@D4rksh0gun Amen. I bought Skate 2 expecting a split-screen game mode, only to find that it's pure single-player and online multiplayer. I mean that's fine, but for me that rarely plays online and just want to play with friends or my brothers, that's not good. More games are following that trend, anticipating that more players are connecting online as an excuse for not including a system where multiplayer can be played on a single console without online when in reality they are leaving us with fewer choices. For me side-by-side couch play is still the standard, and game developers should cater those that prefer that as well. And many of them addresses that there are too many games right now. I agree, and when it's my turn to make one I hope I can deliver that polish and quality so that it'll shine. I'll be participating in the IGF of 2010 I think, as I'm just at the beginning.
I would want to try my hands making iPhone games. Sure people wouldn't care, but I think it's a very clever piece of technology to make games on. But then again, I promised myself not to touch any Apple products unless I got a Mac, which is really not affordable. Maybe after I get a job, or win the lottery at least. Plus iPhone is like 10x more expensive than my cellphone right now, and my dad still buys us our PS3 games! And in a rate of 2 a year in that case. Economy is really giving us a hard time. I wish I have an iPhone, or an iPod touch. Or maybe a dev emulator, kind of like those used by my friend for developing Microsoft Mobile Applications. Or I'll just marvel on other people's work and just play. I envy you boxofwit, you're like a handheld powerhouse.
