Big Dead Space fan and played the recent demo and I have some big concerns.

First, the series is in its third game and going on six years old and the controls are feeling a bit clunky now. It does not feel smooth or shooter friendly like a Gear of War game and its a problem. The controls were meant for a slower gameplay style found in DS 1 and DS 2 pushed it with more combat. Now with the combat even more intense with more enemies and ones that shoot, the controls don&...

well for me if they are close it comes down to the gamepad and my thumbs have much problems with the PS3 controller sticks and my hands relax much better holding the 360 controller, so its not just vsync or which system cutscenes look better on. Just saying.

This article has one objective and that is flame bait. Good grief Crysis 2 didn't even look that bad two years ago on the 360 with a nice plasma TV.

I believe your scifi COD hybrid answers will be answered in the future. Rumor is that the former founders of Infinity Ward that formed Respawn are working on that very type of game you hint at.

First off Rockstar likes to promote and hype their games, this would be two months away and its not official, they will use more lead time then that to create hype. I think journalists are grasping at straws for anything to write.

Secondly, why would Microsoft agree to launch the new Gears of War game on March 19th, that wouldn't be enough time to get their sales in before a huge game like GTA V takes up all the market in sales.

Nah I am not buying. ...

As others have said and as a fan of the series, Platinum Games or Sony Santa Monica would be perfect new homes. My only worry is keeping the art style created by Joe Mad consistent going forward or would they go a diffeent art style for Darksiders?

same here. big fan of this franchise. The snow and ice planet didn't bother me as much as it offers a new environment to enperience and the weapons crafting is nice, but two things bothered me.

First the cover system seems poor and unnecessary in a game like this. Fighting enemy necros shooting seems forced and this ties into my second concern.

Dead Space is going on it's third game and is now feeling a bit clunky in the control department, whi...

Played both, but enjoyed 2 better than the first. Sorry that Vigil did not get a bid, but like the article said, 2 million is a tall order for a mid-tier game that isn't promoted like a AAA franchise. So, sounds like time and money mis-management, but that is why THQ was in the mess they were in with all they games.

I am glad to hear Platinum is interested and I know they would excell in the gameplay and can envision them making DS 3 with Strife as the character and w...

During wolf's dying words, the first thing I thought was fans screaming about this not being a Metal Gear proper game in relation to freedom to expand the universe against franchise fan backlash, but your point makes sense as well.

freedom not defined......there is no freedom....aahhhhhh.

Me to. Ironside was Sam Fisher for 5 games, 10 years, and two console generations. If they wanted to change it then it should be a new character. In my opinion, this is much worse then those complaining about the new DMC, cause at least that was called out as a reboot origin story. That is not the way this new Splinter Cell is being marketed.

First the excuse was motion capture was extensive and Ironside couldn't do it, but that is crap because technology is such th...

Not to sound dumb but x + square? I know parry is LS + X but what is square on 360?

Is Dark Arisen supposed to be a seperate Dragon's Dogma expansion/game or is it in sense like what Fallout did and its all DLC in one package and can be purchased as such at retail with DLC option for existing Dogma owners?

I played demo last night and really enjoyed it. A friend of mine didn't and complained about the lack of a dodge button. I agreed with his point, but I explained that the in air strong attack (in air Y) attacks as a homing attack on your enemy and ninja sprint gets you out. Although its not as simple as a dodge, it works the same way. I also noticed that Raiden can take more punishment then your typical character, like Dante for example, cause he is part Cyborg. So, I think the game ...

I have supported MS alot this and last gen, but I also had Playstations. My XBLA Gold runs out in August, which I planned so I could see what these next consoles offered.

With that said, what has really keep me favoring Xbox is cross game chat and friends, however, if PS4 has cross game chat and continues free online multiplayer, then that is a big strike against the new xbox.

Lastly if the article actually becomes true and the new Xbox uses 3 of 8 RAM G...

will it be over the top, cheesey, and gruesome like Shadows of the Damned? If so I am on board.

No wishing

There is a difference of expressing ones opinion and just plain troll hating and that is what Metacritic user ratings have become, a big hang out for troll hating. Many of the top games from last year have lower than should be user ratings. It has become a problem and makes the industry and its consumers look bad and metacritic should shut user ratings for all games down on that site.

I will defend anyones right to their opinion but I draw a ...

you said fans don't want to see the franchise butchered. Well I am a fan and DMC 2 & 4 sucked butt, the last great DMC game was 3 and that was like 9 years ago, so stop fooling yourself talking about butchered. This new game is pretty good, which makes it the first good DMC game in nearly a decade.

I have been following his work for years, beginning when he started work at Gamespot. Brad is straight forward and tells it like it is, for instance is was spot on with his recent RE6 review. Although, 5/5 seems high, you have to remember that Giant Bomb does not award 1/2 stars and Brad felt it was better than a 4/5.

I agree with many of his points, especially that the games atmosphere, aesthics, and gameplay are great and feel fresh and this reboot has given life to a d...

See all the haters of the DMC reboot, about the hair and the emo look, have been riding this game and related articles for like 1 1/2 years. Now they just can't handle it when the realization comes that it turned out pretty great. For whatever reason they wanted it and NT to fail no matter what, unfortunately for them, their crusade is over and they can't accept their dreams of failure for this game did not come true, lol.

I personally was not fond of the reveal, ...
