tachy0n,
I guess that explains how busy torrent sites are for games that aren't even released yet. You can get around the DRM limitation if you can prove you're the owner of the software, I know because I went through the process. People pirate games for other platforms like the Xbox 360 and the DS which is what this article talks about. I didn't know Halo had restrictions of how many times I can play it from my disc. I also didn't realize that Mario Kart need...
Of course there is, just like people who are adamant talking about exclusives like Uncharted.
Do you find it ironic how an article talking about Bungie branching out to more platforms now retracts back to the discussion of exclusives like Uncharted 2? The discussion should be on Bungie, not promoting Naughty Dog because then that leads to attacks. Needless attacks most likely because Naughty Dog is an exclusive developer.
Some people on N4G just don't hav...
Am I the only one who really doesn't care at all about this feud? I'm interested in the final product, not the bantering that goes on in interviews, tweets and so forth. We've seen it before and we will see it again but it's just the games I care about and I make my decisions purely based on that.
But it seems some people want to get involved more so than others. We'll see the petition signs up soon enough telling people not to support the company/person o...
The Show is clearing the reigning champion. Not sure why there isn't too much competition in this area (someone mentioned to me 2K has a lock on the MLB license that prevents 3rd party publishers like EA from using it which is lame if true) and why 2K doesn't push as much as their basketball games.
The PSP Go will have crashed and burned more than Vita. Vita has already sold about 2 million and it's only been less than a year. Give it time. I just don't see it being as adopted as the PSP and it's not because of the system. I think it has been poorly marketed and because it is seen as a higher end device it has to compete more with other gadgets. Still a far cry from viewing it as crashing and burning.
2013 will have to be a big year for Sony and Vita. They c...
Rendermonk, you couldn't respond most likely because your reply is attached to someone who had their response hidden for trolling. I have one comment left so let's see if I can make it a good one.

"I understand your point about which market were talking about and how it's relevant to us as Americans, that's all very true. But when read as is, it's taking the consoles true sales out of context. It makes it sound like the most preferred a...
darthv72,
I wasn't really referring to the Achievement status. I still think Xbox Live wins in this area due to the fact all games on the Xbox 360 have it. I'm not sure if all Steam games do. I just disagree with the comment of not acknowledging Steam as a benchmark of success. In PC gaming it is. They have led and never looked back. Heck, even Microsoft tried to get their hands in there with Xbox Live on the PC and failed miserably. Origin is nowhere near the same caliber as...
Of course Valve has a chance of succeeding, they have already established themselves in gaming. The biggest issue is Valve does not have a distribution channel because Steam is a digital store. As of yet they haven't sold hardware before. That's their challenge. They have already secured partnerships with game publishers and are the leaders when it comes to support for indie games. They also have over 50 million Steam members.
Their big hurdle is marketing and the ret...
Didn't HipHopGamer? That guy was like a TMZ reporter.
Very fun game, these guys make great racing games.
Knight_Crawler,
Not sure if I agree. Sony still releases annual results.
rainslacker,
Makes sense. I know Apple and other companies don't like certain information out there.

They certainly don't mind when it comes to other regions. I do question NPD at times since I heard some reta...
nukeitall, they haven't released numbers for a long time though. Not sure why.
http://www.mcvuk.com/news/r...
I think ever since then Sony has declined to give out numbers.
Not bad. Almost 900,000 in 41 days. They have also sold over 40 million Wii's now just in NPD region.
Anyone know why it's just Sony who refuses to give out actual numbers?
It won't be free unless people refuse to pay. It's actually growing in memberships, not declining so it doesn't look like they will drop the fee. Instead I imagine they will continue to try and add extra services on top of it like ESPN and UFC partnerships. A lot of it I don't care about, I just want to play online and don't think I should have to be charged to unlock a feature in a game I already purchased.
So will Halo 5 finally handle more than 16 players online?
I really wish David Cage could just concentrate on making a good game without the needless arrogance. That's why I like people such as Tim Schafer. He just makes games without the constant barrage of "I'm the best, I create my own genre of games, the industry needs people like me".
I really don't care what Cage has to say. I will remain interested in Beyond no matter how much he wants to bash sequels and lack of originality out there. I let the games spe...
I wonder if Steve Ballmer will tell us to work harder and longer hours to get one?
The Mass Effect series did indeed have different paths depending on the choices you made. You have to remember how much development time would have to be in place to truly offer the unique experience you think it should have had.
As for The Walking Dead it was much more linear in scope. I tried to do different things and that change would only be temporary. The path was still set no matter what. I didn't want certain people to die so I tried to save them and it may have o...
I don't think Sony was a big loser, they just had much better competition. Which is why like I say, all of them are going to have to work harder gaining our business. It took Sony a couple of years to get their groove on with the PS3. Games starting coming in and most importantly they got pricing under control. Do you really think the system would have been lowered to $299 that quickly if Nintendo and Microsoft weren't as competitive.
You're right, it is hard to s...
You seem to be grasping at thin air thinking your opinion is going to sway those interested in it. Seems to me any positivity surrounding the game have you working overtime making sure you're there to counter it every step of the way.
Yes you are entitled to your opinion but so are articles like this expressing their interest in it.
