    I don't think it's the quality of the new Kinect anyone has a problem with (some carried-over skepticism from the first notwithstanding), but what they're doing with it. That it MUST be plugged in, that it MUST be on, and so forth. Some people (myself included) have pondered turning it towards the wall or covering the camera as a solution, though I'm worried that won't work-- that it will have to see you in order for the machine to operate.

    It's not really redeeming but I am curious to see it in real great action. Dance Central, no doubt was the best shit ever created and meant for Kinect that PSmove and Wii should've just ditched the dancing games. Gunslinger was great, and Kinect 2.0 has better potential but nobody really has made the BEST potential out of the original so it's hard to really say. Either way though I wish it good luck though in my opinion, nothing will best the 10/10 feel of Metroid Prime 3/Trilogy's motion shooter controls.

    This makes no sense. If the percentage is correct that would mean from a £35 preowned game the shop would only £3.50. This means that they would only pay 50p in the first place. Who would trade in £40 for 50p. The stores would die and people would be a lot more careful with their purchases. I have over 100 PS3 games in my to do pile. I wouldn't have that many if I didn't have the option to trade them. No more impulse buys and definitely no purchases of games with less than 100 hrs gameplay.

    Microsoft is kinda dumb. If this is how they're going to handle used games, then it would be smarter for them to just make the console Download exclusive, with no physical discs. It doesn't make sense to publish and distribute millions of copies of a disc that's only going to be used in the actual console once. If you have to hold onto the disc anyway, while you're playing the game (owning it), then why not just make it Downloadable, and forget all this nonsense?

    I totally get your point. However, that would mean that MS throws the whole system that defines the videogame-industry overboard. There must always be some form of physical, haptic media, we are not ready for that... yet. Plus there is a huge distribution/supplier system working behind the scenes. And again, I totally get your point. Buying a nicely-boxed game whose disc I will probably just touch once in my life is not a heart-warming feeling. It actually feels unsustainable and wrong...but thats appearantly how the industry evolves. It'll be interesting how Sony approaches this issue.

    Yeah saw this news. First you say your not making games for Wii U, then you have a "Senior" executive start complaining and insulting Nintendo and Wii U in a vulgar way that ended up being deleted, and now your saying you actually are making Wii U games. EA stop being full of shit. I've seen.jokes around the internet that they "came crawling back to Nintendo" after seeing the Xbox one reveal.

    Meh, I'm not too phased by this, most of these games would play better on PC anyway (like Battlefield 4, Dragon Age 3 for example ) and sports games generally don't interest me (with some rare exceptions).

    I'll not be getting one at launch anyway, but still good to know we're not getting left behind this time. I wonder if the decision has been made because they're aiming to take the money off all the people who are saying they'll jump ship from microsoft, before they change their minds?

    Uh... did you actually paid any attention at what he said? He never said there wasn't a great story. Just that if you go in just wanting to play a puzzle game without feeling encumbered with the story, there's that, but the story and details of it are definitely there. If you have ever played trough Braid, Blow's last game, you'd understand what he's talking about.

    --im excited to see what developers are gonna do with 8th gen power --but its not like the old days anymore --there isnt that "natural transition" anymore --theres an air of "lets just try this , see how it goes" --or "this is all we got, we gotta do something, lets try it, if it fails we can do an update" --which can be good --i just miss the old days of natural growth --really truly taking things to the "next level"

    Holy shit! This is still coming out? It's things like this that make me wonder whether Squeenix will survive next gen. They're going to re-release an MMO whose first iteration was universally maligned on a console two months before it becomes obsolete AND charge $12 a month? Whose going to pay $12 a month for that crap?
