After Final Fantasy XIII and XIV I wouldn't say I'm entirely excited for this one. In essence it looks like an action game that will, at the least, have some light RPG elements. That isn't how I envision the series, a series known for it's slow, meticulous combat. But do you know what? I'm willing to give this ago. I'll give them one more chance to reinvent the series for the good. If this isn't good them I'm finished with it.

"We will not be punished for the sins committed by so many companies. The industry has been losing money the last few years, but that dip into the red is not because we have the freedom to buy and sell whatever game we desire. No, it's the reckless spending so many companies are guilty of, pouring millions upon millions of dollars into a budget when there is no chance the market will buy enough copies to support that investment. It's the deluge of soulless sequels that have been churned out and die on the shelf because consumers can see through their brown and grey façade. We are not the cause of these problems and should not be punished for them."

Say what you like about Tom McShea, but he hit the nail firmly on the head here. Well done Tom.

That video made me pee my pants :P So glad the news regarding the PS4 is good, I will definitely be a two console gamer now next gen. I'll just upgrade my PC instead of buying an Xbox One.

It's only a gold PSONE model. Now, if it was a gold version of the regular PlayStation model, I may feel a little envious.

I play old games because, quite simply, I find them a lot more enjoyable that the boring, bland, crappy new 'AAA' experiences today. There are still some great games today, don't get me wrong, but I feel they lack the charm found in many of the older games that were made when gaming wasn't as popular in the mainstream. To call somebody 'backwards' for playing old games is utterly idiotic.

@cousinmerl The name Wii did it's job perfectly. It was easy to say and everyone remembered it. Not to say it was a great name, but it served its purpose well. The Wii U, on the other hand, it just pointless. It was Nintendo's way of trying to recapture the success of Wii (yeah, that's worked so far). I still feel they should have called it the Nintendo Entertainment System 2.

I completely understand the point Warren Spector was trying to make, although I feel he may have gone about it in the wrong way. This has made him look a little obnoxious, especially when he made a sequel to Epic Mickey. Not that Epic Mickey was a totally bad game, it had potential, but it didn't really warrant a sequel. And even if it did warrant a sequel the sequel should have fixed the issues of the original instead of making new ones. But I suppose I can let him off, especially when you consider some of the games he has made in the past.

Just want so say Dan, you're the best editor working for GameSpot. It seems every video you do is good for different reasons.

@SaladSniffer Don't be so insensitive.
