Yep, this looks like a complete hack n' slash. No stealth at all. Its Metal Gear, so I'll have to play it, but this wont be a day one buy for me.

Tell us what you are really working on Kojima.

There were $140 360 bundles available on Black Friday. No need for an official 360 price cut, because they are constantly being sold under MSRP.

There is no question MS has done a great job of building the XBox brand this generation, particularly in the US. PS is not dead here though, and has a substantial market presence despite never having the price advantage. Sony made some big mistakes to start, but they have done a very good job of turning things around.

What are you talking about? Vita supports PSOne classics downloaded from the PSN.

I'm not sure what is confusing about cloud saving on Vita either. Some games are cross platform, ie. on both Vita and the PS3. Sony is allowing developers of those games to offer cloud saving, which makes sense. The whole point of the feature is to play it on your big screen at home, then continue progress on the road. Cloud saving is an integral part of that experience.

I hope the rumors aren't true about it being a Trinity core. Right now Intel is absolutely smoking AMD in x86 performance. Its not exactly a good idea to use x86 in a console, but if you're going to do so don't use AMD.

Also, Global Foundries is having some major issues with their 28nm process forcing AMD to cancel their next generation APUs with them. AMD has to redesign those processors for TSMC's gate-last process.

AMD(ATI) GPU's ar...

"Looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane" is a common metaphor used in sports, particularly football (American). Sometimes you have these amazing 6'6 300 lbs athletes that bench 500 lbs but when they get on the field they just aren't physical enough to play the game. Hence the metaphor.

I don't see how it applies to gaming though. The writer probably could have come up with something bette...

Just a shot in the dark, but my guess:

1) US
2) Japan
3) UK
4) France

dredgewalker is correct. Xenosaga is not part of the Xenogears timeline, it just borrows some ideas from it. We'll probably never see the complete Xenogears story.

BTW, Xenosaga Part 3 is the best of the XS series. You stopped a game too early RustInPeace.

Haha, funniest thing I have seen in a while

Xillia was very well recieved. Many have said that it is one of the best of the series.

As DarkZane said, Ni No Kuni was developed by Level-5, not Namco Bandai. They are just publishing it.

What is that, a pre-alpha version? That looks nothing like the UC3 I own.

BTW, learn some reading comprehension. He said Uncharted 2, not Uncharted 3. SP in UC has always been linear, due to the focus on narrative. Open games have a disjointed narrative, and that isnt what ND is shooting for in this series.

You can't pirate games through legal homebrew.

Yes there is a small percentage of the homebrew scene that just wants to be able to open their device up and create their own software. The majority of that scene is to simply pirate games. Anyone who thinks otherwise is in denial.

SLI/Crossfire in a console is not happening. The power requirements are too high, the heat output is too much, and eliminating microstutter is a developers nightmare.

If they didn't people would abuse the hell out of this. They would buy the physical version, download the digital version, then trade in the physical version.

Sony doesn't report shipped/sold any different than anyone else. Funny that no one seems to bring this up when other publishers release numbers.

XFON, RPG mode is a combination of the previous two modes. RPG mode contains "manually-selectable replies in conversation and a normal combat difficulty."

Story mode has selectable replies and easy combat. Action mode has auto replies and normal combat. Its not possible to combine all 3 modes.

@Ashriel

If a reviewer wants to be taken seriously then he needs to be objective. If he just wants to rant his opinion then he should do it on a blog, not in a review on behalf of the website publication he works for.

If you let personal opinions and platform allegiances affect the way you review games, then your review is worthless to gamers.

Perhaps you should take your own advice?

Okay, so a Sony PR guy agrees with a review that says UC3 is better than Gears 3 on his Twitter account. This is news how? Is this somehow wrong?

He's talking about N4G's metascore, which currently stands at 9.5.
