The gaming industry has come an awful long way since the plinky plonk days of old, thundering into the HD-demanding resolutions of modern times with a pace that isn't slowing down any time soon. That said, there are a handful of consumer demands that don't fall under the banner of "Just make it shinier this time." Where franchises like Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty have sequelised themselves into an early grave - adhering to the nonsensical demand that every subsequent instalment must continually be a completely different beast than the last - there are only a handful of developers out there actually listening to things we gamers genuinely want and need. That's going to sound vague, but you'll get a handle on what this article's all about soon enough. Like being able to retrieve your arrows after firing, marvelling at a suitably gorgeous wet pavement or realising mirrors have working reflections, there are a bevy of tiny things that only come to mind when you're totally immersed in your favourite titles. As such, these are the most essential additions to the titles of the future that literally every single game would benefit from.

No, we don't want to go back to the main menu and re-enter the search parameters, we just wanna get back out there. It's murder going from being in the middle of any high-octane skirmish, only to have to sit through another lobby/search option combo. Call of Duty has so far perfected this process, it would take Rocket League months to apply the function post-release, and Halo 5 still insists on kicking you back to the main menu if you want to alter anything about the match you've just ended. Make post-match lobbies the optional part, and include a simple prompt that let's you know the next match is loading almost immediately - after all, we're not there to trade post-match tips for longer than a few seconds anyway.
