1. DVR functionality
2. Choice between disc or digital download (excluding arcade titles)
3. Built in wireless (MS)
4. Keyboard and mouse support for titles (usb plugs, not proprietary)
5. Debut under $400

I’ve always been a fan of customization. I’d like to be able to tweak the characters in my games to look how I want them to look in all aspects. I want to put my face on Niko Bellic or Nathan Drake. Stuff like that.

I’d like to see motion controls take a backseat to reading my thoughts. That way, the soundtrack to the game I’m playing could be the song stuck in my head… which wouldn’t always be a good thing… but still cool.

A toaster oven integration would be nice… and something that makes going to the bathroom less distracting from the game. I’m sick of wearing Depends while I’m gaming (joke).

I want MMO’s to be even more expansive and immersible. I truly would like to step into new universes.

Other than that, this might do the trick:

Maybe the song stuck in my head is a horrendous idea. Right now, The Pina Colda song would be on a perpetual loop with half the words being mumbled.

“If you like Pina Coladas…. and getting caught in the rain.
Bum bum bum bum, bum bum bum bum”

God forbid I would ever hear Who Let The Dogs Out ever again. (Now you all have that stuck in your heads…ha… ha)

i would like games to recognize any word you type and convert it to in game voice

(create a player on nba2k10 and give it your last name, and have a team based on yourself and a few friends)

MASSIVE hard drives (10 tbs at least)

oh and dvr functionality!! damn im original

coffee talk trivia

the nfl just released its list of most popular jerseys (most sold) so far this year

who topped the list?

youll never guess who 2nd

@ Thundercracker

I would assume it’s the team with the largest and best fanbase in the world. You know, the one with 6 Lombardi trophies.

Refer to my Gravatar if the hints weren’t enough

@n8r

i meant which individual player has the most popular jersey

and no its not a steeler

@ Thundercracker

Hmmm… my first guess would be his holiness Peyton Manning… or that bastard Favre.

@ Thundercracker

Now, I cheated. Logical second guess wins over initial reasoning.

@N8R

“Ice Ice Baby”

Payback is a bitch.

@Thundercracker

1. Favre
2. AP?

The Wii 2 needs to have more affordable cheaply made games, I am just not really seeing this market being filled. Also they need to make some kind of plastic peripheral that the controller snaps into but won’t really add anything to the game.

The PS4 needs to slow down the time it takes to update the games and the console because sometimes I don’t feel like actually playing the game online right when I turn my console on. Sometimes my internet connection starts to feel lonely and Needs a 138mb patch downloaded over the next 4 hours.

The Xbox720 accessories have become too affordable and I don’t feel like I am getting quality products anymore because I am not paying enough for them. MS needs to be more realistic about their pricing models on those huge hard drives and wifi adapters. I mean really the general public knows that a lot of time and effort went into putting the newest technology and the largest harddrives into those plastic enclosures and that this new thing called WiFi has yet to take off and MS is make a huge investment by taking a chance with it so why not charge even more for it. Also I am glad I can’t just go around and easily stick any old hard drive into my 360, my console is monogamous to MS. And I am glad I can’t use the internet on my 360 also, no porn on my machine.

Other than those few minor things I can’t tell the future and the next console gen is far enough off we will probably all be wrong.

@ Smartguy

That 4 Non Blondes song.

@N8R

That one Ace of Base song

@ Smartguy

I’ll have you know, I’m crackin’ up over here.

Whoomp There It Is,

@smartguy

yeah favre is number 1

way off on number 2

heres a hint

so how do you feel about the game winning interception?

uh thats not what i asked

yes

@n8r

roxette-shes got the look

god damn gta commerical

@thundercracker

Cutler??

@n8r

whats gonna work? TEAMWORK

whats gonna work? TEAMWORK

wonderpets ftw

no dude, cutler is number 8

number 2 plays for someone in heres favorite team, but not yours, and obviously not mine!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!

@N8R

Good comeback. Hard to beat….

“she’s my cherry pie”

@ Thundercracker

Don’t make me quote The Wiggles.

also a defensive player (and a VERY good one)

someone should ask this guy why hes always gotta be so defensive about stuff

this one has been in my head for a while now

ahem

I AM A REAL AMERICAN, FIGHT FOR THE RIGHTS OF EVERY MAN.

damn hulk hogan, that song seriously wont leave my head

@ Smartguy

I actually have Jani Lane’s personal email… he gave it to me.

