5 Recent Game Mechanics That Developers Should Take Advantage Of

GamerFitNation: Video games are constantly reaching new heights. One thing that is imperative to a game is its gameplay mechanics and game design. It only takes one really well executed game mechanic to leak its influence onto games in the future. Here is my list of certain game mechanics that I feel have stood out in recent games, and should be carried out in others in the future.

Nothing listed here was new. I assume you just started gaming recently? Probably not a good idea to put out articles if you are new.

", I picked the biggest accomplishment that shined for me throughout the entire game—the Artificial Intelligence (AI) of Elizabeth."

Ridiculous , Elizabeth and the game are awesome , but she works precisely because she isnt an AI companion , she's some ghost that can't be touched by the world and foes , and use some scripted triggers to find you ammo and "potions" . That's all , she is no AI new feat nor awesome in that aspect .

However we can praise the ingenuity of the team for finally realizing that such simple tricks makes for a much more bearable companion than the fully dynamic or IA scripted ones

"And lastly, famous Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling helped to create the action-RPG’s setting. What’s really fascinating, though, is that the game was partially financed by taxpayers from Rhode Island (which allegedly lost the state millions of dollars). Yikes!"

1. Now infamous Schilling
2. No allegedly, it did. And they couldn't pay it back.
3. What really lost the money wasn't the SP release but the MMO they were working on. This was supposed to be an introduction into the MMO world.

I hate counting limited editions for these lists. I mean, they're made to be rare and expensive. It's far more interesting to hear about the NCAAs (even if most people know that one already) and the El Chavos than some massive hit that came with a $200 statue at retail.

Me too. Here's the best I can do:

El Chavo Kart $90.14
NCAA Football 14 $87.72
Spiderman: Edge of Time $75.94
Spiderman Web of Shadows $75.09
Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions $67.76

Wow, El Chavo Kart is not at all what I expected by the name. 100% looks like a Sackboy Kart game.

It's so odd that so many Spider-Man games are seemingly given lower print runs, even if they're not the best games.

Most Xbox games don’t hold as much value compared to other systems. Kameo, Blue Dragon, Last Remnant , and a handful or 2 of other games that I kept.

Fallout 3 and Bioshock Infinite are the rarest games of all time.

8 Best Games Set In A Multiverse

One of the biggest TV and movie tropes in the last decade has been the multiverse, the idea of exploring multiple dimensions to uncover alternate versions of existing ideas. From both a business and creative perspective, it makes sense why established franchises are shaking things up in this way.

However, there aren't many video games latching on to this trend, as rendering multiple worlds in real-time is a difficult feat and the medium is relatively young in comparison to its contemporaries, making crossover opportunities more difficult. Still, there are a few great titles that manage enough to overcome these challenges, and here are some of the best examples.

While I love someone mentioning Planescape, not really multiverse. Planes and dimensions, yes. But, they are typically their own locations and are very rarely tied to another 'verse' let alone another plane. The only things that are directly tied are the ethereal and material planes. Otherwise, they are dimensions created of their own design and goals by the creator/owner and not comprised of 'their own version of another dimension'.
