dcbronco is clearly an Xbox only kind of gamer. If he had any inclination at all toward Sony he would know that Sony and Kojima have had a very good functioning relationship since at least the 90's and that this collaboration has made Kojima a legend and very wealthy.
Kojima is the only reason that Konami has any relevancy in today's industry, so with that partnership forever shattered the obvious place is with Sony.
Also considering that his new st...
@DCBRONCO
How convenient that you use this year as a measure of new IP's from either Sony or Microsoft.
Sony has always spread their major releases out to give them room and space to matriculate on their own. Sony could have pushed Naughty Dog to finish Uncharted 3 for the ohhh so important holiday shopping season, but they didn't. Why do you think this is? It's because Sony releases games when they are ready and have the best chance at success....
Not to be disrespectful but your statement is a bit asinine. To sit here a proclaim that Kojima hasn't made a "great" game since ZOE is borderline trolling.
Seriously MGS3 is widely regarded as one of the best games of the PS2 era which is known for the stunning variety, number and, quality of games brought to market.
Then MGS4 was in another stratosphere altogether from a story telling standpoint. I cried at the end of that game and there are...
Ive played every Metal Gear Solid since the PS1 debut. I had always been a fan but it wasnt until MGS3 that I fell in love. Then 4 happened, that game spoke to a part of me that very very few things in my life have. Ive played and replayed that game dozens of times and practically wore out my O.G. "phat" 60 gig ps3. So here comes 5, the hype for me was just unrealistically high and then Konami began to dismantle everything. No David Hayter as Snake is a sin. Creatively tying Kojima ...
Proximity to the screen has just as much if not more of an impact on perceived graphical quality. They can pack way more pixels into the sub 50" class panels than they used to and so the size of the screen has become less important.
It's like politics, supporters of either side in order to gain a sense of superiority or to validate their opinions will seek out every piece of dirty laundry they can. It's precisely why American politics are so corrupt and annoying and it spills over to many other mediums like sports and video games.
I wish we could be more mature about these things but it's part of the "human condition" and it's built into us. We're naturally competitive beca...
As soon as I read this article my exact first thought was so now that the Xbox brand is on the wrong side of the resolution argument suddenly it's overblown?
Hypocrisy is something that a lot of these people don't seem to comprehend, and if they do they are outright ignoring how blatant they are being in it.
It was an everyday exercise to log onto N4G, see an article bashing the PS3's supposed inferiority in the graphics department, and then hav...
If im not mistaken early 360 games were averaging 640(p)(i) I cannot find anything online for the resolution of games before the HDMI port was first available in the Elite version of the 360. I think I remember the max resolution being in the 800-900 range. While this is a lot better than 480p it's a far cry from the 1080 that we routinely get in today's market. Can anyone confirm the resolutions of those early titles? Either way nobody can deny the fact that HDMI is as important to H...
Konami has lost me as as a customer for life. It's clear they care more abputcontrolling Kojima, a legend in gaming, rather than their reputation.
I have a few problems with this list.
HDMI: So the console that launched without an HDMI port is credited with HD gaming?
Kinect: Not only has Kinect all but been abandoned it wasn't even the first of its kind. This author even points out that Eye Toy and the Wii beat them to the punch. Theres literally nothing Kinect has done that hadnt been explored already.
Controller: Proclaiming the 360 pad as the greatest all time is not only pretentious its ignoring its sho...
@danny818 Yes I am upset that Microsoft bought the rights to this game especially an IP that has always been closely associated with Playstation. I think buying third party exclusivity is a deplorable practice and one that Microsoft is notorious for utilizing. Im not whining just voicing my displeasure at SE for allowing this to happen and the abysmal sales are a direct result of theirs and Microsoft's handling this deal. As far as "ensuring a future" TR didn't need Microsof...
shockingly im one of the few that was utterly bored with the Witcher 3 and absolutely adores Fallout 4. It took way too long for Witcher 3 to ramp up and "hook" me with its narrative. Fallout 4 grabbed my attention and has yet to let go. Im one of those people that has a very short attention span and I get bored so very easily. In Fallout 4 I transition between questing, base building, looting, exploration, and stat management so frequently that I have yet to get bored with any aspe...
I loved the TR reboot last generation and when I heard that RotTR was being developed I was excited. Then the exclusivity deal was announce and my enthusiasm fled. I'm not a fanboy, far from it in fact. I am a gamer on a very limited budget anymore and it was hard enough justifying one console purchase let alone two. Being a Sony fan and fond of a lot of Sony's franchises I chose the PS4. So now someone like me who was looking forward to the new TR has to wait an extra year because of...
The more I see that BLOPS III controller the more I like it.. I may just pull the trigger so to speak and buy one. I really want that sexy gunmetal controller that came with the Batman bundle but they never offered that one for sale on its own.
I bought this exact 20th anniversary headset 2 months ago at the full price. I dont regret it though, such an amazing headset. I've literally had zero issues with mine. Battery life is a bit weak but I bought a 10 ft cable and keep it on charge when not in use so it hasn't been much of an issue. I highly recommend this headset to anyone looking for a really good headset if you can afford to drop this much on a headset. BTW the sound quality is out of this world and with the companion ...
This read like an like a spoiled kid that got the 16 gig iPhone instead of the 64 gig like he wanted. Such short memory this guy must have. Does he not recall that the PS3 out of the gate had built in full backwards compatibility, external hard drive support, non proprietary built in hard drives, full media support, built in HDMI port, Built in wifi etc. But everyone whined and complained that the PS3 was too expensive, Sony surveyed its audience what features they would be of they cut, most ...
Just because it is not your "type of gaming" does very little to disqualify its rightful place. Millions of people are enjoying it immensely, myself being one of them(100+ hours in already). Why do all of these Microsoft appologists feel the need to discredit Fallout 4 in the face of these lackluster sales for Tomb Raider? Dont get me wrong I love Tomb Raider and I bought the reboot on PS3 and enjoyed it but Rise of the Tomb Raider being a timed XBox exclusive is seriously hurting i...
By Multifacetedgamer he means XBox, XBox 360, XBox One, Windows phone, and Microsoft surface. This dude has done nothing but defend Tomb raider and trash everything else. So quick to call others on fanboyish behavior all the while ignoring his own hypocrisy... Par for the course I guess.
Multifacetedgamer This was your response a few comments above:
"Some of us here are adults and can buy multiple consoles. Shilling I am not. Microsoft apologist I am not. A good game is a good game regardless of platform. Perhaps if you took the time to pull your head out of your arse you'd see the bigger picture"
Please tell me that you see the irony in your remarks. If not I shall assume the worst in you and move on with my day.
The suspend and resume function on the ps4 is amazing. I hit the PS button on my controller and within 10 seconds im right back where I left off in my game, no loading, no waiting. Its flat out brilliant.
