I did my part! Hope we see a return of both.
I bought both Vivas and Banjo.
It's ok to be scared
Well it's my understanding that all fixed function calls like audio are just done on the 360 SoC and/or a couple jaguar cores and/or an ARM CPU (I still don't think it has one)
But I can't say for sure there's not something else
An open-world Alan Wake game that is more like the early footage where you could go around while it was day time and such would be so cool.
It's all good, I would've done PGR2 if I was gonna do it, just know you have the best avatar on GAF ATM.
I really like the avatar idea. I think I might just Xboxify Iron Man though.
Didn't they say they couldn't find a way to make it fun, though, and that's why they cut out a lot of the free roaming stuff? It can be disappointing when changes like that happen but if it's for those kinds of reasons I tend to trust their decisions.
The potential is awesome though. They absolutely nailed the atmosphere in parts. I would like to see slightly less of an action vibe though. Running through the windy forests with Taken chasing you has the potential to be absolutely awesome, but that fear is curtailed by knowing that you can turn around and take them out with minimal effort.
I really hope AW2 is announced on the 21st, or at E3, but I kind of feel like it wont be.
Agreed. Kinect sports and Fruit Ninja Kinect are a couple of the only legit Kinect titles that I really got into this gen.
Last non Kinect game Rare has released: Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts- November 11, 2008.
I don't know whether to feel pity for the developers working there or just be happy they still have a job.
Oh I didn't follow the development that much and know why they changed it. Now that there are several games that are doing a twist on "prepare in the day for the night" gameplay I just wondered if Alan Wake 2 could also do it.
I just like walking around in games, so I was a little disappointed in the lack of day time activities.

Why on earth would I care about Wii devs?

21st can come soon enough. All this secrecy is making people go nuts. The kotaku thread is a train wreck.

Search twitter for some developers who work at Remedy and see if they have hinted anything recently.
I was looking for it and maybe I misremembered, it says that it was scapped because it 'interfered with the pacing and storytelling they intended to deliver in a thriller game.' (According to Wiki). It was kind of crazy really that they built this enormous open map and then when you actually played you just ran down these little alleyways in it. I had no major problem with that though, I enjoyed the hell out of it all the same.
Like I said, though, I really hope the next game has more of a survival horror/thriller feel than an action game. Not to mention a next-gen iteration of the AW engine will be incredible. Even with the compromises they had to make the visuals in that game were astounding in places.
<-- can you xboxify my cat?

I hope so too. I still log into the multiplayer from time to time and shoot peoples horses as they ride by. I'm an awful person.

You guys want a new PD? SORRY WE GOT HALO.
That's basically what happened to Rare after Banjo bombed.

I always feel bad when I accidentally kill a horse
I always feel bad when I miss.
<------Awful person
You're so damn predictable. You're the one who will be sweating at your keyboard on the 21st hoping. You may just post less after the reveal.
It's all part of the ridiculous effect reading about the American West has on me.
I think by the end of the book I cared more about the horses in All The Pretty Horses than I did about the kids.

Oh come on, everyone is just having a bit of fun. It's always like this on the forums before such reveals. There are hopes and dreams shattered. But don't take the fun away.
Why are you taking this stuff so seriously? Chill down and let people have fun. We are just talking about videogames man.

I was thinking about Kinect 2.0, and about peoples "fears" and what not, with it being included in every box and all...
Here's my logic, with a stand alone peripheral (Kinect 1.0), they HAD to create games and support the damn thing (obviously). There would be no other way to sell the thing.
Am I the only one that thinks that by them including Kinect 2.0 in every box, they wouldn't HAVE to create specific games for it, or create Kinect only titles. The burden wouldn't be there any more. It's included. Instead, we'll see alot of cool and amazing OS level stuff and plenty of "better with Kinect" titles and yes, SOME Kinect only titles. The 21st can't come soon enough.

Who needs gifs when we have Sony fans entertaining us with drivel like this? Wow.
So with your expectations so low we won't be seeing artist posting negative things on the 21st if he doesn't like what he hears right? Right? I mean if your not expecting much there won't be anything to complain about.
I've mentioned this about five times now, but according to VGLeaks, Kinect is not a focus of the next Xbox. I think people who are 'concerned' about a Kinect focus should be less so.

Yup, same here. We got the DS4 leak just a week before right?
Sir. Don't you realize people only believe in rumors they want to believe in?
I'll expect you to know this by the next time you post.
Does the above remind anyone else of a NeoGAF argument?
PS.
PPS.

Oh Your God that is awesome... thanks!
Don't forget the Supernatural Season Finale!
Look at the city detail they can get from PGR4 when streaming textures. If there are ever system limitations, they can almost always be worked around. Notable exceptions include storage (shouldn't be an issue for either console next gen) and bizarre technical things like the lack of proper shadows on the Saturn (again, there's no evidence that either console will be able to do something the other can't).

New Xbox reveal, new Arrested Development season, new Daft Punk album, new Star Trek movie - this month is too good! GOT HYPE!
basic things are the most important things you know..
next xbox can have titan sli, but if it comes with an anti-consumer package, well, they can take one more pair and shove it quadruple sli up their bums.
no always online is a safe bet after that recent internal email, I still wait for used games and being able to use it with Kinect unplugged.
about games now, both consoles will provide quite a good jump from old xbox/ps for the first couple of years.
so that probably makes it worth buying for any gamer.
those who don't have a gaming pc, I think they will be more impressed.
I have been saying that this gen has lasted too long for many years, so whatever next is good for me.
now, about "the big issue"
if Microsoft has a significant disadvantage in power, like most people here believe, I expect them to compensate that by securing exclusivity in half of the good games that will be released for the next couple of years at least. unless they are willing to give up the marketshare they've gained.
also, I expect -other than some good games shown- that the console itself will look sleek, and that the os/interface will have nice enhancements too.
9 DAYS BIATCHES1!
