I think this is why we are mostly flooded with sequels and things like that instead of new IP's. The fact is that new IP's don't do as well as existing franchises now.

Look at BulletStorm 2 getting canned, that was an interesting new IP in my opinion, but it didn't end up making any money.

Its a shame that we are so afraid of new things in the gaming industry.

This must be the sequel to the sci fi game Spark Unlimited was talking about.

No Star Wars Battlefront 3-CONFIRMED.

I hate to tell you this but almost every developer associated with SWBF3 has closed down or had issues.

Free Radical who was making the game originally had to close down due to Haze and the utter failure of that stench. So in reality if people are looking for something to blame for there being no Battlefront 3, blame Haze.

Than the game supposedly went back to Pandemic, but they closed due to the failure of Lord Of The Rings Conquest.

Than ...

Microsoft has a ton of internal studios available. People keep saying they are making all these Kinect games, the reality is that very few Kinect titles coming out were made by a Microsoft studio.

Even Kinect Sports Season 2 was mostly made by a different company other than Rare, rumor has it Rare is working on something next gen.

Anyway, Microsoft opened 4 new studios in 2011 alone and also bought Twisted Pixel, so they have quite a few quality studios and t...

There were a ton of great original Xbox games.
They own all the Rare IP's, which could easily be remade. Conker Live And Reloaded is a game tons of people want to see. Crimson Skies, Brute Force, KOTOR, Jade Empire, Fable, Panzer Dragoon, Shenmue 2, Toejam And Earl 3, Voodoo Vince, Blinx had a couple of solid games.

I think the Xbox 360 could use some platform games, it'd also help get more interest in a possible new game starring Blinx.

There definitely wont be a new engine for Black Ops 2. I think they'll use a highly modified engine for Modern Warfare 4, which will be out around the time of the new consoles late next year.

I play Call Of Duty a lot, I prefer the smaller maps, smaller players and full 60fps over a lot of the other shooters on the market. I think Call Of Duty still looks pretty good and I'm not one of those trolls who says they are all the same thing, if that were true, nobody would ...

Actually its not the same engine from 2007. Your talking about the Quake source code that was there in Call Of Duty 4 Modern Warfare, since that time the Quake code has been totally removed from every Call Of Duty title.

I cant stand to play COD4 anymore because it looks so bad. There is an obvious difference, despite what people here like to lead people to believe.

I know it got slammed here, but everyone that I know that went to PAX absolutely loved it, said it was a cross between Castle Crashers and a traditional beat'em up.

They always release a Fable arcade game to coincide with the release of a Fable retail release, but this is the first one I'll actually be picking up, wasn't a fan of Pub Games...

I guess we'll agree to disagree. A gamer is a gamer, just look at the official definition.

Gamer,
noun:
A person who plays games, especially computer or video games.

Cant really make it much clearer than that. I think people just try to label these things to continue pointless arguments like this or to feel better about themselves when it comes to gaming.

The bottom line is that we all just play video games and there is no...

Who published the report saying hardcore gamers don't own a Kinect or like them? I personally don't believe there is a such thing as a hardcore or casual gamer.

At the end of the day there are just gamers to me, some just might enjoy a different genre or different game than you might. I'd like to know who's research went into finding out if so called "hardcore" gamers have a Kinect or use it.

I consider myself to be a gamer, I enjoy ...

Sounds cool, I have the first Joyride, its quite fun for what it is. Although you can pretty much get the same game from Forza 4 and it offers a ton more to do, both with a standard controller or wheel and or Kinect.

I guess the first game did well enough to get the sequel treatment.

Microsoft hasn't stopped investing in hardcore exclusives, its the end of the Xbox 360's life cycle and so they shifted focus more towards the end of the cycle in order to keep selling consoles after the next one has launched. All of Microsoft's top franchises are core as far as I'm concerned.

I think its pretty clear Microsoft and Sony are going to have higher ended consoles than the Wii U will be.

I think the Wii U is still going to be great...

Well I managed to put 150 hours into Skyim and 40+ in Mass Effect 3 and L.A. Noire recently.

I enjoyed Red Dead Redemption and I put a lot of time into that. I guess I'm just not a GTA player anymore, or the older ones were better.

You act as if Sony doesn't charge for DLC or something. Why would PC players hope for a PS3 version?

I agree that it would be nice for everyone to be able to play it, but I'm realistic about it. It looks as if the developers have moved on to two separate next generation projects and they are a small company.

If your dying to play it, pick it up on PC or Xbox 360.

I guess it depends on your setup, I hear the Witcher 2's graphics for the Xbox 360 are medium to good settings on a PC.

I know people here like to act like every PC gamer has a killer rig, the reality is not very many do. I remember when they were showing original Battlefield 3 footage and there was an article saying that less than 1% of PC owners actually had a PC that could run it the way it was supposed to be run.

Didn't help that the Saturn was so complicated to program for at the time. A lot of truly hardcore gamers really love the Sega Saturn and it was impressive and had a nice library of games.

And the next PlayStation is believed to lock out used games and include a Kinect like sensor as well.

Anyone can speculate, doesn't make it right.

Bottom line is that we heard nothing of the actual game, so all we have is rumor. Now that it is cancelled we have and will have no idea.

Also, I heard the Kinect rumors as well, but never did I hear "on rails" in any mention of those rumors. It'd be easy enough to do the cover b...

I never even finished GTA4, for some reason it started getting really boring about 15 hours into it. Is it me or does Rockstar not like giving Achievements on their game? It seemed like I couldn't get any. 15 hours and 35 Gamerscore is crazy bad.

Not saying that is the sole reason I gave up, I just wasn't digging it the way I liked the other GTA games.

He never says it was a Kinect game. That was all just rumor on everyone else' part. They are probably busy working on a straight up Gears sequel or prequel.

I actually think they could have added some Kinect elements to Gears 3, the submarine part, which is totally on rails, could have easily been useable with Kinect. Voice controls and a ton of other things could be implemented.

I know Cliffy B likes Kinect a lot, but there is no evidence that this was ...

I have a 320 gig HDD with my Gears Of War themed Xbox 360 and I rarely install any games and never have any issues. One of the things I like about using the Xbox 360 is the fact that there aren't mandatory installs.

I'd rather switch 5 disks than install games for an hour before even being able to play through it.

That being said, cant wait till this game comes out, I'm getting it for sure. Had it reserved for months now.
Just hope the de...
