  • Never gonna sell my PS3 but this looks like it will be my next console. Will wait and see what the PS4 will be I suppose. Kinda wanna get another xbox though.

    Lebron James will never be as good as Michael Jordan, thus we should get rid of his nickname, "The King".

    Really all I want is a sequel to KOTOR. I want to know what happened with Revan.

    The online portion of the game really has no interest to me. I never stick with any game for an extended amount of time outside of Battlefield.

    Other than that I jump around to different games in different genres. I love them all.

    I can link you what happens to Revan if you have never read much on him? Not in super detail but still the second best thing unless you read every book about him.

  • Just finished AC:R. The wrap up of Ezio's and Altair's stories was great. Very interested to see where Desmond goes next and who the next main character is (if it's one of Desmond's ancestors or Desmond himself). I won't spoil anything, but I'm a little underwhelmed by the location found at the end of the game and really hope it only plays a small part in the sequel. Not as good of a locale as Constantinople, for example.

  • I do not think the PS4 will be released until atleast a year after the new xbox maybe longer just off the rumors I am hearing but I really have no clue. PS3 is just now picking up steam and doing really well. I have a hard time seeing Sony release a new system when they are just now starting to really make a lot of money on the current one. I would actually prefer if they waited and Microsoft and Sony would start releasing new consoles about half way through the competitions life cycle. It would make it easier to own both and it would seem like you are upgrading hardware at a better rate. If this happened you could upgrade hardware every 3 to 4 years besides every 6 to 8.

    Still need to play Revelations. I am waiting on it to drop in price. I have waited this long I can wait a little longer.

    I don't think it will be announced at this years E3 from what I have read. If that is the case I seriously doubt that it comes out in 2013.

    I think we are looking at 2013 for Microsoft and 2014 for Sony.

    There have also been rumors that one of the big 3 will stop making consoles. Out of all of the big 3 I could see Sony stop making consoles. They have a good stable of developers and could just become a publishing company.

    Nintendo isn't going anywhere because that is all they do. They don't have any other divisions like Sony and Microsoft.

    I love my playstation, but reducing the number of consoles from 3 to 2 could be both good and bad. Good: Less worry about porting from one system to another and more friends to play with instead of being across two consoles. Bad: decreased competition can lead to lower standards.

    I should add, that I find it very doubtful that would happen.

    I also doubt it happens but out of three you know it is not Nintendo because the Wii U is already announced and I can see it being Sony before Microsoft just because the 360 has been more successful as far as business goes than the PS3 even if the PS3 eventually sells more. I say that because before this generation Playstation brand was way ahead of the Xbox. I hope it is not true myself because I love both and want to see both and honestly I really doubt any will drop out because both are successful. Sony is having problems with Vita from what I hear though but hand held gaming has never interested me much just as motion controls and Kinect do not interest me.

  • I do not believe the rumors but from what I have read most of them come from Onlive company. It makes me wonder if they have not made a deal with one of the future consoles to have Onlive on xbla, psn, or whatever wii has.

    They might try and make a deal. I always figured that the consoles would try and come up with their own system similar ton Onlive but I could see them making this deal. I am interested to see what innovations these new consoles come up with.

    Casual gamers are killing the industry for us hardcore games. Most casuals only care about COD, motion control dance games, and downloadable games from our smart phones. I like some of those things as well but when the entire industry makes nothing but that and loses focus on the hardcore it starts to suck. With Kinect being so popular and rumors that Sony will do something similar to it I think hardcore gaming will eventually die out with just the franchises like COD, or Battlefield selling the same games with imitators following them. The PC may be the only thing that saves us from all of this.

    Hardcore games won't go anywhere but like you say PC might be our haven.

    Hopefully Microsoft gets their head out of their ass soon about Kinect. Nobody cares about that POS. Since they announced that thing their games library has been a joke. I have only bought a couple of Xbox games in the last couple of years because there just hasn't been anything that appeals to me.

    Even one of Microsoft's core franchises in Fable has been getting way to casual and from what I have read about the next Fable it is going to be worthless.

    From day one, Kinect was a lost cause on me. I can get behind motion controls with the right game, but I have to have something physical.

    They really don't interest me. Maybe in a full virtual reality simulator but short of that I can't get behind them

    I agree with almost everything you have said other than people do care about Kinect. The problem is it is not gamers it is the casual audience. The worst thing for us true gamers is the success of the casual IMO. People who want a Xbox 360 and Kinect so they can dance to Dance Central. I hate Kinect with passion and honestly I have jumped more towards being a Sony fan again because of it but as a business stand point it has been a success. I hate everything with motion controls. This years E3 will be one of the more interesting ones we have had. It will be interesting to see where Microsoft is heading with the new console. If the focus is on Kinect I am done with them. I just hope the rumors are not true with Sony building there version of Kinect with the PS4.

    The problem with supporting the casual fans is that they are casual fans. They come and go.

    Microsoft will learn this just as Nintendo has. There is a reason Nintendo is trending back towards the core audience.

  • I will not like motion controls until they can make it where I can virtually have sex with Kate Upton and send some kind of shock to my brain to make it feel real.

    That is pretty much what I was implying with my earlier post. That is a slippery slope though. If they come up with something like that we will have no reason for real women anymore. Also I would most likely never leave the house again.

    This is true but what is sad is the damn Wii has sold more than the 360 and PS3 combined I think. I hope Microsoft is holding back exclusives for the new Xbox which is also rumored but if they are Kinect exclusives I will be done with them. This generation has been crazy with the Wii really dominating up until the last two years. It started with 360 having all the exclusives and now PS3 has them all. If the PS4 will come out releasing games like it is now I will for sure buy one over the 360. The problem is the 360 had all the better games on release it will be interesting to see how this next generation plays out.
