    Spartan-N7 Wow, Microsoft must love the taste of their foot, cause it's shoved in their mouth pretty tight right now.

    Call me... backwards, heh, but it's just another reason I'm not interested. The reason they're not doing it is painfully obvious. The same reason Sony isn't doing it; so they milk us dry by charging us full price again for HD collections of older games. Or putting those up for digital download. Which do work on their latest system. It's all about the benjamins. As for PS4, I remain dubious.

    This doesn't even feel like a console release at all and on a side note what is with the puny 500gb hard drive. If you have to install all your games completely its going to run out of room fast.

    It could be rose-tinted glasses, but it all looked much more 'fun' back in 2005. In 2013 we got a dry, corporate presentation for both reveals. I suppose you could put it down to MTV though. I can't believe that reveal was 8 years ago, I'm getting old... Also, there is something wrong with your slideshows, and there has been for a while. Sometimes when I click next or the arrow key, the picture disappears but the text and page number stay the same. Then when I click next again it goes to the next slide correctly. I am using Chrome.

    That is really nice and, dare I say, admirable of him to adress us directly like this and give such a no-bullshit explanation. It's rare to see this kind of honesty and transparency from this degree of developer. Whenever Remedy decides to make Alan Wake 2, I'll be there.

    Games are expensive at 60$, I probably only pay full price for like 1 or 2 games a year(if that). I don't see why anyone would want to pay retail price for games that have some age to them, when you will be able to buy most of the same games on a PS4 for less(assuming that the PS4 wont block used games). I'm sure Microsoft will have sales on these games, but knowing Microsoft a game wont see a 20 dollar price tag until it's at least 6 years old. If Sony ends up going a similar route, I'll be sticking with my 360.

    :( you know gameing has been part of my life for a long time. From the NES to the SNES, from the PS1 and PS2 to my Xbox 360, I've been gameing for around 20 years. Microsoft, Sony. Congrats. You finally convinced me to turn my back on the console market, and I say this with much regret.

    Kill the internet requirement (which they probably won't), let us play used games without a fee (which they probably won't), change the fact that Kinect is REQUIRED to do anything with the console (which they definitely won't), and show off some creative, serious games for gamers, not Kinect shovelware crap like Dance Central and Kinectimals 2.0 (which, judging by MS's recent history, is unlikely to happen. MS hasn't had a decent, fresh exclusive in a while). Do all of this, keep the price reasonable, and I would be much more likely to buy. Also, throwing in a free Illumiroom would be icing on the cake, but that would never happen.

    That's a lot more gentle than I would've been...three cheers for being calm and composed about it, Ryan! Then again, I've been linking sources and calling BS all day; the astroturf army is under my skin. The more info that comes out, the more Microsoft seems to be frantically backpedaling, deflecting, saying 'uh, uh, uh, don't get mad, it's actually going to be, uh, um, crap (the pencil tore the napkin, how can I come up with Plan B now?), uh, let us get back to you on that', and not communicating with each other [conflicting statements from MS reps] in their mad scramble to contain the damage. At this point, expect some major policy changes before launch, along with a huge Day 1 patch to address the software that's being manufactured into systems as we speak [if it's launching this year, the run has to be underway]. Also expect Sony to quietly rewrite any policies that were similar, play dumb about abandoned plans never brought to light, and then pounce on this opportunity at E3 [if not sooner].

    I can't believe indie devs still care about xbox. Valve, Sony, Android, and even Apple treat them better. Is it even worth it for a team of less than 10 to release a game to the xbox audience while jumping through MS's expensive flaming hoops. Although, they probably have some fans who can only get their game through xbox and care enough about the fans to put up with this malpractice.

    Ouch, that's the most ironic thing I have ever seen, considering Microsoft welcomed Indies with open arms out of the big 3 and gave them their own section to give birth to popular Indie games. Funny how the tables have turned, with Sony and Nintendo getting Indie support.
