E3 2013

[ThePaul]

Howdy folks, seems like the first shots have been fired in the next console wars, Kingdom Hearts 3 might no longer be one of the punch lines in a long list of III's that you'll never see, and Kirby will be able to steal Megaman's power to steal Evil Robot's powers.

So, let's talk about what really matters here, Magic: The Gathering 2014.

Yeah E3 2013 Looks great so far I'm still looking at videos and other things I miss going to E3s I need to go back to one someday... ;____: they are so close to me!

Looking so forward. Am hyped for Mega Man, Wii Fit trainer is amusing, can't wait for Kingdom Hearts 3...Gonna have to buy a PS4 even though I HATE the current backwards compatibility stance.

Hopefully having the disc in the drive will let us stream the game for free...

But market research says hardly anyone uses that.

Research doesn't lie

[Soeroah]

If you're implying market research shows that people use the non-gaming features in consoles more often than gaming I'll be very disappointed.

All I want is the ability to play my PS3 games at a moment's notice without ten minutes of setting the system up.

Here's a good video on why they do this to us:

Hmm... I dunno about that, but I'd like to see more research before I decide whether or not the lack of backwards compatibility is truly lame. Anyways, I'm so happy to see Sony kicking butt for the next gen. Already can't wait for KH3 and FFXV. The latter is going far from typical JRPG's, but I like to think of it like a mix of KH and DMC in terms of gameplay and attitude. Also, Battlefront is coming back. I'm so pumped for giantass space battles, you have no idea. I knew they wouldn't kill Battlefront!!! I just knew it!!!

On the Nintendo side of things, we're getting so much in the next couple years that it's gonna be insane. Please tell me you guys have the new Pokemon pre-ordered I'm gonna need people to play with over internet when I have nothing else to do! Smash Bros with Mega Man is also going to be amazing. I want to main him for sure.

Hmmm... I thought for sure they talked at least a little bit about technology constraints in that video, but I guess not. Short story short, Wii U does it because it's the same frame work, PS2 did it because it was super simple to emulate PS1, and Microsoft doesn't do it because they can't make more money off it


Edit: No, I don't think I'll be playing Pokemon with ya. Game just doesn't do it for me any more.
