I doubt its imminent, but it's a viable possibility due to the current direction of gaming.

EDGE is claiming the next XBox will permanent online and not allow second hand games.

http://www.edge-online.com/news/the-...nd-new-kinect/

True or not, Gamestops stock took a small dive after this report.

pretty hard to make a gaming console "permanent online" when some people never hook their system up to the internet.

I agree, but Edge aren't usually ones to just put shit up for hits. In fact, they're so convinced, they've done another article saying what it means for Orbis

http://www.edge-online.com/features/...playstation-4/

I gotta see how this plays out.

If something like this went down, Gamestop and Gamefly would fold.

Whatever.

Could really give a shit about Gamestop folding, but Gamefly is a good thing.

Gamestop could vanish for all I care. Fuck Gamestop.

Gamestop probably won't considering they've gradually been getting involved in selling downloadable stuff in recent years and did state its been really profitable for them. Would need a lot more time to fully switch their profits from relying on used games to digital stuff though.

I like Tim Olyphant where he is on Justified thank you very much.

I never played Team Fortress 2 and I never will but the characters are very fun so I'd really like a TF2 film.

I hope the Valve films have the original cast and don't cast someone else as GLADoS or Heavy or whoever else. I'm sure they'll case some "superstar" as the voices, though.

I already wrote, produced, and directed a 3 season TF2 series on HBO in my head like 5 years ago thank you very much

Fairly certain a Portal movie would keep GLADoS' voice intact.

It included time-travel and crossover with the Portal franchise. It was really good.

Really wish Japanese people would make a new wrestling game already. I don't even care if its not fire pro, just give me something.

Still playing FPR all the time, but there have been a bajillion new moves invented since 2005, and believable substitutes are getting fewer and far between.

Permanent online is one of the stupidest things Microsoft can do. I'm not even getting one and I'm hoping it isn't true.

If it means to play single player campaigns require internet then that is stupid.

Yeah that really worked out great for diablo 3.

We've been hearing this for years, so *yawn*

Microsoft (and gaming in general) really has no problem excluding people. Look at the broadband-only setups that started back when dialup was still king.

that's rather short-sighted, but okay.

Wonder if the arcade port on Wii was censored. That game was great.

Just cause 2 is one of the best open world games ever. Even thinking about a sequel powered by a new console makes me cum in my pants.

Dat collection.

Holy ballsacks.

If Just Cause 3 has no multiplayer it is auto-fail. Because yeah, their open-world gameplay is off the chain.

Does anyone have any Dota 2 keys? Everyone and their mom seems to have gotten one, except for me.

I want more Mass Effect.

God I want a feudal Japan or China Assassin's Creed. I don't give a fuck if it's ridiculously cliche. I just want a game where you play as an assassin in Japan and inadvertently create ninjas.

I now miss the good Tenchu games.

Don't need another "in-between episodes 3-4" game. Just make 1 more Knights of the Old Republic, Obsidian, and make it a nice trilogy.

And please, Square Enix, let this Legacy of Kain news turn out to be true.

If anyone is interested in Slender: The Arrival, you can pre-order now for $5 and get immediate access to the beta.

WB with dat WB logic.

I'm guessing from the lack of an Aliens Colonial Marines thread, everyone pretty much knew it was going to be a huge pile of shit.

There's been threads of games that bombed. I was personally hoping it would be decent, at least AvP decent (though I knew shrugging off Rebellion for this game was a no-no). The pics had decent atmosphere but shit, this generation visuals better not be a problem. Cool screen shots don't impress me anymore. Then the vids came and the robotic animation everybody called out was apparent. This simply didn't look like a game that look years to make (in production even before 2009's AvP).

Pretentiously making Horde Mode week-1 DLC, something I think writes itself into an Aliens game and was out-da-box in AvP, wasn't a good move either. Just bad moves all around. Sega's not in a place to be slipping up like this with a franchise like that.
