Thanks to the internet and sites like this, people have a platform for voicing their opinions. Crazy or reasonable, those opinions can be voiced and heard by anyone. If a developer goes out and searches out comments about the game he worked hard on, he should know that he's going to find everything, the good and the bad. It's a known quantity. He'll find people loving the game and praising it (which will make him feel proud) and he'll find people who hate it and will vocal...
It's still ahead of The Last Guardian at this point.
The Eurogamer article is from the point of view of someone building a game before the Wii U was launched and while the hardware was still being developed. This guys tweet doesn't really dispute anything in the article, and if anything he confirms it by saying it's based on old info. The article makes it clear the experience was during creation of a launch title, which is difficult on any platform (just apparently a little worse with Nintendo).
Way to take a quote from somebody and completely blow it up out of context. He's saying that the trend is people are buying more content digitally and that one day they might buy everything digitally. He's not saying that Sony has any plans to stop offering physical copies of games but rather that it is possible that one day people will unanimously choose to be all digital.
Music is overwhelmingly digital now, but you can still buy CD's and other forms of physical media....
I just don't think multi-player only games are all that great. Last year you had game of the year candidates The Last of Us, Bioshock Infinite, Tomb Raider, Grand Theft Auto 5, Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, Tearaway, Guacamelee... almost everything are all strong single player games that maybe have multi-player tacked on.
I have a feeling that Titanfall is going to be like Words With Friends, it will be popular for a moment in time and then will be quickly forgotten.
Kaz Hirai's speech at CES was great. It had it's weird moments when they were talking with the Breaking Bad guy, but it ended strong. The way it ended... almost like William Wallace giving a battle speech to his soldiers. Wow.
Yep, the Ping developer isn't sticking up for the dev kit because they're talking about two different things. The Eurogamer article was about pre-launch hardware and the struggles in dealing with the lower power of the Wii U CPU as well as dealing with Nintendo's horrible support for third parties.
Christopher Arnold is talking about what it's like now, which is much different. But the fact that third parties are not supporting the Wii U, and modern gaming...
It all depends on the amount of content they make available. My guess is $5 a month, maybe less initially. Right now so little is known about the service that you can't make any kind of prediction with reason.
I said somewhere else that I'm worried this game won't be the savior that people think it will be. This kind of highlights that further.
A lot of people complain about the incredibly short single player campaigns from CoD or Battlefield and Titanfall has no single player campaign. It's an "always online" multiplayer only game which has it's own pitfalls.
And it's an all "dude bro" game all the time. Maybe that will...
I've got a feeling that Titanfall isn't going to be as good as people are thinking it will be. It looks like a game that demos very well, but probably won't have legs.
CoD and Battlefield are often associated with the words "dude-bro." When I watch Titanfall videos it feels like they took all the "dude-bro" stuff from those games, cut out everything else, and smashed it into a game. Some people will love that, but I think for the most part i...
So in five weeks the PS4 sold more than the X360 sold in a year? Wow.
I don't know if you listened to the whole podcast, but something that was said earlier is what bothered me the most. One of the guys said his new year's resolution was to read more and thus play video games less. He was only going to play the games "that mattered." This was received with the response "You're growing up." WTF? So these guys, who have a job that is based around video games, think that playing games is not an adult thing to do?
I was wondering about that. Do all the consoles given away from McDonald's and Mountain Dew count as sold through to customers? People winning an Xbox One in a contest doesn't really mean there's high demand.
The post where Microsoft made the claim of 3 million sold also said they're sold out at most stores. Where is this? Amazon has them. Best Buy has them. Target has them. Gamestop has them. My local Sam's Club has pallets of them. Meanwhile I can't find...
What is IGN's obsession with Titanfall? The reason people are disappointed isn't because Sony fanboys are pissed it's not coming to PS4 but because 6 v 6 is a lot less than what people expect. IGN was thrilled and ecstatic back at E3 when Battlefield 4 was 32 v 32. The more player versus player the better. Now because their precious Titanfall has something negative to be said about it, they need to circle the wagons. What gives?
At this point they can't say that...
I want to point out two things that are brought up here, and I've seen in various other pieces concerning Sony's sales lead.
First, Sony doesn't really get an advantage from having their console on sale a whole week longer. They went on sale in the US and Canada one week before the Xbox, but in Europe and the rest of the world, the Xbox had a one week advantage. So if the US = The Rest of the World, then these figures will pretty much wash out. I think an example of how...
Ok... PlayStation doesn't give me digital access to games I own on a disc right now. Why would I expect that to be different with PS Now?
Why would you keep a PS3 disc then if you don't have the PS3?
The way they described the subscription service made me think that it's going to be something like PS+. You won't have access to every game, but games will be made available to the subscribers at different times. This would then let you try games you might not normally have tried. Maybe, like Plus, once you've had access to a game you'll always have access to it as long as you're a subscriber, or it may be that subscribers will have access to set pool of games and once ...
I think that's because they approach games from a different point of view and approach than their readers. They play so many games throughout the year that things tend to bleed together. That's why games that are different or are dramatically different tend to really stand out. I noticed this when I was in film school. You watch so many movies and suddenly those films that do something completely different (even if it's stupid to the masses) stands out because it's a novel...
I just want the light bar to turn off while watching Netflix. It's annoying to have the bright blue glow while watching a movie.
