BC sounded really good back then and we need more dino games right now so BC would fill a void. I'm not sure how well suited the style of game would be for consoles though as it looks more like a PC game similar to Black & White.

I'm not overly fussed about older saves as I doubt I'd be returning to most of my older games. If I do I'd probably start over.

Maybe so but how long is that going to take?

What you're seeing here is tabloid journalism at work. Surely as someone with a college educated intellect can see this?

What an idiot. I think the media gives him way too much of a platform. He's back-peddled on his original comments then comes across like a dick.

The story image makes me cringe.

Is a great concept and something unique to PS3. Plus it's Free. Why complain at free stuff in this day and age.

I'm glad the author hasn't included a load of emo RPG characters. I'd disagree with Faith and Sheva on that list though.

Oh, I wholeheartedly agree with that. I mean, just 10 minutes after they had finished with my car I broke down again, and they had charged me $50

With most of those.

Patcher is great at throwing sensible, and nonsensical stuff out there, but at the same time hasn't provided any possibilities to make it feasible. This isn't going to go down well presented in the way he's mentioned, but with clever marketing just like DLC being accepted, pay to play online could be as well.

Example being:

Free DLC when you purchase online subscription...

This has been debunked a number of times.

Well that's horrible strategy, surely they've learned (learnt - depending on your US or UK English) from the RROD crap they went through.

I've seen various stories which report issues with Kinect. This doesn't bode well at all.

This is s*** no way am I paying more. This sort of thing makes Sony's online service even more attractive.

Which is a shame because I was hoping Kinect would be more than just a hook and line to draw in casuals. It's us hardcore gamers who spend more money after the initial purchase, so it makes sense to offer stuff for us as well.

Whilst the girl in the interview seems positive, how much is she likely to spend 6 months after she gets Kinect and the novelty has worn off?

Wasn't it supposed to be even more than that?

@falviousuk because the evidence suggests that it won't be thus far.

1. Why are MS not revealing a price
2. Retailers are pricing at £150
3. Games lineup not geared towards hardcore gamers
4. Manufacturing costs high
5. Competition is high (from Wii)

The only evidence thus far is that it will be a "roaring" success is for households with lots of disposable income, who don't own a Wii and are into casual ...

It has to be a question as there's no price details yet, and the hardware isn't even released, so to flat out say it's failed before launch is premature but still possible.
