Make up a crazy rumor about the next gen consoles

Huh???

Like, you went into this thread?

...Not quite.

...Anyone else wanna take this one?

So, I heard they've stopped lying and admitted we'll likely all hate the new consoles, and admitted they just don't care about our complaints.

The Wii U will ditch Nintendo's current model for online play and will incorporate Steamworks instead.

The first game to utilize this will be a new Pokemon Stadium game with fully customizable parties, full online multiplayer with dedicated server support, multiple rulesets and game modes, dynamic tiers, and more minigames than Mario Party.

@ Booky: I'll tell you when you're older.

Booky, all you need to know is that Nizbel was implying that he was extremely happy.

Ask your parents when you're older for a more descriptive explanation. Also, until you get a more descriptive explanation, never use the term yourself.

EDIT: Corrected which user said it.

But Beorc didn't say it, it was someone else.

Ok.

... In other subjects...

• Valve will release the Steambox, which lets you play any game you own on steam with a USB keyboard and mouse, which can also be upgraded with regular old computer parts. It's actually a PC running Steam 24/7, but no one will notice. Cue rage from Steam users everywhere.

Sony and Microsoft both agree that they lost touch with what gamers want and have made pure gaming platforms, not entertainment systems with good graphics, slick controls, and a wide variety of engaging, challenging, and fun games with no gimmicky motion movements, facebook integration, or other useless add ons gamers care little about.

Crazy huh?

There's nothing inherently wrong with Facebook or twitter integration in a game, if you want to show off your stuff. When it goes into the realm of Allegedly Free Games using facebook as a scapegoat, that's where I draw the line.

Maybe if they just stopped the gimmicks and just said "look, here's facebook, we'll post your trophies and whatever you're playing", instead of other dumb crap, it'd have a less wretched reputation.

The best selling next gen console will be the one that doubles as a toaster.

You know what they say: all gamers toast toast!

...The Nintoaster? If that happens, I'll give Nintendo all of my money. All of it.

All toasters BURN MY BREAAAAAD

*ahem*

Nintendo, HAL Laboratory, Insomniac, Naughty Dog, Sucker Punch, Rare, Sonic Team, Ubisoft, Team Meat, and Jonathan Blow all collaborate on a next-gen platforming game.

...that would be so cool >_>

If you take out Ubisoft, then yes, it would be.

• EA itself will collapse and the surviving companies that are under its grip will buy back their freedom and join up with Valve, Blizzard, Nintendo, and Sony to start creating good games. Any extra money left over will go into a fund for reviving the companies EA broke.

• There will be a new Overlord game where the sex scenes are optionally explicit.

• HL 2 E 3 will come out.

• The Creative Assembly will tackle a more modern Total War game and it will not suck. WW 1 Total War.

Gabe Newell will discover the number 3, and more shockingly, within a year, the number 4.
