GDT 2 ideas: New Game Mode and develop Handheld systems

So I just had this amazing idea for the next GDT: a different mode where you start has a console developer or maybe even a PC maker. Think about it would it be so cool to beat GDT 2 for the first time and then you get the option to play as a small console developer and get the chance to shape the outcome of the console wars?
Another thing I just thought of is what if you could make a portable system in the hardware facility plus the normal console?
Just some thoughts let me know what you think!

I saw that idea already, but I love it.

I challenge you to explain what would be the goal of the game or how it would be played to be a console developper? :smile:

The goal is same as when with making games, but not with ‘Game’ But "console’.
Just make best selling console, and have better launch that all Playsystems at once.

The problem with that idea is that one single company never releases more than 2 console at a time and mainly does a lot of research and implementation tests, prototypes… The game is then completly different…

And by two consoles at a time, i mean, it usually releases max one handheld console and one living room console, max! Unless you can find me good examples of it.

Add to that the fact that consoles are released on a 4-5 year cycle, the game would be pretty long and tedious!

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, thats true, but There arent so many prototypes maybe like 2.
There are more designs.

What i’d suggest is instead to have the possibility to get a hardware, research and marketing lab and more employees in all possible departments and from the start…

You want to be a publisher and work on the marketing aspect, get only a marketing department at the beginning! Same thing for all other stuff!

Well, there is Nintendo, they are selling the Wii U, AND the 3DS, 3DS XL and the 2DS :wink:

The DS, wathever the flavor is a DS…
