give us a damn BOX that we can buy off the shelf and that’s good to play for the next goddamn so many years without being bothered for constant upgrades.

good idea, but sadly, that won’t happen. that won’t happen becuase that is how the entire computer games and hardware industry makes it’s money – by bringing out new games and hardware that will please customers and make them buy the products – making more and more money for the developers.

Gamers always want more realism that what is available at the time, and the developers respond simply because they want to make money and be at the top of people’s present lists, and they want customers to buy their products. More realism requires more powerful machines, and as developers find ways of adding to a games realism through use of improved graphics etc, you will need more powerful machines.

if a hardware company released a box that was designed to play the games of the next five years, they would need their heads tested. after just a few months of its release, games will have been bought out that require much more powerful hardware – hardware that this box wouldn’t provide or match.

the games and hardware industry is developing so fast. if microsoft/sony etc said to games developers that we have a gaming box that must be able to play the next computer games for the next 5 or more years the developers would laugh and walk away sharpish. such a box would limit developers possibilities in future game design and would work towards slowing and stagnating the industry – something that no one who makes money from computer games and hardware wants.

EDIT – surely an x-box flight sim FS200X would limit freeware/payware and personal development of the game – something that right now, i should think is one of the major selling points of the game – the ability for gamers to modify the game themselves, and buy literally hundreds of add-ons – with an x-box, i don’t think that this platform would allow such a thing becuase you need software and hardware other than the game and what x-box provides, to do this.

Will, can u make your images smaller – perhaps to 800×600 so we can see them clearly – and i think we could enjoy them alot better! 🙂

Is it just me, or does anyone else think that Adam’s got far too much spare time on his hands. :p
