As thoughts go

I was relaxing watching my daily dose of YouTube when I ended up watching a replay of the 1993 game Aliens versus Predator, a highly enjoyable game and it brought some settings back. You see, I have been a massive fan of Mad, especially Spy Versus Spy, as such I got the game in 1984 for my trusty CBM64 and I enjoyed loads of the with this game. But why has it vanished? There was later a PS2 version and that was it. I had the first and third game on my CBM64 and I started to mull a few things over today. What if it was relaunched with a difference? The game on your PS5 with upgrades (wait for it), but the largest idea came a little later. So what happens when you get the PS5 game? You also get a license for the PlayStation Portal™ and that opens up new frontiers, especially if the game is also there on the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2. Sony and Nintendo players could face off against one another. As such the game could be launched on Nintendo and Sony with a new option to use it against one another. Gamers not confined to a single platform, but gamers uniting for the joy of gaming and this game will be an exquisite setting. 

Graphically it should improve, especially considering the CBM64 graphics and there would be a seating of versatile levels. Like a square with 2 times 4 bars, ear exits and two ‘hidden’ ways from the left top to the right lower bar and from the left top bar to the right lower bar. I also think that you only see your side of things, but with the bars you hear the music the other spy hears. There are still traps and counter methods (as per trapulator) but it would be nice to have an arsenal with them and they are released per level in the same way it was, but a more versatile collection of traps. The game would view more 3D. The original level settings are still there too, but I would like to increase the amounts of options there. And optionally a new setting, the spy cams that could be released and set in a room so that you can see some rooms when the other spy wanders in. 

And all this could propel the need for the PlayStation Portal™, and it is merely the first game that comes to mind, because a portal is essential for multiplayer settings. You could also play it on the PS4/PS5/PS6 but there is still the essential Nintendo link and as this is also played through the internet, you get the seating to play friends and create new friends no matter whether they are Sony or Nintendo players. And there is a real setting here, there are 176,000,000 switch players and they might like to connect to the Sony population of a little over 211,000,000. 

So back to the game, at least three levels from the start and 2-4 levels added optionally from start, but it makes sense to add them later on. Also the escape, which was a plane, should be in good Spy vs Spy trend, optionally escape with a submarine (arctic level) and a tank escape. All optional that makes sense as both the Nintendo and Sony devices have a lot more than a smile 64Kb. I reckon that Hideaki Nishino and Shuntaro Furukawa should have lunch real soon to see what they can do together. Because there is an upside, as this matures, there is every chance that Sony people want a Switch (I already have mine) and vice versa (I have that one too) as such they could fuel gaming together and create several games that applaud that setting. Titles like Wave Race: Blue Storm, Mario Kart, Soul Calibur, Super Smash bros, the EA sport games all rearing to gain a multiplayer following and the nice part is that the one who owns the license can invite one player at any given time. (So an owner can let a non-owner of that game in)

An optional seating that would fuel the purchase of a game. The idea is to offer a lot more to gamers and that reps itself in revenue, optionally it might fuel the need for subscriptions. Whether it is PlayStation Plus or Nintendo Switch Online. I would advice to offer a setting that it is not required one day month, so that people can see what they gain, or they want to ease into this. A setting that a simple spy invoked (I swear it was the white one)

So ponder this setting and have a great day, optionally by playing a game you love.
