What Do You Want From Gaming Industry in 2016?

@digitm64: i know they'll never happen , bummer :(

Yeah i'm desperate for new stuff , that's why i'm gonna go Nintendo ! It's been long time since i've played their games ...

How can scoring system be done right?

I hope the NX to be awesome.

Here's one I have been hoping for since 2010 (2009?). More information on Agent. At least tell if it still exists ;__;

Ideally the scoring system should reward the thing you want the player to get good at with the systems.

Platinum Games scoring systems are pretty straight forward: Don't fucking get it. It sounds difficult, because it is, there is a learning curve to play that game, but all the mechanics are there in Bayonetta where even on the highest difficulty you can get good enough that the enemies won't even touch you. And as a result that ties into your ability to do the combat more efficiently and quicker, it ties into how varied your combo selection will be, and how prolonged you can make it (dodge offset is necessary if you're going to be working on not getting hit).

In contrast: Valkyria Chronicles, excellent fucking game, one of my favorite games from the previous generation, I'm not the biggest fan of how it handles the grading system. For starters it tends to reward speed, which isn't inherently a bad thing, but in VC1 it basically takes away the concept of handling a mission tactically, and really just taking advantage of your scouts and bum rushing the ever living shit out of a lot of missions.

MGSV is similar in this regard, pure stealth gets the job done as well, as it should, that should be system: do this quietly, max grade. Get alerted once? Significant hit to your grade. But it also really gives a generous award to time, that really a lot of those missions can be cheesed as well, and that to me takes away from the thing you want the player the get good at.

Otherwise they've been done right plenty, Arcade games did them well for decades, Platinum has a good handle on it, more recently Velocity 2x, and the like. Platinum has neutered it a bit, as the non Kamiya games tend to be nicer about poor performance and giving the player a silver/gold medal, which I think speaks more to the pansy mentality we've created in the modern era, where no one likes hearing and seeing that they actually aren't that good at video games, just because they can make it to the end credits.

@jg4xchamp: Good points , thanks.
