Will Wikis Kill off the FAQ?

FAQs are so Web 1.0. In a traditional FAQ, the writer is the sole custodian of knowledge and his word is the definitive voice. The way forward is the democratic, collaborative wiki.

M3rkMast3r5854d ago

I think Wiki's are the new FAQ and can offer up more information as well.

rod_furlong5854d ago

What I don't like about game wikis so far is that they don't seem to give as many useful tips as a traditional faq. I was looking at the Red Dead Redemption wiki on wikia yesterday, trying to figure out if it was worth the money to buy a weapon upgrade, and it just described the weapon, it didn't really say if it was worth having or not.

bbretterson5854d ago

Yeah, wikis do tend to be more encyclopedic in style than FAQs. Maybe the old walkthrough isn't quite dead yet...

TheLancer5854d ago

I actually prefer the encyclopedia format to a walkthrough, so I am all for Wikis!

Would be nice if they had New Vegas ready as well, especially because of the show.

Hopefully this doesn't have the same performance issues as Oblivion Remastered.

cloganart141d ago

I haven't seen anything on these performance issues? What's been going on?

walken7141d ago

Probably the Unreal Engine issues, I skipped it for that reason.

Snookies12142d ago (Edited 142d ago )

Throw in all the DLC as well, like Oblivion and I'll definitely bite. I recall having one trophy left to unlock on the PS3 version with 100+ hours in my save. When my save file got corrupted, lol. Very sad day.

To be fair though, Bethesda was trash at Playstation ports anyway.

Michiel1989141d ago

all devs sucked at porting to ps3 for the first like 3 years because no one had experience with the cell architecture. Even 1st party took a long while to get proficient with it, the difference between uncharted 1 and 3 is massive for example.

Extermin8or3_141d ago

Oh oh oh I can do this too. GTA 7 will be made at some point in the future. Fallout 5 will enter development in the future too

jznrpg141d ago

Everyone there should know most gamers want New Vegas and Morrowind more than anything.

Christopher141d ago

Which is why we won't get them. Gotta keep floating "support this one and it might happen".

BlaqMagiq1141d ago

Can't wait. Won't have to go back to my PS3 to play this when it comes out.

Fallout 3 remastered on the Nintendo Switch 2 is what we deserve, not the worst Fallout game

Fallout Day's disappointing news that Fallout 4 is coming to Switch 2 is a shame, as this 17-year-old entry is more deserving of a new port.

Why exactly do you think you deserve it??

Phoenix76213d ago

Fallout 4 isn't the worst game in the franchise. It's either Fallout 76 or Fallout BOS that's the worst.

gigoran8213d ago

PC and all other modern consoles never got a remaster of 3, but obviously the switch 2 was the tipping point to make it a reality... ahuh

1nsomniac213d ago

Meh, I thought 3 was garbage. I'm not a great fan of the franchise to be fair. They're like B-Movie films, really shallow and janky. 4 was definitely one of the better ones though.

UltimateOwnage213d ago

So the article makes a snippy entitled statement and acts like that is going to encourage a publisher to give them what they want. Okay.

ever since XIII came out I really loved the cell shaded artstyle in games. I probably wouldn't have tried it if it didn't have such a style like that
