Yeah, it's definitely fake. The amount of grammatical errors and typos in this supposed magazine scan should be evidence of that, as well as their inability to spell the names of the developers correctly.

Far too many great IPs have been ruined by developers needlessly ruining a winning formula for the sake of trying something new just because. I think that Sega should be congratulated for finally listening to the fans and giving them what they actually want.

Free DLC is excellent news, but it's a little disappointing that the first of their content drops only contains one new map. Previous Uncharted games gave players four multiplayer maps with each pack so it would be a shame to see additional content scaled-back so significantly when the game only shipped with eight maps. Definitely looking forward to the reveal though, hopefully Skelzor & co. make a return to the character roster as well.

I sincerely hope that you're right.

Well, regarding TTIP, our best bet of avoiding that and the eventual privatization of the NHS was by remaining in the EU because multiple EU members would veto the deal. Our Conservative government, however? They are eager to privatize the NHS and will sign us up to the TTIP at the first opportunity, especially since prominent Brexiters such as Nigel Farage have openly stated that they think the NHS should be scrapped in favor of private healthcare for everyone. Even this morning, when called...

I'm not so sure that collectively dousing our country in petrol and setting it alight in front of the entire world was worth it on the basis of preventing a little censorship in a video game. Don't get me wrong, I like The Last of Us, but the real dictators that you should fear will be coming into office in October, and much like the European officials that so many people hate, those seizing control of the UK will also be unelected.

I don't see how or why consumers would be confused by that since it's really quite simple given how there's only two platforms to differentiate. Look at Apple and the iPad for example, you have a choice of the iPad Pro, the iPad Air 2, the iPad mini 2 & iPad mini 4 right now, all of which come in varying configurations depending on what the user specifically wants. If you look at the rest of the Apple range of devices the vast differences in power and prices is even greater, y...

I think that this is the first time I've seen someone claim that Watch Dogs 2 stole the show at E3.

I think the point he's making is that Steam is incredibly successful whereas the Windows Store is a growing platform, therefore Valve doesn't need those first-party games on their service as much as Microsoft does. That seems to be why he's keeping the big hitters exclusive to the Windows 10 store, and in the above article he even states his intention to compete.

I think that you're being very optimistic with your 2018 prediction. Kojima takes a long time to make games.

Seeing this game just makes me miss the SSX franchise even more.

I think that one thing to be optimistic about is definitely the emphasis on hardware being both backwards and forwards compatible. People should have confidence knowing that the games they purchase (especially if they're buying digitally) will continue to function on new and updated hardware, and seeing both Microsoft and Sony confirm as much regarding the Scorpio and Neo is excellent news.

Hopefully this trend continues as we move forward and PlayStation owners can con...

The concept of megaton announcements is a little strange in this context I think, does it really matter if something isn't megaton as long as it looks fun? The appeal of each game is entirely subjective of course but I think that the general consensus on games such as Dead Rising 4 and Forza Horizon 3 is that they look like fun games, which is surely what counts at the end of the day? Microsoft didn't revive a long forgotten IP so obviously the surprise factor was lacking (especially ...

They have so many great IPs that could be revived. I see that Fight Night, Skate and SSX have already been mentioned, and I'd like to add Dead Space and Burnout to that list as well.

Great to see the goofy side of the game is still intact, but a little more color would be nice!

Good review. The single-player campaign is enjoyable and it's nice to see Nate have one final hurrah before the series retires, but I think that the multiplayer component would have benefited from more attention, and perhaps a return to the drawing board in regards to certain aspects.

Microsoft doesn't release their games on Steam, they're exclusive to the Windows store on PC. EA and Blizzard also keep their games off Steam, with their titles exclusive to Origin and Battlenet. I think that Sony has started publishing some of their games on Steam, though.

Well, I think the main point is that Doom itself was such an incredibly fun game and that there is in fact so much potential to add and improve to the base game. The author of the Brutal Doom mod has added a huge amount to the original game, so much so that I think it's fair to say that the recent Doom reboot itself was inspired by the Brutal Doom mod (the melee executions especially). There is also still a very vibrant and active community of people who create levels for this game and th...

And they'd have the branding and market penetration to pull it off. Valve didn't have much commitment to Steam machines outside of providing rough guidelines to various manufacturers and working on an OS tailored for gaming. Comparatively, it looks like Microsoft simply has to offer the option to boot into Windows 10 if someone wants to and then they're opening the Windows store up to Xbox customers.

Is the titan shielding the pilot in that image? It looks like it's reaching out to protect the pilot from gunfire while set to follow mode.
