You're insane and believe you're "The Emperor of Videogames". What's your 1st decree?

I don't understand why they would risk being flogged.

all they have to do is make it playable by PC gamers at least, the consolers can eat cake.

Because every pre-release trailer/screenshot is a lie. All of them. Yes, even the ones from the companies you like. They are not showing you a completed, working game. They are showing you one tiny piece of the game running in a development environment (which is nothing like the final shipped product).

Every trailer or playable demo from the companies I've worked for are complete baloney dressed up to look like "the real game". On the back-end they are held together with the code equivalent of duct-tape and fairy dust. They are "well this is what we sure hope the final game will be like!" But then when you get to optimizing (yes, even for PC exclusives) you go "Well... shit" and stuff gets cut. And graphics are always the first (but not only) thing to go.
 
The Last Guardian, Shenmue 3, and Half Life 3 are now all Wii U exclusives.

No more anime games can be produced because they are lame. Any person who violates this law will be forced to watch every episode of Dragon Ball Z to completion 70 times 70.
 
- get rid of mobile games
- get rid of all shooters
- disband Square Enix, lock up those who were at Enix, and then order the Gooch to return to Squaresoft.
- bring back the golden age of MMOs.
 
Iconic characters should not be altered, anyone who tries should be banned from said series. Likewise, gamers have a choice, either all silent protags include customization, this includes everyone from chell to Samus to even Mario in some games, or all silent protagonists stay untouched, as either all are ok or none are ok.
 
Gearbox would not be allowed to release another game until they give us the Aliens Colonial Marines game they promised us. Also Randy Pitchford would be forced to explain why he as the spokesman lied to the gaming community.

Oh yeah Shenmue 3, Panzer Dragoon Saga 2, and Jorneyman Project 4 would come out in 2017.
 
Anyone who SWATs anyone in an even vaguely videogame related context gets thrown straight into solitary confinement for a year because they obviously aren't a functional human being.
Rape threats and death threats, stalking, general harassment etc get similar treatment but probably shorter sentences.

Oh yeah and Platinum makes Metal Gear Rising 2: Back 2 The Revenge.
 
No games announced that won't ship within a year
All games must show actual gameplay from running versions (the above should help)
Delta Force series makes a come back and is super awesome
All Japanese gaming companies must make a return to console gaming
Silent Hills must be made and Konami leadership is to publicly apologize by making the game for FREE.
SEGA returns with console development
Cross gen gaming must cease after two years within the new generation
 
I decree, focus testing shall be only done with the games target audience as indicated by its ESRB rating. My second decree, there shall be a limit of 10 games follow a popular trend. Any beyond that limit must submit an argument that states what makes their game different than the others. My third decree, apple, amazon, Google and others WILL without exception, curate their app stores, clamp down on copyright infringement, improve discovery for those who wish to use the medium as a place to create unique content and elevate the platform, rather than be dominated by F2P as it is. Fourth decree, if companies release products that do not function as advertised, either due to false advertising or game breaking bugs, that customer is entitled to a 100% refund within 30 days of purchase.
 
Make a sequel to Shadow of the Colossus, and a complete remake of the original SotC that includes all the scrapped Colossi! Also force Ken Levine to do a wee jig on stage at E3 because.....reasons.......and science...
 
That Capcom be given whatever funds are necessary to regain the Marvel license & develop MvC4. And on Marvel's end, none of that "No X-Men or Fantastic Four" bullshit. The FGC wants their Wolverine, Jean Grey, Storm, Magneto, Sentinel, & Dr. Doom.
 
You dare give me this much power? As a first decree, it's hard to pick between

-SEGA gets back into the hardware business, or at least gets funding dedicated toward reviving old franchises (SoR, Vectorman, Shinobi, Comix Zone, Jet Set Radio, Skies of Arcadia, etc.)

-Shenmue Saga, consisting of Shenmue 1 & 2 HD & 3 in a full, complete package.

-SNK gets funding to directly contribute more to fighting games, next game released is either a new Last Blade, Art of Fighting, or Garou game.

-Arcades to be prevalent again in the U.S.

-Nintendo removes region-lock; Amiibo scalpers get scalped.

