Right...That's why it would be called the "future" of gaming. I have a 10 mbps connection at my house right now and it runs OnLive just fine. I play OnLive over my old 802.11g router.

The thing that is frustrating for me is that everything is getting geared towards online multiplayer gaming. Which I personally don't really like. I go online COD every once in a while, but I actually enjoy the single player campaigns on games. Seems like eventually that won't exist, and that makes me sad.

I just hope it doesn't come to a state where if you don't have internet connection you can't play the game. Would annoy the crap out of me, as here in Iowa there will ALWAYS be days when snow/tornadoes/thunderstorms/angry cows bring down the internet.

Exactly. I just got 2 new games, Masters '12 and F1 2011, and the first thing they both do when you fire them up is connect to live, push you to go play on live and ask you if you want to go on with redeeming codes etc. it's annoying.

Happened in PC world kinda as everyone has dropped bot play in games, forcing you to play online.

Bot play programing was the future of AI, just as it started to get good they drop it.

I agree with you here. I don't mind online play, I'm just not very good and can't keep up with all the people who hone their skills all day and night long. What upsets me is how short the story modes are. COD especially. Here's a game on a BluRay disc on PS3 and the story mode only takes a few hours to beat. They could put so much more into it.

Hilarious. I have 2 friends who have had this happen twice. Other problem with XBOX is the numerous game hacks. Playstation for life!

I RARELY play online. I get much more enjoyment playing the campaigns and going one on one against a friend at my house rather than playing online. I do agree that many of the campaigns are far shorter than they should be.

haha nobody has even mentioned the Wii U yet, though not too surprising 'cause Nintendo hasn't done too much in the past couple years. I'm interested in seeing how playing with that controller will be like. I won't be buying the Wii U 'til i try out that controller.

from what I heard about the "new" xbox it will just be an update, which I can agree with because when you look at games like MW3 and Skyrim the graphics are amazing so what's the point in releasing a new console that will make their originals obsolete?

Really...Why not take Apples approach to "new" items. The iPhone became the iPhone 3G, then the 3GS, 4, and now the 4S. Nothing MAJOR changed and almost everything is still compatible through the line. Faster hardware, more memory, voila...Development costs would be less, and hell...Game consoles cost less than cell phones and iPads.
