Then when the gamer wants to pick up an older title the multiplayer servers are still packed (awesome!) I have COD in mind.<br /><br />Also, one effective design decision I have seen (mainly in Bioware's games) is a separate utility for changing game settings--if you don't know why this is useful you aren't using a TV that doesn't support many resolutions as a monitor (most modern games revert back to original display settings after a timeout, but not always).<br /><br />Often times it seems games don't really have the storyline in mind when marketing a PC game--it's all about the graphics or the multiplayer. I'm a big fan of single-player mode, and a lot of Bioware's titles like Mass Effect 1 & 2. One feature that is absolutely missing from modern PC games is co-op mode. It's almost mind-bogglingly difficult to find a modern PC game with good cooperative gameplay (if you don't believe me, try finding one--Halo 2 for the PC doesn't even have it).<br /><br />One last complaint I have is that many PC games have a "console-like" interface, which means all the details you may want to know or mess with are abstracted from the user--I hate these interfaces, but only when there is no option to show advanced details. Take a multiplayer gaming mode for example, if one were to wish to start a server many games are likely to automatically choose port numbers for them. This can cause problems (specifically in my case) because I have ONE port available for serving games with. It took me five years to get ONE port for game hosting from my ISP and it's very likely there are others with an ISP that terrible as well, it also doesn't scale well--what if a person wished to host two or more servers?<br /><br />On an unrelated note, I would be most interested in any internship opportunities you may be aware of.happyhackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14283817641231886542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-215795882847477733.post-40172755213904603562011-05-25T21:58:15.733-07:002011-05-25T21:58:15.733-07:00It's cool to hear this from someone inside the...It's cool to hear this from someone inside the gaming industry. I've felt this way for a while... I get tired of playing the same games over and over again, disguised as different games. Yes, there's some franchises that change immensely from game to game, and I like those... but then there's games like Call of Duty and Madden (or any sports game for that matter) where it feels like I'm playing the same game. I don't play those.Fuzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12489467417163948068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-215795882847477733.post-35818182630157401232011-05-25T21:23:43.274-07:002011-05-25T21:23:43.274-07:00I see it becoming more of a smartphone market for ...I see it becoming more of a smartphone market for a few years yet. There is still a lot of room to grow in that area to developers are either losing coders/designers to this part, or actually putting more resources there themselves.

That in my opinion, are putting out BETTER games than these big head producers. We should be thankful. <br /><br />But like anything... If making a COD makes the money, they'll make another. Why? Because it's more money. Money is all it's about now, in my opinion. I think they've lost their edge they had, that gamers want GOOD games.Seamusehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07058521559929179039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-215795882847477733.post-47696278497593275822011-05-25T15:32:31.211-07:002011-05-25T15:32:31.211-07:00It's looking like game and music industry are ...It's looking like game and music industry are losing feather to independent project.
