Darth Bane would be interesting, but the apprentice of Darth Bane would be far more flexible.

But this is rather moot, since I think it's a give-me that they will create someone new. Personally? I want a new Jedi, perhaps a later generation Skywalker set between the plots of Legacy of the Force and the Star Wars Legacy comics. Much more room to mingle about without worrying too much about messing with canon.

*SPOILER*

Killing off Starkiller was cool...but not very smart. They really should have built up a few sequels first.

Another concept would be playing as one of the Shadow Guard. It is speculated that they were once Jedi, entirely corrupted to where they do not remember their pasts. It would be kind of cool to play as one as he slowly remembers who he once was, and either deciding to embrace his current life or fight back.

Whenever I play games on my Xbox 360 running the game on 1080i, the image runs off screen ever so slightly on the right side. This is noitceable only when there are words are images right there, such as in BioShock with the Audio Diaries, names usually are half cut off.

This is pretty trivial, but I really would like to fix it. I've tried changing every setting on the TV, but it won't show up correctly.

Is my TV (a 32 inch Sony Wega) too small for 1080i or something?

Hope someone can help.

I'm not trying to start one here, but is there a site to petition to get this game stopped now? It would be fine having it made if it didn't mean putting off an ACTUAL sequal.

I say this because Knights of the Old Republic, to me, was a story-driven tale of adventure. It was about meeting people, good and bad, and making decisions that effected the outcome of the galaxy. MMORPG's aren't really known for their stories, and it's hard to develop a character. Not to mention it's very annoying playing with people named Lukie SykwalkerLOL19.

Again, if they would simultaneously make the MMORPG and an actual sequal that tells the rest of the story, I'd be fine with it, but this MMORPG ensures there won't be an actual sequal for at least another 2 years....if at all.

Just my opinion...don't eat me.

Latest studies show that the 360 still has twice as many consoles in home than the PS3, which explains why its sales are slowing down. As for their shift towards handhelds, that is true but you have to keep in mind that Microsoft has never had a stable market in any Asian market, not just with games but with all their products. This isn't a recent concept, it's been that way since Microsoft came around.

And considering that HD-DVD's are selling abysmally, it would be pretty stupid of Microsoft to not embrace Blu Ray...and Microsoft never passes up on a chance to make money.

Well I use bigotry in an appropriate fashion. Japan does not by from Microsoft because they consider it the epitome of American economic domination, and because the Japanese tend to buy Japanese products.

I say fanboy because there are many people who will say my ideas are wrong just because they like the PS3, and have no reason besides that to like it.

And I said "call ME an idiot", in no way did I call anyone else an idiot. So read a little more indepth next time.

And as for the Wii, many game developers don't even consider the Wii to be a next gen console. Yes the controls are innovative, but so was the Game Glove for the original Nintendo, and it still was not considered in the same league as Sega Genesis. And I predict the Wii will slow down in sales, especially once game developers get tired of having to create custom engines for the console.

*braces himself for a lot of hate mail*

It seems to me that as of this point, PS3 is steadily losing it's competitive edge. As of E3 08, PS3 only has (off the top of my head) one major exclusive title, and that's Metal Gear. I say major, because Metal Gear is their most proven title. Resistance may turn out to be a good series, we will see. As for Killzone...the first one got, at best, average reviews. While the sequel looks good, we all have seen many games that look great and end up worthless.

From late 2007 up until this point in 2008, PS3 has lost the following exclusive titles:

Final Fantasy

Devil May Cry

Grand Theft Auto

Resident Evil

There may be more, but you get my point. I am in no way bashing the PS3, but now that Microsoft will be selling Blu Ray players (not sure when this starts?), it is hard to justify paying that price. The one thing PS3 has is the fact that buying a PS3 is actually cheaper than buying a Blu Ray player, so that's pretty cool there. PS3 also has the benefit of Asian markets being bigots towards Microsoft, so 360 will never sell well there.

As for the Wii, it's biggest downfall is that because of it's unique gameplay, it is much harder to port games to the Wii. Put yourself into the place of a game developer. While there are some complicated measures in porting from PC to console, going from console to console is fairly easy. However, imagine if you had to redo an entire games gameplay to accomodate the controls? Not to mention the power of the Wii is on par with old gen consoles, so you would have to dumb down your graphics to run the game on the Wii. Of course, graphics aren't everything and the Wii offers unique gameplay, but it's uniqueness is also it's biggest issue.

