Oh man. Specs again.

Seriously, fuck the specs. Go through my post history, as far back as a year ago or more I said id be happy if the new consoles could pull off TODAYS visuals with full AA, 60 frames and better textures. Even at 720.

Why do you guys care about specs so much? They've been proven irrelevant time and time again.

Yeah. Because the only difference between BF3 on 360 and PC are visuals.

Or liking visuals immediately makes you shallow.

I get what you're saying, but specs really do have their place. Especially in a few years from now when the console is aging.

I personally care about them because I don't want to play inferior games over a couple of years.
 
I would like to see dead rising 3. A 3d megaman would be cool. Do you think we will ever see aegis wing 2?

There's probably going to be more F2P stuff, so I wouldn't doubt it.

Not a great game, but I played the shit out of it with my buddies because it was free. Had a lot of good times with that game.
 
Geometry Wars 3. Just because I've finally accepted that it's probably not ever gonna happen.
Activision own the IP, so there's literally zero chance of it happening (and it being Durango exclusive).

That's what hurt the most about the death of Bizarre... Activision still own all the IP to the Bizarre-created stuff (Blur and Geometry Wars being the only notable ones).

I just liked when you did coop you could merge the ships. Any other games like that? Needed to be longer.

Inferior games? What does that even mean?

So I wasn't playing great games on Wii all this time?

ZombiU is one of the best games I've played in years, and not for one moment did its "inferior" visuals bother me.

Irony, or at least I hope not. I'll be keeping an eye on this.
 
If anyone wants to xboxify my avatar, that would be cool

A sequel to Bastion would be good, showcase for the new XBLA

Maybe their new game, Transistor?

Oh man, thought I could play Blur this Next Gen :(
 
Trigonometry Battles

Why so cryptic? Just say what you're trying to say.

EDIT: Never mind, I see below. No need to respond, I don't want another Gold debate.

Irrelevant? If Wii would have been able to match 360/PS3's specs, it might have crushed PS2's dominance. I'm all for the specs as I want tech to continue to advance. Graphics and gameplay can advance with more powerful systems to dev on. I'll take BF4 with bigger environments, improved destruction, and 64 players over another screen-tearing, jaggy, 24 player BF. Specs all over my face.
 
Sammy you boob.

Surprised that people have been dismissing the LoL rumour as anything but a megaton. MS can't have Japan so they're going to push into Korea and China. Would be a wise move.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough and I forgot to add "versions".
I play multiplatform games mostly on consoles and I prefer xbox exclusives over playstation ones and I plan on buying only one console this gen so if "Infinity" ends up being inferior in specs I will be in hard spot.

The difference is when superior versions of those same games exist at the same price, and just because you don't care Zombi U looks far below the common Ps3 game doesn't mean others won't. Some of us like our faces melted when a new generation comes around.
 
You don't think its possible for someone to just like games? That just doesn't make any sense man.

I'm with you, Karak. I always end up with all three consoles and this time it seems I will likely end up with them all day 1 (got a Wii U at launch and won't be passing on the Xbox or PS4). I only get the consoles for the games, I don't buy them because of the company. I definitely think people end up preferring certain consoles at the end of a gen, but for me it's because of what games ended up coming out.

This won't do much for Korea at all. Hell China either unless MS can convince the pro circuit to jump ship from PC to console. And the pro circuit in those two countries for LoL is an entity within itself.

Buy a PC.

Sony and MS ain't going bleeding edge this gen. Nobody wants to lose another $5bn.

I think if I had less disposable income I would be more learning towards one system or another...most likely my PC actually. But, for now, luckily I have the option to play games not systems which, for better or worse, includes the PC. Which throws a couple bones into my plans as usual. Though I do admit, now that I think about it, I have no handhelds. So there is some kind of favoritism right there. I use my tablet for what I can.

I guess so... I just figured that if Microsoft were interested in furthering that series, that they would have done another game by now. Only time will tell, I suppose.
I know I was just pointing out its possible:)

Fuck 720p man. There is such a huge difference in Image Quality when you go from 720p vs. 1080p. That is a lot of pixels to push, but man does it look so much better.

Yeah, it's an uphill battle any way you put it, but making inroads with games like LoL is a step in the right direction. They're comparatively untapped markets when it comes to console gaming, especially China.

Maybe China will be always-online exclusive :P

It really just depends how much you want to stretch the word 'megaton'.

I'm so starved of info that anything is a megaton for me at this stage.

I know some things about EA but I'm not sure if they're going to be there on Tuesday or E3.
 
Aside from new games, I'm excited about what MS will bring to the table with Xbox Live and its inevitable expansion.

One of the things I've been thinking about for a couple years that I could see happening is MS making Xbox Live Gold as it is today free and then creating an Xbox Live Platinum service. This could ensure everyone who owns an Xbox 720 can play multiplayer games online with the feature set aside from online gaming being the incentive to have a Platinum subscription.
