What bothers me about these stupid pre-order bonuses is that they divide the online community on release.

It wouldn't be so bad if it was something like exclusive single player costumes and weapons/early unlocks (although it still would be stupid) that don't effect online.

Scamcom strikes again!

"Then they probably do more of those Ubisoft conferences where they show demos of their Wii-U games. You are saying in your comment below that they aren't showing any games so the hype is dying. That's what E3 is for."

That's not what i am saying. I'm saying we know nothing about a console that is supposed to release in 6-8 months time. That is killing hype.

I did read it. It's got nothing to do with used games. That's just an excuse. It's a damn money grab pure and simple.

If Rockstar can release DLC priced at £7.99 for GTA that added a 7 hour campaign to the game, and a 6 hour campaign for Red Dead at the same price, then where the hell do other developers get off charging the same amounts for an extra level? A single level?

As crap as Operation Raccoon City is, where do Capcom get off chargin...

He supports anti-used game systems.

I and many other gamers support the idea of NOT releasing games until they are ready and have been properly tested.

I and many other gamers want this DLC milking to stop, with all this locked on disc content crap.

Does the industry support our wants? Like hell do they! These anti-used supporters can screw themselves until they start supporting gamers better!

I hope they do change my tune. I really do. Saying that, it still doesn't change the current situation being a huge mess.

Nintendo created confusion upon announcing the WiiU. People thought it was just an add-on for Wii. That took weeks to clear up. Then, like i said, nothing.

Announcing at E3 will hurt them. It is not enough time for the mass market to budget/research into the console. We are not exactly in great economic times and people just don't...

"We're not going to ship it before it's done."

That makes a change for once.

I can't help but think Zelnick was right. I don't think THQ has long left.

It isn't just a case of people hating on Nintendo. They had everyone drooling when the WiiU was announced. Since then, Nothing. They are killing their own hype.

Think about it, why do they need to be so secretive about it now? It's not like MS and Sony can throw a new console into the market to beat the WiiU within 7 months. Why do we have numerous conflicting reports over it's power? Damage is being done to WiiU's reputation because Nintendo are sitting quiet...

Totally agree. At this moment, with a rumoured 7 months before release, we know next to nothing. We have no screenshots of games, no idea of the power of the console, no idea of the cost of it and no idea of any games (apart from Aliens and Darksiders 2) coming to it. If they really wait until June for E3, then it will hurt them.

The WiiU hype is dying. I was hyped up when Nintendo announced it, but at this point, i'm at the point where i just think, meh.

Can't believe you got a disagree.

Look at this list of Kinect games:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

It's 95% crap.

@Tai, Regarding the PS3, it had a design change as all that was far too expensive. Sony would have done it if they could.
The tech in Kinect is great, but the games suck. Great for families and parties though, but little else...

Off the top of my head, Peadophiles or at a guess, people with no friends.

It was great as a tech demo, but to try releasing it as a game was really pushing it.

Got to agree with KILLERAPP. The WiiU is beginning to look a mess at this point. We know nothing new since the unveiling which essentially told us nothing as well.

Nintendo should have been more prepared. At this rate, my preorder for WiiU will be made very late or not at all.

This came across as a peadophile recruiter more than that iOS game did lol! It was just too weird!

@koh08

You couldn't be more wrong about myself. I'm far from being a fanboy. The reason for my name is that it was Mario that got me into gaming. Nothing else. I have no ridiculous allegiances to any console manufacturer. People can enjoy Mario, Nathan Drake/Sackboy and Marcus Fenix without being an "obvious fanboy."

The first console I purchased this Gen was a 360 which i sold the moment the PS3 released. I then purchased a Wii before rebuy...

Going by the Scan that PSPteam linked to, there is about as much legitimacy to this story as there are to Unicorns!

It says in the first few lines "The shocking declaration was made by a member of staff at Gamestation." That's their source? REALLY?!

"Vitas are essentially PS3s in the palm of your hand" No they're not, lol!

The fact that the Rockstar Rep laughed at the claims says it all really. Sure, a GTA game wil...

Calm down Tai! I didn't even mention Haze or why Free Radical closed. Take a chill pill!

I was just saying, Free Radical closed, but they became Crytek UK. The majority of Free Radicals staff are under Crytek now. If LucasArts still wanted them to carry on development, they could have. Therefore, LucasArts are still to blame.

Don't forget Rogue Squadron!

Last i heard, Free Radical became Crytek UK. So, LucasArts is still to blame for no Battlefront 3.

Capcom were probably alot further into development than the Darksiders developers. So it would take longer than 2 weeks to port it. Then it would have to be bug tested and they would have to code the game to take advantage of the tablet screen.

Just because it took the Darksiders developers 2 weeks to port, doesn't mean it would take Capcom 2 weeks.

They aren't screwing over Nintendo Owners. The same thing happens with every new console release. Capc...

Nah. It's the same crap every time a new console is due for release. Once the Xbox 720 is announced, it will be doomed. Once the PS4 is released, it will be doomed.

The media love doom and gloom which is why these articles are written.
