What would you most like to see?
I think it would be great if a company made a game with 16bit graphics but make it enormous.

Yeh but they could make the game have lower graphics but use the rest of the space so it can be longer and bigger , and when I say bigger I mean bigger than anything else ever.

I think a mix between the two. A bigger game would be great but I wouldn't want it at the expense of having to have
16-bit graphics. Nobody would buy a 16-bit game on PS2 or Dreamcast anyway. They'd look at the box and think "yeah, right". Graphics are important to me when choosing a game or reading a preview. Most of the time, if the game has great graphics then the developers have usually put in the effort to make good gameplay as well. I know this isn't always the case but a game with great graphics gives a good first impreesion. I know gameplay is the most important thing but I couldn't buy a game with 16-bit graphics for a 128-bit console. It would just seem like a step in the wrong direction.

They already did that with Midway classics volumes 1 & 2. They were met with great enthusiasm as magazines awarded the games around the 30% mark. They probably didn't sell too well either which is why companies aren't going to ever make a very, very, very large 16-bit game.

What do you mean by greatest hits. Pong , Parrapa the Rappa, the one were you play as a beach ball (that was so addictive by the way), tomb raider and tekken 1. I don't think 5 metal gear solids or Gran turismos (or games ov equal sizes) would fit on a single PS2 disc. Oh well who knows. If they could then make a comeback.
