I know this thread isn't exactly full of realistic ideas, but I've thought of this before myself and quickly realized it's impossible. I know you were exaggerating by saying NES graphics, but even making a modern game look like a year 2000 game with graphics scalers would be pretty much impossible.Winthrop said:Every game from now on must have highly adjustable graphics ranging from the beautiful modern graphics to NES level so computer specs are not an issue to play the newest, most entertaining games.

Or in other words, "define the phrase 'not suck'."RJ 17 said:Has to be more specific than that. A game that you think sucks might be someone else's favorite game.AstylahAthrys said:Ever new game from now on must not suck. There. That is a blanket statement that will help the industry.
Thats... not a bad idea really.leet_x1337 said:Every new game from now on, if they pass the first aspect of the Bechdel test (i.e. having two or more women), must pass the entire test (they must talk to each other about something other than men.) This applies in reverse as well.
How about 'be made by Valve'?Thoric485 said:Be made by an independent studio.
Oh believe me I know it isn't a walk in the park to do things like that, with all the versions of direct x and new shaders and physics technology always coming out. Its always just been a wish I've had. I actually homebrew simple computer games in my spare time and I agree wholeheartedly that optimization and graphics scaling are not easy.AverageJoe said:I know this thread isn't exactly full of realistic ideas, but I've thought of this before myself and quickly realized it's impossible.

There IS a limit to how far a games graphics can scale without making major technical adjustments to the game engine that would be too time consuming and too troublesome just to cater to people who would probably rather buy the game on a console anyway. But I'll agree they could do with making them scale a bit better than they currently do.
I do not agree with you, sequels are good as long as those are well done.GZGoten said:every game from now on must NOT be a sequel/prequel!