Mama’s got the magic of Clorox 2.

that geico commercial with the cavemen who go to the bowling alley

they play that 3 doors down song, that song also tends to get stuck in my head

great commercial though. Im that guy who cant get enough of those god damn cavemen

@thundercracker

I could keep making guesses, but I’ll let the other person throw one out.

@N8R

I feel like chicken tonight…like chicken tonight

@smartguy

hes a steeler and he has beautiful hair

DVR functionality would be awesome. I guess keyboard functionality for some games would be good as someone mentioned but wouldn’t work in FPS unless you want keyboard/mouse people to have a staggering advantage over controllers. I’m thinking more RTS but again in MP it doesn’t really work.

HDD wise I’d like to see large hard drives as well. there’s no reason each console shouldn’t be able to handle all of my music, movies, TV, and photos in addition to DVR functionality. I’d also like to see more video playback options from the next PS. it doesn’t currently support most of my video encoding (that’s a simple media software update)

I’d like to see MS move to Bluetooth but I’d rather keep the batteries on the outside of the
controller as is. I’d also like to see a redesigned option for the next PS controller or the ability to interchange any bluetooth controller for both consoles.

MS, wireless network support should be built in and please drop the proprietary HDD.

game wise I would like to see scenery play more of a part in games, such as more destructible environments in the next gen, a lot of games this gen are really pretty but it’s a pretty that you can see and not necessarily touch. immersion can disappear quickly when you toss a grenade on a table and nothing happens. I’ve been really impressed with physics, shadows and lighting this gen and can only hope for more next time around.

@thundercracker

ever since he started doing those damn shampoo commercials he reminds me of MIke Tyson. Tough physical guy….wimpy ass voice.

@ Smartguy

Tou f’n che! You’ve actually had me since Ace of Base.

F-R-E-E that spells free, credit report .com baby!

@slicky – good point about the next PS. they’ve got to lower the time it takes to download updates and install, they could take a lesson from the 10 second XBL game updates that are optional if you don’t want to play online that day.

also peer to peer download should be out the window. it took me a whole day to download the MGS MP demo which I played for about 30 minutes

@n8r

jesus christ, those commercials get me too. Sadly, i can recite any of them for you

@N8R

“been spending most our lives, livin in the gangstas’ paradise”

i have got that song on repeat now in my head. curse myself !!

@ Thundercracker

Tell me about it. It’s like the Big Mac song for the new millennium.

@smartguy

i tend to get “amish paradise” stuck in my head more than ganstas paradise

@thundercracker

I keep picturing that black guy who did the chorus from the song. he was all sweaty and it was the only thing he did in the song. T-Pain before T-Pain.

@ Smartguy and Thundercracker

Bare in mind my original point. These would be the soundtracks to our games if they could read our minds.

Bird is the word.

@N8R

I consider your last contribution a headshot lol.

i want you to want me.

@ Smartguy

I love me some Cheap trick, especially those first 2 albums. I’m still laughing my ass off about Ace of Base. I totally forgot they existed until you brought it up.

You take ‘em good, you take ‘em bad. You take ‘em both, and there you have The Facts Of Life.

I THINK I LOVE YOU SO WHAT AM I SO AFRAID OF

on a totally unrelated note, i wish i could think of a song that gets stuck in my head

One more before I head off to business law v.

“i was made for loving you baby, you were made for loving me” Gotta love the Kissco

Worst thread ever.

@ Thundercracker

Believe me, no you don’t.

@N8R

what reminded me of ace of base was about ten years ago a group of my friends and I were heading out to a ball game. the friend who was driving us had a blazer with a really nice sound system. when you flipped through his cd binder it was nothing but gangster rap…until tucked in the back…he had an ace of base cd. guess which one got put in?? it still gets to me today.

@ Smartguy

That sounds like it made the list of worst memories ever.

1) Losing Grandma
2) Katrina
3) stuck in car with Ace of Base.

You guys are awesome! Thanks for the laughs!

ace of base actually had several hits

one of those early to mid 90s bands that bring back crazy memories for me, along with bel biv devoe,paula abdul, wilson phillips and such

someday somebodys gonna make you wanna turn around and say goodbye..thats all i can remember from wilson phillips

I get knocked down, but i get up again. You’re never gonna keep me down.

