If it was any other company I would be worried, but Valve has a way of pulling off crazy ideas.

Proof that "It has no games" is not the only reason people are not buying the WiiU.

This seems like one of those launch games everyone will forget even existed a few years from now.

At least Mister Serious Game Critic can still enjoy the Sega Dreamcast in his home years after it was discontinued. We almost lost that ability last month with the new gen.

As Mark explained in the video, offloading tasks to the GPU is something developers can take advantage of as the console matures during its life cycle. Its not "required", and doesn't add any complexity to titles that don't want to use it. It's actually not odd at all, PC's have been offloading certain tasks to the…

This is a great video, it gives you a rare inside look at how these consoles are actually thought up years before launch.

This might answer some of your headset questions.

I'm talking about this guy:

I quoted that page in my original post...

No problem!I think the only way to get older headsets to work on the new hardware would be if the release an updated HDMI->Toslink adapter.

That's not an Xbox 360.

Not without an adapter (and maybe not at all). Most stereo headsets work using an RCA input and next-gen consoles won't support anything but HDMI. The new Xbox 360 doesn't even support Optical Audio.

It looks like there are so many different items and shapes you can import into the world that it will actually take more time and effort to build something than in Minecraft.

Whats wrong with zero exploration?

I agree, sometimes not competing can be fun too. I remember actually having more fun building up cities in Age of Empires II with my friends than I did fighting them.

No one cares? You do realize that until recently it was the most popular kick-starter of all time? And it is currently sold out even though its only been out for a few hours? Maybe it doesn't suit your needs, but that doesn't mean you need to run to the internet to complain about it.

Nah, the current Tegra 3 Ouya is only about half as powerful as the newest smartphones. The main draw for this little box is the $99 price tag.

I agree completely. I'll take a focused story over generic filler gameplay every time. Even if it means I have have to give up some "freedom".

It's true. I've picked up Xenoblade, TLS and most recently Ni No Kuni which are games many have labeled the best JRPG's of this generation and to be brutally honest none of them are as immersive or as much fun as Final Fantasy XIII was. Of course that is just my opinion, but I feel like many of the FF haters are just…
