They did that because that's where the complaints were. Did they add touchpad for fps? The lightbar for the fps? Nah. Lots of wrong brah!

I think it's a mixture of the wii's legacy, ds, our already increased graphical fidelity since it doesnt feel as if we're working towards something with our power increases anymore, and the stagnation that's occurred this gen in the AAA space. Because of the way entire genres were pushed by the wayside, and even games…

Yes the vision is what sony want to do with the ps4, and what microsoft want to do with the x1, and what nintendo want to do with the wiiu.

Indie games being on consoles is about them being accessible to a large audience in a way they never were, and them having a significant impact on the entire landscape. Indie games aren't any more "current gen" than videogames that are made with computers. They are just games made with smaller budgets, and I'm sorry…

You want new ways to play the same games we've been playing this entire generation? And microsoft's vision for kinect is not a new way to play, like i said it's primary function for them is as a remote. That's their vision. I can sort of see that in the wiiu, except moving between both screens is kind of flawed in…

"The vision of a platform is what can be done with it." O.o No not really. What can be done with it is limited by the creativity of the devs working on it. The capability of the platform is what can be done with it.

Cost factors in when those luxury items require post-purchase support. One that "works" is still and incremental upgrade. Last, last LAST, gen stuff. And how would they get a variety of content if no one can afford to buy it? Do you know how many pc games there are? Do you know how many would require significant…

You're still missing it I'm sorry. I keep using it because you've expressed no level of understanding of what I tried to tell you in my first post. And then you go on to prove that you're still missing the point. To say you've had your fill of every genre is to say you've had your fill of a rock music. You're either…

"I don't think they've done much to show the touchpad at all."

"as any speculation for how the PS4 will turn out. Of simply based my assumption on the information which is available, like you are with the PS4." I'm not speculating on how the ps4 will turn out. In fact I'm not speculating on the ps4 at all, I'm explaining to you what sony and mark cerny have expressed on multiple…

You should read the post I'm replying too, or at least mine all the way through, you want big risks but you're referring to smaller, smarter innovations that affect how we play but ignore any similar innovations on the ps4. And at the risk of wearing out the metaphor you're still missing the forest for the trees.…

You don't see the irony in an upgraded version of the same VR they've been trying for maybe 20 years now as progressive where next gen consoles aren't? It's nice that you don't care how much it costs, but that directly affects content.

If we're gonna say one platform holder isn't trying to bring the future of games, but the others are, we have to surmise what their vision for games are. I've thought about interactive fiction and assymetrical multiplayer for the wiiu! Here's the thing though, you could easily say they just threw in a touch screen,…

The ds was really the only one if you don't count the wii.

I feel weird replying so many times to you it's just agh! "Dual-analog sticks? Harddrives? Ethernet connection? Online stores? DLC? These were all innovations in console cycles.......there are smaller, smarter innovations which have really changed the way which we play." Except you weren't asking for that hahahaha.…

You're not seeing the forest for the trees lol. And as an example, do you know how much a VR headset would cost with a ps4? You're comparing the ps4 to hardware that either doesn't exist, or would be complete suicide for sony to build a console around. We can still innovate. We did it every generation, where our…

"It kinda ties into the overall theme of the PS4" O_o No, it doesn't. I understand your point about the controller being designed for games as they are now rather than as they could be, which is an interesting point but kind of an odd one seeing as you're comparing to a fantastical controller that doesn't actually…

I have.

You're gonna have to be more clear about the bubble you're referring to. It seems like I'm missing something. We are getting lots of new interesting games, one's that are far cheaper to make, being announced and greenlit on steam. I'd say what we had earlier this gen was closer to a bubble. Lost lots of developers,…
