Scams? Not really - a change prompted by recognizing market variability and needs isn't so much a scam as a company admitting and changing its business for the biggest profit. They're out for money, and making this free makes more people buy the game (outweighing those who might pay for a basic service that other games include at purchase).

I feel bad for the Elite members who have bought it for earlier games, but - to be fair - they did enjoy it for some time before ...

Well said. This new game is great news, though it might be next-generation - even so, I don't mind waiting.

C'mon man. Don't hate on a new IP from a respected company before you have a chance to see it. Half-Life 3 will come when Valve's ready to release it.

New developments from great companies are reasons to still get excited about the gaming industry, not to bemoan a game that hasn't been officially announced.

Wait - check out my local Blockbuster? You mean the vending machine at CVS?

Halo 4. I know there are so many others out there, but this one just looks like I'll be playing it for months.

To be honest, there are very few bad choices this Fall for gamers. We're lucky to play in such a great generation of games.

Agreed. Always enjoy different kind of tributes to great series.

The real question - shaken or stirred?

Wait. I'm confused - who's going to watch him? He is like Dane Cook right?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

It's too forward thinking. I'm thinking all of my above suggestions need a number so that everyone knows which version I'm buying.

Because the fact that it's new isn't enough.

Mind blown.

Suggestions for the new console:

Xbox 2x.
Xbox 520 - the middle years
Xbox x Xbox = Xbox squared
Future Xbox
Xbox Now
N4GBox

Guys can't be sexually assaulted?

That's a very limited definition of assault, and might actually be more damaging than helpful. By labeling women as only being capable of being assaulted, it seemingly makes women appear less than men (as if they're weaker) and ignores acts of assault of men against men.

But I definitely agree he should be banned from future events. Acting like that promotes nothing but negative press for our industry, and it real...

A microphone between breasts isn't traditionally the kind of "sticking" constituted as assault.

It's inappropriate and completely disrespectful of the women. Yes. But he should be removed from the grounds, not charged with assault. If he repeats it, it's a violation of privacy and public misbehavior; however, still not assault.

Well, the advertising certainly is correct - "Don't Select, Don't Click and Don't Share" Resident Evil 6.

Capcom is making this too easy.

Does the trailer name refer to RE6's chances of scoring favorably with critics?

If so - best trailer ever.

I think the quote might be taken out of context - the GOP says "so much time." It's important to see that they're not attacking gamers, but spending too much time in something to the point that you disconnect with *reality.*

Very few things in excess are good for you, and the advertisement - while far too personal an attack on the congresswoman - isn't an attack on gaming culture in general.

Still a terrible disappointment about 38 Studios and Schilling. Really enjoyed that game.

I hope they all have been hired elsewhere by now.

"Moved on to Dark Souls."

Great decision. Still the best game I've played in the past two years.
