Gaming is more social now and playing through games like Serious Sam with friends is a genuine pleasure. They will have realised by now...surely?

You have all the textures, sounds, enemies etc so give 5 people 3 months of dev time to map out a shoot everything that moves wave based co-op romp for a giggle. In fact thats a fucking brilliant idea. Why am I not employed in the games industry?

I'd look into it if I had the time, skills and inclination to do so. I bet it would be “easy” to create an arena based affair that would destroy modern machines though. Rocket Arena style map with waves of spawning enemies... Rocket Arena maps don’t take long to build. The main thing would be the enemy waves and how you factored that into a game experience.
