Absolutely nothing wrong with girls playing and loving videogames, but there are defintely girls who pretend to like them just to seem quirky and cute and to attract certain types of guys. Maybe in other cases it's acting out an inferiority complex, (seeing videogames as the domain of losers and geeks) and seeking attention that way, I don't know. Just like everything else you have your good and your bad. I know girls who sincerely like videogames and it's great. "Fake gamer ...

Remakes of V and VI (I could take or leave these since I don't think they need to remake any of their games, but I know people'd love this)
Lightning Returns

Not too keen on the guy's first point... You've gotta have a bit of sci-fi weirdness. Eve...

If it's not on Ps4 I don't see how the Ps3 and Xbox360 could hope to run it well.

Hahaha the last one would be hilarious. I'd imagine it more like: "Ladies and Gentleman, Mr. Kazuo Hirai!!" *cue applause and moderately fast electronic dance music* Kaz strolls on stage waving and smiling, the applause and music die down, Kaz calmly approaches the mic, smiling. "Thank you, thank you.. Thank you for coming this evening everybody, I'm sure some of you have come a long way to be here and I hope you'll be able to look back and say it was worth it. Inde...

Mobile games are an example of what happens when the culture industry co-opts something. The experiences become depthless and broad, catering to the super-casual masses, which is pretty bad for games since they're already pretty shallow and juvenile as it is.

I was hoping games would become more intelligent and sophisticated, but this development could seriously hurt that possibility.

The kind of people who nearly invariably play mobile games are the kind...

I've neither played nor do I own a Dead Space game, but 7.75 / 10 is not a bad score.

I think scoring in general needs to go. It's usually completely non-representative of the actual content of the review, and it puts ideas in people's heads about quality.

Plus if people actually read reviews they'd probably be smarter for it. They'd become more critical of games. I suspect most people rely on the printed score and the headline to glean &q...

I forgot about Ni-Oh! Damn I was really looking forward to it actually.

Wrong. It's the same mythos as XIII. Etro and Bhunivelze and all those things.

It was never meant to connect to XIII's story. (Although I kind of wish it did)

It's not really like Edge to publish rumour articles that are written in such a matter-of-fact style. At least I don't think it is...

If all this is true, the Ps4 sounds like a really solid console. As long as it's easy to develop for I'm happy. That means more games. I can give or take graphics, the possibilities with what we've got already are pretty much infinite.

Woah woah woah wtf. That's weird. Maybe sony trademarks made into web addresses lead to the official playstation page?

If not, that seems pretty significant.

My worry is that Half Life 3 will be exclusive to the steam box...

Also hard to believe that neither Final Fantasy Versus XIII nor The Last Guardian have received release dates. Makes me worry how long ambitious games are gonna take this coming gen.

We'll be playing our PS5s before certain PS4 games get released...

Yeah he probably didn't have to ask for this.

Looks a bit daft... And why do people never think to design more ergonomic controllers?

This is that thing that people thought was a Prince of Persia game... Hmmm, I wonder if it'll have a sci-fi spin like AC, or if it's just a period based game...

Yeah, there's something really naff about the first civilization. They look like something out of cheesy 80's sci-fi. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but in the context of the game it's a bit weird.

There's a difference between art and craft. The creation of games is largely craft, and some of those crafted elements produce art, some don't. There are elements of it that can be considered art. The music, the visual design, the story and it's themes and messages, and all those things amalgamated.

As for the interactive side of videogames - the defining aspect of them - I'm not sure you can call that art. I suppose it depends how it links with or is informed...

I'm excited for this game, but part of me wishes they'd just expanded on the direction they were going with XIII-2.

XIII had a stronger narrative, but XIII-2 had more meat on it's bones, and perhaps a slightly better story.

If they'd just combined those two things... They already had the music and the visuals down, both absolutely superb, but I was hoping the third game would have bigger places to explore and revisit, and overall would be a bi...

If XIII-2 was planned though, XIII wouldn't have had a self-contained story.

Although I think they said somewhere that they were banking on XIII yielding good returns before they considered a sequel, ssssoo I suppose it's possible they left out the canon ending just in case XIII did badly.

Still, I'm suspicious. I'd already accepted that XIII-2 was an apology to fans for XIII (I think they're both fine games but whatever) and I'm okay ...

Er, I somehow doubt XIII-2 and Lightning Returns were planned well in advance. I mean XIII-2 retconned the ending of XIII, if it was planned they wouldn't have done that...

I know they're kind of in a rough spot in terms of their reputation at the moment, but there's no need to lie...
