Last thing, not to make fun of half the responses here but, did it really blow you away that after the success of a game like Doom 2, they would eventually make a Doom 3?

It was ten or so years later, your telling me you weren't surprised. I was especially surprised since doom 2 is one of my all time favorite games.

Right, so I guess I'm an idiot, and I could have picked a better example, like San Andreas or Final Fantasy 10. But you know what I mean.

Did you know they're making a Final Fantasy 12, I was floored.

Floored? That the long-running and successful flagship series of a major game company is getting another sequel? It must not take much to surprise you.

It was announced a long time ago, too...

I didn't know they announced the 57th episode of The Land Before Time, best fucking show ever. THAT floored me.

dinosaur from the past

It's funny that they basically gave up and lost count some time ago.

Of course they did that at a number less than what Final Fantasy's at.

PwNzRd!

With those dinosaur movies you were mentioning, didn't they actually lose count and make, like, 2 of the same number movie by mistake? That would give a coronary to whoever is the accountant for that.

"GAH!"

I believe at one point they just ditched the number and threw in a title. Hey, didn't another topic lead to this? Why can't those damn dinosaurs stay out of our business?

Isn't it cute?

1. The Revolution Controller. I think it's one more step toward Virtual Reality as well.

2. Sega calling it quits in the hardware buisness. (I loved Sega back then and hated Nintendo with a passion.)

3. The Video Games Live concerts getting canceled for THE THIRD TIME!!! Angry

4. The absolute lack of news concerning Metriod Dread. (The 2D Metroid game maybe in development for the DS.)

5. My parents telling me that I was allowed to play video games again. ( I wasn't allowed for about 4 years.)

Side note: the virtual reality sensation rightfully died 10 years ago, and I am mostly qualified to say this.

I have to believe that you misinterpretted what I wrote. Like I said, you must abandon your conventional concept of virtual reality. Remember that PS2 commercial, back in the dawning of its life, where the kid was running around seemingly in a video game [the pitch was a fantasy premonition of PS9]..? This is the version I choose to anticipate, of virtual reality. I'm not referring to obstrusive goggles, bulky gloves, or anything else of that nature, and I believe the revolution controller is the first of what assuredly will be many steps towards total-immersion gaming.

As greater and greater strides are made in detection/interpretation of neural activity (control) and manipulation of sensory mapping (display), the possibility of a genuinely useful "virtual reality" will increase.

I am talking about augmented reality instead of virtual reality. If that is like what you are talking about too, then I agree with you. If you are talking more along the lines of neural stimulation and all that, that is currently too far off along the road to have practical current applications.

And maybe you should reread what I said as well. I said the virtual reality sensation died, not the concept of virtual reality itself. I don't have the research funding numbers right now to back this up, but I think I am right.

Speed is the key.

Now that i think about it, maybe the N64 release.

I mean the first 3D console, right?

Playstation.

I remember my cousin saying he was going to get a Playstation (release date). I imagined some sort of little-kiddy activity play-area thing and was really freaked out until I actually saw what it was.

The N64 came later obviously.
