@moc5 @Victorious_Fize Oh I'm just addressing the predictions in my outlook as a gamer my friend. Sorry if it seemed long, but the article was kinda long too haha.

Thanks a lot for the interest though!

Hahahaha, this just shows how much market you've lost with the Wii, idiots.

WHERE'S YOUR CASUALS NOW?

You tell em!

@dab198 OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

INTERNET FIGHT!

Still would rather emulate FireRed.

Maybe later.

Good stuff.

- eSports, eSports, eSports -

Will continue to progress, but not too much. EVO have been around for over a decade, not much changed aside from growth and increased communication. It's just branching and rubbing off on other, even more popular, games and genres these days. And you guys are just beginning to notice that and giving investment of your journalism to, so as to be one of the first to do it.

- Square-Enix Finally Will Do Something With Final Fantasy VII -

Yes please!

- League of Legends on More Platforms -

LoL utilizing it's growth and success, nothing to look for, except for the fans.

- The MOBA Influence Goes Nuts -

MOBA are going wild, that's for sure, but it's nothing to keep an eye on, IMO. From what I've seen, MOBA players are a species of their own and usually don't play a lot of other games to represent an influence.

- The Return of Good Stories -

About damn time!

- Vita Repackaged, Price Reduced. Sanity Prevails -

I'm optimistic that Sony will do the "should", the only reason they'll use the worst case scenario is when they're really really broke, and they're not on that level yet. Sony has it right when it comes to consoles, they know that the power of their consoles come from core games, exclusives, and the rest just follows.

I've also heard that they're aware of their standing with 3rd party publishers and that they have a planned project of overseeing the release of well above 60 games within the span of the upcoming year.

Have high hopes for the Vita. Even though it's fashionable to bash. :P

- Next PlayStation is Called…PlayStation 4 -

Duh, and it'll be the best thing ever. Just so long it follows the steps of PS2. Lots of games, affordable pricing, and a catch-all-tent with a lean for serious gaming, and you'll have the winner of the next gen, easily.

- Tablets Come of Age -

Industry still too small. Not gonna happen (seriously, at least).

- Xbox Surface By The Summer Next Xbox is Called…Xbox -

Good point about the naming... I always knew something didn't sound right with 720. :P

- Source 2 and Half-Life 3, Maybe

PC stuff, I only care about TW and M&B right now.

- Skipping The Middleman and the Rise of the Super Indie -

Indie stuff are a great way to counterweight those that think they own the industry and try to monopolize it. I think people are making a stand and it'll all stabilize into a balanced standard of visible differences in games made by real companies with a team of employees and independent studios with time.

- Steam Box To Make Life Difficult for Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo -

Seems like it, but they Steam Box won't attract a lot of share. It strikes me as empowering PC gamers and converts more than anything else.

All in all, I'm eyeing on sequels of particular games, and how Sony in specific will handle its next vital steps.

I was hoping that it'd finally be more sandbox friendly. Things like driving and changing clothes would have made it more enjoyable.

Oh well, I at least wish they'll keep my ability to pimp "hostesses".

@the_bi99man @tachsniper Deflective. We're talking about second hand games here, not sales and deals.

PC is far worse than consoles when it comes to it. Regardless of whether it compensates in other aspects or not.

I mainly trade in second hand stuff with friends for free, too.

@tachsniper right, because digital distribution has such a second-hand friendly scene of no limitations what so ever.
