"Not hating on anybody who liked Duke Nukem games, but WHO is actually asking or wanting a new Duke Nukem game?"
- For one, oldschool gamers who remember what fps games were like in their "golden age," whether it be for the gameplay they miss, or simply for nostalgia. For two, it isn't so much about wanting a Duke Nukem game as it is wanting a good shooter. As long as the game delivers a solid experience, it will gain the interest of players.

Duke Nukem without humor and misogynistic themes, is like Batman without gadgets and the batmobile.
It's a low blow in it's context/tone - like a passive aggressive remark. Sony has done this in the past, especially Jack Tretton.
"The "sharing" video was maybe a bit of a low blow, but in good humor, and again, MS set themselves up for it."
- "Set themselves up for it?" typical apologist mindset. We are talking about multinational corporations, not chums poking fun at the school playground... This whole "got what th...
The GoW universe could work as a strategy title. It could be like Halo Wars - it was *a" Halo game but not the *the* Halo game - the same philosophy could apply here.
I would honestly like to see the next Gears focus on class-based team objective gameplay, and when I say "objective" I don't mean hold the point of capture the flag... I mean like like a series of objectives that lead to win, with different classes/abilities need for different objectives, lik...
Agreed. They should take the Blizzard/Valve approach and release it, "when it's done."
I'm not talking about the MS deal vs your made up deal. I'm talking about the 2 ads the story is about... There is no mention anywhere of privately selling a PS3, and pocketing the cash, and the second "deal" isn't even a deal - it's a fan-made ad poking fun at MS, so even the idea of selling your PS3 isn't a real "deal" - it's all made up in your head.
This doesn't prove that the leaks are confirmed...
A company could easily seek legal action in a situation like this, due to the leaker simply spreading lies or misinformation, especially if said leaks could lead to misrepresenting the company and/or their goals/agendas. It also doesn't help when said leaks receive attention and start garnering response within the community.

"your math is incorrect
(MS deal) start with $499 - PS3 = $399 - xbox one = $0
(1 NEXT GEN CONSOLE ONLY)
(no deal) start with PS3 + $399 - PS4 = $0 + PS3
(1 NEXT GEN + 1 PREV GEN)"
- that doesn't change the math....and I already addressed the loss of the PS3 in my initial post:
"in either case, you will brake even, with the only thing actually lost through the trade-in is the PS3, wh...
"The PS4 is still a better deal though and the multiplats prove it."
- this is opinion and doesn't change the validity of my claim.
You're naive if you think Sony is "ignoring" what MS is doing. Sony is doing what they tend to do - play it safe. They lurk in the shadows of MS, watching their announcements, their reveals and all their blunders and/or glory, and then learn from community feedback/response, to help shape their next move.
I'm not saying Sony isn't innovative or can;t do anything without MS - Sony has proven that this isn't the case, but in terms of controversial subj...
Technically, it isn't accurate.
In retaliation to the MS ad, it states that you could keep your PS3 and save $100 by purchasing a PS4, however, MS is offering people $100 for their PS3, so the money they get for the trade in makes up the price difference, so people who decide to simply buy a PS4 outright opposed to trading in their PS3, technically aren't saving any money vs doing the trade in deal - in either case, you will brake even, with the only thing actually lo...

"What is this talk of "jealousy", what is there to be jealous about? Another FPS, COD clone with mechs, bad AI and only 6v6, all while only running at a last gen res of 720p?! Yeah, Sony fanboys should be SO JEALOUS."
- that is only one perspective to look at it. Regardless if you think Titanfall looks about as fun as a bag of doorknobs, it is a new IP and it is likely to sell very well. The success of the game alone, could be...

"Forza graphics have been downgraded since the E3 demo. go check it out and compare. that's your reason why it's running at 60fps 1080p"
- But it still runs at native 1080p/60fps, so his point is still valid... what you are saying just helps to illustrate what I said above:
"lower res games can look better than higher res ones. Ex - A 1080p game with low res textures, vs a 720p game with high res textures."...
@dantesparda
You can spout percentages all day, like many do, but unless you can explain what those percentages actually equate to in real world benefits, they mean little. Spouting off bold claims such as "125% resolution advantage" looks impressive, but what does it actually entail, because looking at simple comparison vids, the game does not look 125% clearer than the X1 version... You are not accounting for diminishing returns, and the fact that the human eye ca...

"Hardware before software. If you build it they will come."
- funny how how the Wii outsold both PS3 and 360...
That being said, the differences between multiplats thus far, are negligible. Watching comparison vids, there is no definitive winner - the consoles trade blows with one another. If the PS4 had as big of a power difference over the X1 as many claim, then it wouldn't even be debatable which version looks/run...
@DragonKnight
Your rant has absolutely nothing to do with anything. First party studio, third party studio? It doesn't matter, because it is irrelevant to the the comment:
"Why is anyone surprised by this? This is Microsoft people. Why give Xbox fans a new, potentially GOTY IP that they can build on when they can just give you more of the same that they've been giving you for the past 8 years?"
- There is no mention of any s...
I know a lot of console fans are going to disagree with my statement, but it's just how it is. Without getting into a huge m/kb vs controller debate, I'll just put this out there:
Virtually every advantage the mouse has over a controller, is a technical one. An advantage that can be proven and reproduced in test conditions. They are faster, more responsive, more precise, and easier to maintain accuracy at higher speeds, which is why many m/kb user play using sensitivi...

Are they're going to continue to post sales figures throughout the life-cycle of the consoles? This is a gaming site, not a site for investors and shareholders. These sales aren't going to effect the enjoyment people get from their consoles. I played BF4 with friends last night for like 5 hours straight - I really don't think I would've had more or less fun, based on how many Xbox One's are selling, same goes for any other game I play as well. The amount of other people bu...
