Hell at this point I feel like Sony might as well be owned by Naughty Dog. If there was a Naughty Dog console that only played their games, I'd buy the hell out of it.
Are the textures hd? Seems like i remember reading that Naughty Dog created full hd textures but they had to scale them down for release? Either way, those extra p's are all the reason I need to dive back in, which is to say I'd replay those games for absolutely any reason whatsoever because they are the most fun a man can have w/ a controller in hand
We're getting 'Vi-arity' from 'Stefon'? Tell me mord!
Using that narrative, then the best case scenario here is that MS flat out lied to Darkside about the quality of their work in the early build, then Ken Lobb lied to consumers as well about the quality of what he played & the breadth of it. There's every chance that the article is false & the sources were lying through their teeth, but I tend to believe the studios in these kinds of situations. Otherwise we'd have to believe that everything we read from the horses' mouth i...
Yup I have to agree. Something going on that I'm surprised no site has mentioned is the Arkham Knight prequel comic books, in an issue the Arkham Knight specifically makes mention of Batman knowing him & alludes to the fact that they worked together in the past...there really aren't many other possibilities in the Arkham universe aside from Jason Todd.
Especially when you consider their no doubt massive marketing budget, none of which actually works. How much do you think MS paid to have a surface tablet in basically every single show on tv & to premiere game trailers in the massive Walking Dead season finale? At the end of the day, I personally would rather have my creative companies spend their money on actual creative endeavors instead of pissing it away trying to market to people that don't really care either way. I'm sure t...
haha he's actually writing what should be the true list. The actual list on the site is trying to insinuate (and downright claim it to be fact) that Origins is the best installment. The kid that wrote it obviously doesn't understand much about games & writing in general, opinions aside. To say that Origins has a better story would typically be subjective, but Paul Dini is easily in the top 5 writers of Batman history, so its pretty clear that he has a better grasp on the story he&...
I don't know if 'starting to' is the right term. This site has been littered w/ articles like these for a year or two now. You could see the sea change from editors asking writers to write decent pieces about things they enjoy to asking for the most controversial headline possible, regardless of how thin the actual content would be. You should've seen the "Breaking Bad Plot Holes" article, it was obviously written by someone w/ absolutely no idea what they were talki...
This just in, in news that everyone saw coming, no matter how hard they tried to believe otherwise….
I'm personally glad that Quantum Break gets the fighting chance it deserves to play to a larger base on release, Holiday 2015 would most likely have seen it lost in the shuffle. Hopefully this time next year the Xbox will have a masterpiece on its hands.
Yup. And now that servers for titles are dying sooner & sooner, all of those people who bought Evolve will be left w/ a blank space or a coaster in a year or two's time. People talk about mp creating replayibility, but when your lobbies are empty w/in a month & your game is dead in the water not long after, forget your replay ability, you won't even have 'playability'…at least a good offline single player component can be played for eternity, all mp has an expiration d...
It definitely looks like something special. That Metal Slug 3 looks like a treat for Contra fans as well. Those two & Shovel Knight are all on my playlist most definitely. I like my platformer/shooters more linear, I couldn't really get into Mercenary Kings' timed mission based/high score deal & procedurally generated stuff like Rogue Legacy kills the enjoyment of learning a game like the back of your hand w/ multiple playthroughs. They are both great & worthy titles for m...

I think the status of the live action component is meant to be a little more involved than the Bright Falls stuff from Alan Wake, and I assumed it would be released under the new (& now defunct?) banner of Xbox Originals, whose stuff had been seeing imdb pages & updates. Either way, Ashmore & Monaghan were cast for the actual game, not for the live action component. The rights to the actors likenesses are different in either situation & I'd sa...
The article makes some pretty big assumptions. Namely in that this is some delay in response to the quality of Games with Gold. While the GwG titles are all solid, they are still very old titles, the newest being last gen versions of current gen games. I personally would rather have them keep the more boutique newer titles like Valiant Hearts coming, who needs a second copy of a game they already bought for 10 bucks in the bargain bin? GwGs newest wave of titles seem to be aimed at a strange ...
Is there any kind of story component or recreation of any set pieces or environments from the movie or is it just new cars?
If I'm not mistaken, there was a tweet from an actual MS employee replying to the fake one that basically also alluded to the game potentially being delayed & being all the better for it. I highly doubt QB drops this year unless Remedy has been re staffed from the ground up by people more invested in deadlines. Alan Wake took 5 years from announcement to release, and it was a relatively straightforward title w/ no tv element. Considering we haven't even seen any casting for the li...
That is a good point, but if history is anything to go by, Halo 5 will release broken or not. Halo MCC was announced very close to release, was obviously broken, and still not delayed. The title could've definitely benefitted from an understandable delay, but MS is so married to that Holiday release frame that they won't allow anything to be moved from it. I wonder how Rise of the Tomb Raider will fare this season after a relatively quick turnaround from the last title, but that's...
Shovel Knight looks pretty special to me, definitely pumped to play that one on PS4
Did they not announce it as being PS4 exclusive on release w/ support for other platforms afterwards? What would the difference between that & "timed exclusive" be? Regardless of what the behind the scenes deals may be, if a game is exclusively on a platform for a time, doesn't that qualify?
I agree about the discrepancy between the cutscenes & gameplay. Most games have grown past that old trend of that harsh jump between the two, so that game being bookended by those cgi cutscenes is pretty archaic when playing. Seems like that'll be the case again w/ this title, instead of creating cutscenes in-engine, those early cinematics are obviously not going to be indicative of actual gameplay.
Yeah it looks amazing but no part of recent history suggests that the footage will be indicative of the final product in any way. DICE does have a penchant for delivering some amazing graphics so I guess it'll be a looker but I somehow doubt that this won't be downgraded. Honestly more than anything its a no go for me because of the lack of a single player component. I'd love to play the game & expansion of lore, but I don't do online mp so what was once highly anticipated...
