, money spent, etc. But there's no option for that. It's either friends only or "anyone." I think Steam even restricts accounts until they spent at least $5. It makes sense.

They also need to fix the playtime tracking since it seems to only work selectively.

I don't understand why devs won't give people more control in how they play a game like this. You shouldn't have to switch planets cause the modifiers suck on higher difficulties. You should be able to choose modifiers like Halo skulls/Gears mutators. Also, the RNG mission sets. Again, what's the point of playing if you can't play exactly the mission type you want all the time?

Can't imagine playing 3. Last one I tried was probably 8, and it still felt generations behind. Would love a remaster of Warriors: Legends of Troy, but that'll never happen. Arguably the best "warriors" gameplay and worst dubbed game of all time. Lol

Only announcement I want from them is phasing out their account systems and joining the MS account system now that they're owned by them. MS has no business keeping 3 or 4 separate account systems and I will avoid their games until they're combined for convenience.

Multi-plat, but...Why doesn't anyone ask any of these MS execs why they're not phasing out Bethesda and Activision accounts to improve user experience with a single MS account for everything they own like it should be???

Anything decent that plays without demanding people make a new account for it. I've always hated that both Xbox and PS made a habit of giving out games with 3rd party account requirements. Some of us flat out refuse to play those even if free.

Actual arcade gameplay like we had back then with AKI's engine. I don't think any of the games has done Ken Shamrock's rage suplex all these years. That'd be nice too. It was always fun watching him do that to people. It's also kind of funny they decided to do this after Mick Foley walked. People may have an issue if the roster is missing all 3 of his personalities.

I don't see why anyone else gets a say in it. It's supposed to be a free market. There's more of a monopoly on dating sites than game publishing/dev, but you don't see the FTC doing anything about that. It's also being sold to a foreign company, so it should be completely outside the FTC's bounds.

I just want to know why MS still insists on maintaining all these separate account systems for games they own instead of combining everything so we can all enjoy the games without making new accounts. I'm not playing anything that requires me to make an extra account to play it. Let me know when it works with just an Xbox, Steam, or PSN account like it should.

Banning it doesn't stop anyone from playing it. Just makes it more difficult. I have PSN accounts for like 5 different countries now. No VPN required. Just find a place to buy wallet codes and get whatever you want.

Pointless as long as they insist on making the games play like a sim without the feel of the games from that era. Nobody can seem to match the old AKI engine from N64 and the PS2 Smackdown games. Nothing has felt the same since.

Jeremy Like I said, it was rather broken in 4 compared to modern offerings of 5 and 6. Don't know about the others.

They need to modernize the old ones to make them playable. Fast travel is a must now, and blocking it on 4 during quests even when the quest is literally complete and you just need to return for the reward is beyond ridiculous. I literally can't stand to play anything before Far Cry 5.

Would much rather see more standalone ports I can actually buy, Mariokart DD included. Punchout is also a sorely neglected IP. Doesn't that have any big anniversaries coming up to release a collection etc?:(

New colors, but they still aren't offering black covers for the PS5 Pro. It's been over a year now. Why isn't anyone calling them out on this nonsense instead of just praising new colors for other models???

What we really need to know is if IOI is finally dropping the annoying always online setup that people have complained about in all 3 Hitman games. It's ridiculous having the game just stop mid-mission and ask to retry server connection when the whole thing is SINGLEPLAYER.

If they want to do something useful, they should make it so you can select which modifiers are active on higher difficulties (like Halo skulls) instead of making it RNG so you have to switch planets if the modifiers suck. That and always being out of ammo and what puts me off the game most.
