Ignoring the Last Times we're in, a situation happens where a totally brand new company appears with all the resources to make your dream-console. Describe this console - what hardware, what's the approach to handle things, what business moves this company takes etc
My would be:
- Total focus on gameplay in games
- System's own optimized Engine to use all the power
- Every year there's a collaboration with other companies, to release exclusive game on this system each year
- Only one SKU
- Only focus is on games, no movies and other media stuff
- By playing games you unlock special 90% off deals in the console's store

Mario, that shit is not normal

It is a console which is possessed by ghost of Hideo Kojima, and it creates a new Metal Gear game as soon as I finish the previous one.

Also, it runs everything at 60fps.

Thread 'Dreams that came true: Remember the timeline of the main rumors about the ''Dreamcast 2'''

Jun 26, 2024

Believe it or not, even today, in the second half of 2024, there are diehard Sega fans who dream of a new console from that amazing company. Wow, in a few months we will be in 2025, so it will be 24 years since Sega left the console market. Dreamcast had a short commercial cycle, at that time there were two releases, one Japanese and one Western a window of 11 months, the GCN was the first console to break this tradition and from the 7th gen onwards the launch of consoles became almost simultaneous in all markets, from a western perspective the Dreamcast only lasted 18 months, but we felt...

For many years people have dream about a console that can play all the new games, and well, right now PS5 is basically this console.

[phant0m]

From a new company? No. I have no interest in something from a brand new company, we saw how shit like that went with Ouya.

But to answer the rest of your question:

• It's a hybrid (like Switch)
• It's from SEGA
• It's a cross between Dreamcast and Game Gear
• It's SEGA DreamGear?

Launch Titles:

• Sonic Adventure 3
• New Virtua Fighter
• NFL 2K27
• New Persona (1 yr exclusive)
• New Yakuza (1 yr exclusive)

Last Times for Xbox. Not for Sony and Nintendo platforms, who are better than ever and won't go away anytime soon.

So detailed! I personally think a gaming console needs to fucking be as simple as possible.

I meant the Global situation. From time to time I slide in this information here. Like the Last Times as written in the Bible. The Main Quest, in the Reality, soon to be... - to not take the Mark of the Beast. The Holy Trinity made gaming possible, and it's very fucking dear to me.

New form of faster than light communication tech is created and everything can be streamed with no lag. Can play all games with the best settings on any device even on Mars.

Its PlayStation 3 but playstation 5 pro

A pc without all the hassle of PCs, and make it play Nintendo games.

Aside from the last point and the single sku, you're describing a game console that exists.

We are never getting anything like this and I'm so glad I was there. Gamerscore, everyone having mics, so many good games, so many active multiplayer games. So fucking good.

 

[Wonko_C]

-As powerful as a PS5 Pro at the very least.
-Wireless VR headset bundled with every console.
-Such headset is NOT standalone, it MUST be tethered to the console like the PSVR2, only wirelessly. None of this "limited by mobile chipset" BS, we want great VR graphics.
-All games developed for it must fully support both standard and VR modes.
-Allow Nintendo to make games for it.

 

[Danjin44]

My dream console is as long it has games I want. How much power it has is irrelevant.

 

[olninty]

Yeah man, it's called the Switch 2. It costs £329.99, games cost max £50. There's no fucking around with download keycard nonsense. Sorted.

 

[ResilientBanana]

PC literally is my dream console. I would prefer the OS to be Linux Arch with to the metal optimizations for gaming for most commonly used technology and should come in scalable pricing. Low (30-60fps 1080p), Mid (30-60fps 2K), High (60-120fps 2K / 30-60fps 4k), Ultra (60-240fps 4K). This would allow price ranges to be anywhere from $650 - $2500. I would also like the console maker to not only accept all game engines, but also have a custom unified game engine for the console itself to utilize all of it's technologies efficiently that you could port over to the engine of your choice for multi-plat releases but utilizing the proprietary engine as a development station.
