And gamers to a 360 or ps3.
Damn them with their massive choice for devs and gamers alike.
I really hope the that Sony/MS don't copy this.Nintendo have made the worse console by far this gen(Wii) and the worse games machine I've ever owned(since Spectrum 48k).
This looks like a stupid,gimmick controller that will again add novelty at the cost of decent controls.
I'm more bothered by the authors claim of playing "many GREAT Kinect games at E3".
Really?Or does he mean a handful of semi playable gimmicks?
They all look like crap to me unless you are under 10.
How about you try playing before feeling it's a little poo?
It's not,by the way.
Why on earth would you want to look away from a game to check your HUD?
That is stupid.
Touchscreen only devices are crap as primary gaming devices.
My smartphone is making me want a PSVita more.I've started my phone for games a bit more and it's not great at all.Now I'm finding time to play,I want a proper gaming device.The success of tablets suggest there may be room for Vita.If people will carry something that limited and huge,then why not Vita.
The analogue sticks are the most important primary control system.Touchscreens are not good enough.
Have you used a 3DS Circlepad?It's better than PSP 1 but nowhere near as good as a stick.
I think it's more of a problem that Nintendo get an easy ride.After the poor Wii,I thought there would be more doubts.
Funny.I've never had anyone I know(techy lot)plug a mobile phone or handheld games console(or iPod Touch)into a TV.
Games will look a lot worse on a TV and they will compete with their own home device.
Who buys a handheld to plug it in the TV?
Can 3DS do it?(god,that would look ugly)
Fishy Fingers has a cool?What is a cool.Did you mis type fool(mousse).
On topic.
Who wants to plug a low res machine into a TV when it has a fantastic 5 inch OLED(TVs of the future).
Why does anyone need internal memory?
Memory is available and will be right there when you need it.
Game cards have room for saves and DLC etc on them as well.
Infamous 2 was 86 yesterday.Edge are a long established,respected magazine.
I subscribed for years.What stopped me?
Their anti PS3 agenda.
Difference is Sony have 23 devs making games.David Cage,Sony London,Sony Santa Monica game at Gamescom?
MS have 7 and have announced Forza,Fable and Halo 4 with Rare and ??left.
4 games over 2 years?When do you think Halo 4 is out?late next year I'd guess.
With that pad and more power expect lots of cost.
Nintendo are annoying because they go for gimmick over quality and their machine will be outdated by far 2 years from now(a year after launch).
You CAN play normal games on that pad but would you WANT to?
Only one will work with each machine and it won't be sold without console.
No mention of the fact there were no games for the new machine or the fact that all the same noises of potential,innovation and endless possibilities were stated when Wii was first scene.
6 months later most core gamers disliked it(the worst games machine I've ever owned).
How about the fact that a whole evening on an FPS with that pad looks like it will fall well short of the Dualshock/360 pad experience or that new is not always best,sometimes tools fin...
I'm not sure if it's true or not but in my eyes it is wrong.Touchscreen smartphones are shit for games and yes I do have one.
Tablets are bollocks as well.
One of the last bastions of 360 hardcore is looking good.
It looks horrible to me.Gimmick again.I bought a Wii(for my wife and children mainly)and it is a piece of crap.
Selling to a non gamer public successfully does not make it any better either.
