@Fatdrinkofwater - The 360 was not the lead console...going by sales it was the Wii. Going by games/exclusives it was the PS3.
The PS3 outsold the 360 (to date it's sold 1 million more units than the 360) and that's with 12 months less sales. Plus you have to take into account the number of people who bought multiple 360s when the rrod struck - i've heard of a few people who got up to number 5 (33% failure rate for the first 2 years sales...) If you align the sa...
At the moment I would say the worlds not ready. Mainly due to the prices - hell I've seen the "sale" prices for digital games 6 months after release still be more expensive than I bought the physical copy on launch day.
However currently there's very few 3rd party digital download stores for console games - for example if I went to Amazon and searched for The Last of Us: Remastered, I would only get the physical copy as an option to buy.
If the consoles we...
I just cut out the middle man and don't play FPS games in general - seriously there's been no improvements for over 10 years, why would I want to keep spending X-amount of money each year for the same recycled crap with a new cover...
Isn't using the cloud to assist the game just a sneaky way of re-introducing always online?
Surely if you don't have the required connection you won't be able to play the game, or at the very least not play it to it's full potential?

it's a pity most waste their time on making them 'beautiful' and so few remember to make the gameplay (i.e. the whole point of a game over a movie) good too.
Yeah it's runs ok for me on PC, not great but it's very playable. So much in fact i'm 84% though my new game+ on Knightmare.
Surprised Football Manager isn't on the list. If you play it, it consumes you. I've played GTA V, but I don't play the online so it doesn't 'consume' my life.
Noting on the spine???
I'd like to think it's all a big conspiracy, and he's not really been fired. Given how covert they were when initially announcing the game, it could all just be part of a larger marketing scheme.
Less time focussing on the box art = more time focussing on the actual game...
"Part of the reason he became famous is because of that lol." - I'm sorry, what? From the way you've phrased that it seems as if you're saying that MGS4 is the majority of the reason people know who Hideo Kojima? I think you'll find that the original MGS on the PS1 is the largest reason Hideo is well known around the world. Granted there were plenty of fans who knew about MG1 and MG2 but MGS1 is where he made his name. Every MGS game opens with "A Hideo Koji...
@Yi-Long Arkham Origins was never going to win GOTY - mainly because the developer said they weren't fixing functionality bugs, instead were concentrating on DLC.
Even though it's made by a different Dev than Asylum and City, it's largely the same game but frustrating as hell when you do run into a bug - I couldn't progress in the game because it wasn't giving me one of the objectives, I had to restart and work my way back to that point.
Yeah, if the developers didn't consider it worthy enough to go into the game then why should I consider paying extra for it? There's very little DLC that has ever enticed me, and they're only additional full game modes/story missions never just skins or maps.
I don't have an issue with remasters - personally I'd rather see the studio put their time and effort into something new though. The issue I have is people who re-purchase these remasters at full price as if there's something to gain from playing it again with slightly improved looks. People seem to have forgotten that games are about gaming - not about how good something looks, and the only way we're going to get more studios to produce higher quality games is if we stop fo...
@omarcomingyo - I think you're reading the prices wrong. The only one that lists the sale price is the Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition - all the others just say what price they were before the sale and give you the % that's been taken off that price.
The majority of titles in the sale are between £1.60 and £2.30 with the odd one £4 or £5 - and then GTA V at £17.50
@Pontiac - well said
@kupomogli - Gameplay is more important than graphics when it comes to a video game. Given Ubisofts recent efforts they're trying to make things look good before bothering to make them play well - then sacrificing some of the graphic levels to make the game playable. I wouldn't put it past them to do the same with The Division, but I really hope they don't this looks like it has the potential to be a great game, but if they're focusing m...
couldn't give a shit, not just because i'm not going to be playing the game anyway...but, games come out at different times all over the world - get used to not being first for once.
From what I hear, the original PS1 audio was recorded in a flat, rather than a recording studio so when it was remastered for Twin Snakes the traffic could be heard in the background which is why they had to re-record everything for Twin Snakes in the end
You want actual numbers...? I collected these figures each year, because it confused me when people said the PS3 had a poor launch. If that was a poor launch (not forgetting both consoles were released in November) how was the 360 launch good?
