It’s way early to be talking about a PlayStation 4 wish list. Which is the best reason to do just that. Right here, right now. before someone else does it.

Now, I’m not talking about just raw stats. I’m talking about, “what would I like to see from PS4 games, in concept, that probably won’t be possible on a PS3?”

So put on your Wiley X shades and get ready:

1) The end of collision detection problems: Every generation, this is promised as part of the power of each new generation of hardware. And every generation, we still have sports titles that have running backs literally walking through guards after a play, during a post-play cut-scene. We still have characters getting caught in obscure areas programmers never quite made safe for adventurous, “explore every nook and cranny” gamers to roam around in. Every generation, we have too many look-alike character models roaming around while their arms pass through each other instead of bumping into one another. And there’s always some poor schmuck whose AI was so poor that you run into this NPC trying to walk, walk, walk forward through a wall that, sure, won’t let him pass, but doesn’t self-correct his path, ever… he just keeps trying to forever walk through that wall that’s never going to give.

That’s one of the first things that has to go. I’ll have more coming!
