Re: World of Vidya, what should it be?
copypasting my general idea:
I think that we should first emphasize on the concept of each of the major "Areas" (consoles and PCs)
I find that the PC's should be a land where order is almost unheard of, excluding, of course, the Steam railway (that just opened it's first station at PlayStation 3), but it should be a place of good intentions, the people there work for themselves, and only until recently they have been receiving the imported material from consoles, much like what happened in the Americas with European imported goods.

Re: World of Vidya, what should it be?
Seaguy`s idea from yesterday:
At the eve of the world, The Gods made the vidya, and gave it to man, who were in the need of such glory. Man, in all it's greed, saw the power that the vidya had, and began to exploit it, reproducing them and selling them to all. The old wizard Atari,seeing that created the Continent of Consoles, and moved the people there. But Atari fell under the influences of the Ancientest of All Evils, the one that created the beast we now know as EA. In his corrupted state, Atari burned his own kingdom, along with himself and all the vidya that one could imagine. Those that wanted to survive moved to the new-found continent of PC, and began to prosper there.Centuries passed as we came through the age known only as The Crash, which to many appeared to be the end of the world. and now, when the world needed a hero, he was given Nintendo, the youth from a far away land that brought order and civilization to the real of Consoles. time passed and Realms of PCs (who never had a crash, perhaps until now) and Consoles united, and so, we saw 4 generations of glory, perhaps marked by petty wars, but still great in the amount of vidya that the land saw. But now, the ancient evil has awakened once more, bringing forth his newest champion, EA. Who will save the world this time, now that Nintendo is old? who can save the PCs, who are no longer safe from the machinations of Evil? Only time will tell...
He had another idea, and has already posted it I see.

Re: World of Vidya, what should it be?
Some vidya concepts / ideas that you should keep in mind when making the world,
it might be cluttered to include them all so this is just a brainstorm.
4 continents: PC, Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft - with cities named after each console
Each city has sterotypes according the console:
PS3 has noNPCs
360 constantly catching on fire or something?
etc
Steam and Origin at war (civil war?) on the PC continent
Consoles at war with eachother (somehow holding the PC nation back?)
Islands off the main continents for handhelds.
I know you mentioned this earlier but im for the idea of a ruins of sega or dreamcast.

Re: World of Vidya, what should it be?
Consoles could be holding the PC continent back by sudden mass immigration and cultures colliding or something.
Re: World of Vidya, what should it be?
I think there also might be a need for sort of an archipelago of islands that represent arcade games. It could be well known as a place that attracts not only tourism, but heavy gambling as well. Since Midway is going to be referenced in this game, we'd need an island that forms the ruins of Midway's work.

Re: World of Vidya, what should it be?
The arcade islands could be mostly in ruins except for a small few near both the nintendo and sony kingdoms, referencing how they're still alive and well in japan.
Re: World of Vidya, what should it be?
Don't forget about Namco's islands, though.
