Yeah, take your time and get it right. Surprised to learn who's developing it too, could actually be a lot better than the first. And Riptide, which was a POS IMO.
Fair point, but Nintendo did make an attempt to appeal to the hardcore/traditional gaming market.
Very true, that's explained in the article as well. Sony could have quite easily dithered and fallen into many of the same pitfalls, mind.
@Transistor: I take your point but I question how much clout Spencer could have possibly had over the Xbox One's hardware direction given that his job was limited to signing developers into Microsoft Studios.
But I do agree, these things are bigger than one man (hence the agree vote).
Yeah, Mattrick really dealt them a bad hand. Spencer's done great, but it's damage control when the XO should have been moving forward. Meanwhile Sony had a clear message and just ran with it.
For sure. They really locked down every aspect this time, from development to announcements, PR and even engaging with us gamers as well. Ninty and MS are back up to speed but they've lost so much time.
Oh look, another black and white game that hides mediocre gameplay behind snazzy art direction.
Hideo Kojima might buy it as a souvenir. Either that or deservedly raid Konami for office supplies.

It's also a duplicate post. http://n4g.com/news/1714555...
Nice, beats paying £1000 for a preinstalled PS4 :P
It could also whisper "you've met with a terrible fate, haven't you" just to really do some psychological damage.
Awesome merch though.
I feel like you just lost a little cred there, but either way, good read.
Wait, how did this get approved? This console was announced ages ago and the only thing in the 'article' is an embedded tweet from Sony about a competition.
Wrong source, old news, bizarre title, no content, seriously... I don't understand. Who approved this?
YES. Love it.
Well said, bad149, especially the part about piracy. Good on you.
Us gamers aren't just a passive flock of wallets waiting to be harvested. Our money fuels this industry, and if we lose confidence in it, publishers will quickly realise that the casual market is very fickle indeed.
(bubs, btw)
All things should have space bears.
Awesome. Go on then. Assembling and destroying massive space fleets is my favourite part of a space 4X.
Yeah, just 24 hours after the Arkham Season pass the same publisher announces a GOTY Edition for their last game with a season pass.
Fool us once, WB, shame on us.
To be fair Dealspwn actually uses the whole rating system.
"3 – BAD: Undeniably bad. Games that get a 3 or under actively alienate and push away the gamer with their faults. It’s here that you’ll start getting glaring technical issues that prevent you from getting even a sniff of enjoyment from the game."
A lot of sites would usually give a 5 or 6.
