I don't know how to feel about RE7 being in development... I'm not exactly psyched for it. Honestly, I'd rather see another ZombiU game than a Resident Evil.

@jlenoconel No one's saying it's a bad console. People are only saying (me included) that the library of games is lacking... utterly lacking.

@jlenoconel A console is only as good as the games it offers. Wii U needs more titles.

@Harbinger_CR If it is good then people will buy it on their own... but we need to have the option to make that choice for ourselves. Right now there's nothing out there though to motivate people to buy it... no decent games or interactivity with it that will really matter in the long run... cause and effect... first we need to see what it can do, then people will buy it

@WilHiteWarrior @Harbinger_CR Because alone the kinect sold 20million, while the 360 has sold 80million, that means that the Kinect market is smaller and making games for it is a bigger risk for developers, but if you include the kinect with the xbox than the market for kinect is bigger and more and better games can be made for it.

@Harbinger_CR @WilHiteWarrior kinect specific games won't be much better that they are now. But I do agree that it will allow for top developers to find other ways for the kinect to have some parcial aplication in their otherwise normal games. I can see the potential for AAA games to use it in specific tasks or mini-games.

I hate when people talk about the "upgraded capabilities" the new kinect has. We have seen none of it. Its just what people telling us it has. Drop the kinect and the price and more people will buy the fucking thing.

I hope Capcom actually learns from their mistakes for once and finally makes the RE game that the true fans have been dreaming of since RE4. As much as I would love to believe that RE7 will be all about the "survival-horror", they said the same exact crap about RE6...

In the worst case scenario, at least we will have The Evil Within, even though that game looks like it has a heavy "action" design to it, just like RE4-6...

No no...People hate Microsoft for very valid reasons...reasons people dont want to talk about. Theres a few BIG reasons.

1. Kinect Spy tool: Theyre essentially mixing poison into peoples Desert and saying "enjoy" Weather its for advertisers or the Nsa noone should compromise YOUR rights by abusing technology intended to be used for motion control to pry on the personal lives of someone just because they buy a gaming console.

2. No Bill Gates. When the Xbox 360 first launched Bill Gates had this plan for it to be a living room media device yes but first and foremost it was supposed to be a video game console based around Direct X. Bill did alot to attract developers from all over the world to develop games on the 360..thats why it was the staple console of current gen. When Bill Gates left Microsoft they adopted this idea of lets make rinse and repeat shooters and sell based on the name of a game rather than a quality library. This is a KEY reason why I wont buy Xbox One. Neither should any smart gamer.

3. 180 debacle. OK I wont get into repeating all of what they did cause everyone knows what they tried to push down gamers throats this past summer when they announced the Xbox One. They pretty much took most of it back but its not all gone. You cant jump into a swimming pool full of poo and then brush it off...the smell is still there!

4.Games. The only original looking game they have in their lineup is Ryse and I have a strong feeling that that game is shovelware. like I mentioned in #2 the launch lineup is weak, lackluster and non-diverse. Just rinse and repeat shooters. There are no games not even TitanFall(which I can get on my Pc and 360 anyway) that warrant a MUST BUY of the Xbone.

5. What noone else talks about: Price. The fact that the system price is 500 dollars for a weaker system than the Ps4 the question noone seems to be discussing is what else do I have to spend money on besides that 500 dollar purchase? While every system is going to require you to get accessories. Microsoft is notorious for milking Accessory costs as mandatory purchases. Also there will be other costs connected with Xbox Live and use of the cloud. that's one of the reasons why they sing the song, :The Cloud, The Cloud ,The Cloud" Its because they plan to charge you for using it!

@IanNottinghamX Yeah, they completely lost me with the policy of cramming abusive DRM down our throats and telling us how great it was that they now have control over everything and we have control over nothing. That is why I jumped on the Sony bandwagon. The other thing is paying $500 for a machine that is about half games and half television crap. We already have all of that other junk, why do we need our gaming console to do it? PS4 is just the better console for gamers, more power, less bullcrap we don't want.

