In the early footages it seemed that characters like Saltonstall had a demonic light behind their eyes, fitting in with the streaming sunlight seen coming through buildings in the game. Probably a metaphor for being blinded by - and trying to blind others with - ideologies including religion.
There was a folksiness about that early footage that seems to have been abandoned in favour of an entirely 'elegant' set of people. I was expecting that, from time to time, I mig...
The reason I bring up Jet Set Radio is that, for all its cult status, very few people actually ever bring it up. Shenmue 3 gets constantly mentioned by people but, as you say, if it ever was released (and I have no personal desire for it, I found the first game to be a quirky of its time experiment) the Playstation would probably serve it best with sales figures.
But whilst a new Jet Set Radio game should ALSO feature on the PS4 (and maybe Xbox although they've never heav...
Jet Set Radio WiiU. A new game.
I wouldn't worry about having BC Sony. You need to get the console cost more reasonable (in the eyes of the majority) than last time at launch.
Anyway it might encourage people with fat PS3s to upgrade them to a slim PS3 to use when they want to play old games. Although why they found the original fat PS3 console an acceptable size for them I don't know. It put me off buying a PS3 for several years. So BC would have only increased the size of the console.
Sony don't half play an odd game though.
They start every generation talking about how the graphics will make changes to the emotion in people's faces - then all they tend to have to display this on is games that are kind of similar to the previous generation.
Then they end every generation on a high anyway with a plethora of indie games that they really should have been pushing from the start.
Sony - you do great shooting games - you...
“We are not going down the route of making the console pink of course."
Of course not... who'd do such a thing? :

Sony Unveils Pink PS2
Although there had actually been many graphic adventures before it, (including Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade not long before) The Secret of Monkey Island was still a revelation as the first graphic adventure that I had played on the Amiga. The machine was a huge step up in graphics and sound quality from the Commodore 64 and the use of a memorable, jaunty, soundtrack and the moody, atmospheric locations stood out. Part 2 expanded on it, although I found it a bit tricky. Curse of Monkey i...
They don't all have bikes to the upper right nor sexy females to the left so this analysis, whilst true in most cases, is still a bit half baked.
The fact that they all have this comic book 'stained glass' style front is so consistent that it's no surprise if several other things within the panels are too.
On a related note, what about how the art style for the Kane and Lynch cover seems to mimic that of the earlier Max Payne 2?:
"If there were more Xbox-exclusive games out there, things may have been different,"
I doubt it. The original Xbox had many exclusive titles (e.g. platforming mascots that they were trying out) and , partly thanks to the Kinect, so does the Xbox360.
It's to do with the main reason of Sony and Nintendo being firmly entrenched in Japan as home grown companies that the Japanese have persistently trusted and supported.
The Japanese like long...
All these games are waiting for the PS3 and Xbox360:

On PS3 I'm looking forward to The Last Of Us , Metro : Last Light and the criminally under the radar Puppeteer.
Again, I wonder what 2 of you disagree with as you are too stupid or cowardly to actually be able to articulate what it is.
As for Tito, I never claimed to think that Sleeping Dogs is a Sega game.
The point of my post is that there is already more out there for lovers of Shenmue-like games
than there is for lovers of Jet Set Radio Future.
"When I want serious stuff, I’ll watch Fox News."
OK, they have probably written it as a satire on 'real gamers'.
That and the not altogether accepted wisdom that 'prequels are the hands-down most intriguing and engaging entries in a series' - and as if Infinite isn't a kind of prequel anyway.
This goes towards showing that they are almost certainly feigning assured stupidity. They can string words together prett...
Because there's always a closed door somewhere - or a room that could have been made and wasn't - that you would have wanted to explore.
I found some odd/lazy design choices, like an amusement arcade peppered with the same 5 or so machines repeated over and over again just to fill the room. Of course the same 'crowd' character models appear as well but that appears to be something that is forgiven at this point in time in a FPS game.
And just because a game might do may of the things that it happens to do well doesn't mean that it couldn't have done additional things that it doesn't do. The...
Sonic the Hedgehog has some rabbits.
I haven't finished the game yet but I'd have maybe liked to have seen more use of the skylines for set pieces other than strike kills. Like the option to crash through a first floor window or through the roof of a conservatory (there's a destructable skylight early on but not with a skyline nearby). Of course I'd love for many more of the buildings to actually be explorable - and not just by access from the ground floor either.
Is there too much shooting? Not ...
Is there actually any part of the game where you see a bell fall in front of you or the man with the demonic eyes (or even seen enemies using the skylines) as I have been playing for many hours and haven't come across them.
So not Robbie the Rabbit from Silent Hill 3 then.
I wonder what part you object to:
"I'd much rather see Jet Set Radio Future 2"
or:
"That doesn't have the same outspoken fan base of Shenmue."
Because you are relatively outspoken even though you've got Yakuza and Sleeping Dogs to tide you over. Greed.
The Xbox brand has become kind of a niche except to Americans, ironically because it's such an everyman product.
Not popular in Japan, not quite as popular in Europe as whole as Sony and Nintendo.
Offering a little bit of both worlds - hardcore games and motion control games.
I think that Microsoft have a broad idea that gaming is good but they seem to squander it when it matters. Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts sounds a clever idea but it&#...
