    In reply to Microsoft: Project Natal Can Replace The TV Remote
    You know, all of you negative-ninnys, the naysayers, the cynical, I wish you guys would be more open to new experiences. After all, we're suppose to be the "new" generation, the ones who have had the benefit of going through and seeing all of these "technological revolutions." The old guard, so to speak, is suppose to be out. You don't think people said the same thing about the microwave? The television? The radio?

    You guys sound like a bunch of grandpa's to me....

    I went to Gamestop this morning hoping for the PC version of L4D2 for 30 bucks, as well as MySims Agents for the Wii for 20 bucks for my gf, and they had neither game. Thanks for those great Black Friday specials! (BTW I was in the store at 6 when they opened. They didn't have them to begin with, it wasn't that they were sold out.)

    In reply to Super Street Fighter IV's Cody, Adon, And Guy In Pictures
    I must live in Bizarro Land. I told an old friend of mine about the SSF4, and he said "If Elena's not going to be in it, what's the point?"...

    ... and I totally agree with him. I'd also like to see Alex, Karin and Rolento (and I also thought that Oro should have been in Gouken's place, considering, ya know - GOUKEN IS DEAD!), but the fact that Elena is still ignored still makes it hard for me and many I know to care about this game.

    So, seriously - Do I live it Bizarro Land? Is Elena only popular where I live, or has Capcom been ignoring her for some other reason entirely?

    @the7k: Elena never got popular due to her relative low tier-ness in 3rd Strike.

    Also, Gouken can't be killed by Akuma's Raging Demon. Raging Demon can only send people who are evil to hell. Anyone else it's only supposed to hurt a bunch. Of course the people who come across Gouken after he gets the smack down laid upon himself don't know that.

    @MrTheMoopie:
    Usually, Elena is considered Mid-Tier, though. I never really understood why she wasn't considered higher, though - she is fast and strong. The only thing she lacks is defense, but ya know - just don't get hit.

    As for Gouken, we've been told all along, for quite some time, that Akuma killed Gouken pre-Alpha. Now, they say that wasn't the case. That's just a retcon. Considering Akuma also laid the Shin Goku Satsu upon M.Bison, should he also be dead?

    I just wasn't exactly happy with the whole idea of making yet another shotokan, even if he did have a few changes. Those changes could have been applied to the library of pre-existing shotokans to actually make there be a real reason to choose Ryu or Ken over Akuma.

    @Krackatoa was hit by a smooth criminal: Yeah, I understand that - but what about Adon?

    Plus, it would be nice to have her in for the sake of variety. We've already got a ninja (Vega), boxer (Balrog) and muai thai kick boxer (Sagat). Not that I'm against any of those characters being in, but c'mon. I'd like to see some interesting fighting styles.

    I dunno, I guess I just ain't that big of a Street Fighter II fan, so it kinda irks me that they saw fit to include every SF2 character, but very little of the SF3 cast. I understand SF2 is 'nostalgic' and 'classic' and other words that people think makes it superior, but at least attempt to balance out the cast.

    These monsters look a lot better than the ones they showed in the first batch of screenshots. Splatterhouse is one of my favorite nostalgic franchises, so one way or another I'm gonna play this. I just hope it doesn't disappoint.

    Dear Capcom,

    -Ibuki
    -Alex
    -Skullomania

    if Capcom is going all out to outdo the previous SF4, they might as well go whole hog, and stuff the roster with more awesome fighters and more specials etc.

    The only thing 'uncomfortable' about this game is how bad it looks.

    I get what they're going for but compared to the likes of Uncharted 2 it's just sad.

    MS....we're not the bestest friends but...do we REALLY need that? At all? In the slightest?

    Do you know the chaos that will amount from families shouting at each other because dad wants to watch ESPN and mom wants to watch Lifetime?

    Will it understand different languages? Slang?

    Just...just focus on the game implementations first then everything else. Don't start throwing out crazy things that are just going to make the thing overhyped more then it already is.

    That goes for you too Sony. Just make the damn thing WORK PROPERLY first...then promise that it can heal cancer, summon the Dragonzord or whatever.

    @Rachel Fogg: I guess you've forgotten that Microsoft and Sony do more than games. If anything their hand in the gaming industry is not their primary source of revenue. A device that has the potential to revolutionize the television experience has a target audience beyond the gaming community. It only makes sense that they would basically test it with games before trying to implement NATAL with other devices.

    No..I did not forget that...that wasn't my point.

    My point is do they really NEED to do that. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

    If it's successful when it's released then go on and waste money...but neither of them are released. So right now...narrowing your scope is a REALLY good idea.

    @Rachel Fogg: A broad scope lets them see what other areas the technology can be applied to. So if they fit several related ideas into a product, give it out to a large audience, and see what clicks with the consumer base they will have thousands of pieces of feedback. They then translate the feedback into various other products, upgrades, etc...

    And no reason to be worried. As with everything nowadays there will probably be options to turn off given features. And while this idea could go very wrong, it could also go very, very right. I'm interested at least.

    @Rachel Fogg: The biggest money in tech and entertainment has been in figuring out what people will want before they know they want it.

    Research and development is an essential part of progress anyway. Not everything will work out -- most of the time it won't, actually. But sometimes when it does, it works out in a huge way. Just look at the Wii or iPhone. Are you really going to rant against a giant company trying something new? They're eating the cost of developing it, what do we as consumers have to lose here?
