They need to make that Predator DLC a game mode in Ghosts, otherwise fuck off.

Just play Titanfall.

Crazy agility, can turn invisible, hang on walls, shoot a powerful one shot laser, see heat sources

You're pretty much a Predator the whole time dude.

Dont get me wrong, I love Titanfall, and theres never a dull moment, but with a CoD Predator mode, it would feel much more about survival and "hunter vs. hunted", yknow?

We're still living in a Pokemon world.

Fignuts 04-07-2014 07:04 PM

Never got into Pokemon. Might consider it if they made a WiiU game.

Too much of a handheld system seller for them to make a console game in the past, but the WiiU is tanking, and desperate times call for desperate measures.

Kalyx triaD 04-07-2014 07:29 PM

They are not putting a full Pokemon game on home console, it will always be spin-offs.

Yeah it prints money, but that doesn't seem to be a problem right now. WiiU is only struggling for itself; Nintendo as a whole can still buy small countries.

I suppose when more of the big boys come around things will change.

alvarado52 04-07-2014 08:25 PM

WiiU will certainly see a spike in sales with Mario Kart and Smash Bros, but it won't save the system. Same problem Nintendo had last Gen, no third party support.

Kalyx triaD 04-07-2014 08:44 PM

Third party would support them with multiplatform games, though. Let's be real, you're not playing CoD on WiiU when the party's on XBL/PSN. I don't intend/expect WiiU to be my primary gaming platform.

I will treat it as I did since GCN; it gets pulled out for their unparallelled first party shit. It's just the way it is for me at least.

2) As part of the on-going debate involving video games and violence, a recent study from Oxford University states game-related aggression is tied a lot more to frustration while playing than the actual level of violence found in a game.
Quote:

"We focused on the motives of people who play electronic games and found players have a psychological need to come out on top when playing. If players feel thwarted by the controls or the design of the game, they can wind up feeling aggressive. This need to master the game was far more significant than whether the game contained violent material," Dr Andrew Przybylski said.

3) According to the creative director for The Crew, the game will automatically boot back to the title screen and lose all stats/data whenever an internet connection is lost while playing.

Come April 26, 2014, one of gaming's greatest mysteries will finally be solved. Or maybe it will just be get even more convoluted and confusing. In either case, that is the official date Microsoft just announced for when someone is finally going to break ground on the infamous New Mexico landfill that's allegedly overflowing with discarded copies of the Atari 2600 games E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and Pac-Man.

As legend has it, Atari piled the unused cartridges into the landfill more than three decades ago following the colossal commercial failure of both titles. The company had paid through the nose to secure the rights to make a video game adaptation of E.T. The game that eventually came out of this licensing deal wasn't just terrible, however. It also had very little to do with Steven Spielberg's classic movie of the same name. As for Pac-Man? Well, the console version of the game sold around seven million copies but still left Atari with an extra five million gathering dust in its warehouse in El Paso, Texas.

The mystery lies in what happened next. On April 26, 1989, Atari did bury a bunch of stuff in a landfill in Alamogordo, a city in south-central New Mexico. It has never confirmed if the thousands of unused cartridges were part (or all) of said stuff, however.

Late last year, the media company Fuel Entertainment got exclusive rights from the Alamogordo city council to go digging for the landfill. Now partnered with Microsoft's Xbox Entertainment Studios and LightBox Entertainment, Fuel is finally going to put all the conspiracy theories to the test.

What do you think the three are going to find down there? All the remaining E.T. copies that are still unspoken for? A time capsule that Atari co-founder Nolan Bushnell left to warn us all of the unspeakable atrocities that would unfold in the console wars to come? Walter White's leftover drug money? We only have a few more days to come up with the crackpot theory to end all crackpot theories, so let's get to work!
