This place needs less fanboys and more gamers

I hope Microsoft does more internally. These partnerships only seem to lead to timed exclusive deals and DLC. Sure they help in the short term but Microsoft really needs to invest more into their own ip's and not just concentrate on those that are popular or Kinect titles.

That's what I thought too.

Anyways Madden was very guilty of per-rendered screenshots of what Madden may look like on next gen. systems (when the Xbox 360 launched). It didn't even look close to those screens. Killzone 2 also caused a lot of controversy. While the game was visually impressive there was no way they could get those animations and that amount of detail.

I'm done believing any of them. That whole rendered shot of the face by Quantic D...

That's a good point. Needless to say they would never admit there was a PS4 version even if it were true unless it was going to have a simultaneous release like they did with Zelda on the Wii/Gamecube. However that was delayed so they could finish the Wii port. It doesn't make as much sense to delay this game so they can have two versions. The PS3 install base is much larger than the Gamecube was.

Civ Revolution was a dumbed down version of the Civ series. They can say whatever they want, they are the ones making the games. You can also invest in a PC that is likely about the same price as the upcoming Xbox and PS4 that will run Civ games.

It's about choice. People choose to invest in consoles or a PC rig or both. Gaming is a hobby, not a right. Can everyone afford a PS3, Xbox 360 and a Wii U? No. That's why you choose what's best for you and not all games ...

DragonKnight,
"And finally I leave you with this bit of adult advice."

Typical. Always condescending towards anyone who calls Sony out.

Imalwaysright,
It was a goodwill gesture and they also offered identity protection afterwards. There hasn't been one publicized case yet of anyone's information being compromised. The whole point is Sony learned from this and made the right corrections. So why are people disagreeing that they...

How come when anyone says anything negative about Sony the natural reaction is to bring up Microsoft? I know they compete with one another but I didn't think it was that rooted into so many people where they have to pick sides.

Microsoft has had many issues and legal action taken against them. They've also had many lawsuits too I would imagine. However this is about Sony, not Microsoft. I don't have any problem whatsoever calling out Microsoft and their shady tact...

This article could also apply to the PlayStation Vita. Different experiences (like the ability to play on a large screen with higher resolution) and they each have exclusive titles not found on the other.

It would be silly for Microsoft to go solo in this area but then again they went solo in charging to play online. We also don't know all the details about the PS4. This is exactly what they said:

“When you purchase the disc based games on PS4, that should work on any hardware,” Yoshida confirmed.

A loophole could be a verification process that makes sure you are the rightful owner of that disc. It is unlikely but also a possibility. So until we get all th...

Zelda
Bayonetta 2
Mario Kart
Xenoblade
Super Smash Bros

All listed for Fall? Yeah sure. As if Nintendo would release Super Smash Bros., Zelda, and Mario Kart in the same season, let alone the same year.

Obviously it wasn't as secure as it should have been.

Did you feel embarrassed about these lawsuits too?

You shouldn't feel anything if you don't want to be part of it unless of course you really do work for Sony.

A comment from someone who should just stick with console gaming. It doesn't take hours to get a PC game going. There are so many myths out there it's sickening.

This is what happens when you have a site that covers all platforms. You get your diehard gamers who support system A that will conflict with gamers from system B, C and so on. I don't understand why so many choose sides when we all share the same interests, games.

Nix, a lot of people who call journalists fanboys are often fanboys themselves. People keep going on and on about how badly Sony was treated this gen yet there's been nothing but praise for the PS4. The reality is when your biased things look differently. We see Wii U doom articles now, are they now Nintendo haters? Sony has realized the mistakes they made with the PS3, that's why the PS4 sounds so promising. They listened, they didn't whine and tell everyone that journalists were...

In now way am I discrediting his work or his vision. You're right, we need to push the boundaries of the industry. I just don't care for his demeanour or superiority complex. He often comes across as arrogant instead of confident.

Beyond looks like an awesome game and I wish other developers would take more chances too. The problem is publishers most times don't want to take such risks and often play it safe. This is why Sony needs to be commended for backing peop...

You see this isn't true, less than once a month it is done and so what if it is once a week, this just means Sony really want to try and improve the network."

And Microsoft and Nintendo and Valve doesn't? Why is it that Sony seems t...

Were people upset about the delay to GTA IV because of the PS3?

How many other games were held back in order for developers to get a better hands on with the PS3? This is why it's so nice to see Sony finally come to grips and change the design philosophy for the PS4. Rumor has it Sony is co-developing t...
