Ignore it all. Also said that there would be a 3DS+ next year with a retractable second controller with 2 sticks and all the buttons. Brilliant.

I was incredibly stoked about Brink, bought it, played it for about a month and sold it. Highly disappointed. The concept is awesome, but the execution failed. Gamers are falling into a "CoD Sickness" - meaning if the FPS game you are playing isn't CoD or related, quite a few "gamers" won't even bother I would say Brink was a 6/10 for me, personally. I would like to see a follow up that has been heavily tweaked.... I think it can work. |

Agreed, it would have worked I think.
The GH7 bit though, with removing all the instruments and what not, baaaaaaaaaaad idea. Expert + drums on GH Metallica = good times |

According to an interview with Kotaku during Spike's VGA show, Valve confirms Big Picture Mode for Steam was the start of their attempt to compete with console makers for the "living room" market.
Gabe Newell mentioned how he believes in the future PC makers will start the push to manufacture PCs who's purpose is just for living room usage with Valve themselves planning on making their own PC hardware. He also believes Steam would end up playing a huge role for these devices especially now that Big Picture Mode is available. While Valve favors the open system design traditional PCs provide, he did admit that in order to succeed in the living room market these new PCs would have to be closed systems just like consoles.

New rumors in regards to the next Xbox and PS4 as both are rumored to have recently changed their codenames while Microsoft still having problems getting quality chips to be made.
In terms of the next Xbox, Microsoft is rumored to have dropped the "Durango" codename in favor of a Kryptos codename. The console would be using an AMD chip called Oban" but similar to last time, chip production issues have resulted in the majority of the early chip batches to be tossed due to failing reliability and quality inspections. Other details include a potential Fall 2013 release window but could be pushed back to a Spring 2014 window. In terms of the PS4, the "Orbis" codename was never an actual codename for the PS4 and instead its real name has always been "Thebes." Similar to Microsoft, the PS4 will be using an AMD chip but it won't be the "Oban" chip. Other details include mass production of these chips will not occur until after the next Xbox is released which would mean a Spring/Fall 2014 release window. http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...-chip-delayed/ ______________________________________________________ Daily Recap: * Blizzard has managed to get Diablo III to run on consoles but are not treating it as an official announcement nor as a tease for a future console release. http://www.destructoid.com/diablo-ii...l-240352.phtml * THQ is giving away a limited amount of free PC copies of Metro 2033 from now till December 16 with the only requirement being to like their Facebook page. http://www.screwattack.com/video/Met...a-copy-5325961 |
