@rarson I've tried it and its just not for me. It may have a smaller resource footprint than Windows 7 and have a few tweaks and optimizations, but its a step backwards in terms of the whole user interface and experience. Some basic like navigating for apps, the charm bar, even simple things like turning off the computer require extra unnecessary steps.

@BlindHorse @JBStone1981 @iBuSHiDo Backwards compatibility is and has always been out of the question.

The physical hardware architecture is completely different between the Cell architecture of the PS3 and the x86 architecture in the PS4.

It was never gonna happen. And be greatful that now that its x86, it will share a lot more similarities with the PC thus improved developement cycles (porting between PC/PS4/One is a lot easier) thus developers spend less time tweaking each version for multiple hardware platforms.

@AlmostHaslem @SpinDie25 Actually, having bluray does in fact lead to improved graphics of the game.

PS3 games have High Resolution textures standard on the discs (as they support 25 or 50GB) thus improved the sharpness and details of the environment. If you wanted that same level of detail, you had to download high-res packs on the xbox 360 just to keep parity. Something that not all users are capable of if they only have the 4GB 360 console.

A standard DVD did not have the space for the base game and the high-res texture packs on BF3 and several other newer games.

@abHS4L88 @Ravenlore_basic Easiest and obvious solution:

Full Fledged Pokemon RPG for the Wii U (or even MMO).

Mario, Zelda and Pokemon are proven to get people to buy a system just for those games.

Pokemon with HD graphics and realistic environment (say like Skyrim), and I'm sure that will be a homerun.

I got a feeling that this weeks Feedbackula will be involving the whole FEZ thing :)

@alastor529 I'm not much of an NBA fan (my home team Raptors suck lol), but I hate Drake with a passion that if I ever played this game I'd disable music in the settings (I believe you can do this in 2k games, last 2k game i played as NHL 2k8 or so I think allowed you to disabled ingame soundtracks... I rarely play console games now so not entirely sure.

@kiramasaki

You should understand the basics of business and economics. Any game will drop significantly in price long after release (supply and demand). Years after release, there is very low demand. Any profits a company makes would have already brought a return on investment at an earlier timeframe.

The season pass offers a discount to the early adopters and the people who actually expect to play the game from day 1. This is the target consumer any game company targets. After a years time, the core players often move on to new games.

The Season pass is add-on content that extends the original gameplay (essentially expansion packs, which have existed for quite a long time before DLC ever did).

There is a major difference between milking a franchise with DLC and offering extra content.

Skins, I would consider as milking the DLC, but I don't buy those. There are a lot worse companies out their milking gamers (EA and the SIMs expansions and CoD rehashing the same type of game with map packs IMHO are way worse than offering new unique stories and content.

@xXl_z3r0_lXx @YoungCardinal @VELZER None of the American providers offer any service in Canada. (Verizon was rumored to try and purchase Wind Mobile, but that's their telecomm division).

In Canada, the major three ISP's are Rogers, Bell and Telus. but in Ontario, only Bell and Rogers are internet providers (Telus only has coverage for mobile here).

@xXl_z3r0_lXx @YoungCardinal @VELZER I'm in Canada. I got 120GB 28Mb/s down per month.

Its not great (considering the cost), but its very difficult to find alternatives in certain locations here. Ontario has a duopoly of Bell/Rogers mostly so they can dictate whatever prices they want.

I don't expect start-up companies to offer gigabit fiber anytime soon. There was a rumor that Google may bring theirs to Toronto, but that doesn't help me.

@VELZER I just picked up the game for $12 during the steam sale; looking forward to playing it...the only problem is I need to wait until next month to download it - too close to my bandwidth cap for this month :)
