I wouldn't say Microsoft got off scott free, as fanboys and hater's still bring it up on a daily basis.
Also, by 2010 we should have seen an Xbox 360 successor, had it been a typical 5 year cycle. The core gamer that was going to buy an Xbox 360 had already bought one, Microsoft needed to do something to stay relevant and so they came out with Kinect, Sony attempted to capture some of those "soccer moms" by releasing Move, it just wasn't as well received...
That is a nice list, but a lot of those games we've heard no announcements on, or any information for years. They could have switched development to the next gen console or might have been cancelled.
The Last Of Us is definitely one I'll be getting, I think I pre-ordered the Collectors Edition of GOWA as well.
I have to disagree with you, Nintendo is betting that people are hungry for new hardware. The Wii U will be the most powerful console, for at least the next year or so.
Its also the first Nintendo HD console, Nintendo's first real online enabled console and of course the hardcore gamer's and hardcore Nintendo fans are going to want the latest thing.
The core gamer has already adopted the console or consoles of his/her choice. This is why Microsoft la...
Just look at all the insecure disagrees and comments. I speak the truth, the PS3 is hard to develop for, it has lower system memory than the Xbox 360.
If it had easier architecture and more memory you don't think the PS3 would have had Dawnguard by now?
I point out that they hyped the PS3 as future proof, which it clearly wasn't, and people get pissed off. Its the way of N4G, but its not my fault Sony didn't think ahead. I also closed my statemen...
That is all I'd pay for the monitor. Its not a television and the screen is far too small for any kind of real 3-D aspect. I have a 60 inch LED in my living room, I don't like 3-D glasses, but as a monitor I'd get one at $99.
Also, check the feedback on those sets, they tend to black out often and have issues.
Its not the same though, which is why I'm still a proud owner of a Dreamcast and VGA cables.
They are taking the high road, but its clear that if the PS3 was a bit easier to program for and had the system memory that was required there wouldn't be a problem in the first place.
I remember hearing a word thrown around a lot "future proof", but when you have issues like lack of party chat and a lot of third party games that run poorly on the console (Orange Box, Oblivion, Skyrim, Bayonetta and Call Of Duty games) just to name a few.

Mario changed, he went from 2D to 3D with Super Mario 64, and that might be one of his finest games.
He changed again with Mario Galaxy and that is one of the best reviewed games this generation.
Zelda has had MASSIVE changes throughout its history.
Metal Gear has had changes as well, it was originally on the NES and even the PS1 title was drastically different than MGS4, which abandoned stealth and went for a more act...
Nope, if you don't like them, it doesn't affect you in any way. For those that do like them, they add replay value and other challenges, we actually get more from our games.
Or you could work overtime or get a second job!
That is kind of sad really, the guy is an actor, he isn't really involved with Sony on any other level.
Cant wait to get this game on Tuesday! Microsoft must love making me poor!
Did you rant this hard against Sony when they fired their entire marketing department and those guys all went and trashed Sony for lack of direction?
I figured this would get a lot of heat, but how if this disgruntled "ex" employee any different than disgruntled "ex" employees of Sony? The only difference is that this is a former Microsoft employee so it must all be true, while the ex Sony employees were obviously let go for good reason right?
Resident Evil is a highly anticipated title that comes from a great series. Even though the vocal minority seem to hate on the game, lots of people are enjoying the game. It'll probably sell quite well. I loved it, sure it wasn't scary, but RE games stopped being scary after the first one, you knew what was coming by then.
Not sure how a 15 year old franchise could continue down the same path it originally was on and be successful.
I can definitely see this game getting some Game Of The Year awards. A lot of those awards are political and its often hard for an exclusive game to win those, but Halo 4 looks and sounds amazing.
I'm expecting really high scores and really high sales. In a lot of ways, this is the first Halo game, since its really 343's first game. I hope reviewers don't slap 9.5's or 9's just because its Halo, I want it to be a great and new Halo experience on its own m...
Already bought RE6, but I have Forza Horizon, Assassins Creed 3 and Fable The Journey bought and paid for as well. Great month to be gaming!
People use the terms "hardcore" and "casual" for whatever suits their arguing needs.
When I was young gaming was a "kids" thing to do, now people are trying to label it something else, I do believe that there are different types of gamer's, as in what appeals to them, but I wouldn't try to really label any of them core or casual.
I know some people who buy and play nothing but sports games, they play them often and onlin...

We aren't forcing anyone to give us oil, we spent around $90 a barrel, sometimes its more. Which is why gas is so expensive.
Some people obviously need a history lesson. We didn't even want to get involved in WWII, we had other countries (Mainly England) absolutely BEGGING us to get involved. Other countries throughout history have done the same thing.
Wait, so you think countries like Iran producing Nuclear weapons is a good thing? T...

I'm not confused, had it been a few years later the Dreamcast would have been fine, of course it would of needed to include a broadband adapter instead of the 56k modem.
Sega's plan was to draw on the gaining momentum when it came to online gaming. Sony's PS2 was a part as well, but if people had access to the type of internet like we do now, who knows?
I do know DSL didn't come to where I lived until 2003, cable in...
People leave developers, that doesn't mean the games and franchises wont be fine. When Bungie left people thought Halo would suck, but 343i looks to be putting their own touch on Halo and Master Chief and it looks like the best one ever.
Remedy sold off Max Payne and Rockstar did a great job with MP3.
A different company made Little Big Planet for the Vita and people are saying that is the definitive version.
Peter M left Lionhead and I e...
