"In addition, the Xbox One controller automatically knows who is playing when the controller is passed to a friend, thanks to the pad pairing with Kinect. Lastly, the battery pack is inside the controller's body, allowing players more room to hold the pad."
Main bit I have issues with. First, does it have finger print readers or something?
Second, I can probably guess that the controller's condition will last a hell of a lot longer than the battery but rather than only having to buy a new battery now, instead we have to buy a new controller. I smell more money grabbing.
Something just occurred to me. What if, in 3 years or so, you need to replace your console? You'll be paying for another console AND another kinect when your current one might be working perfectly well.
Thanks to Zombies being prevalent in media lately I think that I am desensitised to them within the virtual world (I still wouldn't like to meet one). And why I do agree that zombies are excellent cannon fodder I think that they are overused right now but I'm sure that it will pass in a few years when the latest CoD Zombies begins to get boring (although I could argue that it has begun to happen. Blops II zombie maps are boring and I don't want to pay a ton to get any other maps that "could" be decent). Zombies are overdone and I think it's time for a change of pace and bring back some of the older enemies, such as what nyran125tk has said, daemons. (I am looking forward to DR:3 though :P)
The only way I can see most games achieving a winning reward/punishing loss competition is if everything is fair. It's all right saying that it would be better to reward the winners with better equipment and if you lose, remove them but what about players who cheat or have managed to get a few good wins early in the game's release? Anyone who joins the multiplayer later on would be at a huge disadvantage regardless of skill purely because they don't have any fancy gear whereas the older players have all the advanced tech that stops newer players being effective at all. They would have to develop a method in which the rewards for winning doesn't turn that player into a killing machine regardless of skill.
@Ghosthunter54 When I saw this game that was my first thought that it looked like PotC with AC themes. Looking forward to it. It's a shame PotC doesn't work on PC's very easily any more. They had some ship battles in AC3 but they were a lot more limited. In this version it looks to give you complete freedom over the seaways.
@Blessed1990 I agree. No matter the system it will be abused. I do disagree with the "Most gamers are a-holes" bit though. It's normally the vocal ones that are. The nice guys usually keep quiet.
