U don't need to catch up but u need to make sure that those who love Nintendo and buy the wiiu do not go buy another system. This means having Netflix, Facebook, and all the essentials. A browser would be great. If u do this, the casual gamer won't look elsewhere. Hardcore gamers are already invested in pan and xbl. U won't be moving them.

Also, u can focus on connecting all Nintendo players, ds, 3ds, wii and wiiu. Nintendo has a lot of options with their core gam...

I hope its ready soon because it must go gold in a few weeks. It looks great though. I am a huge fan of rpgs so its a welcome addition. It was regarded as a mix of Zelda and GoW. Let's throw in PoP & the ice theme harkens back to Zelda and how u got fire weapons for ice castles and vice versa. But I can't wait. There's a reason Zelda, GoW, & PoP are classics. Bring it on!!!!

Can all these companies just hold off on games like beyond, watch dogs etc. I game a lot and I own an Xbox and ps3 but no PC. I have debated getting one but I am waiting for next Gen specs to be announced because if I have a choice I would choose console because of all the friends I have and the stats I've accrued but I am getting tired of seeing the gap between the two. I am happy for PC gamers and I am content with what I am playing now but its gonna get ridiculous soon.

Me either. And why doesn't Microsoft just pay up like everyone else. I can't imagine a ban is a possibility. Or appeal and stretch it out 5 years until the 360 is obsolete. But yeah profits are good for everyone.

Please do not release on this Gen. Especially if the PC version is gonna b light years ahead. It looks so amazing and the idea of it being a sand box game is stunning. Yeah I want it as soon as possible but I want it as good as possible too. I'm probably wrong but let's hold off. We have plenty to play right now.

That is exactly what DICE said and I agree. The battlefield 3 campaign was generic and I was hoping more for the brilliant sandbox esque play style of bad company. Oh well. Here's to hoping they do something original...esque, lol.

It isn't fine that they are riding it out. Its fine in the sense that it eases my fear that they are abondoning great first party IPs like halo and gears used to be. But maybe they were always only about that. Yes, they will need 1 or 2 great IPs like this to go forward and it isn't easy to do. My guess though is that their business model has changed. The focus is no longer on strong Microsoft titles but 3rd party dominance and making the Xbox an entertainment machine that everyone ca...

I won't either for the following reasons...dishonored, AC3, AC Liberation, Darksiders 2, Borderlands 2, Max Payne 3 (haven't got yet cuz of dragons dogma which is awesome), Sky rim Dawn guard, Batman arkham City (c previous parenthesis and substitute sky rim and every RPG this year so far), Tomb Raider, Resident Evil 6, The Last of Us, Metro Last Light, and on and on. Even Halo 4 looks pretty good. I would love to get to BO2 & Medal of Honor but the short campaign and monotonous m...

Am I the only one who realizes that none of this is new. We knew about strike force and that it would b different depending on whether we win or lose. We knew about going into any soldier or equipment or pulling back for strategy and we knew about zombies. Here's more new info. The zombies is gonna be bigger and better and part of multi player screen. Also, muliplayer may be changing its system to points so you can have more customization and focus on choosing what u want.

Battlefield is on the heels of CoD and I can't wait for 4 on next Gen. Now, if this game is marketed well to all those that can't get enough of battlefield, it can be the treyarch to DICE for EA. They have to b careful that they don't compete with themselves. Maybe offer an early demo or perks for battlefield premium members. I hope they don't simply settle for the generic fps player as a filler. Its a great franchise and a great testing ground for what EA wants as they tackle...

There will be a long beta test I hope. As far as visuals, it did look more cartoon than I imagined. If it is coming along more to look like sky rim, I wonder if kits will b available and modding encouraged. Imagine an memo that looks like skyrim at high settings with many of the wonderful mods. It could be simply astonishing.

I guess its money. Much more can be done but the risks for recouping money are much higher. And u can't simply spend less because there will be a bar that must be met etc. I see many more indie games and mobile games and AAA titles with less fluff in the middle. Now, it will cost a fortune to make a stupid movie tie in.

That being said, I just read GIs article on UE4. This new engine is supposed to do in a week what took months with less people. And while the licensing w...

Yeah, I guess these guys had to find a way to show Microsoft's presser in a new light. This is how they did it. If Sony came out and showed 5 new awesome games and then walked off stage, I could care less how long it lasted. We don't wait all year for E3 to see whose production value is greatest or how many celebrities show. Microsoft showed its scary direction with halo, gears, splinter cell & 3 multi platform games in BO2, Tomb Raider and RE6. It could a been a presser from 200...

It is the lay of the land now to create a simple interactive experience, in which u have superficial choice and as easy a route as possible. Now, I dont know if this is true with hitman but it wouldn't surprise me at all. Gone are the days of exploring and searching for the answer, of making mistakes and trying again. Its good that games like dark souls and dragons dogma exist. They may not b perfect but their first priority is game play and the satisfaction gained from accomplishment. I ...

Yeah, its not over yet. Considering the late start, the high price point, the lack of halo and gears, the problems Japan and Sony have suffered, it is pretty remarkable and a testament to quality that the ps3 is so strong. I think the biggest mistake they made was in memory. And if there wasn't a surge in PC gaming, I believe that ps3 would win this Gen. Honestly, Nintendo has fallen off dramatically so that must be taken into account. If u look at where all 3 stand right now, its clear ...

I have not had so much fun with an RPG in so long. It makes the long hours at work fly by so I can get home and play. It harkens back to the old school template of getting stronger so u can fight bigger monsters. That, and as he said, every quest is a journey unto itself. Great game.

5131d ago 2 agree0 disagreeView comment

Yeah, that is definitely next Gen. I know these are running on PC just like unreal engine 4 but there r plenty of games to close out this Gen. Please do not try and put these games on this Gen with a huge difference between PC and console. Even on PC, u would have to run high settings to get the best benefit. Just wait and launch with them.

This is one of 3 games I am looking most forward to. I used to pre order everything until sky rim, kingdoms, ME3, the witcher 2 & dragons dogma have me buried. I want to pre order this. But do I have to decide how I wanna play before and choose accordingly. I don't like it unless its all offered eventually.

It is very true though recently I have had to take a step back. No more hours of nonsense, chasing down an elusive trophy. I had to choose between trophy/achievement or missing out on great games.

That being said, I love having them there as an extension to the game. For example, FF13 was linear until u beat it. Then it opened up and was a lot of fun. But if there were no trophies, there would a been no outline to continue, no reason to keep playing. It would be weird to play...

I agree. At first I thought that maybe it would be a great idea and then I thought of all the reasons why I wasn't having as much fun in other rpgs. This is one of them. Now, what they could do is add a creature to ride, though I don't know how hard this would be. Or, my personal favorite, just mix up the enemies and the encounters so its new and fresh.

I am loving this game more than I ever thought I would. One of the best times I had was accepting an escort quest ea...
