"Hope your game bombs and takes you with it."

Hope you don't comment again. We don't need this kind of attitude, honestly.

As far as mobile gaming goes, Iphones are easily the best. This was the case for some time now because of infinity blade. Games like Sky will make sure it stays that way.

There are only a few games that more 'hardcore gamers' will appreciate. Those include games like Infinity Blade series and Real Racing 3 are examples of that. RR3 is available on Android, and works fine. Great if you like sim-type games. Just remember to turn off all the assists and the automatic...

Well, I'm not defending against this, but I will defend against the WSJ "Anti-Semitic" bullshit. That was a disgrace to journalism. After that, I simply don't trust big outlets anymore. I hope people don't use this event as an excuse to treat that one as if it were true (unfortunately it will happen).

I agree with the general point of your comment, but there is one thing I want to comment on.

" Everything is a joke, whether it's racism, harassment, or any other kind of abuse."

And that is basically comedy in a nutshell, or atleast a large section of it. I mean, right there, you are describing a lot of world renowned comedians. You know why Pewdiepie's rape jokes were revolting to so many people ? because they aren't done very well...

Sorry, but it does.

It was rape jokes then, now it's using derogatory words that are widely considered unacceptable. He is the biggest youtuber, and he is a big part of the image of gaming to outsiders.

Actually having hate for people of different races. That's what makes you racist.

When people make jew jokes, that doesn't make them racist. If it did, there would be a lot of comedians out there that people love, who are apparently racist. Sorry, it doesn't work that way. Humour, especially crude humour can be offensive to some people, and that's the real issue here. You need to know where to draw the line.

You think Pewdiepie used the ...

'Racist' means someone who actually has hate for a different race. If you want to define racist by the words or jokes that people tell, then go ahead, but that's not the definition I use.

Hearing things repeatedly makes you think they are more acceptable. It's about the culture you're in. This is true and easy to see no matter where you look. It's the reason that people on the internet swear so much - it's just internet culture. It's the reason that youtube comments are the way they are, it's the reason kids swear so much etc etc. These things are acceptable to some people, but unacceptable with others.

It's the same with this N w...

Pewdiepie's content is crude and immature, and it damages the perception of gaming, for sure. His use of the N word was simply too far - it's not funny, it's distasteful. Same can be said about the rape jokes he used to make. Don't think he makes them now, but I remember many years back I was so put off because of that, and didn't watch his videos or subscribe because of that.

That said, the 'anti-semitic' thing was bullshit. WSJ article was a jo...

"Scorpio really wouldn't have any trouble running the game in 4K 60 FPS. Just look at Battlefront and Cod they run at 60 fps etc. "

Yes it would. Battlefront and Cod already run at 60 fps on the base consoles. If Destiny 2 is designed to run at 30fps on base consoles, you can't compare it to those two games. Besides, they probably can't do that because of CPU power.

"The most common excuse? Quality and scope! We are aiming for unparalleled quality and scope so it will take time."
> well, yes, because it's true. You saying it's an excuse doesn't change the fact that it is 100% true. If anything, that is the potential downfall of the game - the insane scope, complexity and quality all put together... maybe they got too greedy and bit off more than they could chew.

Ofcourse Driveclub smokes everything else out there

It's made to run at 30fps. It's a 30 fps track racer that uses very advanced rendering features compared to GT, Forza, PCars etc. You can notice it straight away. Initially, Driveclub was a 60fps game (anyone remember that?) and it didn't look special at all.

Those amazing GTS replays run at 30fps. That's why they look better than gameplay at 60fps (and it's a great idea btw, more gam...

Car models always look good in games nowadays. The lighting is really well done though.

It's a very ambitious game that will take a very long time to make. CIG are making two games actually :-
1. Star Citizen, the online MMO which is so insanely ambitious it's not funny
2. Squadron 42, the AAA single player campaign (which is what this post is about). This is also pretty ambitious in it's own right.

The concern with Star Citizen is just that it's taking a LOT of money and time to make. Their funding model is already one which ...

This is true with lots of games. A big example for me was Metro 2033.

So I played the game on normal first, and it was pretty good. I liked the experience overall - very atmospheric but it wasn't that great. Couple of years later I played it again on Hardcore. Holy cow, I had never experience something this intense ever before. It was the most immersive, realistic, thrilling FPS experience I've ever had. I cannot describe how good it was lol. The game was meant to b...

Do they need more money for the MMO ? Absolutely. Anyone saying they can finish it with current money is :-

1) Burying their head in the sand
2) Very naive
3) Unaware of the insane scope and ambition of the game. It's downright crazy.

For the Singleplayer campaign ? Maybe not. Hopefully they can finish it, sell it and get decent revenue. Keep in mind this is a self contained Single Player game, and is actually very ambitious in it&#...

Fair enough. I don't think they have enough right now to even come close to completing Star Citizen (the MMO). For SQ42 (singleplayer game) , they might have enough. Once they finish that, they can hopefully get some good revenue out of it. However, that seems iffy.

1) A ton of their potential buyers already have the game from backing it.
2) It's PC exclusive. No console sales to boost numbers.
3) It's a high end PC game. Not the kind of game ...

"Oh look, the scam artist blew threw 150 million dollars and didn't release a game. Who could have seen this coming? "

Have you seen the scope of their game ? It is freaking insane.

Oh wait it's two games, each one of them incredibly ambitious. $150 million won't make such a game come out faster.

Maybe this game will fail because it's simply too greedy and ambitious, but the 'scam' thing is really stupi...

"Is Star Citizen a money pit?"

would have been fine. I can understand that.

"CR pleads for more money" is just Derek Smart's spin on that newsletter. His friend author very quickly made an article headline out of that.

"When did the persistent universe get turned into a "mini, mode" "

It didn't. The mini-PU was what we got first. This will expand into the PU as more features and content come online. I mean, sure, maybe this game will fail, but what you're saying is completely wrong. You're just misinformed.
