it's IGN, what do you expect?

alster235380d ago

yes because everything they have done before like hating on the ps3 was just a sign that it would lead to shady business practices like this right??

beastman145380d ago

IGN is a money whore company, sinking deep in developers pocket, Mainly like M$.
They probably control other gaming sites and try to harm developers/publisher by giving them bad names unless they get PAID with a FAT CHECK!
Since IGN, Rotten Tomatoes, Etc has so much power, Its like publishers, companies fear them and try to make them happy so what ever they make or release don't get hit with harsh remarks.

alster235380d ago

so EA paid ign to give medal of honor 6.0?

"IGN is a money whore company, sinking deep in developers pocket, Mainly like M$."

I know this is N4G, so the following question may be foreign to you:

Do you have any evidence to support your claims?

received the same bogus notices when I uploaded some BF3 vids.

zeddy5380d ago

i know its bullshit and ign are gay but no-one wants to watch these 10 year olds do a boring ass commentary, i only go to vash12349 for those because he's a funny mofo!

Miiikeyyy5379d ago

Never liked IGN tbh. IGNorant can't review games for shit! When they reviewed battlefield bad company vietnam they gave it a 9.5. They took 0.5 off cus the reviewer didn't like 1 song. Fail!

I've had this happen to me, I just file a counter claim right away.

Hockeydud195380d ago

Lol they are just asking for a lawsuit from Square Enix

beastman145380d ago

If Square decides to take action, all IGN will do is talk shit about ever game they publish with bad reviews and probably paid others to do the same.

xtremexx5380d ago

and then everyone with notice this and say F**K IGN

STK0265380d ago

@xtremxx, if this were from any other publisher, maybe, but since gamers seem to be quite upset with SE these days, not sure they'd side with them over anything. Same applies with Activision.

Tuxedo_Mask5379d ago

@STK026

I think everyone would side with SE/Eidos on this one. Especially since the video IGN is claiming the copyright of is from a game that they spent their money to make, not to mention the fact that IGN had absolutely nothing to do with it being released. It would be equivalent to Ebert and Roeper copyrighting the video of a movie someone reviews on YouTube.

Would love to see more DF Retros from John now that they can come up with their own ideas.

DefenderOfDoom2286d ago (Edited 286d ago )

I just watched a DF video from John featuring the new Gradius collection. Gradius is one my favorite NES games ! And now at QuakeCon 2025 they just released a remastered Heretic and Hexxen bundle by Nightdive and ID Software. So DF featuring John released a video today talking about the Hexxen and Heretic bundle . Good times.

I love DF-crew, they are experts at what they do and I'm so happy for this!

I believe in these guys more than anyone else!

I overall don't like podcasts either but these guys make it fun for me at least! :D

jznrpg286d ago (Edited 286d ago )

Xbox Series X best place to play 3rd party. Oh it must be a glitch or tools because Series X is worse.
I don’t understand why this keeps happening.
Doesn’t sound like an expert to me.

Andy_Dee284d ago

Doesn't make any sense what you are saying. They are experts in their field in my opinion, we don't have to share it. That's ok.

But something doesn't always have to have an explanation as well. If they can't understand why it's happening they aren't lying about it. They honestly can admit that they do nut understand something, usually they reach out to that specific company etc. then to try and get a better understanding.

If you don't like em, don't watch em.

gold_drake286d ago

thats great that u enjoy them, but you shouldnt just believe everything these guys say either.

Andy_Dee284d ago

I didn't say I believe everything they are saying. I believe in them more than anyone else in this business because I feel they do not shy away from getting into specifics. Lot's of ppl just try to say something and then there's no source or no explanation as to why. Just saying it for reactions, clicks you name it.

These guys love the field they work in and I can feel that when I listen to them. That might be just for me but I enjoy them a lot.

PS5 Pro Console 4k Reveal Trailer – PlayStation 5 Pro Announcement

Admin note: We are allowing this submission as it provides a 4k trailer on YouTube and we have to link to an IGN article. Thank you Purple101 for the submission.

Sony has announced the PS5 Pro, an upgraded version of the PlayStation 5 capable of higher frame rates, better ray-tracing, and improved graphical fidelity."

Petebloodyonion616d ago

I recall in the past, my friend attempted to demonstrate the superiority and importance of using an S-video cable for PS1 games compared to the original RCA cables. He would pause the game and switch the video output settings so I could notice the differences.

or it reminds me of the 1080P vs 900P debate.

Honestly even at 4K I can barely see the difference aside frame rate.
