You have no idea what the games coming to it are. They just said 8 new first party IPs in the launch year.

Well, the unit looks nice and the controller looks great, but I'm a little sad to realize that I'm clearly not remotely part of the Xbox target demographic. I couldn't possibly care less about the NFL, sports games in general, Call of Duty, racing sims/car porn, a Halo TV show, or, really, television at all. I don't…

They can service Wii U owners better by actually selling more consoles to encourage 3rd party developers not to abandon the platform.

In surprising news: corporate promos result in shitty food offers!

That's a great design, certainly, and a perfect example of what's all too rare in gaming. It was mostly that turn of phrase - not an inch of skin showing below the neck - that compelled me to mention that 'strong' isn't the same thing as 'puritan,' and a strong female doesn't have to affect elements of men's, or even…

I have nothing to add except 'Ha!' The global economy is every bit as belief-based as any other economy. "Uh... let's trade shiny rocks for black shiny sludge?" "Sure, but let's pretend those rocks are equal to this paper, first."

That is completely, utterly awful.

I figured since I was going to give the next gen consoles a year to flesh out their game catalogs and iron out the bugs anyway, I went ahead and built a computer that could run games. I kinda needed a new PC anyway, and I'm kinda pumped to spend the next year, year and half catching up on PC games I'd been wanting to…

Which is exactly why launching this console without a generation-defining Zelda game was foolish, and why launching without a redesigned Mario Kart to showcase the need for the new controller was terrible. They rushed the console to market to launch before their ostensible competitors, and failed to launch the games…

I've been salivating over the Rift for ages, but your description is the most tantalizing one I've read yet. Thanks so much for sharing!

Well, that is the entire point of the Rift.

It's going to have to build itself up on different kinds of games - Angry Birds would be a pretty different experience with a mouse or controller - it's success (well, besides marketing itself better than the games it ripped off) was that it was the perfect game to show off the device's input strengths. Games will…

They are doing it with the Razer Hydra now - the latency on the Kinect is too high. But in 3 years?

Oh, and that new Respawn game about mechs is rumored to be as well.

Well, Destiny and Watch Dogs are probably the 2 biggest AAA titles we've had announced for next gen so far, and both are cross-generational releases I believe. I'd be very surprised not to see more at E3.

True, but the attach rate for early console buyers would be incredible, given the small amount of competition, and a November/December release could still piggy-back off of some marketing materials for the current-gen release.

I imagine it'll be on both current and next-gen, as seems to be happening with a few other high profile titles this year. Bigger crowds, higher-res textures, etc.

Shhh - nobody tell Jason Schreier. Not because he can't handle boobs, but because he'll insist the only sex-positive examples of females in gaming are very-small-breasted women wearing boy-clothes. Because proposing women look like men is somehow feminist? Just so we're all clear: sexually-exaggerated women = sexist,…

Nobody's disagreeing that Steam isn't capable of it. Cliff, and myself, are both saying that Steam's made PC gaming more profitable to develop for because it offers such a great user experience. We're also both agreeing that a pirated game isn't a lost sale - in fact, that's the entire point of Cliff's presentation.

Oh, the onion-layers of passive-aggressive fallacies in that sentence! Implying everyone else here disagrees with that broadly-accepted premise, that this game is representative of a lack of inclusion in gaming, or that the portrayal of sexuality in this game is inherently gender exclusive, etc.
