Don't be a pretentious jerk

This just adds weight to the fear that Microsoft will 'opt out' of the console arms race next gen just like Nintendo did this one.

OR, more optimistically, this will signify a split of the brand, in which Kinect and the casual focus will continue on this "arcade-style" console/tv box and the 'core' satisfied with a new "true successor". Although this may be spreading themselves thin and diluting the xbox name.

Sony knows what you did last summer!

Kinect scans your genitals and posts specs/pics online!

There's a booth in Germany somewhere that charges old geezers to go in and watch naked gamers play halo!

All your bank accounts are belongs to the haxors!

That was fun, I can see why they do it now :)

I liked the part when he said Shaun.

How is enjoying a game and having fun with it fanboyism?

His opinion is just as valid as your own, don't be so quick to drop the f word, no not THAT f word :)

Aww just short, sorry GAME employees, guess you'll have to give bad consumer advice in the unemployment line.

Seriously though people losing jobs is the only bad thing about the GAME closure, at least where I live. There are plenty of much more competitive alternatives.

One question though, if GAME goes under will Gamestations in the UK also close because I hear GAME owns them.

Ah, you're right, my mistake. I 100%'d it but there were no trophies.

Still means I won't be able(willing) to 100% Brotherhood due to lack of interest in the MP.

My bad.

Uncharted 3, Killzone 3 and Resistantance 3 spring to mind. Pretty sure they had 'plus' MP trophies from the start.

@egidem It's pretty confusing but there are now 'plus' trophies in some games from the start, before any DLC is released.

@Alpha I agree that trophies should be intergrated more into the whole PSN(SEN) experience. Rewards based around more than just game content would be a great start.

Edit: Now that I'...

I agree to some extent, however there should be trophies/achievements in multiplayer but they should not be mandatory for a Platinum. I guess it doesn't really matter as much on 360 as there's no real reward for 100% a game other than self satisfaction.

Sony has started to get this right in most of their first party games, with trophies for multiplayer carrying a little 'plus' symbol, indicating they aren't needed to get platinum. It's the same metho...

Ah I see the misunderstanding here, the problem lies not in whether or not you should raise your expectations upon hearing of improvements to a game but in how much you raise those expectations.

My point was that people had unrealistic expectations after foolishly believing media reports of 'massive delays' despite a release date never being announced. This showed in almost every review where the development time was used in negative light to elicit a false sense of ...

"So when a game keeps being postponed and worked on, it should not be criticized as such?"

This is the problem right here, according to you a delay to improve a game should be viewed as a criticism and not a good thing. I'd prefer games to be judged on their comparative quality in their respective genres and not by the length of time from announcement to release.

Thanks for the link, although I think there was something lost in translation, will I NEED a Kinect to play or what?

Anyway any proper judgement will have to wait until we actually see some *real* gameplay.

Also, why does the trailer only show playing with Kinect if it is to be a "hybrid"?

I really wish this game wasn't Kinect only. I want to believe this will be the game to make me want to buy one but I'm not holding my breath. I've already been severely disappointed by Kinect Star Wars :(

I can see Gran Turismo 6 being a PS4 launch title; with everything Sony has learned this gen about developer involvement in hardware design you can bet Polyphony Digital have a large influence. The delay in getting GT5 out the door this gen actually had a negative effect on how gamers and critics viewed the game itself, which is ridiculous but sadly true.

The censorship that follows any controversial issue, in any art form, is sickening. In western society we value freedom of speech highly but when certain religious organisations, with far too much political influence, come across something that opposes their views they attempt to stifle that very freedom. You don't see free-thinking Atheists trying to ban the Narnia movies because of their sickeningly obvious Christian messages.

If it REALLY is so important to protect t...

I just got my code to download the game yesterday and, gotta say, I agree with you that it's a wonderfully fun way to showcase PSVita's features. However I don't really think Sony should be advertising it, considering everyone will eventually get to play for free in May, if I remember correctly.

It will eventually get the recognition it deserves all by itself, now if you'll excuse me I have to squash some toffs, row a lion to an island, lead my friends to the...

As long as they don't spread themselves too thin and lose any of the creativity and innovation that make their games great then good for them.

Actually I believe the WiFi model does have GPS however you'd need to be in a WiFi zone to use maps etc. Apps can still tell where you are with just the signal from the GPS, if I'm not mistaken.

Nice, wonder if it will tie in with The Last of us?

Since when did 'sponsored' posts become a conspiracy theory? It's just an ad and most big companies do it, as long as it's marked up accordingly it's not like they're trying to fool anyone. Also your link to Kotaku doesn't seem to be working for me and in all likelihood, if it was full of errors, it's much more probable that the fault lies with Kotaku rather than Sony.

You shouldn't let things like that spoil your own personal gaming expe...

They make a compelling argument but the more I think about it the more I feel that playing as Ellie inspires images of what I'd expect The Last Guardian to play like.

I think I'd prefer a Naughty Dog game to focus more on action/story, which is what they excel at.
