I don't agree with what Thatguy-310 said, per se, but "change the definition of what a console is forever" is a pretty hyperbolic statement.
Well they sold 2.7 million in their first week. After that, nothing has been announced.
Sure benefits Microsoft.
Tim Shaffer, Chris Jones (who you might not know, but I was a big fan of the Tex Murphy series), Chris Roberts, Chris Avellone, Josh Sawyer. Maybe not as well known as Inafune, but people have heard of Wing Commander, Under a Killing Moon, Wasteland, and Fallout:New Vegas (and everything that Tim Shaffer has done). Just because a big name is attached to a project is no guarantee that a publisher is willing to risk the capital on it. Think about it, games from AAA studios are cancelled all the...
Alright, mea culpa if the opening seemed snarky, but you take my point. Kickstarter is a powerful tool, but it isn't a guarantee. You have to go into it with open eyes. People treat it like a pre-booking instead of what it is, an investment in a product that may or may not pan out. Look into the pitch, the people attached to it, the plan they have and the product they're trying to create. If you have any doubts in their ability to deliver on their promise, don't pledge.

And the Hindenburg is why I never travel by air.
/massive eye roll
Without Kickstarter, we wouldn't have games like FTL, No Time to Explain, Thomas Was Alone, Shadowrun Returns, Republique, Satellite Reign, The Banner Saga, Tesla Effect, Xenonauts, Shovel Knight, Wasteland 2, Elite: Dangerous, The Escapists, Massive Chalice, Armello, Undertale, Dragon Fin Soup, Darkest Dungeon, Superhot, or Pillars of Eternity.
Its not like all re...
I'm still going to try it out because I like both DQ and MC, but it's still weird. :)
There are so many Minecraft clones out there, but I don't think there's any major franchises that have hopped on the bandwagon until now. It's still strange to see.
I don't dispute anything in this article. But inquisitr is a terrible site.
When you go to a movie, do you look at the running time before you buy a ticket?
When you buy a book, do you calculate cost per page?
I've played 5 hour games that were awesome, and I've ground my way through terrible games that were over a hundred hours.
Play time isn't an absolute metric to measure enjoyment or value.
Who? What?
They hired Sam Witwer to do the facial capture and voice acting for the main character.
The PS3 outsold the Xbox 360, so yes and no.
What humbled Sony was the cost of the cell architecture, third party developers telling them that it hindered ports, and Microsoft taking half of the massive install base that the PS2 had.
Its what some members of their board have wanted for years. They might be better off licensing the brand out rather than shutting it down entirely. 3D0 tried to do it years ago, having multiple manufacturers create the hardware to run a single set of software. That way MS could stay in the console market while someone else takes the hardware cost, and MS makes their money licensing out their brand and IPs.
Because it was awful? Suffered from Indigo Prophecy / Fahrenheit syndrome, where the game was brilliant right up until the last hour when it completely goes off the rails.
Well that's not an equivalent argument. One rumor is correct, so another unrelated rumor is correct? Because the Scorpio rumor is correct, does that mean that Paul McCartney died in the 60s? The CIA assassinated Kennedy? Mello Yellow makes you impotent? We never landed on the moon? 9/11 was an inside job? Aliens control the president? Loch Ness monster? John Titor is a time traveler from 2036?
And why would you believe the Neo rumor, but say "As for this rumour who...
Proof please?
Proof?
SKUs that didn't have a functional change to go with the hardware revisions. It just made them cheaper not change their basic operation.
Yes, they've been demoed for the past couple years at the game shows, all running on the current PS4.
