"What do you want from your gaming next? What do you need in your new gear? How should game or gear developers meet your newest demands for amazing experiences?"

I want speed for gaming purposes. My I need a new video card, system board and cpu in my new gear. Game developers need to take advantage of new gear coming out to encourage more people to use the new technology.

What do you want from your gaming next?

Always more videocard performance, raytracing seems like a great step forward.

What do you need in your new gear? Honestly some cool new interesting case designs or interesting new aesthitcs something interesting for your pc.

I would like a fast affordable video card that can handle 4K gaming and video games that don't completely rely on being connected to the internet to work. Video games are becoming huge, so having a large storage media is a must. SSDs are becoming larger, but can't keep pace with the speed that video games are increasing in size. Ray Tracing will only make games larger because you have to code the games normally and then add the code for Ray Tracing, because you can't rely on gamers having Ray Tracing capable video cards.

I need reliability more than anything. nothing can afford to fail and take the rest of the chain of command with it. I would rather have lower failure rate than higher spec at the same price point for just about every part there is! Hard drives are at the top of this list!

What do you want from your gaming next?
More focus on gameplay and story instead of "Live services". Unique experiences instead of chasing the current "biggest thing". Things like Fortnite/Battle Royale is the "big thing" right now. Blaze new ground instead of tread on well-beaten paths.
What do you need in your new gear?
A lot of things. More performance, RAM, SSD storage, and VRAM. Doesn't everyone? ;) To be specific: CPU and GPU performance more than everything else.
How should game or gear developers meet your newest demands for amazing experiences?
Learn and use Vulkan and start learning to program for Linux. Stop using DirectX and Windows. Learn how to utilize multiple threads and render devices to abuse these many-core systems. Start designing and implementing tech into game engines that utilize system resources more efficiently. Learn how to separate tasks so that they can run semi-independently (Asynchronous) or have tasks broken into batches that can run independently. I want to see a Threadripper's vast number of cores actually provide benefit over far fewer cores with higher IPC.

What do you want from your gaming next?
More single player

What do you need in your new gear?
Ryzen 2xxx or 3xxx, or i9 something platform.

How should game or gear developers meet your newest demands for amazing experiences?
More/better storyline.
 
What do you want from your gaming next?
Like many on here, I want to see more single player games. Multi player is great and all but sometimes the creative team focuses more on multiplayer than a good (or even complete) storyline.

What do you need in your new gear?
Cheaper prices on GPUs. Thankfully storage prices have dropped but jumping to the next gen GPU is looking like it may involve selling a kidney.

How should game or gear developers meet your newest demands for amazing experiences?
As said before, better story lines in games over the insensate need for DLC. DLC is an understandable component of games these days but it should be a continuation of a good story, not how the developers fix a story (or game itself).
 
What do I want next?
A fundamental shift in software development that fully leverages existing hardware.

What do I need in new gear?
I don't need anything, but certainly will want whatever provides a fundamental gain rather than single digit performance improvements.

How should developers meet demands for new amazing experiences?
The question answers itself. Develop new amazing experiences. If however you're going to rehash old ideas and do the same thing over again, do it much, much better.

I work with large HD media files (recorded TV files etc) and could really use the 14 GB's of space. Does space speed-up frame rates in gaming?

What do you want from your gaming next?
More single player games or games that offer grouping without the need for PVP.

What do you need in your new gear?
Ryzen 2xxx or 3xxx, or i9 something platform.
32G of ram because I also edit pics & videos

How should game or gear developers meet your newest demands for amazing experiences?
Massively complex storylines with plot twists, back stabbings, shocking revelations....
 
What do you want from your gaming next?
I want more single-player that is thoroughly immersive, and maintains the full environment and the AI locally, so always-online is not required. Think whatever your favorite genre is, expressed as a simulation.

What do you need in your new gear?
I would expect that what I most want (see above) would require a decent amount of storage for all the universe elements, and processing capacity to handle the AI of every actor in the game, again locally, whether this requires additional cores, or additional GPGPU capacity does not matter; I'll get what's needed.

How should game or gear developers meet your newest demands for amazing experiences?
Take their time. Develop an open-world that is sufficiently expansive, adaptive, and robust that players with entirely different styles can enjoy the game, even to the point that their respective descriptions might make onlookers think they are describing entirely different games.

I play older games so don't need these bleeding edge high performance gaming gear. But, now that i am exiting my gaming phase (kicking and screaming the whole way), i need my rig to be able to transition to family stuff. Gone are the need for high frame rates, now i need high reliability, i need security. I need to know my files and information are safe and secure, as kids pictures and the like pile up.
