Tokyo Game Show 2010 is officially behind us, Halo: Reach continues to dominate the general gaming consciousness, and that big video game censorship case heading to the Supreme Court is getting more and more fascinating by the day. What I’m trying to say is, there’s a whole bunch going on in the gaming world at the moment, and, as we do every week, we’d like to know what you think about it. Drop us a topic suggestion in the comments section below, and check out Feedback later this week to see if our illustrious panel tackles your eloquently posed and logically rich inquiry. (Seriously, we can’t do it without you!)

What's up Feedback? Love the show, look forward to it every week. I have a couple of questions. First, I would like to know the feedback crews opinion on the Supreme Court issue. Not so much what is going on but why it is happening.
Second, do parents really know what the ESRB is or how the rating system works? I have read and heard interviews with the "industry" on many occasions that parents do. As much as I hate to say it, the game industry needs to realize they don't. I can vouch for this on a professional level. As a former manager at Gamestop, I had a lot of parents that would come into the store with their kid/s to buy a game. The kid/s would bring a mature rated game to the counter with his/her parent looking on. I would then tell the parent that the game was rated M for mature and list off the ESRB's reason for that rating, violence, language, sexual situations and so on whatever they may be. Most of the parents would just say "Oh that's fine they see worse on TV anyway" or "What does that mean?" I would explain the ESRB rating to them, where it is on all games and what it means. Nine out of ten times they bought the game for the child anyway. Parents need to be held accountable for what they are buying for their kid/s and not put the blame on the industry. Yet it just feels like the general public backing this new law proposal are the same people that bought GTA for their 10 year old.
The best example for how seemingly bias this whole thing is the movie industry. Nobody is getting the Supreme Court involved because some parent took his 5 year old to see an R rated movie but games that are targeted for an audience that is well over 18 are. Sorry for the randomness, too many things to say/vent about this issue.

I used to work in the automotive industry, and the whole industry had huge over-capacity issues, meaning they produced way too many cars. This tended to reduce the vehicle's asking price, due to the whole supply vs. demand thing.
Fallout: New Vegas and Fable III are coming out within weeks of each other, which made me start to think about potential over-capacity issues within the gaming industry, especially since those two games seem to targeting very similar audiences.
So here's the question. At what point will the gaming industry start to face over-capacity issues, and how do you think the industry will respond?

As a hardcore gamer, i been playing MW2 mulitplayer ever since buying the game, including other games with multiplayer like red dead, GTA4, Halo Reach, etc. even though these games have great storyline, i find myself not caring about the story, so much to the point i think that where if the game designers see that alot of people dont care about the storyline what if they won't put the work in the storyline and focus on just the multiplayer.? My question is this, Have u guys ever played any games in the past or present that the storyline was just awful but the online was the only reason u still have it and do u believe that online play in any game = more money no mater what the game is about?
P.S G4Tv.com is the only place where i get the greatest news on things i only care about, games, tech, and how Adam gets is analogies for feedback.

With the recent innovations and exposure to motion-sensing technology utilized by the wii and now the PS3 and 360 via their respective versions (Move/Kinect), how far and how fast do you think this technology will progress?
If you're like me you're probably hoping this is one of only a few stepping stones towards commercialized V.R. gaming, where motion-sensing and video glasses technology is combined allowing us to become a characters eyes (or the games camera) and hands.

Here's something thats been Puzzling to me for about 10 years now, and i even asked the EA Panel about it back in the 08 E3, and they said they had something in the works,but never followed through on it. How come there any female Sports games like WNBA,Women's Soccer,Baseball,MMA,Boxing, etc.? Each of the ones i named are in the Olympics (have been for a long while too) and yet no games for it. What are youre thoughts about it?

Hey everybody, I was wondering what you guys think of the morality in games. I know its been around for a while, but it seams to have gotten big in the recent years, with some games doing it better than others. Do you think this will continue, and will we possibly see a greater depth in the choices we get to make?

After reading Stephen Johnson's article on Philisophical Training for Halo: Reach I began thinking of little rituals and the like I have done to try and make myself better and a certain game (aka. trying to own in multiplayer, which usually doesn't happen). Are there any little rituals (other than hard work and practice) that you the Feedback team do while gaming to be better?

The TGS trailer of Devil May Cry 5 shows us a very different looking Dante, which has led to lots of speculation. Inafune has said in interviews he wanted to try something different to interest western gamers in the franchise. It's possible his new appearence is a plot hook or that they are rebooting the series entirely (the trailer only calls the game Devil May Cry, omitting the '5' from the title.) My question is this; when is the proper time to 'reboot' a video game franchise? Or rather, CAN you effectively reboot a franchise without ostracizing your former audience? For example, what if 343 tries to remake the original Halo?

