Who skips a show for bandwidth cap!! Sounds like my dog ate my paper....

E3 FTW!!!

[Godmars290]

With this gen being more about streamlining, simplification of gameplay and overall fan division - console brands, handhelds, PCs and even game franchises like FF - the mess of DRM and DLC, getting motion control rammed down our throats, rather than the further diversity in gameplay and styles which should have happened, I'm really not seeing what good another generation will do. What honest improvements it'll offer.

this year is going to be a big E3!!! hope sony or MS show there new systems!!! :)

[soundslike]

"I hope sony or ms show there new systems!!!"

Yea! Can't wait for EA and Activision to gobble up even more studios because games will get way too fuckin expensive to make! Hooray! The future!

[Jason143]

Remember the good old days? Can i borrow your contra cartdrige? I miss those days. Now i buy a game and it tells me i cant install it on another pc. I get a one time use online pass.
You said it better then i could. cheers man

"Future of Gameplay and Innovation". We can only guess! :)

[Half-Mafia]

That rumor about a heads-up display is what I'm thinking the innovation is, or im just dreaming for it.

[koston3647]

poop

[belal]

i think that the new systems will be announced next E3.

[Jason143]

Next next gen is already here. its on pc where it has been for quite some time now. Until consoles utilize directx11 in all their games and run a native 1900 resolution they are simply far behind.

[Hicken]

PC doesn't have "generations," especially not in the context of consoles.

We're currently on the seventh generation of consoles. What generation is your PC?

I rest my case.

[Shnazzyone]

Wait wait wait. This title isn't complete. It should be, "E3 2012 Playstation targets future of gameplay and innovation, Xbox spotlights services, Nintendo will actually do all these things rather than just talk about it."

[refocusedman]

LOL!!!! Are you serious? Last time I checked nintendo offers no real sevices ( They dont even have a serviceable online network) and gameplay ( mario is the same game every year just a different coat of paint) and innovation......... maybe

First to use the d-pad, Nintendo. Company who saved gaming in the 80's: Nintendo, Fist company to give gaming modern analog control: Nintendo. First company to utilize 4 player gaming standard on a console: Nintendo. First company to push sound technology in gaming: Nintendo. First to institute touchscreen controls into gaming: Nintendo. First company utilize 1:1 motion controls commercially: Nintendo.

Sony's button layout for the last 15 years, created by nintendo. Sony's motion control solution, modification on what Nintendo did. Playstation was originally a nintendo made name. Oh yeah and we wont even bring up that brawl knock off.

I'd diss microsoft's advancements but they are mostly pc originating concepts implemented into console form.

When are people going to at least accept the most forward thinking and active presence in gaming is actually nintendo?

Don't be mad because they have some of the best known, longest running, and well handled franchises in gaming.

[MySwordIsHeavenly]

Nintendo may have done a few of those things first, but they didn't necessarily do them the best.

The problem is games. Nintendo is just releasing the same franchises year after year...and have been since they became a video game company. :/

Sony is releasing tons of new games every year. I just downloaded Datura last night. Nothing on the Nintendo platform is like it. I doubt anything ever will be like it. Nintendo is a business, first and foremost. They took the risk on Wii because they had to.

I love Nintendo just as much as every other gamer should. I just think they've been outdone in every way.

You forgot to add, first company to sell out it's core user base.

[Shnazzyone]

@Denethor That's not even an argument, Nintendo has marketed to everyone it's entire existence. Becoming popular compared to other companies is not selling out, it's becoming successful.

I suppose you could say xbox and sony copied their strategy then with kinekt and move so are you saying they all sold out their fanbase too?

@myswordheavenly Fluidity, push-mo, kid icarus: Uprising. Nintendo has easily as many new game franchises then sony right now.

[Tonester925]

I want a true 1-to-1 fighting game with the PS Move controllers.

[BitbyDeath]

Get The Fight: Lights Out. Brilliant game.
That said I wouldn't mind a sequal or someone else to challenge them.

[Tonester925]

I watched the gameplay on Youtube. Do people still play that online?

[BitbyDeath]

Could not say, i haven't played it in a while and when i did it was mainly for workout sessions.

I preferred the offline...

[Getowned]

No idea if people play it online but its kinda difficult to play when you first start playing because the game makes you inaccurate and weak at the start. once you do training and lvl up your charactor it gets a lot better but be warned this game will whip you into shape and kill you! you will feel like you were in a fight with a ghost lmao. I was actually playing it an hour ago. I hope they make a number 2 or a boxing game! and work on

get it. BUT make sure you lvl up and heres a tip the speed bag is your friend! you can make a lot of points really fast on it. the game is picky and takes time to get use to but dont give up :P

I prefer the offline as well.

[Tapioca Cold]

Don'forget to keep paying for XboxLive! That's innovation! People of the future pay for what should be free!!!

[kent80082007]

This gen is when the worst things ever introduced into the industry become popular- DLC, 3D, motion control, fps and online passes...

[Ck1x]

If you don't like it then don't buy it! But most games that support motion controls also offer the classic way to play as well. so what are you people crying about? Motion controls are probably the best thing this generation to happen to FPS's period... there is no way in Hell that people can realistically think that a dual analogue set-up is superior to a motion+ Wiimote and if they do then im glad that im not as short-sighted as those people are then.

[kent80082007]

If they make motion control on games play like RE4 on wii then of course it's a good thing, but from what I see the only thing they seem to have done so far is "shake and throw grenades", "shake to melee" and other kinds of shits, these things do nothing to help you immerse into the game, if anything they draw you out of the experience and are annoying as heck
