That reminds me that I've got maybe a dozen long boxes sitting my parents attic. I wonder if the plastic bags have melted by now. They've been up there for almost twenty years.

I don't want to blow your mind but I don't have to imagine I'm a regular citizen. Just messin' with ya. I'm the Goddamn Batman! Now you know what the heck I do during the day. I'm on Kotaku baby! I can't believe how lame Nintendo made my game!

So in other words they never explain why we don't see his face?

I disagree. If it was revealed that Master Chief was Alfred E. Newman I would be ecstatic. Seriously. That would be some funny ass shit.

Alright Halo fans help me out. Why don't we ever see Master Chief face?

True. Although sadly I recently heard one of the dudes from Epic saying that launch titles are not going to look as good as the Samaritan demo. What's more he said next gen games using the Unreal engine wouldn't look that good until a year after launch.

How about Xbod?

Yeah but then everybody might be saying, "They're calling it WHAT?" Man I thought 720 sounded dumb".

Oh you're right. Incidentally I wonder if there's dude that picks up poop at cirque de soleil like at a regular circus.

I can see that. Even if they don't incorporate a touch screen I wouldn't be surprised if the controller is somehow different than the dualshock.

Didn't Microsoft reveal the 360 at its own separate event weeks before E3? It was that Cirque de Soleil thing, right? Maybe they'll do something like that again.

I think people should keep their expectations a little low in regards to next gen console news. If I were a betting man I'd say that next year we're going to see both Microsoft and Sony focusing heavily on non game features when Orbis and Durango are unveiled. Hell Microsoft is already doing that with the 360.

That's one of the issues I have. On the one hand I understand that Heavy Rain included purposely frustrating controls to mimic the characters frustration but that level of transference doesn't click for me.

I've read multiple articles that say that it controls VERY similarly to Heavy Rain. Somebody in the Giant Bomb comment section imbedded a link to the leaked footage [www.giantbomb.com] and yeah it looks like Heavy Rain 2 to me, (in terms of the controls that is.

If nothing else Journey shows that there is an audience for games that are willing to take creative risks. Hopefully that audience will grow over time.

A lot of you here are funny. You'll endlessly complain when video game fans are portrayed as gross, fat, sweatpants wearing, virgin losers that live in their parents basement and yet you can't comprehend how frustrating it must be for women given how they're portrayed in video games and treated online. Amazing. Just…

Am I crazy to think that turning into a fish is silly?

Good to know. I was planning on catching up with the Bombcast later tonight.

Heh, true true.

Man alive! You all are a bunch of Debby Downers. What's with all the negative predictions? Video games today are far and away better than they were twenty years ago, just as people thought games were better in 1992 than in 1982.
