Easy for them to say when they are bank rolled by Sony.

I love LBP and Media Molecule are obviously amazingly talented, but of course profit is a motivator - if you don't make a profit, you can't grow and re-invest.

I see where he's coming from, and I think that the people actually creating the games should not be motivated by profit, as development is creative endeavour. Let the people who own the development studio and the publisher worry about...

Unless there's a technological reason for it, I doubt it'll be only on PS3. Activision and MS are far too close for that to happen.

Agreed.

I was just pointing out the flaw in matey's post that suggests no one could come up with anything that functions like the WiiU Tablet.

I'm pretty sure that Bungie did a deal that allows them autonomy, and retention of all IP they create. Pretty unheard of in the industry, which shows the clout Bungie have. It seems to me they are effectively operating like an independent, but with funding and guaranteed publishing from Activision.

Whilst we don't know every line of the deal they did with Activision, I don't think they are hugely restricted by their new corporate masters. In which case they cou...

Rubbish! No doubt Ninty has patented aspects of the WiiU tablet controller - , but Sony could just as easily allow the Vita to be used as a PS3 controller and do just about everything the WiiU tablet does, in and in some cases more.

Thanks for the recommendation. Been meaning to give that game a go for a while

I also dislike that there is no ambiguity allowed in many games. For example, if I choose to go for max good alignment, then usually every decision I make has to be along those lines. But as in real life, sometimes even a really good person would do something that they consider bad.

Most games with moral dilemmas only reward the extremes of behaviour (i.e Fable 2 changing the look of the character ); but if a gamers makes each moral choice based on the dilemma presented (ra...

"Ubisoft: Wii U 'will change the video game industry'"

And yet I'd say it's a fair bet one of the first games they launch being another insipid Raving Rabbids game!

Good. I don't think any dev has fully cracked the morality thing in games. Sure, give us moral choices which impact the story / game world (like in Bioshock 1 with the Little Sisters), but don't try and build a full game mechanic around it unless it absolutely works.

I hated the morality choices in the Fable series; inFamous wasn't a whole lot better.

I don't really buy the argument that PC gamers have such massive FPS choice compared to console owners. There are a few big games, and the rest is filler. It's the same one PS3 fans use to explain lower exclusive sales.

I can't find exact numbers, but on the EA forums a dev posted that the split of BC2 sales was 50% 360, 30% PS3, 20% PC. but there is debate whether that figure included PC digital downloads.

I'm not saying that PC games don&...

What?

This isn't a Vita version of a WiiU game (considering it hasn't even been announced for WiiU). It is a rumour that there will be a port from the PS3 / 360 versions to Vita and/or Wii U.

Also, you realise that the Vita doesn't need to be as powerful as the WiiU/PS3/360 as it's outputting to a lower res screen?

And since when can the Vita only do 'standard def 2D'? And I love how you have insider knowledge that ...

My gaming is split between PS3 and PC pretty evenly, but I'm really not seeing a huge resurgence in PC gaming.

I'm seeing a bigger push toward indie gaming. And a push toward digital downloads, but in general shelf space for PC games in bricks and mortar stores is declining.

To have a resurgence should mean that either PC games are selling the same or more than console games; or growth of PC gaming is faster than console gaming.

I&...

And of course there hasn't been a single case of motion sickness or possible eye strain using a 3DS /s

Only EVIL Sony is looking to destroy the eyes of children everywhere!!

If you look at Move, it really is a great complimentary technology for use in VR.

Move will not go away with the PS4; and whenever Sony launch VR (if they do) I'll bet it'll work well with Move)

EDIT: And Move was not meant to revitalise the PS3 - because the PS3 didn't need revitalising. It was just another controller. Sony didn't bet the farm on it; it was purely to compete with Wii and support their strategy of 3D (and by the sounds of ...

Well said! Playing games is not the same as supporting a football team.

I'm looking forward to playing both games.

If a title is no longer in production, was never released in a particular region, and is not available through other means (such as Digi Download / re-issue) - then I would say that it is acceptable within reason.

Where things get blurry is around the re-issue. With services such as Nintendo's Virtual Console, or PS1 games on PSN there's a chance a game will be re-issued at some point. If that's the case then a person should buy the game through that channel. H...

Seems like N4G needs a 'humour' tag!!!

A lot of people make it their mission to be argumentative, up their own backsides and push uniformed opinion as fact on the internet. So they can't see past advanced concepts like 'humour', 'irony', 'reading comprehension' and so on! :)

If we get to Avatar style graphics, say hello to games that cost double what they do now and take way longer to develop!
