Screw you.

I don't get it, if another other industry started running like this - dvds, music, toys, cars - it would be an outrage. Sorry timmy, you can't share and play with little jimmy's toy anymore, Toys R Us only lets that happen once. Sorry Dad, can't lend you my car this weekend. Sorry dude, I don't have the extra cash to buy that movie I'll only watch once anymore, ever since they banned renting. Sorry man, can't let you play my guitar, Fender won't allow it unless we put them on speaker phone and explain you're just borrowing it.

I hope the negativity prevalent on the net towards Xbox One is heavily reflected in the figures Microsoft sees in its sales..

I don't think I can deal with this anti-consumer stuff. Its almost like you don't really own the game any more, they're 'letting' you play the game you bought as long as they can keep tabs on you.

I have a good internet connection, and my 360 is always connected as it is. But a part from just not wanting to support shady restrictions, my main concern is for the future. When their servers or 'service' is gone, will all xbox one games simply not work anymore? Rendering all the money spent and the products themselves useless? Until that's cleared up, I won't take the chance. This has huge potential to turn into a gargantuan f***-up

Like it or not, these guys helmed Cod's winning formula before it was taken out of their hands and suffered franchise fatigue - I think there's talent in the ex-infinity ward devs that make up Respawn. I also like mechs combined with on-foot combat. Could be cool! Too bad its on Xbox One, I'm really hoping their exclusives don't steal my heart, because I don't want to support their anti-consumer oriented restrictions. But in the end I've got to follow where the good games are, thats what its all about

The first Fable was great, I really enjoyed it, felt like a classic. The rest of the series, not so much. I guess if they can't recreate the magic of the first, remaking it isn't such a bad thing

I'm genuinely excited to see how Destiny turns out. Normally online stuff isn't a big deal to me, but Bungie tends to have a grand and mythical feel to their games. I understand why they would have wanted to try to work outside the box and really go for an expansive space opera thing, unconfined to a single-player campaign. In my speculative criticism, I'd say its a matter of keeping the engaging combat and good AI ala Halo, whilst also avoiding the blandness and uneventfulness that often plagues MMO type games. Whatever they're doing, all the elements seem like a really ambitious task to execute brilliantly

The way he was killed makes it the worst. Just a couple of idiots speeding, running red lights, taking a life.. Don't drag innocent people into your crime. Hope his family is okay without him

This was a great article Max, nice read. This is usually the sort of thing I get from Polygon.com's features - which are excellent

I like the idea that a player can usurp the god of gods and the cycle can continue. But I don't really have faith in the game being fun anyway

This isn't huge news is it? Aren't consoles always like this? PAL and so forth? I bought xbox games for the original xbox in Japan that wouldn't work at home. Bit of an overreaction in the comments from the momentum of hate on Xbox One, not that all the news about it so far doesn't suck

Another Oddworld game, please. A true sequel to Abe's Oddyssey and Abe's Exoddus. Abe's Oddyssey scared me as a kid, but for that reason it also drew me in. A truly unique world with things to say about capitalism, industrialisation, nature preservation and spirituality.

I actually played the hell out of Ultimate Ghosts N' Goblins on PSP, one of the toughest 2D sidescrollers, but fun and rewarding at the same time, love games like it and metal slug that just have random power ups. I'd buy a new version of it.

Medievil never got the 3rd game it deserved, when both 1 and 2 were pretty great.

I put hours into Tomba! as a kid, a strange metroidvania type game (closet description), it whisked me away into its world.

Another game that took my imagination was Heart Of Darkness, another hard sidescroller ('cinematic platformer'), from the same guy that did that old game Another World. About a kid afraid of the dark taken into a scary dimension to save his dog.

Crash Bandicoot for old time sake? 1 & 2 were incredible, the best 3rd person 3D platformers ever in my humble opinion.

Ape Escape was good, but I can't quite imagine how it would be re-done in the modern age.

Aw.. Reminiscing about the PS1 is making me excited to maybe jump on board again with the PS4 (:
