A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

The name "Hewson" carries a special weight for anyone who grew up during the golden age of British computing. As the son of Andrew Hewson—the man behind legendary publisher Hewson Consultants—Rob Hewson didn't just grow up playing video games; he learned to spell his name from their title screens. However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels. From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry. In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.
A lot has changed since those early designs, including some reductions in sensor size, and the complete removal of an on-board processing unit to reduce cost. However, the basic design behind the system remains the same.

The cutbacks that MS has made on the Kinect is not so awesome :(. Now it feels like I'm gonna waste my money if i buy Kinect at launch cause they will most likely release and upgraded version of Kinect later. It is still tempting to buy one though, but doing all these cutbacks isn't a good way to keep me interested.
I think Kinect is going to be a massive sucess. What people fail to recognise (ps3 fanboys) is that kinect is not for anyone who reads N4G. Its for your casual audience and considering how big the wii was this is going to be huge..
The Wii sales are starting to fade and I can see all that casual audeince really buying into this. The minute the advertising campaign starts it will give all those wii owners a new incentive to make an impulse buy...Saying that I can see the same thing that happened with the wii happen to kinect in that there wont be a high attach rate games wise..Who cares though as long as microsoft make a bundle from it which hopefully means more and more core games for us.
