People complaining for the sake of complaining, and everyone else falling for the trolling as if they've never seen it happen before. It's nothing new from the internet.
If you read the rest of the article, it's probably not because they don't want to, but because they can't due to the technology of the two systems being so different. It does sound like they want to find a way around the technology differences. We don't know the complete specs of the system yet.
Would love for them to find a way, though. Gaikai could be what they need to make things work.
It will be PS4. All the clues and rumors and hype are going to that. Sony can't seem to keep the cat in the bag.
But out of all those other headlines, "PlayStation Home gets a makeover and replaces the XMB as a central hub" is the one that I think they should've done when they first launched Home. Given that they pushed that hard yet buried it in a XMB submenu to where no one could find the bloody thing, they missed a terrific opportunity there. Perhaps ther...
If people buy it for special things knowing that primary functions of the PSN (like, I don't know, playing games online) remain free, then it's making them something, right?
What I want to know is why in the blue hell do we continue to give Patcher press? The guy is constantly wrong, yet he continues to be asked about things and is given spotlight after spotlight. What is game journalism's hard on for this guy about?
The big difference between Steam and the new tech that was patented is that with Steam, you still have the option of going out, getting that hard copy, and (assuming there's no draconian DRM involved on the disc) do what you think you should do with the disc without incident. Steam doesn't stop you from doing that, and I want to say that they have some form of allowance for game sharing, but I can't say that for sure. Also, keep in mind that many PC games have user created mods th...
I wouldn't want a game system that would restrict used game playability. There are several good things that come out of being able to resell your games when you've played all you can play out of a game, and locking people out of doing that would strike as being nothing more than a complete lack of consumer goodwill. It's the copy of the person that bought it. If they want to sell it to someone else or let someone else borrow that copy, then that should be their right, and our &quo...
Though I agree with you on that it didn't need anyone talking for the game to be good, I know what game you're referring to, and I disagree that Samus should return to being a silent protagonist, and you can't judge a Metroid game's quality solely on that because she's had a voice in other games besides that one. Nintendo has way too many silent protagonists as it is in their lineup of games, and Metroid should not fall into that trap of following the status quo. It's ...
Besides Hunters, which just had a control scheme that I just couldn't get used to, the Metroid series has been ranked up there for me as one of the best game series ever. Prime (and its sequels) rank up there as no exception to this rule. Although I like 3 the best because its control scheme fit everything for a FPS, the rest of the series was very well done and showed us what Retro could do. I hope that their next game is an original IP, because if they could get it right with a franchis...
The problem with what you have said, though, is that when you have an exclusive game, then you only have to worry about that one system's specs, and thus, can use those specs to their fullest. If, for instance, you make a PS3 exclusive game, then you will only have to worry about if the PS3 can handle something you're doing, and not if some other game system can handle the same graphics or sound quality. It can be easier that way.
However, when you make a game multipl...
Yeah, it would've been a lot more creditable if they didn't go down that route. Regardless of what you might think about the games or the system they were exclusive for, the thing is that those games generated a lot of great reviews and sales figures. Even in the day when the PS3 wasn't doing so hot (like in 2007, the worst year for the Playstation franchise's history), people still looked at the first Uncharted as a great game that people would actually want to play and buy t...
Nice to see you can troll without getting the point the person you trolled is trying to make.
Good for you to completely miss the point and be immature about it.
To be fair, that doesn't exactly mean that they are or aren't. This is Kotaku, but we should note what has happened in the past:
- Thing gets leaked
- Thing gets taken down on basis that there are "no plans to do something like that".
- Thing gets confirmed later on like it's some big surprise.
And...isn't Halo and Halo 2 already on PC in some way?
I doubt it's a new Prime game. Those games were special on their own, and I wouldn't want Nintendo to give in to people who have nothing better to do than to rant and bitch about every little thing.
Other M was good, and had good ideas that they can expand upon if players are willing to give them a chance to do so. Interquels are usually very tough to introduce new lore into a franchise, especially to a franchise like Metroid that was both gameplay driven up until rec...
The only problem could come with those games that have multiple pieces of DLC that all have their own trophy lists. If you have something for a game like, let's say, Burnout Paradise, that has a few DLC packs that add new trophies to the game, the amount of bars that would end up being there would just crowd everything up, and the end result would just get messy. Where would all those bars go that would keep things as neat and tidy as they are.
I could understand if a ga...
Did it ever occur to anyone that these two people might just be damn good gamers?
Or did it ever occur to anyone that there are serious gaming competitions around the world that reward the winners handsomely?
Perhaps they are just better gamers than we are! We're probably just jealous at their epicness!
I think the problem comes in the expression. We don't know how to behave, and the internet is making what is already a bad situation worse because it's giving us seemly unlimited anonymity.
Yes, we are passionate about our hobby, and yes, we would defend it to the death. Problem is, when we go to actually SAY such things and express our views, what does 75% of the comments consist of? Nothing mature and nothing that would tell anyone that we know what we're talkin...
I agree that it IS ridiculous that you get the shit from that console's fanboys on this site (no matter which console's fanboys come out to play) to spite your criticism of said console. It's not just Sony's. Microsoft's have done that too.
It's just the sad state of affairs this gen because the internet has escalated it. Can't have a serious discussion about gaming topics that affect all of us and represent both sides in the discussion without an ...
Which wouldn't get exposure and publicity if you would just ignore it.
Thing is, corporations speak money, and if you don't buy something they put out, then they do get the message. It DOES go down to monetary worth because these people run a business. They are there to make money. If they don't make money off of something, then they will just not do it and try something else.
But doing this just gives things exposure and more potential buyers, wh...
Then don't buy it, which is what the guy in the article said!
If a person thinks that the thing sucks, then fine, but people shouldn't whine and cry about them making it like two year olds. How many people now know about this thing existing because the few people that knew about it bitched about it? Now people are curious and may want to buy it, and give the publishers incentive to do more of that.
And really, even if it isn't what they thought i...
Nothing wrong with broadcasting your opinions as long as you can back them up with concrete facts. This article might or might not (I haven't read it myself because it sounds like this is more of the latter), but that doesn't mean we shouldn't welcome newer and/or smaller sites that are trying to make a name for themselves by having a brash opinion, even if it's one we venomously disagree with.
As long as they can back it up, and as long as it looks like they...
