Why are so many people worried about the next xbox having a kinect required. developers don't like motion controls as we can see with the drop off of the wii, the move and the most revelent the kinect. it will proably just become another options for controling games that come with the system but use isn't required. microsoft will proably build a controll system for it but will proably be optional for general control
the cloud is an interesting idea for things like storage but actually doing everything in the cloud is a poor idea. we don't yet live in that perfect utopia where computers don't fail, power doesn't go out and everyone has 20 gigabit interet. the idea of the cloud works on the principle that your stuff is on so many different computers that it doesn't matter if one fails. but what if you can't get good access to one of the others look a the launch of diablo 3, for the first 3 days it was unplayable not because of a bug that was easly patched but because there were to many players on the server. also that is a huge infostructur to maintain. also what happens when a company goes under or stoops offering the service, all your stuff goes with it, your research your papers, your games. if cloud gaming is the future then its a bleak future indead
"software development will become so complicated that we will eventually face a situation where cost recovery becomes a serious issue". This great but i really wish he would stop doing it on 10 year old propitiatory hardware. just put good computer chips in to nintindos so that they can do both, not every thing needs to look amazing but shiny stuff dose get attention
having a PC and a PS3 I really wish they would release everything in the halo series and gears series even if it has to come on games for windows live or there new stupid app store a year later. halo and gears are fantastic
god i love that game. When danny did that 'play video games 4 24 hours 4 charity thing' they played unreal tournament online and I couldn't get in because i didn't have my copy any more(it was 12 years ago thats a long time to keep a cd). he should have told us so the community could have got in on the fun this time as well
Nintindo should actually get back into the consul race by actually producing a machine powerful enough to at least get proper current gen ports. also it in would be nice to see something that is completely original from them. My gaming history gose nintindo > genisiss > nintindo 64 > PC > PS2 > PS3 > Back to PC. I would love to see a nintindo consul that can keep up with a basic gaming PC with some original games to complement my PC gaming I would buy that in a hart beat.
