I think the Legacy of Kain games would make a good collection

You guys have been fairly adamant in regards to your stand on Sony and Microsoft's first step into motion control gaming. What has to happen to their innovations for you to alter your viewpoint on them? I feel that the Kinect is a step in the right direction, what with its voice recognition software and all, and think that if done correctly Child of Eden could be a truly memorable Kinect experience.

With Portal 2 coming to the PS3, do you feel it will get the support the dev's stated at E3? Or will the support fall short like "The Orange Box" on XBOX 360? I like the idea of it coming to the PS3, but why purchase it on a console, if I can get greater support from Steam on the PC.

Hello Adam and the glorious Feedback panel,
You guys have mentioned your lack of enthusiasm for 3D gaming. I was wondering if any of you have played a current title (more than a demo) in 3D? After watching all the recent 3D movies, I was quite skeptical myself, and I must say current 3D games have impressed me quite a bit. I have to take a step back and explain. I stumbled across 3D capabilities in my PC about 2 weeks ago. With four dollars out of pocket I was able to score some nvidia 3D Discover glasses off the web and all of a sudden I'm playing BFBC2 in full 3D. I'll be the first to admit the red and blue glassed (that are nvidia discover) suck every bit of color out of the game. But the fact remains that the 3D was astounding. The ability to actually place enemies in a true 3D plane gave me a tactical advantage. I wanted to look at something completely different next so I turned on the Prince of Persia rehash. Stunning! The added depth really made the game more enjoyable.(not play different but more enjoyable) For the first time, running down a hallway with swinging axes and spike pillars was enjoyable! I could actually see the depth between each trap and maneuver accordingly. So, if my broke ass can give 3D a full fledged (minus color) try and easily see the benefits, my question is to you Adam and esteemed panel.....Have you played a full game in 3D??

p.s. I heard Arkum Asylum is incredible in 3D. Just a thought.

Talk about OnLive and the future of Cloud gaming. OnLive seriously BLEW ME AWAY when I first played it. I got in on a 2Mbps connection and had minimal problems with latency. Of course it was that slow because my ISP (Clear/Clearwire) sucks.

With a 6Mbps connection that is becoming a standard today, you can stream games in glorious High Definition, and on top of that, the MicroConsole that is being released will be cheaper than any console out there, and deliver HD gaming. You can play in Standard Definition on a 2Mbps connection, but it is still in the BETA stages and only HD is supported right now.

It has a lot of cool features too like Arena, which lets you watch other people play in Real Time and record clips of you playing which they call Brag Clips.

It really is a cool service, and it deserves more attention. You guys should try it out for yourselves and give your impressions of it on Feedback. Here's the site if you want to check it out: www.OnLive.com

With only Xplay and small segments of AOTS dedicated to video games on the video game network, I wonder why some of the digital shows aren't doing on the television. I don't actually know what most of the Gs stand for in the network name, but I'm sure none of them are "Spike TV rip off". Cops sucks.

Why aren't the online shows like Feedback aired on the television?

I'm sure there are those in the industry that watch Feedback, Lucasarts is really good at keeping up with fan base. I had a Yahoo group once that was a star wars rpg and was contacted by Lucasarts to put up an add for the Ep 2 plug and play game. So I'm sure they have people that watch Feedback, and other gaming media.
Having a lightsaber game would be great but only if its a good lightsaber game. From the demo this one looks shaky, I hope that is because its only a demo. Though I think that it would work better on the Wee or PS Move just because the controller can be used as the hilt. Though I guess that a broom handle or toy saber hilt could work.

Do you guys feel more powerful now that Microsoft appears to have heard your "FeedBack" about "Light Saber Game"? The first thing I thought (and maybe that's sad) when I saw the Kinect demo was "Hey that's "Light Saber Game!!! Someone with some power was listening!" Do you guys feel that you have influenced game creation personally, and/or through expressing your thoughts on Feedback? Have you ever seen a game made and thought to yourself, wow that was my idea?

What are the group's thoughts on Hulu Plus? At $9.99/mo, couldn't I just get most of those from DVD box sets on Netflix (Roswell, Dresden Files)? What am I really getting that I don't already have access to though my PC in some way?

Has Nintendo's innovating left everyone else imitating? In your opinion why does Nintendo seem to lead the way in gaming hardware creation? Let me know if I m wrong but weren t they the first: 64-bit system (N64), first touch screen system (DS), Virtual Boy, first handheld console (GameBoy), and on and on? Do you think it s healthy for Sony and Microsoft to try to ride the Nintendo motion control wave? And if so do you think that precludes a Sony touch screen PSP2? Or, some sort of Microsoft handheld?
Why do you think Microsoft seems to be dumbing-down Natal into Kinect? Where s Milo and all the cool stuff the demoed in days gone by?
Will the new Rock Band really teach players how to play instruments, or is going to be like the History lesson we got in Assassin s Creed 2 that required you to do some homework to really get it . Do people want to learn in the games they buy, do you guys want to learn in the games you play?
How soon is too soon to talk about the next set of games we d like to see?

Dear Feedback Singularity came out this week and i heard its story campaign is very strong but only 8 hours and Multiplayer is limited to Team Death Match and something like Domination. I have been excited for this game and it has been getting good reviews and a strong Multiplayer connection but are all of these make it a buy if it has a Short Campaign mode?

With Kinect coming out for the Xbox and services like ESPN, Netflix and Hulu Plus being offered do you believe Microsoft might be moving away from labeling the 360 a game console to when they come out with their next product as an entertainment console? Where you no longer need a keyboard or a controller and can go through email, television, news, movies anything you want in front of your own television. I don't think the Kinect is for gaming, I think its being used as proof of concept to the Minority Report device that might be coming next. I won't be surprised if the next Xbox steps away from gaming and moves towards this new direction. Just look at the launch of the original 360 to what the device does now.

Dear Feedback,
Do you think that activision is relying to heavly on the Call of duty games? I ask this because the only game other then black ops to come out this year is Singularity. A good game but maybe they should try other ideas other wise they could dry up ther cash cow? Is call of duty getting dry and activision should diverse in games or should they continue with there current run?

Hello Feedback!
Everyone seemed to unanimously scratch their heads at the Cel-Shaded/Impressionistic look of Zelda: Skyward Sword in your E3 Feedback. However, looking at the graphics, while the realism of Twilight Princess might be missing, the polygons are definitely higher. Regardless, this raises a question about what kind of graphics you all prefer in games. Is a grittier, darker, more subdued color scheme with realistic faces better, or is the bright, colorful, and vivid style more pleasing? Additionally, one can note that the faces and expressions in Wind Waker are much more appealing than those in Twilight Princess, even though TP's are more "realistic." Which style is necessarily preferable? The more realistic but wooden style of TP, or the charming and expressive style of WW?

I was really disappointed with Microsoft's press conference. Besides Gears of War 3 and Halo Reach, I don't really see anything else that is exciting coming out from Microsoft's lineup. The Kinect doesn't seem to have any software that would make me spent the rumored $150.00 for it and compared to the Playstation Move and Nintendo Wii, it looks very unappealing to me. What do think Microsoft should do to make Kinect a hit like the Nintendo Wii was when it was first released and can they even compete with Nintendo when over a 10 million people worldwide already own a Wii?

There hasn't been much talk about Medal of Honor. Call of Duty: Black Ops has stolen the spotlight based on the name. But with Infinity Ward gone could we see Medal of Honor make a comeback? Or am I just wasting $60 when I could wait another month for Black Ops.
