"Both Half-Life 2 and Doom 3 will be playable on PC, yet there will be some new PC title shown on the show floor that will blow both of those games out of the water"
Whoa. Very interesting. Does Billy know something we don't? He also listed the game of the show note under PC (though that might just be because it is last).
""What the heck? There's much, MUCH more that could be added to the game, and I think they've only scratched the surface to its potential"
Any examples? I can think of superficial stuff to add but nothing that's worth making another Cube game for. I guess they could add some new stuff but to me the game was designed for online play so it's a huge waste to not go in that direction. Plus with very few exceptions I hate the idea of releasing more than one game in a series on the same console without a major new feature. I guess it's more of just my opinion but if I was making the call there would be no new Animal Crossing games made without online support. "
I agree with Bill. There is a *ton* of stuff that could be done with an offline Animal Crossing 2. Some ideas:
-Politics! Run for mayor, or vote for your favorite animal.
-Open up your own shop, selling things to other people/animals, and compete with Nook.
-More detailed fishing
-Dynamic tides
-Better, more interesting villagers (emphasis on personality depth, not numbers)
-Harvest Moon elements: Raise a farm (obviously simplistic compared to HM)
-Families (2 or more players can move in together, and some NPC's come with pre-set families)
-More specific inter-player relationships: Villagers will find out how players are related. Thus, if a player is another player's mom, she'll get a present on Mother's Day, animals will mention this in conversation, etc.
-Fully customizable characters - rather than merely changing an outfit, players will be able to choose their face, hair, skin color, individual bits of clothing, etc.
-More games! More NES games, GameBoy games, possibly a few SNES games, etc.
All this is just off the top of my head. Believe me, there is plenty that can be done with AC2. While the basic gameplay and controls will be the same, there are many possibilities for more depth than the original.
