Lots of announcements

Hello again,

Well it did not take too long to get the second post up today lol mostly because there is a lot of gaming news floating around. Have you been following CES? I haven't to be honest since I prefer full on gaming conventions but seems there is quite of bit new stuff been announced. So where to being I wonder, I guess lets start with the Kinect news!

Kinect for Windows

Kinect for the PC is finally coming out but it will be a separate camera altogether, meaning yes you have to buy another Kinect for the PC. What happened to the whole software patch to allow existing Xbox ones to work on your PC, not happy really. It is going around that it as "improvements" with picking people/objects up and can work closer to the sensor. Of course in America right now the price listed is higher then the Xbox version as well, just to rub salt into the wound.

Won't be buying one thank you very much, but I will not be shocked to see at E3 this year or in a few months an announcement saying they bringing out a "Kinect 1.5" that will work on both Xbox 360 and PC with all the new improvements included. In fact I'm going to create a new label E3-2012 and tag this post, let's see if this comes true.

Now while I was doing this rant a lovely piece of news appeared on twitter from shopto.net news, "No PS4 information this E3" YESSS!!. Hang on before you start fan boy yelling, I don't believe they need to bring out a new PlayStation or Xbox, they have only just started to get the potential out of the systems! its not time for a new console yet. We have not seen a full true HD game yet, or Bluray game! Uncharted is close but they still not gone full out. In fact check out this article on IGN which I found a really good read, I love the idea of just one box but doubt it will ever happen. IGN link

Good lord there are lots of rumour's now on twitter and real news as well, omg! Half-Life Episode 3....oh I hope that is true and it does come out this year, it's one of my all time favourite games. Actually come to think about it I did not finish Episode 2 off!!! *hangs head in shame* ok that's one game I really need to clock this year and Orange Box on the Xbox 360. 

Now lots of messages about Diablo for the console both saying its happening and not, nothing new there. I did love the Best Buy picture showing a poster in a store for 1st February midnight release. Scared me at first since there is already enough coming out February, but luckily Blizzard posted that there is no date and anyone advertising is just guessing.

Patches for Skyrim on PS3 to fix the lag, glad to hear that since I would like to play it one day and was getting slightly worried about the amount issues I was hearing. Ohhhh dlc for Dark Souls coming soon, dang! whats with everyone doing DLC...give me chance to start and finish your games. Really need to pick up the pace.

 Oh yeah did you see the news for Call of Duty? the domain name being bought for Black Ops 2. Like that was seen coming, I did enjoy the story and it could be pretty sweet. In fact I did like the bot multi player matches you could do it, shame Modern Warfare 3 did not have it. Oh yeah and did you see the news for the 20+ dlc to be done for MW3, dang that's a lot! wonder if all of it is included in the Elite subscription.

Anyway I'm going to stop here, no doubt there is a lot more information out there but I need to get some time on my games. Will post some more later, so see you soon
