Keep your raptor ass out of my video game forums for one 😛

Look at this video of DCKTF:

looks good. I haven't played any DK for a long while.

Am I the only one who thinks X on the Wii U looks really good?

Saw the video on the last Nintendo Direct but I wasn't too hot about it.

But I was happy to learn Monster Hunter 4 is meant to have online multiplayer on the 3DS 👆

Monster Hunter 4 makes me consider actually getting a 3DS.

Even if it was the only game I played on the system, that alone would justify buying it.

Something I wasn't expecting.

Forza 5 is getting a new track and it's free. Granted its a track that was on previous games (Road America) but it's still pretty cool. I wonder if the backlash of the lack of tracks made this free.

Still, it's nice to see a new track. As well, they are including new career/Rival events to go with the new track....that's pretty damn cool considering I pretty much spend my time playing SP.

Yeah I heard it was getting a new track but I never looked into the details...like release and such. Its free so I know i'll end up getting it lol.

It's automatically downloaded to your game. It's an update, not DLC you need to download.

I must say, Road America is a sweet ****ing track. Looks real good.

thats pretty sweet!

M$ tells you the Kinect 2.0 is not a spy device yet the British spy agency seems to be using it quite well at looking at your private video chats.

Are some us who didn't buy One still tinfoil hat wearing nutjobs?

By hacking web cam sessions.

The article also mentions that "The brunt of the protocol relied heavily on monitoring nearly two million Yahoo! users engaged in webcam chatting sessions, along with the Xbox Kinect, in which a lot of sexually explicit images were recovered."

Also, "“In one six-month period in 2008 alone, the agency collected webcam imagery – including substantial quantities of sexually explicit communications – from more than 1.8 million Yahoo user accounts globally.

“Yahoo reacted furiously to the webcam interception when approached by the Guardian. The company denied any prior knowledge of the program, accusing the agencies of "a whole new level of violation of our users' privacy".”

This isn't console specific. If you have Playstation Eye and you webcam with it then they can hack it too because they are getting the data packets from the Internet.

Retro Studios is working on a new game:

Also in our interview, veteran Nintendo producer Kensuke Tanabe confirmed that Retro Studios is working on a new game, but he would not say anything more than that. This game has been in development for a few months now, as Retro wrapped work on Tropical Freeze in November and hasn't been sitting by idly, Kelbaugh assured us.

YouTube video

Thoughts?

in addition to what Smasandian said the terms and agreement for the PS4 specifically states that if their PS Eye catches any criminal activity it can and will turn that over to the authorities. So while people might be worried about the Kinect possibly spying on them the PS Eye requires you to agree to it..

At least the PSEye is sold separately from the PS4 and anyone who really wants it can go buy it. Bundling the Kinect with every Xbone that can only work if you hook the camera device to the game system originally planned to work only with internet at all times is screaming someone's watching you.

lol Not only can you turn off the kinect but you can unplug it and your xbox will run just fine without it.....my source? I just did it...

Is there at least a video to prove that? I tried finding one on YouTube and all I got were people talking about being able to remove the Kinect yet they don't demonstrate it.

I don't know if anyone has done one but yeah I can take one and upload it if that would make you happy...

Sorry for the video quality. I didn't switch the camera to HD.
