Let's talk about 3 things: PS4, more about Xbox One, and E3 2013

We've got a few things to talk about, folks. First off, PS4. In an earlier post I said I was looking more forward to PS4 than Xbox One. I've always liked both Xbox and Xbox 360 and all three PlayStations. However, the next Xbox isn't what I hoped for, so PS4 sounds great to me. I am disappointed online play is no longer free, that's the only part that sounds dumb to me. Other than that, seems legit. Next is a follow-up to my post focusing on Xbox One. It just seems crappier the more information we get on it. I just don't know what the heck we're gonna do about this. I also learned the camera can talk to you, remember your identity and ask an unrecognized person to identify themselves. It also has remote play where you can have a friend take over playing a video game you can't beat and beat it for you if they're far away, using Skype. That sounds pretty cool. So does the talking camera, but it's also kinda sketchy, just like how the Kinect won't turn off. So, honestly, I only really like one thing about it. That's bad news for Microsoft because a lot of people are on the same page. Thirdly is E3 2013. I heard that there were some disappointments to some of the things revealed at this year's E3. The Xbox One's price is ridiculous ($499, what the heck?); lame Mario and Donkey Kong games coming up; that Link to the Past sequel isn't happening, just a Wind Waker remake; and, of course, the unfortunate news of online play for PS4 not being free. Super Smash Bros. 4 seems to be the only thing revealed by the guys at E3 to look forward to. This generation might be tough to avoid and an impossible one to skip. Hopefully, a miracle in the video game industry may happen in either Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony or (in most hopes) all three.

Let's talk about a Dragon Ball Z live action movie

Lots of DBZ fans like me would really love to see a live action DBZ movie after over 20 years of seeing animated ones. However, the 2009 film Dragonball: Evolution obviously shouldn't count. It was a complete fiasco. Four years ago, my friend had told me about it after seeing it. Preferring Z over the original Dragon Ball, we thought it was pretty cool. It was only cool because it was the first attempt close to good. After that, I've developed Dragonballmovieimpossiblephobia, the fear of it being impossible to make a successful live-action adaption of Dragon Ball Z. When I saw that K&K Productions was making a fan-made trailer for a DBZ movie that wouldn't even be made, I was convinced they were actually making the movie. My ADHD got the best of me and I was sad to find out there was no movie and only the trailer. Honestly, I just don't know what Hollywood can do. Sometimes I feel like we think Hollywood can make movies of anything, but our technology surprisingly isn't quite ready for something like this. I'd turn to Steven Spielberg, J.J. Abrams or Michael Bay if I was looking for someone to direct something so awesome. Until, it's living with what we have of this epic piece of anime.

Let's talk about Xbox One

Microsoft is definitely making advancements in technology in Windows, computers, phones and of course the Xbox. Anyone could have known they'd make a third Xbox. I was excited at first, but when I got my first glimpse at the Xbox One, I definitely wasn't impressed. No one else seems too impressed either after what I've heard. Following what I said on my "Xbox One vs PS4" post, I've kept my position at my opinion on the new Xbox, and tons more people are on and are joining my side. More and more I see commercials and stuff, and it almost makes me want to completely hate it. I mean, hey. Microsoft has a lot of competition: Apple, Nintendo, Sony, etc. They're trying to keep people from forgetting who they are. Maybe you shouldn't be so negative about this upcoming system. Right now, they're getting real competitive with their opposing companies. They have been working on awesome phones, amazing updates to Windows 8, and although their effort on making a new Xbox was very good, they put just maybe a little too much effort and not enough planning. Name's clever. Still plays games. However, too much focus on TV. I just don't know what's gonna happen, but let's be brave, people. Prepare yourselves for the not-so-worst days of gaming yet.
