Some bad reviews to the absolute very worst of Xbox One launch games... yippee. They can't be too obvious now. They give decent reviews to the very best of PS4 games (Resogun) and bad reviews to the very worst of Xbox One games (Lococycle) because if they were completely positive about all things Xbox, even those things that don't deserve it, and completely negative about all things PlayStation, then they wouldn't be able to parade about very much longer because everybody would ...

The only non-cross-generational, retail-based first party game I can think of for Xbox One is Forza 5. If he means "exclusives" (including cross-generational or what-have-you) then maybe he has an argument, but he should really get his terms correct if he wants to be taken seriously as an industry analyst. Dead Rising 3 and Ryse are both second party (not developed, just published by Microsoft), just so we're all clear.

I didn't disagree with you because of your daisy-chaining comment... but rather because of your comment that you don't know of anybody who even has surround sound. Most of my friends and family have surround sound... but I suppose we're all techies and gearheads and audiophiles so maybe we're weird? But we all love us some surround sound.

That said, while I'm no expert on this issue so don't take my word for it, I also don't know why daisy-chaini...

A quality review, well-written, and it takes the time to point out all of the various qualities one needs to be aware of in order to get an idea whether this game is for them. I loved the game, and this review does a good job of explaining the positive aspects of the game while still pointing out the very real and objectively present flaws. I think that's the important thing I'm learning about games, this industry, and criticism... A game can be flawed and have its problems, but sti...

OK, and Knack has a perfect 5-star rating on the PSN Store according to users.

Does this prove anything?

Why would cable companies subsidize it if it can't act as a standalone cable box? It doesn't make any sense. The Xbox One is *not capable* of acting as a standalone cable box, because it does not have a coaxial input. It is just a pass-through for an existing cable box. I have no idea how such an extraneous piece of kit is going to be an appealing subsidized add-on for cable companies.

Seriously? The game seems better than 4 out of 10 to me... I don't really understand review score standards. I should just read the words and pretend the number isn't even there.

Really? Come on, now... Do they really think a brand new next-gen system buyer would rather, or should pick up this game over Killzone?

I am liking the single player campaign just fine so far. The graphics are even better than the videos made it seem, and certainly better than some of the reviewers are saying. I saw a review where the writer claimed it didn't look any better than the PS3 games, and that is just a flat out lie.

The shocking thing for me is how amazing the interiors look. When there are lots of surfaces for light to play off of, bounce, reflect, create shadows and god rays, etc. the li...

I can't speak for those who played on easy. But I payed on hard, and I died a lot, and it took me about 25 hours to beat God of War 3 on PS3. I time my gaming sessions myself, so I have an accurate time value. GOW3's actual clock on the game told me it took about 18 hours to beat, so if some people go by the game clock it won't be accurate because in GOW it doesn't count retry attempts in your timing, if you die or restart a checkpoint it puts the clock back so the time does...

You can't be serious? That's the best example you could come up with? He devotes out 16% (really about 3 out of 18 paragraphs) to a rather generic, brief, and uninformative description of the multiplayer. The vast majority of the review was talking about the single player, and that's precisely the issue that you're trying to rebut by bringing up this review: that when it comes to Killzone, critics are judging it primarily as a single payer game, but when it comes to Battlef...

Oh boy, this could be interesting.

Incredible. Beautiful.

Wow, totally forgot about this game, it's been in development forever.

Yeah well neither of these games has ever been on console before. And they are *free*. So your complaints are kind of elitist and ungrateful.

Great news! My girlfriend was watching the Don't Starve trailer yesterday on the new HumbleShop and she seemed interested in it, I thought about buying it so we could play it, but now I don't have to. Just wait for the PS4 version for free!

What the mother loving hell kind of comparison is this? It's different colored cars, different courses, differe parts of the game compared side by side, how are you supposed to see any differences when you're not looking at like-for-like scenes on each version? This is useless. Not only that, but the YouTube quality is so bad you can't really see the details in any of this. They also didn't do any wipes from one version to another, or anything that would let you actually b...

There has been no announcement by Blizzard that there will be an Xbox One version. That's just one of those instances of a retailer putting up a SKU. Those don't always turn out to be real, it's just a preemptive move by the retailer, it's as good as rumor, but as of now, there is no confirmation of any Xbox One release for this game.

Proof right from the horse's mouth:

Literally just bought my 1 TB hard drive to go in my PS4, yesterday. I would have waited if I knew about this then. Oh well. I can't find it at NewEgg, Amazon, or BestBuy, so I dunno.

If the Vita is a cool piece of hardware and is technologically sound and feature-rich, which it absolutely is, especially in conjunction with a PS4 and the features the two gain when used together, then his involvement was absolutely a success. He is not in charge of software development/publication direction for the consoles, he designed the *machines*. If you don't think the Vita is getting the software support it requires, blame Sony and the directors of their software/publication di...
