    Got some nice looking games coming out, glad there's more open world ones. I just hope there's not too many, that could get old quick. But it's still a nice concept...

    As for the new consoles, I'm really torn about how I feel about the new controller. It sounds like it could end up sucking but maybe I'm being too biased about anything even close to touch screens? I like them sometimes but it just seems really out of place here. At least it's only for the start, select, and PS buttons though. Anything else and...no.

    Anyway... The Xbox new system seems like a bad idea, imo, especially if we end up moving there will be such a limit on internet access. Not to mention others who already have a limit. I just hope the thing about it not being able to accept used games remains as just a rumor, because used games is normally all I can get.

    Microsoft responded to the rumors of the requirement of an always-on internet connection and the blocking of second-hand games:

    So they're neither confirming nor denying...

    There's a rumor that every PS4 will be bundled with a "dual camera":

    I don't really know anything about video gaming, so I don't know what is likely to happen and what is not likely to happen as far as the next generation goes, but since I didn't participate in the current generation consoles, I'm hoping that I'll participate in the coming generation. But if there is any truth to a lot of these rumors regarding contracts and mandatory online gamine, I want nothing to do with it.
    I'm not sure if it's been posted here but I've heard the rumor that used games will not be a thing in the coming generation because Microsoft and Sony somehow plan to make only new games playable, and not second hand games. If that is even remotely true, I'm out. If it's true that you will have to be online no matter what when playing a game, I'm out.
    I honestly think a lot of these rumors are simply nothing more than rumors, but seeing as how online has become such a big part of everything and how companies have become less concerned with what the consumer wants, I wouldn't be too surprised if there turned out to be some truth to them.

    (the only thing I'm worried about are any new KH games coming to the next gen consoles, because then I will have to buy them)

    I just hope that the L2 R2 don't become even more like triggers like Xbox controller... I really liked them in Ps2, then in Ps3 they changed (probably because of all shooter games), but shooter games aside in other games they became a drag.. keep pressing triggers arent as confortable as pressing buttons.

    Will have to adjust to that but actually better than I imagined, which caused some dread. So now not really worrying about it.

    hmm, I don't know, I'm not liking the controller tbh. Then again, it's probably because I've been used to Dualshock for such a long time

    I was under the impression that Dualshok sixaxis (the one of Ps3) was great, but some people told me that they didn't like the analogs said they were slipery, I never had problem with them.. I didn't like that much of the L2/R2 as triggers, they were still better than the one in Xbox (when you are not playing a shooter game triggers just get in the way).
    This new controller seems great, but kinda ugly (but I expect the final version to be cooler), The touchpad will help cross gaming with Ps vita, the share button will allow everybody to make their own gameplays videos in youtube.. and if I am seeing correctly that might be a microphone (that or a sound exit close to the Ps button), also close to the Ps button there is a phone conection.. so with your Ps4 controller you will be able to have an automatic Headset with low cost.
