Really. I'm fed up of entitled gamers complaining about a game franchise for doing what it is renown for. What next, complaining that the lead character in Arkham Knight is a man? Or that Bayonetta 2 you can only play as a woman?
Yes there should be more diversity in games but this can be done by creating new characters or adding them into the mythos of other games. Not trying to shoehorn new characters to replaced beloved characters for the sake of pleasing a vocal mino...
"But it’s what’s under the surface that makes me think Visceral is trying to make some social commentary about the state of community policing in the US. "
I think the author is searching a little too deep and interpreting social commentary that isn't there! I've played a bit of it, It's a beta, for an FPS! The problem is there are people who are really desperate to prove games are art so that they can feel games are more respectable. This guy needs to ...
Off topic slightly but I was expecting Microsoft to reveal a white Xbone. Kinda surprised they didn't and Sony gazumped them and revealed a white PlayStation 4.
@SpideySpeakz 'Revealing' that GTA V would be announced for next-gen and PC was a given. Even I knew it would happen! It was a talking point on many gaming websites so the concept of a next-gen GTA was hardly surprising. Take-Two is a business who of course would want to sell their hugely popular game to the 10 million+ next-gen owners and PC users! That''s what I'm talking about it was predictable.
But with Insiders you have to ask "are they shari...
This is another prime example why websites should not waste time on these fake 'insiders.' Sometimes the information an insider gets changes and I understand this. What I can't stand is fake insiders who post non-specific information that is probable but can't be proven or disproven.
I remember the day before the Project Morpheus reveal Thuway had nothing to say. The day after it was revealed he was able to tell us about all the studios working on it including...
Three of Kotaku's main 'journalists' slate everything Sony said or showed.
Microsoft did much better than last year. But after all the hype Phil Spencer was chatting before the conference I was expecting megatons - but there were none so I now know to be more sceptical of what he says and what he delivers. They had the Platinum Games title but everything else is third party stuff available on other platforms. So not too exciting but solid.
I liked it! Yes there was a slow mid-section but I love the look of launch exclusive No Man's Sky, Grim Fandango and the GTA V announcement. Solid. The new Sony SCEA guy looks like an Italian mobster who can order someone get whacked if he doesn't like them!
360 owners can transfer their saves to PS4 when they upgrade to a next generation console. Also thought it was cool when Sony directly name checked the 360 on the PlayStation stage - a sign of confidence.
Basically Phil Spencer said the XB one's USP is 'the power of the cloud.' There is potential for how MS cloud will improve games, I'd like to see how it can do for Halo 5, but for now da Cloud offers no tangible benefits to gamers who want the best quality multi-platform games.
I want this. But it doesn't require dedicated servers.
"Phil Spencer Wants Xbox One to be The Best Console Platform" and I want to have grown up without my stepfather punching me in the head because I was a constant reminder to him of my father. Just because you say something doesn't mean it will happen.
Spencer has got to stop playing chicken with PlayStation. When he walks onto the E3 stage I want to see games, games, games. But he needs to show us more than games. He needs to let us know if all he is interested i...
I like Phil Spencer. I'm glad he has turned his back on the Aaron Greenburg/Major Nelson school of trash talking about the competition. However this non-stop nice guy behaviour to pander to the chattering classes of N4G and Neogaf is becoming tedious as it is one non stop PR exercise.
Yes I get that it is good to not be a hater but that is an indirect swipe at Sony by saying Nintendo is better and it just comes across as sly. I'm glad he isn't directly hating (b...
"Is There a Need for all The Spectacle at E3?"
YES! There is a vast amount of hype about new products which gets gamers excited which translates into sales and benefits the whole industry.
Considering how heavily Activision and Sony have been promoting the exclusive beta than 4 days is very insubstantial and hardly worth advertising as a benefit to PlayStation because Xbox owners are hardly missing out. By the time the gaming media are reporting on the game it will be available on Xbox too. Sony doesn't have the money to pay for timed exclusives the way Microsoft can.
If the PlayStation exclusive beta really is for just 4 days then really it is a bit of...
That's a really good video that showcased a range of PlayStation games. I like the wipes that look so professional. Although I would keep future vids to a max of 2 minutes. Cool!
Isn't this a tease of Xbox games playable on Surface? Halo on tablet was tested and demoed last year. I don't know if it means Xbone's can stream their games to tablets or the Surfaces have Xbox hardware built in..... But would definitely be a big feather in their bow.
Fake.
I was hoping Ryse was one of the free Games with Gold titles. It would be nice to have a library of games waiting for me when I buy an Xbone.
Phil Spencer said something about VR being unproven and he wants to wait and see how successful are first with Project Morpheus.
"He said that Microsoft doesn’t see VR as a mainstream consumer space—the way Sony might—and that they’re waiting to see how things evolve within the space before they decide to do anything about it. "
