I was thinking the same thing to be honest.

People who have played the original know that Crackdown relies heaviliy on verticality. The agility orb concept simply wouldn't work without buildings to climb.

"We should not try going beyond what local technology is capable of doing."

I take it you only play games locally.

This is a feature specific to the online multiplayer component of this game. Somehow people freak out about the internet connection required for the physics, yet seem to forget that you need internet to play multiplayer with or without this feature.

Cloud compute cannot work without an online connection. It's a simple fact. That's the whole point of the word cloud. There is absolutely no way to provide that tech without an internet connection.

After reading your post I feel like you'd be happier if cloud compute simply didn't exist.

I for one would rather live in a world where technological advancements occur regardless of whether or not 100% of the population wil...

The destruction has to be limited in some way or another in single player or the game would be a broken mess.

How exactly would you be able to climb to the top of a skyscraper to reach that agility orb if you just leveled the building?

How about fighting your way to the top of a building filled with enemies, except you just destroyed the builiding instead.

Multiplayer works because you just drop in and kill each other, no holds barred. Reset...

I really wish I had the opportunity to experience the Vault of Glass with a group of noobs the first time I went through.

A buddy and I ran through it our first time with an experienced group that wasn't extremely pleased with our ignorance. Having no idea what's going on while being dragged along by an irritated group of guys left a really bad taste in my mouth for Destiny raids.

There was no sense of discovery or exploration whatsoever because every...

I'm right back in now. I complained about a lot of things but the truth is the leveling system is what drove me away from Destiny. I'm a sucker for farming, but I've always hated games that give zero experience for kills. I'll play all day every day as long as I can see a little progress from my kills. Finally farming resources will be more exciting than simply running from point to point avoiding enemies because they offer nothing of value.

It may be just as ...

Console gaming has changed a ton since the PS3 and 360 launched. Console gamers now have large digital libraries of games attached to online profiles. You don't need to have a pile of discs from the previous generation laying around to access your old games.

Anyone with a Steam library recognizes how important it is to have access to your digital library regardless of the hardware you're using.

Lumens is a rating of the amount of light being produced by the light source. Lamp based light sources are extremely inefficient, which is why these projectors have to produce massive Lumens ratings to function.

Lasers focus all of their energy on a specific point, thus being far more efficient in projecting light than a lamp. Since the light is extremely focused, and not bouncing all over the room, far less light is required to project a comparably bright image.

Console fanboys make up a tiny % of the gaming community. Sure they may be vocal, but if you think the "console war" is why people didn't buy a WiiU I'm afraid you're sorely mistaken.

Edit:
To your point about "soldiers in the fanboy war," I've been quite outspoken against Nintendo over the past few years. I could easily be labeled a Nintendo hater in this "console war." And yet I have purchased a WiiU recently, along with...

So you want the entire collection included with the purchase of Uncharted 4, just like Microsoft is including the entire collection with the purchase of Gears 4?

Oh, wait a minute, Microsoft isn't offering anything with the purchase of Gears 4 aside from Gears 4. So yes, Naughty Dog should follow suit. You buy Uncharted 4, you get Uncharted 4.

I don't recall any mention of Microsoft giving away any games as a bonus for buying Gears 4. Why should anyone in their right mind compare the Gears 1 remake to the completely brand new Uncharted 4?

I'm sorry but this concept seems a bit disconnected from logic.

I'm expecting a standard offline campaign, without the 100% destructibility.

When the destruction is mentioned in the trailer it is specifically linked in the same breath with the word multiplayer. This would of course require you to be online.

Allowing 100% destruction in an offline single player campaign would be game breaking. There will most likely be an element of destructability in the single player campaign, but not 100%.

That'...

It's really sad that people think beefier hardware = pretty graphics.

The hardware inferiority of the WiiU impacts far more than "teh grafix." Even if that were the case the WiiU can't handle simple anti-aliasing. The jaggies are all over the place on WiiU games.

The WiiU can't handle games like the Witcher, for instance, not just because of all the pretty colors and fancy lighting but because of those things combined with a massive open...

Yes. You'll have access to anything you've purchased as the purchases are attached to your Xbox Live account.

Why would you need a license transfer? Your purchases are tied to your Xbox Live account, not the console.

I've really enjoyed the exclusives so far this gen. On all systems actually. Of course that's just my opinion.
