The Angry Joe review of this train wreck waiting to happen is going to be so much more entertaining than the game. And free.
I agree it's pretty late to be handing a Journalist a console and a stack of like six games, and expecting thorough reviews of those games.
At the same time though I think it's a symptom of them being right down to the wire on actually having the thing ready and in a state that it's ready to be seen. I'm pretty confident that both Sony and Microsoft are cutting things right down to the wire with the release of both these consoles, and I expect there's goi...
Still powered by potato engine 3 I see...
I actually laughed at the explosions and physics, and I don't even have a sense of humor.
Based on his twitter feed he's been playing a card game since yesterday.
I'm guessing he wasn't invited because it would be all over his twitter right now if he had been. To be honest I'm kind of starting to feel sorry for the guy.
I think they maybe just gave themselves more credit for importance than they actually were entitled to. It's looking like Sony invited the bigger media names only. Kotaku, IGN, ETC.
And really what would you expect? I doubt Angry Joe, or every other youtube reviewer out there got an invitation.
Anyway Beer's conspiracy seems to be kind of shot down. Since they just handed the elusive retail unicorn as he puts it directly to journalists. You could ...
Game looks great. Wish they had a protagonist I could like though instead of what looks like another douchebag with a big stupid grin on his face all the time.
If one thing is coming from this console launch. It's that I'm gaining a lot of insight into which journalists I can trust versus which I can't.
So much sugar coating and downplaying going on right now I can't even believe it.
There are a LOT of sites that I used to read that I won't be reading any longer after this nonsense. Ars Technica is one of them.
I can save six steps with one simple trick.
Step 1, Get a PS4.
Did Adam Sessler get invited?
Voice control is dumb. I feel silly talking to my devices. I wouldn't use it on the Xbox if I had one either.
This is the thing that bothers me most about it. I'm pro PS4 but honestly, I wish it WAS true that the Xbox was equal to the PS4. It's a benefit to gamers if both consoles are equal. I don't want to see games limited for the PS4 and PC because of the Xbox being weaker.
Sadly though, It's not equal to the PS4. Fortunately it looks like this may not affect PS4 multiplats, since devs haven't been shy about just turning down the Xbox version, and the talk ...
Just rename it DRMBox 720(p) at this point and let's call it a day.
I give it 6 months or so and the original plan they talked about before they did the 180 will be fully re-enabled. No way do I see them giving up on that and locking down the used games market. Especially when they can't even stop bringing it up again and again. Like they did last week with their comments about how they never got a chance to have a rational discussion about DRM.
It's just one misstep after another with MS.
I expect Yoshida will be sticking the knife in and twisting on this particular misstep any time now on his twitter feed.
I think camera gaming is going nowhere. And I'm glad Sony made the camera an option. Because it's a waste of money. Kinect is going to be as useless as it was last generation as well. Just a stupid stupid novelty.
Now, if they would do something useful like player headtracking, like trackIR with it, I would be definitely interested in that. I have a trackIR and I love it.
Microsoft is starting essentially from Windows 8. So they really didn't have to do a lot of work on UI design, they really just merged the 360 UI with metro.
Microsoft is probably always going to have the more advanced UI. Unfortunately they are also going to have the heaviest UI bleeding more power from the system and taking away from game performance.
Being able to instantly switch to TV, or bring up another app side by side with your game paused isn&...
It looks to me like any slow points are internet related in that video.
The browser comes right up, but then it loads a bit bringing up the webpage. Likewise the Knack extended information screen could be bringing up web info about the game maybe?
Slowdowns at those points don't jive with other videos I've seen, such as the one with Shuhei Yoshida demoing the UI, or with the review those British gamers did where they basically gushed about how fast an...
I tried putting Killzone, Knack, and AC4 in my cart just now on Amazon.com and it still showed a total of over $180.00
I just tried a live chat with Amazon.ca, and they told me they have no information about this in Canada, and I should contact Amazon.com
I showed them the article on Hardcore gamer in the live chat, nothing.
So it sounds like he got to go to the review event after all doesn't it? Unless by going to New York he meant hanging out on the sidewalk outside interviewing people as they came out. In which case maybe Adam finally got a review unit?