On the part of Ubisoft delaying Watch Dogs, I enjoyed Rayman Legends very much so I think it's great that they're taking time to refine and prepare this game too. I do hope Watch Dogs stands out from GTA though. Glad to see the Wii U community will have more members too; I'm sentimental when it comes to Nintendo.

Bravo! Good job new GameSpot in this pro-Microsoft campaign. "Plenty of people are just hating the thing [Xbox One] because they don't like Microsoft." Where did you get that conclusion from miss? We didn't wake up some morning starting hating Microsoft. Microsoft tried to apply on Xbox One the most absurd and insulting drm we've ever seen, and despite taking back most of it, they still go with the Kinect-Big Brother feature. Xbox One backlash is not just a case of Sony vs Microsoft fan-boys war, it's much more than that, it's about our rights as gamers and consumers.

@Rheinmetal I couldn't agree more! I have an Xbox and and a Xbox 360, but it was the DRM that made me realize MS has made abusing customer rights their default policy. Yes, they took most of it back under the gun, but they clearly wanted it pretty bad, which makes me think they will start sneaking it back in as soon as the sell enough XB1s. I'll bet they just don't want to give Sony a huge head start.

@Rheinmetal HEY, no one gives Microsoft shit like I give Microsoft shit. I'm just saying that if a magazine that is well respected can point out some positives and certain people choose to say "Nahhh XBONE STILL CRAP" then that isn't really taking all the information on board, they just don't want to hear it whether it's valid or not. Which is why I asked all of you whether it was valid. You may not have woken up thinking that but some people are just happy to ride the hate train.

Mostly, I'm on board with you.

@tempertress @Rheinmetal I see what you're saying. Truth is truth even if it happens to benefit something you dislike for your own reasons. One shouldn't deny facts out of spite.

There are positive aspects of the system, I wouldn't fault that magazine for having an opinion.

@AngelsongCA @tempertress @Rheinmetal I agree with Popular Mechanics in that the x1 unit is impressive in technological capabilities. Whether it is a better gaming device, that's up for debate. However, it's the company that created it that I'm having trouble supporting.

Ubisoft is permanently scrolled into my burn book but not because of some delay. Rather, it has more to do with uPlay, DRM and their rather silly anti-PC sentiment. I actually prefer that devs delay games and release quality than release something horrendously buggy. That said, I can understand why some console players may be angry though, given that his was pretty much the biggest launch title next-gen gamers had to look forward to.

Bringing RE back to its roots? What a joke. The new games are terrible and there's no going back. Unless... You give the fans what they've ALWAYS been asking for: a full and proper RE2 remake with old school fixed camera angles and an optional(!) over-the-shoulder cam. Combine RE2 & RE3's storyline into one game for maximum OOMPH! Seriously, Capcom, this is what we want. Do it.

@SpookyJack I only partially agree with you. Yes, I would like them to go back to their roots and bring the scary back from RE1 and RE2, but the old school fixed camera angles are very frustrating to go back to (I have done it). I would prefer a modern remake of those first two games. I will never forget in RE2 when the birds crashed through the window and scared me so bad I had to put down the controller and take a break from the game. Wow, that was a scare!

I'm calling BS on the Wii U selling 685% for the week since no journalists have actually provided any quantitative numbers on the claim, last time such a claim was made it was a big fat lie and wasn't based on an quantitative figures but instead on qualitative figures of the Wii U jumping on Amazon UK's game sales rankings for a single day, which was actually worse news when you look at it because sales spiked then due to ASDA liquidating their Wii U inventory with a firesale and competing retailers dropped price to stay competitive not realizing it was a firesale until they realized ASDA was all sold out and not getting anymore back. Anyhow, no hard figures I take news of the Wii U doing better as far fetched desperate bullshit form Nintendo.

@lamprey263 Try again. They didn't lie. The sales did jump up 685% for one week. You are stating that this amount is inconsequential in the grand scheme of things but that is not what they are debating. They are saying that a system with poor sales has had a week with not-poor sales. That's all....hater. ;)

@lamprey263 All this means is that sold roughly 8 times more than usual, in one month.

Since Wii U sales are so dismal, it's not that hard to imagine that sales can increase 8-fold. Zelda is a big deal.

But next month, I fully expect most of this increase to be reversed.
