@WhiteTulip1 Maybe Ubisoft realize that and that's why they delay it in order to desperately include something to make it look better than GTA V.

@WhiteTulip1 I suspect that it won't hit the right chords with some people, but I seriously doubt that it will outright suck. It is their latest IP that has gathered gameplay mechanics slowly assembled over time. Free-running starting with Prince of Persia, stealth beginning with Same Fisher, crowd mechanics beginning with AC. I personally have high hopes.

they messed up a bit.. they must have meant to say the xbone is the most innovative piece of crap of all time and a top breakthrough in dickheadedness. it's evolutionarily backwards and revolutionarily bad. .. also I have no idea who the host is, but she is damn beautiful and i love the British accent, for her it works great. and if there's a new RE, it will probably be crap.. like the the recent games.. RE4 was the last good RE game and even that was almost too different from the survival horror that defined the series.. They need to have the over the shoulder shooting controls and inventory system of RE4, bring back zombies, some can be fast moving if they want, and make it fun again.. Remember that Capcom? when the RE series was fun? RE1,2,3, RE1 Gamecube Remake,RE4 on Gamecube... Bring back what worked, and only change whats truly didn't work.... make it survival horror again. maybe reboot it? and if so i better hear the Jill sandwich joke again, it's corny as hell, but it's famous.

@thekazumalord Actually it's Australian. I was thinking of making a "former British" joke but then recalled that Jeremy Clarkson already had that well covered on Top Gear.

Why do you think the XB1 is not innovative as it is or as it was originally conceived? As a dev tool it had some pretty nifty ideas. Yeah online-always was a major turnoff, but as a developer tool it opens some interesting doors.

I don't understand the hate for Xbox One either, I mean like, did people ever hate on each other because they had a different brand VCR? I'm pretty interested in the whole voice-command functionality, Microsoft really does have something useful here, and I look forward to the day where I'll never have to look around for the television remote again and just talk to the TV or whatever device is in my entertainment center. In my opinion, Sony definitely messed up with that; they used to be the kings of the entertainment center, but now the Xbox One might actually be the device that controls everything else. Regardless, ever since I first got a job and could afford multiple consoles, I've bought Sony/Sega, then Sony/MS, Sony/MS again, and now will definitely buy Sony/MS again.

Now to make my intelligent comment: since when did Gamespot get such a cute host? There's been a dearth of good female gaming hosts since G4TV went defunct, so I'm glad to see more gender diversity in gaming news.

@kwanzudood I think the hate was "Thank you for buying this VCR! Now that you've recorded something on it, your tape is now tied exclusively to this device. This is for your own good, not ours. Thank you and have a wonderful day!"

REs roots are just two things: 1. Horror. 2. Bad Acting! If they can pull those two things off with RE7 they will officially be back to their roots!

@No_SuRReNDeR I'll buy it eventually for Last Story, a replay of Wind Waker, a replay of Twighlight Princess, and (hopefully eventually) Xenoblade. And maybe some future Wii U exclusives.

@amdreallyfast @No_SuRReNDeR Why dont you just play those games on the consoles they were intended for instead of buying a new system for them?

@spyderbyte84 @amdreallyfast @No_SuRReNDeR I choose the WiiU in the possibly vain hope that some really game will come to the system.

@ZombieGuyGeorge

Used game shops, Ebay and Amazon make it easy to find anything in working condition. I have only had success.

@spyderbyte84 @amdreallyfast @No_SuRReNDeR Have your tried to get a dreamcast and one copy of soul calibur? or a NES in good conditions to play yo-noid? some stuff is not that easy to do. for instance i'd love to play darkmoon on my pc but windows no longer supports that kind of msdos graphics and buying a 30 punds floppy is actually a no-no for me.