-Capcom mandated to prove Darkstalkers is NOT DEAD with a new fighter headed up by Ono. Dragon's Dogma gets HD release and confirmed sequel(s). Megaman Legends 3 revived and distributed complete and for free to the populace. The Marvel license is on loan to Capcom whenever they want to use it for fighters. DMC 5 is the sequel to DMC 4, headed by Itsuno. Viewitful Joe given to Platinum. Any resistance will be met with the company being renamed to "Capcpom" (permanently) or "Crapcom" effective immediately, depending on my mood.

-Kojima given the chance to become Konami CEO, or has free reign to make whatever he wants. Konami not allowed to re-enter mobile/pachinko space until they make highly-rated game from all of their franchises (including Hudson Soft games). Silent Hills gets made by approriate people. Metal Gear Rising 2 gets made by Platinum (and same musicians). Any resistance will be met with the company being renamed to "Fuck Konami" effective immediatley.

-Final Fantasy VII Remake, The Last Guardian, and Half Life 3 gets made. Soon. Announced between now and E3 2016 if they already haven't started.

-All ports handled either in-house or with developers who have a good track record. All ports released when all QA issues are met.

-All highly-anticipated games must have previews or demos of a final build available within a month of release.

-Japanese gaming companies are required to maintain 60-70% console/retail efforts if they want to continue doing mobile.

-Retail copies with detailed maunals never go away; GOTY editions required for DLC-heavy or games with troubled releases. Anyone who bought a technical mess of a game at release gets the fixed GOTY edition for free, or a full refund, retail or digital.

-Always-online goes away. Used games never go away.

-F2P and on-disk DLC to be severly limited. Microtransactions are dead.

-Steam and mobile spaces to be heavily curated. Only certain mobile games allowed to appeal to whales.

-All games and versions of games to be preseved. No execptions.

-"Gamers" as a term officially means someone who plays games often enough that it is a hobby to them.
 
All people complaining about preorders* will first be flogged and upon their second offense shall be swiftly executed.

*Including but not limited to complaining about the existence of preorders, people who preorder.
 
Obsidian gets to do Fallout. And they get to do Elder Scrolls too (Hey, they seemed to do good at taking everything that was good about what Bethesda did with Fallout and improving on the stuff Bethesda doesn't do wrong. I bet they could make a better Elder Scrolls too).

Also, SP games must allow for offline play.
 
I would tease a Final Fantasy VII remake, show the title, and slowly fade in another I, and reveal that it's actually a Final Fantasy VIII remake.
 
All games must have 'Infinite CHUD' mode.

In this mode, you go underground and blast CHUDs (Cybernetic Humanoid Underground Dwellers) with a bazooka. You also get time travel powder by grinding up their genitals, and you use that to go back in time to blast Dinosaur CHUDs.

Look, I've gone insane, and think I'm the "emperor" of video games. Why should my new law make sense?
 
I would make it so that when you buy a copy of a game, you gain access to that game on all platforms that game is available on.
 
I would end PC gaming forever and anyone who ever mentioned 'master race' would have to play a Wonderswan for the rest of their existence
 
Games cannot take longer than 3 hours to beat and cannot be more than $20

I'm tired of AAA games that are 90% filler and cost too much.
 
I decree that for every major patch that is required to fix a game, the publishers must return a portion of the money paid for said game.
 
Off the top of my head?

Make mouse and keyboard the standard and priority for game design, essentially doing away with terrible interfaces, and design limitations of controllers.
 
I would decree that anyone who completes 100% of a game without cheating will get 50% off their next game purchase.

Likewise with all following games.
 
ALL co-op games are required to have the interaction options and variety of the original Army of Two. No exceptions.
 
No more sequels allowed for any IP from here on out. Every IP has to feel complete and go from beginning to end, no cliff hangers. All games out now are allowed one final release in the IP, to properly say farewell to their characters.

No DLC allowed past the 1 year mark.

One final Zelda. One final Halo.

Sounds crazy but I'm curious to see what would happen.

Some of my favorites.

My vote would be a new (and good) Secret of Mana game.
 
Every game should have an extended appearance by Lucy Liu. She will show up 30-odd minutes into the game and give her opinion on what's going on. Then leave.

Every

Single

One.
