I wish I'd never heard about FF Versus XIII back in 2006. It has caused untold suffering.

"Seriously, when has Call of Duty EVER been believable and relatable"

Have you forgotten that this series began by recreating historical WW2 battles?

That's odd, I definitely remember IGN saying that they thought Galaxy 2 was better than 1

Am I the only one whose fondest memories of Mario Kart involved Battle Mode? I'm surprised so few people seem unbothered by the changes to this once great mode.

Correct.

Several of the devs behind GoldenEye and Perfect Dark later formed Free Radical, who then became Crytek UK. David Doak is no longer part of that team.

One of the key former Rare developers behind Banjo Kazooie was planning to make a spiritual successor to Banjo Tooie codenamed 'Mingy Jongo', but that project was recently cancelled.

One of the key former Rare devs behind Conker's Bad Fur Day formed 'Gory Detail', a...

Mismanagement sure, but time constraints? Having a game in development for this long without a release date deadline isn't what I imagine as being 'constrained'.

Also, I don't think FF fans have unrealistic expectations for this game. All they want is the return of features that made the older games great, which this looks to be delivering.

I'm considering getting a Surface Pro soon, so I'm hoping it can handle some gaming; not necessary the latest releases, but some of the classics from the last decade or so, and emulators. I hear it runs South Park Stick of Truth well.

I don't think it's 100% confirmed to be native 1080p yet. The truth will probably be revealed by the usual suspects like Digital Foundry, NeoGAF etc.
The game looks cool though.

Relax, HD touch ups aren't coming at the expense of new games. Believe it or not, I bought Super Mario All-Stars on SNES, yet the original SNES games still kept coming.

Resolution has only become an issue because the PS4 is the only console that was designed well enough to consistently achieve a resolution that we've been promised for years, and should have gone without saying this gen.

The folly of the 1080p debate is as follows;

A publisher states that their console game runs at 1080p, but it is often revealed later that it is not actually native 1920x1080, but rather upscaled;

Some journalists jump to conclusions, hence we get articles like this, creating more confusion;

It's 2014, and some would say that even 1080p is already outdated and ugly, let alone 900p & 720p etc. Personally I'm happy with how 1080p lo...

Ah the stinging pain of being Japanese RPG fan.

COD 1, 2, 4, and MW2 all had awesome campaigns.

The success of the PS4 has really given rise to some retarded articles.

I get the impression the devs wished they could go further with it. It's sometimes a bit weird seeing PS2 animations clashing with PS3 quality textures.

I was under the impression that Galaxy and 3D World represented the sort of direction Nintendo plans to take with Mario henceforth - ditching the SM64/Sunshine collectathon style of level design for more focused platforming based gameplay, like how it was in the SNES era.

I own the PS3 physical copy, but used the online code on my friend's PS3, under my friends account. I hope I will still qualify for a discount.

Have you considered quitting gaming? All this intense over-analysis of such trivial issues must surely be impacting adversely on your enjoyment of this hobby.

It's totally reasonable to expect native 1080p from this gen of consoles. PC has done it for ages and is moving toward 4K. Most HDTV's are 1080p, and it just looks nicer when you're able to have the game's native resolution match the TV's resolution.
I'm sorry it's so hard for people to understand that gameplay quality is entirely up to the talent of the developer, not the resolution.

Are you guys saying that Tropical Freeze is overall better than Returns? I haven't played either properly but it's hard to get a clear verdict from the reviews.
