Development costs are what stifle originality, not patents. When something comes along and sells millions of copies, everyone and their dog tries to copy, assuming it's a safe bet.

If more "hardcore" (read: BROKE-ASS) gamers would actually buy the fucking games instead of bitching about games costing $60 (really it should be closer to $100 when adjusted for inflation), developers might be keen on trying more new ideas.

It will be, and its going to cost AT LEAST $600.00 this time to buy in, and the graphical improvements will only be noticeable to the trained eye.

The arms race of selling hardware at a loss between Sony and Microsoft has to end at some point.

Have fun waiting until 2017 if that's as much as you're willing to spend. Sony and Microsoft can't afford to sell their next consoles at a loss the way they have been for the past decade.

Nintendo wisely attended to the non-traditional gamer market until the price of hardware came down to a point where they now stand to make immediate profits on the Wii U, and will showcase the most powerful home console for the next 3-4 years. That's how long it going to be u...

I WAS kidding until you slandered white people.

Congratulations on fostering more racism. Get a sense of humor, pal.

The comment, as seen in a screenshot, was: "have you heard the expression..lame as a ni**ers baby?"

Actually, I've never heard that phrase. EVER. And I've just about heard it all on Xbox LIVE. I'm totally using this now, though.

Question: how do you see a COMMENT in a SCREENSHOT? Was it typed or something?

Someone let me know once ND release actual gameplay footage, and not ANOTHER movie.

Nothing irks me more than seeing a potentially badass NEW I.P. and NOT having a damn clue what it will play like.

The more exclusives, the better. You getting Gravity Rush?

Not the kind of girl you would expect to be able to shoot a gun. Pretty cool, actually.

Game is still shit, though.

For the Wii U to win back traditional gamers, it needs developers to focus more on immersive 1P experiences and less on "party titles". Mario, Zelda, and Metroid will always sell, but they need a machine that's a snap to develop for, since its unlikely the Wii U will be the lead platform for 3rd party titles.

"It was reported to us that the next-gen console was on display by invite only during CES 2012, running a version of Battlefield 3 in next-gen visuals – most likely to be up on par with current high-spec gaming PC’s."

And people actually think this is going to launch with a price tag of $300 - $400??????

No. Half-Life is, and always will be, a franchise developed primarily for the PC. Maybe consoles will get a port.

So we're shooting dogs and butterflies? Man, I sure hope those Prometheans we're rumored to fight make up for this.

Who cares when it comes out? If you teens can't afford to buy more than one title every 6 months maybe you should find another hobby.

"When we announced the release date of BioShock Infinite in March, we felt pretty good about the timing, since then, we've come to realize that some specific tweaks and improvements will make Infinite into something even more extraordinary. Therefore, to give our talented team the time they need, we've decided to move the game's release to February 26, 2013."

Great; another stupid, unnecessary, tacked-on MP mode which people will play for about 5 days before going back to Call of Duty.

I am SICK of MP ruining the FPS genre.
