I don't care what Microsoft does secretly behind the scenes as long as it means a better quality product. So my question is, does this update help? I've been putting off buying either next-gen system until they've gone through a few revisions. If this one fixes the overheating issues, I might just go out and buy one.
It seems to me like the only way you could use Wifi as a positioning system is if you had 3 WiFi points at known locations and you used the signal strength for each of them to triangulate your position. Even then it would be very limited range and wouldn't be very reliable. I would much rather see this game ship with a GPS device that you put in the GBA port.
The main reason I don't like the MMO genre is because it feels more like I'm giving commands to a character rather than actually being that character. I think it has a lot to do with the UI. Also, I hate the language that's used in MMOs: tank, spec, buff, grind. It really takes me out of the experience. I'm not a hard core role player by any means, but I would much rather hear NPCs having conversations than people shouting "lfg".
That said, I would love to see more single player RPGs have optional co-op modes for maybe 4-8 players. No monthly fees and the joy of playing with other people.
I love my RAZR. My only complaint right now is the lack of RTSP video. I really hope this one supports that because all the other features sound great! It also better have the standard USB port as well!
Spiderman 2 was great, but once you reach your maximum abilities the web slinging loses some of its awesomeness. Plus I can only tolerate so many children losing their balloons.