So it must be obvious now that I believe the Xbox 360 will end up being the top selling next gen console. Note I don't say best, that is an opinion. I simply believe it will outsell the others in the long run. This continues the trend that the system released first typically will sell the most. Add on the fact that a vast majority of Sony's exclusive titles are no longer exclusive, and maybe you will see where my thought process is going.

Now is where irrational Sony fanboys call me an idiot. Again, keep in mind I am not saying any console is better, I'm just stating my opinion on fiscal outcomes.

Now don't get me wrong, the PSP is a great idea in theory...but I hate it because it continues to get good games exclusively. I do not own one, so I am missing out on games that I would absolutely love to play...and I refuse to spend 200 bucks just to play them, seeing as how I am in college and simply cannot afford it.

For example, Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core....I have wanted another Final Fantasy game to play for years, and after Dirge sucked I was just aching for another...and it's a PSP exclusive! Why couldn't they just make it on PS2/PS3 as well as the PSP? Keep the same graphics, I don't care! I just want to play the game!

Same with God of War: Chains of Olympus, Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, etc.

Just port the darn games to my PS2!!!

...that's my rant

Okay so, we still have awhile before these games are upon us...so I want to debate which game will be better! I'm sure most will say GTA 4...but let's see!

Grand Theft Auto 4 is boasting a lot of new features, but it seems like Saints Row 2 is looking to add more features than even GTA.

The first one-up for Saints Row goes to the fact that you can create your own character. Now, besides the absolutely hideous hairstyles in Saints Row, the character customization was really fun. It especially got fun when you got to the point where you just covered your character in outfits and bling and what not. GTA has the clothing down, but it remains to be seen if you can customize it as much.

GTA has a voice actor. Now supposedly in Saints Row 2 you will be able to choose a voice for your character, so let's hope he actually gets some lines, but for now I have to assume his lines will be sparse, if even existent, so this one goes to GTA

Graphics...it's hard to say! GTA 4 looks amazing! But Saints Row just completely destroyed GTA in the graphics department originally. True there was a generation gap as far as console capability, but still the fact remains. Not to mention, Saints Row 2 will be coming out after GTA 4, meaning more time to look at GTA 4 and up the graphics just to top the competitor.

Hmm...more to come

Glad to see this took off!

I definitely agree with all the comments about characters influencing the world. Kvatch was THE premium center-point of this. I loved how people would recognize my character as "The Hero of Kvatch", but I continuously would warp back there to see how repairs were going...only to find that a year later the town was still on fire and the sun was blotted out!

I would say mounted fighting is a must. I want to be able to charge by enemies and cut them down as opposed to climbing off my horse every time.

I would like Vampire to be a starting option. The Vampire portion of the game was incredibly cool in my opinion. I just would have preferred to be able to maybe start off as one.

Again, can't emphasize enough...character back story! Take Mass Effect and do that. Let me decide if my character is from a town that I will eventually come across in Tamriel, and run into people I knew and have them marvel at how I've changed and blah blah blah.

Better head-to-torso blending. Ever notice your torso being a rather different tone than your head? Apparently a tan-line...

Better stealth system. Being a stealth character wasn't too useful in the end considering you could sneak up, do a lot of damage....but then get stuck down by the other 10 guys, and the guy you hit from behind who is still alive. Instant stealth kills seem a must, also perhaps a grab and drag system where I can pull a guy into the shadows for a speedy kill.

I touched on this a bit earlier, but have more anatomy related damage. If I hit you in the head with a hammer...you're dead. The leg...you're hobbled. The arm...it's useless. I want that. Would have made hammers far cooler. For swords, losing limbs would be very cool.

Expand on the Arcane University subplot....great concept that wasn't executed too well.

I think it would be better if the main plot didn't pick up so quickly. Let me start off in the world free to do as I please for a bit, then at some point have me stumble upon the quest-line. For instance, start off as an apprentice Mage, and eventually get assigned to go to some village for something trivial but encounter an invasion or something along those lines.

Have the "evil" responses have a purpose. Why was my character apparently evil but still saving the day? He should have taken over the world instead.
