What I mean is if graphics were one of the requirements for this new xna system and you didn't as a rule put graphics in, would you then have to put graphics etc. Apart from the experimental games, the only hybrids I know of are silent steel, where audio indexes and video index run different sections of a video, last crusade, and mudsplat. There is terrorformas but It started out having issues and things. Its not as good as the other hybrids, then there is the blind eye which is ok I guess. Its just that the first couple hybrids did not go so well and I wander if we are ready for this kind of upgrade.
