Do you hate when a friend comes over, plays a game and saves over your more advanced save file, wiping out all that progress? Sure you do! Those little bytes represent hours of your leisure time and effort, and to have it wiped out so casually is not in your best interest. You say you have multiple saves? But what if the save that got wiped out was at a point you had interest in replaying for a different experience?
Now I've gotten your attention. And I present to you... passworded save slots.
Yes, the new and impr... well, just new for now, passworded save slots. Imagine having regular save slots, and set aside from them are a row of passworded save slots. They both work the same and can be deleted from the memory manager the same way, but ingame, with the passworded slots, you'd have to put in a short string of button presses that you choose. Input it once, then again for confirmation, then you can delete or overwrite that save as you wish. Otherwise you would be denied access and told to use a regular save slot or choose a new passworded save slot for use.
Now I'm sure that this has been done before, but damn if I've seen it yet, so I put it out to you, the developers of the games we love so much. Give them to us. Give us an added layer of protection. The ghosts of my perfect Ratchet and Clank files beg of you.
Or I could have used the really awesome hard drive to make a backup of said files, but I forgot that feature. And that is no excuse. Drat.
