So typical for crappy journalism.

- Write an article based on a (somewhat opportunistic) misunderstanding of a Tweet
- Get many pageviews
- Write an article clarifying the misunderstanding
- Get many pageviews

Yeah, that pretty much has to be PS Vita slim. Can't imagine anything else, at least.

Haha! I saw that one coming.

Kind of funny/tragic how Microsoft recently have been trying to do the same thing as Sony did with Mark Cerny and PS4, but every time they do, they're shot down instantly.

I've seen estimations that suggest the contrary:

Everything that's in demand will happen. Desmond's ancestors follow the money.

Why on earth does it not mean indies? Right now, this is the only dedicated handheld console that you can play games like Terraria, Hotline Miami and Spelunky on.

I'd love to have Mark of the Ninja, Rez and more on the machine.

"They're not hurting for money, they are just losing money." That is precisely what I said. Except I didn't suggest that they were stil doing it, but they probably are.

But it is incredibly strange that they're selling the console at a loss, I mean, really? And PS4 is not sold at a loss? (it isn't, that was rhetorical)

How did they lose their money, anyway? We know it's not on hardware development/production or advertising.

PS Plus really swipes the floor with Games 4 Gold. Still not sure how they do it. I mean Bioshock Infinite, Brothers and some of the best titles of last year for free? Unreal.

@abzdine

You actually don't need a diploma. Journalist is an unprotected title.

I think a large reason to why game journalism is not taken seriously, is because readers tend to completely overlook the really great articles that are out there and go for the "clickbait".

There are ...

Those are some good bullet points to keep in mind.

Also, read, always look to expand your language, don't resort to clichés and don't put every idea for a Top 10 list that comes to mind on paper.

There are some great writers out there:

Learn from them.

At the end of the day I'd rather have them take franchises on new franchises like the ones they've started over the years (Skate, Mirror's Edge, Dead Space to name a few) than taking their chances on a console only a few of us own.

Also, this is a "supposed source". Please take that as it is.

"Titles" was an ambigious word to use, as it in this context can mean both game and name. I take it, however, that you meant name?

In that case, I agree, even though most of the titles with badly translated names are pretty old.

Not that titles like Killzone, Red Dead Redemption and Duke Nukem make that much sense either.

First of all, actually they do. While there are many instances in which law and ethics don't mix, laws are generally designed to discourage immoral behaviour and encourage moral behaviour.

Anyway, if this isn't a problem for Media Molecule, and LittleBig isn't even protected by any patent, why would it be wrong to take that name? Are people going to confuse LittleBigMansion with LittleBigPlanet?

Garchomp? Who comes up with the names these days, Ben Schwartz?

4531d ago 0 agree0 disagreeView comment

Easy...

If Media Molecule feels that these guys are infringing on LBP, which I doubt they do, they'll settle that in court. It makes more sense to review a game on its own merits, although the trailer didn't make the game look all that great.

Or they're able to look past their own DMC-tinted glasses.

Well, if you read any of the reviews, these "apologists" tend to bring up the decent platforming, varied action, solid combat mechanics and clever design and music.

I get the impression that only DMC conservatists try to make it out as a "horrible game" when pretty much every single reviewer on earth has given it either a favourable rating or a mediocre one.

While I agree that the writer should take a look at his semicolon usage, it is a little harsh to call him an idiot.

I find that criticism is often taken more seriously if it's presented in a constructive and polite manner.

Idiot.

Wonder how that would work. Am I looking down on the planet from space?
