There's a compatibility platform available now from the same people who released ScummVM if you can't wait. Not only is it fully playable on modern machines, but they fixed hundreds of bugs as well, some of them game breaking (and they happened all too often as well).
Yeah, that didn't happen. I have the chat logs of his pitch if that would make you feel better?
An appearance in Kingdom Hearts 3, perhaps?
Neither of those things are totally untrue though. You just have to remember 3.
3. Pretty girls are people with interests, hobbies and opinions of their own.
Games sell well, but that's because of insane attach rate. The people who buy Nintendo consoles also don't hesitate in buying Nintendo games, generally.
The problem is the number of those Nintendo fans that buy everything blindly is continuously dropping. Attach rates will stay strong, but sales won't necessarily pick up long term.
"Good thing the Wii U has more than one really good game."
Nobody said it didn't. What exactly was your point here?
We're talking whether a single game can save a console. Every game so far on Wii U has failed to turn around the poor sales. If anything, you're agreeing with me, surely?
"I thought Metal Gear Solid IV was a significant title in the PS3's less flourished days"
It was a huge ti...
You say that like it's self-explanatory, but actually the last 10 or so years have proven exactly the opposite.
No single console managed to cope off the back of one game last-gen. There was a lot of talk about "the game that'll make the PS3," but it never came. Instead, we got a series of increasingly quality exclusives that were regular enough to warrant buying third party titles on that system.
In that respect, Adam, the writer, is 100% ...

It's not justified. That's exactly what I put in my above comment, and in the linked article. It needed to be, and it wasn't, and instead of fixing that Microsoft have decided just to not make it part of their main sales pitch.
I'm glad we agree. Now what were you saying about idiots?
@darthv72
There's a big difference between 100% of the market supporting a peripheral and 50%. As prices on SKUs begin to differ, the chances of even 50% of Xbox One owners having a camera is going to be pretty damn slim.
It's pretty obvious that the incentive to put time and effort into supporting something drops pretty rapidly the fewer people own that device. There will still be Kinect games of course, but as the market for them shrinks, you're...
Since when is internet reaction of people with no direct interest in a product reason to alter that product?
Microsoft should have been able to power through the negative comments to show why Kinect was justified. They couldn't, they didn't. Either there's a fundamental problem with the Kinect itself (beyond "I hate motion gaming") or Microsoft just didn't know how to support it. Either way, it's not acceptable and not at all living up to the pot...
They've definitely lost confidence in the importance of Kinect, if not the device itself. By taking it out of the basic SKU, they're saying "You know, it wasn't as integral to the experience as we originally made out."
And that's great, except that instead of relegating the peripheral to something that's optional seven months after release, they should have driven software that utilized Kinect to prove why it deserved to be part of the pack in th...
We all play video games, we should all love great examples of the medium regardless of platform, age or genre.
Anyone who says differently is doing it wrong.

Why do it in the first place? Chances are that the reasons for doing it with the originals still stand up with the remake.
It'd be nice to get the ultimate version, but that's something different entirely.
It's so they can carry of the series of tradition of selling two sets of the same game with only minor differences. Remaking the 'ultimate' version wouldn't allow them to do that.
Might be a connection issue on your part. I had awesome framerate and the controls were perfect too.
That's why I'm almost certain it'll be a timed exclusive. It's a bit out of nowhere, for sure.
The fix doesn't actually fix this issue. It fixes the loophole that allows it. If somebody had already taken advantage of the problem, the fix will do nothing to change the situation.
Which is why it's such a big deal. If it was a case of updating and getting on with your life, it wouldn't have bothered anybody.
And that has what to do with the Oxford University study this article is based upon?
In all fairness, that was more to do with the fact that Kaz had dozens of lines of intelligence and Snake had one or two reactions, a couple of one syllable names and a set of grunts.
Wait till The Phantom Pain, that's when we'll really be able to tell.
Why is it the right platform, as opposed to the more obvious 3DS?