@n8r

you hit it spot on actually.

Any smashmouth song.

Just give me 1080p and anti-aliasing. Although the current gen is capable of them, they can’t use them to their fullest which is necessary on a 1080p tv. I can play last gen games on my pc that look better than most current gen games simply because I can set them to 1080p with 18x + anti-aliasing.

Cmon, I can’t believe that I am late to a party where no one has played this…

You can dance if you want to…

Everybody Wang Chung tonight.

@n8r

livin la vida loca

Now that I’ve read the comments;

you stumbled in and bumped you’re head, if not for me then you’d be dead

I guess the DVR feature is the only thing that’s left that could be added to the next gen consoles.

I want to put Mmm Bop in your heads.

good wireless N gaming alternative here. $20 cheaper than the MS one and will upgrade your current PS3 internal G to N. definitely a smart buy for anyone rocking a wireless N network

http://gear.ign.com/articles/104/1045508p1.html

@rrod

thats hard cause no one knows any lyrics to that song, mmbop, do wop scribby al do wop

or something

There used to be a show on Nickelodeon when I was a kid that featured a “Fast Forward” machine that a kid could write in and have made available to them for one school day. I need one of those right now for work. Can’t remember the name of the show (I want to say it was Not Just News).

@larcenous

I’d just settle for a beer or 10

@Smartguy – I feel like my man card should be revoked for saying this, but I really don’t like beer. I have probably one of the most horrid taste pallets in the history of mankind, but I have 0 taste for liquors. Most counter that you drink for the buzz, but if it tastes like ass the entire time, that buzz just isn’t worth it to me. I’ll gladly settle for a pepsi or 10 though lol.

@larcenous

N8R doesn’t drink either. You two can share the Pepsi or whatever. It’s cool though lol.

@rpad the one button pizza ordering idea isnt too far off considering you can order pizza hut with an iphone app, but also i believe it is Comcast who has an option to order Dominoes from your tv with your remote. all from your couch. its not very widely used actually, but the technology is there.

1. I would love to have like a Reebok-like web-site where you could fully customize the colors-hard drive-capabilities-operating systems-etc. and they send to your house exactly the way you want it. It would be a nice change.

2. A fly-ass easy bake oven would make any system better, IMO

@LarcenousLaugh
I don’t drink either. Why Pepsi though, ICB Cream Soda is the best!

Yeah, well, the only think missing from the PS3 is the sandwich-grilling capabilities we were promised at a Sony press conference last year that took place in my head. Aside from that, the Xbox should have wireless integrated next time around and Nintendo should work on a better online interface or any other system besides the dreaded “friend code” garbage they have now. Always room for improvement, game console manufacturers. Listen to your damn followers to make a better product, please.

And while you guys are off topic; how about this one:
867-5309

I know you guys are going to hate me for that one.

-M

Songs that suck when they get stuck in your head hmm..

Cranberries – Zombie (just the chorus) Zombay, Zombay, Zombay ay ay ay ay.

I love you you love me…

John Jacob Jingle Heimer Schmidt….

C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E S-O-N-G SONG C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E S-O-N-G SONG

Who’s Clues, Blue’s Clues….

This is the song that never ends it goes on and on….

Love me love me, say that you love me

I fell asleep for a while, but i see the horrible song thing is still going strong. My sincere apologies to everyone who read these.

Little miss, Little miss, Little miss, Little miss can’t be wrong.

@ R Pad

Heaven is a good one for the list. I met him at NAMM one year and my friend had known him for years. He knows all those old hair metal guys, it’s sick. I hear that Warrant has a new singer now that’s apparently much better than Jani ever was.

Love is like oxygen. (youtube it if you have to)

When there’s something strange in the nabor hood, who ya’ gonna call?

@ Sandrock

I don’t mean to make fun of a spelling error, but Nabor hood sounds like Gomer Pyle in the ghetto.

@ R Pad

I saw Living Color back in ’89 with the Rolling Stones at the now gone 3 Rivers Stadium. Great show that was.

Just wanted to point out that Sony already made a TiVo+PS2. It was called the PSX but was only available in Japan and apparently didn’t do very well.
I’m guessing that hurts the odds it will return soon.
