Man. There are some good ones on here! Never been a better and cheaper time to pick up a PS3.

I really hope so. This game looks freaking great, and if it isn't tainted by extra money-driven progression systems, I'd probably spend a lot of time with it and git gud as a result.

"The 3DS will not be replaced by the Switch! (subtext: for little kids. Expect a Yo-Kai Watch 3 and some more Disney stuff.)"

Definitely. It's good that you're one of the lucky ones, for sure! I bought the bundle (so new camera, new motion controllers) day one, and the drift was so bad and so consistent, no matter what I did, that I had to return it. It was ridiculous for me.

Everything Sony cites here to maybe fix the issue - from playing wirelessly to optimal seat distance, including playing the thing in pitch-black darkness and low light, I tried. Recalibrated and tried again. I really ...

It's been confirmed via an email from Sean Murray to Polygon (hey, they're good with news, don't worry) that not only was the account not hacked, not only was this from an employee at Hello Games, but that the tweet was from Sean himself, retracted by another employee who thought it was... well, a mistake... to post it.

Or is it? Apparently Sean's own stuff might have been cracked via LinkedIn, and therefore even the email was a fake? God, this is weird, esp...

Financial analysts just do not get it. Listen to the enthusiast podcasts back when the WiiU was announced and you'll hear every single point of criticism it got four years down the line, even before they could play the thing.

Screen quality. Battery life. Distance from the screen to the system. Third-party support with such a weird thing. The potential lack of native game design for such a weird thing. The appeal of an underpowered TV-only console mid-cycle. The price o...

A "Slacktuar?" So there are multiple types and this is the slower one??

...regardless, I'm like 500% more invested in this game now.

That's great to hear. There's a lot of refinement in 1 that deserves to be noticed, like how instructive the single-player campaign is, and how bonkers the sound design and art direction are. Yeah, yeah, there weren't as many automatic weapons in WW1 and stuff broke more often, but artistically they focus well on how beautiful the landscapes of Europe are while simultaneously burning them down, and just how jarring and loud a battle with older guns and unit communication via yelli...

The ad is trying to expand the market out to people my age (older millennials) who played NES, SNES, or N64 back in the day, but fell off the wagon as they grew up, only to find themselves playing crappy free-to-play mobile games with the rise of the iPhone.

We know what Nintendo is, and we know how excited we were just to see Mario jumping around N64-style for three seconds. They assume that we'll know it's not a PS4-killer - we already have one! - but an interesti...

Entirely possible, especially given Nvidia tech's powering it.

They're going after the iPhone as a *portable gaming platform*, not as a phone. Going after the market, not the device itself. Maybe I mean "the App Store," then. Basically, gaining ground on the market cut out from the 3DS as mobile gaming became popular, which had retreated from the DS.

Why would I even consider a gaming console to physically replace or travel in tandem with a smartphone in general? We only have so many pockets, unless we're really ready...

They did it. They freaking did it. They'll eat up the currently-in-shambles mobile gaming market, bring older gamers back on board, and finally make their portable games social. They're not going after the PS4 or Xone, they're going after the iPhone, and if it works as advertised, they just struck gold.

What a weird glitch! It looks like a really well-done GBA port.

I think Nintendo needs to dodge the current PS4\Xone battle in order to succeed. If all those rumors prove true, they already did - neither Sony nor Microsoft have a viable handheld at the moment (no, don't say 'Vita,' you're about three years too late for that), and this one would scale up to 1080 on a TV.

The attachable controller idea would make the device simple enough for little kids and little kid games with a much better curated mobile game store than...

Really, Famitsu? That new Sonic Boom 3DS game gets 2 9's and 2 8's? It's a paper-thin second meh attempt at a Sonic game. *stares at Japan sternly*

The World of FF demo was interesting! It seemed like it had some potential to speed up the gameplay down the line, and the soundtrack was just excellent throughout the whole thing. Maybe it will live up to all those 9's - which, mind you, are only two points off from freaking Sonic Boom.

I bought it on day one. The headset is so great - the most comfortable of the bunch, the best looking, and it's made for the right kind of VR - mostly seated, mostly with a controller. At its best, it was so nice. I was immediately *better* at Thumper because of the depth perception. It was awesome.

But I really feel @maybelovehate's comment above. Troubleshoot as I might, desperately searching for fixes within GAF/Reddit/etc. when all of the granular calibrations d...

The quotes and the analysis were pretty good. I think they still want to downplay just how much of a blunder it was doubling down on motion controls and voice commands. They 1) never worked as well as intended and 2) flipped user interface design to focus on those, and not an immediate, button-press-away experience. The original X1 UI was freaking ridiculous to use.

Then when they backpedaled, they had to work in all of those third-parties that were initially working on Kin...

That's a good list. Ninja Five-O never got its due, it was like a new take on Rolling Thunder. FFTA and Advance Wars are still some of the best strategy games out there - I don't think they've been topped in their genres aside from Fire Emblem: Awakening.

Thank God for glorious subtitles.

Good. That's a fine name. Don't Wii it up! I wish they would just call a new system "The Nintendo," but I guess that'll never really happen.
