Changing the industry? It changed youtube gaming, but that's it lol But it would be interesting if any dev would use this DayZ survival formula instead of the generic linear-corridor one.
Create, Share and Play? seems legit
Why do you want such graphics and rendering settings? PC nowadays can have photo-realistic models already, but why don't we see that? Because gamea are not only pre-rendered cutscenes. You need good animations, you need good programming of sequences. Look at TLOU animations, you don't see nothing like that on the PC. Look at the real-time ocean in UC3 as well. If talented devs like ND and GG do that with a 6 year old software, I cant imagine what they can do with the PS4.
MS will go for the casual market and use the Xbox for the whole 'living room entertainment system' with augmented reality (kinect).
We know that since last years E3 and all those new tablets and phones just confirm how MS just wants every chunk of the market.
It's a shame since they'll stop caring about true games, let's hope Sony knows what to do and that the SteamBox changes something in the industry. Nintendo has to do something too.
It's still a two month wait for the European Vita users D:
But if you don't like RTS/MMOs, there is no point in turning into pc gaming. Perhaps the indie market, but PSN and XBL have far more quality titles now as well. However, some multi-plats may play better and look better in the PC, but the overall experience remains the same.
Even in a year PC 'showed everyone who's boss', a PSN downloadable title is winning all the awards lmao diablo 3? guild wars 2? bitch please
WHen you think of the best handheld games of the year, you think Soundshapes, Gravity Rush, Uncharted Golden Abyss, AC3 Liberation, Virtues Last Reward, Persona 4 Golden...not even one 3DS game, but somehow, the Vita has no games and the 3DS is that supreme, divine device that overshadows the Vita. In sales, yeah, pretty much, but in quality, both software and hardware wise? absolutely not.
But I guess it's the effect Sony has suffered since the release of the PSP. It was...
No, the Wii U is selling because it's from Nintendo and it's new. The big question is if the Wii U will manage to keep selling after the next Xbox and PlayStation come to the market. Because let's face it, neither the hardware or the software make the Wii U a good purchase.
People who bought the Wii U will lose all the great games next year such as Tomb Raider, Bioshock Infinite, GTAV and more. And for what, another Mario game? The Wii sold because it's someth...
The Last of Us, GTAV and Bioshock Infinite. There are more, but those one are the top of the top. Besides that, there are the vaporware known as Versus XIII and The Last Guardian.
Well, seeing how a downloadable title like Journey is stealing every GOTY awards/nominations to the super huge best exclusive of the universe aka Halo 4, it seems that even without trying too hard, Sony accomplishes everytime.
I wonder what they will give to the Vita. It had a really good year, it might not sell as much as the 3DS, but it has some kickass library already (and seeing Soundshapes and Gravity Rush winning all the handheld awards, I wonder if anyone dares to say ...
This is R* trollign everyone out there that is getting games this christmas and now is looking at them saying "meh I want to play GTAV!!"
lol ME3 ending above of Journey's ending? Halo 4 winning? that's some serious bias there...i'm starting to see some sites giving Halo 4 some awards since it's definitely 2012's flop (as it's being run over by 2 downloadable titles in all GOTY awards).
There are so many mistakes in this list that it makes it close to ridiculous.
Best writing? It would be TWD, ME3 is a joke. Best SP and MP game and not even a mention to Journey? Best Game Atmosphere and no Journey or The Unfinished Swan? Best XBL/PSN game and no TWD? Starhawk as best PS3 exclusive? AC Liberation better than Gravity Rush or Soundshapes?
get your shit together, it seems you didnt played half the games you've put on that list.
It may be true with games such as Uncharted or recently Far Cry 3, but what about games like Soundshapes and Journey? Or Team Ico's games? You cant generalize an opinion, but it's mister hype itself talking so I guess no one really gives a shit about what he says anymore.
To be honest I was really pleased not only with Journey's win but with past winners. Seeing that Okami won in 2006 or Portal 2 last year shows that IGN knows how to pick their GOTYs, atleast much better than the VGAs for example.
And not only that, it's amazing how 2 downloadable games are taking all the awards this year (Journey and TWD). It kinda makes you think how the industry might be changing and wonder what will happen next gen.
ME2 won it in 2010 and it was once an Xbox exclusive. It's kinda MS fault, not IGN's.
No Journey?
For a machine that's supposed to be much more powerful than today's console, those don't look 7 years ahead of Uncharted 3 or TLOU for example. I guess in the end it all comes to the talent of the devs and not the hardware.
I cannot even imagine what ND could do with the next PS.
Final Fantasy Versusware XIII lol
299 = seems about right
399 = still acceptable
499 = kinda overdoing it, it must be worth it
599 = not even close
