Really. Why is it that every time I see a piece praising Xbox One hardware, the quote is coming out of the mouth of Brad Wardell? Is he shopping Stardock out to Microsoft for sale?
@mikeslemonade: The difference is that NPD uses *actual* data, as opposed to some undisclosed algorithm based on calling a few retailers and extrapolating the rest. "Make up numbers" should on VGChartz's masthead.
To your second point, the NPD figures are only for North America. That's why the global sales don't match, because NPD figures aren't for global sales.
@Mikefizzled: To be fair, saying Wolfenstein is a game about World War II is like saying that Walker Texas Ranger is a realistic police procedural.
But to your point, Mahler didn't specifically reference games that were to be released in the future just how video games handle WWII in general, which encompasses games both past and present. Video games, like film, can be stupidly entertaining, or be poignant and have a message. Both types of entertainment serve different pu...
Awesome. I can't wait for this game.
The art direction really reminds me of Evil Genius, which doesn't hurt at all. :)
I have two controllers that I bought at launch, and they both work perfectly. I play a lot of games too, so its not like they're not being used. Out of twenty million systems sold, if even one percent of the controllers were bad, that would be two hundred thousand people complaining about the issue. Sometimes things break, controllers especially. Just because some of the controllers have had issues doesn't mean that all of the controllers weren't built to last.
The author of this article was obviously not aware that Ken Levine had been talking about this in December when he commented on Shadow of Mordor's nemesis system.

He had wanted to codify a characters actual motivations and plot points in an RPG in the same way, making plot a variable and highly personal mechanic which would be different ...
That would be awesome, but seems unlikely.
Really? You really think that these stores were able to get as much of these amiibos as they asked for? Retailers WANT to sell goods, so they order enough to meet demand. The problem is that retailers don't get as much stock as they want, because the distributors don't get as much stock as they order from the manufacturer, and the manufacturers get their marching orders from Nintendo.
Amiibos are highly allocated, and Nintendo's artificially keeping the supply tig...
If you want open world, there's always Red Faction Guerilla. Personally, I think Deus Ex should stay with the same structure that it has now, preserving the options for both stealth and combat and giving multiple, defined options for progression. Making it a complete open world would only dilute the experience.
Weird. Hadn't heard that.
Me either. What was supposed to be wrong with it?
While it's almost certainly going to happen, this is likely based solely on rumor and just using fabricated box art as a place holder as retailers sometimes do.
I would be willing to be that we'll see it revealed at E3, but I'd be just as willing to bet that this retailer doesn't have any foreknowledge that you or I lack.
He should team up with Suda51 for the ultimate bizarre game.
And that next project will now not be Snatcher 2, dammit. Pretty sure that everyone at Konami has forgotten about that game but him, so it probably will never happen.
Prepare to be shocked. It looks lackluster on both systems.
Really. SUPER timely review. Are they going to trot this one out every couple of months for a quick bashing?
You know what Eidos had as well? 24 hours to put a trailer together for release to capitalize on the leak. I'm sure if they'd had till E3 to put one out, they'd have made it longer.
You could kill them even without Typhoon with a stealth build.