My question is about the changes that are between the Bioshock games of Infinite and the Rapture. After watching the 10 minute demo of the new entry into the series, we all heard something we've never heard before in the previous games. Our main character actually spoke and seems to have written dialogue, we also see him interacting with his slight Damsel in distress/ partner in escape Elizabeth. Now we are certain the game is more scripted than the originals and less moral choices will be made. Will this in turn favor the hardcore and casual fans of bioshock or ask Irrational games to shut him up and let us speak for him?

Over the past year, a trend has appeared in which game sequels do not diverge from successful predecessors. Mario Galaxy 2, Modern Warfare 2, Halo: Reach, and God of War 3 are some of the most successful games of the year in their respective fields.
Yet when compared to the games that precede them, there are relatively minor marginal improvements.
So why are these games, which demonstrate very little by way of innovation, being so well received?

In a previous feedback you had mentioned the playstation's 15th birthday. This got me reminiscing about my favorite games during that time and why they seemed so special to me. I came to the conclusion that playstation games stood in an awkward middle ground where the graphics were groundbreaking for the time but nothing as close to what we have now. They provided me with the ability to fill in the graphical void with my imagination. The cut scenes in Final Fantasy 7 set up a dynamic world, it let me play the role of director in my head. The actual game graphics were amazing for the time but they were still bad enough for me to fantasize about the world within the game. I feel that this has changed dramatically in modern gaming, in that games now tend to represent the imaginative perspective of a developer. This is by no means a bad thing but it has shifted from previous generations. my question for you is, "Have you felt the change I described from generation to generation and was there a game you felt was aided by your imagination filling in the blanks?"
Thanks for your time

Last night I bought a copy of Civ 5 from my local Gamestop. Like an addict I frantically drove home, ran up the stairs of my condo to install the one game that sustains me through gaming droughts. Having already ripped off the plastic in the car, I slammed the disk into my computer, and sat there fidgeting, holding the product key in my shaking hands.
Finally installed!!! Time to get my fix. I click to launch, but wait!..what's this?..Steam prompt...ok,ok...probably just some last minute patches....NO!!!!!!!!! I have to be logged into steam to play a game I bought? That I bought on a disc specifically so I can play a whenever I want on my laptop, even when I don't have an internet connection...well F#(% That!!!!
Maybe it because I'm around Adam's age and becoming grumpy, but I am very particular about casually having my personal data out there. On my 360 I play offline unless I am getting updates or in matchmaking for halo or battlefield. Steam has an "off-line" mode, but it seems very twitchy, and I think your not actually off-line with that unless you pull ethernet cord out of the wall.
Anyone else out there getting fed up with this?

Has anyone downloaded the (User Made) 911 map in file share? Don't bother, it will probably just make you mad. It amazes me how tasteless some folks can be. What amazes me the most is why Bungie left it on their servers? I'm not super religious or a model of public correctness. I just think that having two towers with planes phased in them, and another plane phased into the pentagon is going over the line.
In this instance what is meant to be a competitive and fun game turns into something much darker. If it was meant to be a joke or a tribute then it was done in bad taste.
What do you guys think?
I have not played online since the weekend, so it's possible that the user created map has been removed.

With the recent releases of Starcraft II and the upcoming release of Duke Nukem: Forever, both of which have been in development and highly anticipated for over a decade, I am curious if you think there are any other franchises that still retain its celebrity today after 10 years or more since its release that if developers were to create a new game today it would easily become an instant hit?

i know this is a slightly stupid question but what established game series would you like to see an M rated version of just for the hell of it, i personally would like to see a legend of zelda game in the bloodiest and goriest way possible. i also wanna ask do you think that the quality of game nowadays have diminished because lately there havent been any games that came out that felt like they left a big impact on me in a way that i'd remember it for years to come and still love it like ocarina of time, nowadays i feel games are being rushed out the door to hit store shelves and that nobody makes a game for the love of gaming and they just make games for money. i would like to know your guyses opinion on this.

I've been following the new law their trying to pass with SCOTUS and all and I feel really threatened as a gamer mainly because i've been playing those games for most of my life, but when will people learn they will not be able to "beat" the videogame industry, I would imagine that someone wouldve learned after the whole Dungeons & Dragons scandal with satanism back in the 70's and 80's.

Year after year we see a larger and larger % of FPS games and what I feel to be a decline in the classic rpg. I wanted to ask: Why is it that this is happening and will we ever see a resurgence of the classic rpg games?
More currently: Do you think a game can be too realistic to be a good game?

I am glad to see that Sony has announced Ico & Shadow of the Colossus coming to the PS3. I have searched several websites to find the release date. I found it to be December 31, 2010. That is the same day The Last Guardian will be released. Do you think they will have a bundle pack for all 3 games for us lazy folks?

With the upcoming release of Move and Kinect, do you believe that today's motion gaming is simply the beginning of an industry-wide shift to a new way of interacting with games? Do you think that there will be a point where all games move away from the standard controller as an input device and more interactive controls become the norm?
