There's a significant amount of games with Avatar rewards. Avatars are not prominently featured on Xbox One so I'm not sure if that would make much sense, but some kind of rewards would be welcome.

That one will require twitch and ustream to cooperate so who knows if and when we'll ever see it.
The N64 was supposed to have a modem.
It was called Randnet and it didn't exist.
It's not too difficult to get one.

This came out, we had this in our office in Sendai. It came with the modem cart and 64DD disk.

Honestly deserve it though. They live off dribbling hype and hyperbole. I remember people saying how Home was going to be this massive online hub that was going to make Live look pitiful. Instead it just completely fizzled and got swept under the rug.
They announce so many features and capabilities and half the shit never sees the light of day.

Challenges are very much a thing, but games can also add actual new achievements without adding any new content. Crimson Dragon had new achievements added last week.

Your title implies that it never happened, there around 6-7 years for these features to be added, relax friend. We're only 7 months in the new gen, no one said they would be there on day 1. I don't really miss the suspend resume feature, it's nice on a portable but I don't turn on and off my console so often.

Cross game Voice / Video Chat on PS3.
Also what the hell was that 2nd HDMi port on the early PS3 prototype even for?

Pretty sure Shuhei Yoshida talked about it fairly recently. Post E3. Also about friends being able to play a part of your game if your stuck.

Whatever that third port is under the GameCube.
Xbox One friends list game sharing.
More console to PC gaming. Only a handful of titles do it.

They originally thought the Cell processor would be powerful enough to output a split screen 2 player game to two separate TVs.

If I remember correctly it was so you could play a game across multiple screens, I think up to 3. I vaguely remember a screenshot of Gran Turismo 5 Concept or some form apparently demonstrating this aspect.

Xbone's matches are on the cloud, and you can play another game while the match is created.
And for that to work well, it would require another feature that also didn't make it (yet?): Games could resume state even if terminated, of course with greater loading than instant switching from an app.

You could softmod anyway with a memory card and a PS1 game, but yeah. HD Loader was just the best.

Technically possible with games that are actually apps.I believe Nutjitsu is the only such game right now, but I presume we'll be seeing more of them in the future (Threes seems to be taking the same approach).

DLNA on the PS4 apparently.
So god damn pathetic that it's July of 2014 and that system can't act as a proper home media hub.

It was? I don't remember hearing that. Virtual Console stuff kind of had that though by using the home button to exit out.
This was never really used in a proper game, but it's not complete BS. MS released a series of "experiments" for the Kinect back in 2011, one of which allowed you to scan 3D objects which would then be made into a "googly".

Every console already is a dev kit. You just need a developer code to enable it

Did they announce video chat for PS3? I don't think that feature ever game on the OS level.
Street Fighter Alpha Collection also supported an install to the HDD to improve load times.
Phantasy Star Online. It was glorious. You may have been able to order it through their website, but I'm not sure.
I seem to recall there being some crazy announcement with the 3DS relating to keeping a DS game in a spare slot, or installed. But I can't find any reference to it.

1080p and 60fps on both then! Awesome! xD

good old Kutaragi hubris
This was one of my biggest
The PS3 was going to be a router and a video capture device.
Well, you need Microsoft to enable it on their end. To get to the dev options section of the Xbox One is easy.

You mean something like Project Spark?
You got a few shorts in that video app no one uses and you will like it!
Wasn't the Video App was discontinued too?

Wait, my old PS3 phat had a HDMI out, why doesn't the one in that picture have one? Did the 20GB model come without HDMI?
Don't forget 4D graphics, 120fps and 2TFLOPS. Crazy times, crazy times.
Anyone else remember that the Gameboy Advance was suppose to have "online" functions supported through Cell Phone adapters and/or modems? The thought of being able to play handhelds games online blew my mind back then... even though it never happened. Japan got some of those features with cell phone adapters on the Gameboy Color (nuts to think about something like that back in the late 90's) but us poor Americans never got anything like that.
Had to wait for the DS for that one.

They added it back to the 20gb before launch, but yeah there was a time when only the 60gb was going to have it
Lie-adjusted is the best word I've come across today.
I should use it some more around here.

Are you speaking of Velocity Girl?
I couldn't believe Microsoft would so blatantly rip off a band's name like that.
