Edit: Never mind. I messed up my post. Please ignore this.
I think that after seeing this everyone can officially agree: Pirates ruin everything.
I can't understand how so many people could possibly want to steal from hard-working developers. It makes me feel kind of sick to think that such people call themselves "gamers."
I actually like local multiplayer. I often have a bunch of friends come over for 'game nights' so we can all just game together. We've actually started to grow quite annoyed by the fact that so many companies are dropping local support in favour of online.
Still though, it looks like it will be really awesome. I can't wait.
While I do agree (I've never really liked the green casing of my 360 games), this is a very silly comment to make.
...why people would want a Bioshock or Shadow of the Colossus movie (or any Video Game movie, but I'll focus on those two, SPOILERS for them both, I guess).
Actually, this is kind of long, so I'll put the tl;dr first: Games are an interactive medium and have stories designed as such, trying to translate it to a non-interactive medium inherently means losing something important. Shouldn't we focus on improving the quality of story telling in our medium? Rather than...
It would probably be an image thing. Sony probably doesn't want to have a section under the PSN Store section labelled 'Porn.' They may lose money, but chances are the mainstream media would jump on it if it were to happen.
Lets look at Wii Play. A game that is absolutely horrible, lets apply their logic of game quality.
Metascore = 58
First week American sales = .18 million
Wii install base of first week = 1.1 million
Quality = metascore*sales/installbased
Quality = 58*.18/1.1
Quality = 9.5
That's right! Wii Play is better than Mass Effect 2, the Orange box, Uncharted 2 and practically every other game this generation.
I'm kind of ignorant to what Google is up to lately; what are they doing that's so evil?
Why do we pay almost double the American price? I can understand that it would cost a little more to reformat to work with our region encoding as well as shipping, but where does my extra ~$30 go?
Is it the publishers who demand to be payed so much more or is the the retailers?
Thanks.
I think that it is weird that the game that was supposed to define engaging narrative in an Interactive Medium is getting a non-ineractive release.
The plot of HR wasn't completely amazing, but what set it apart (for me at least) was the fact that I was in control of the characters.
Take 'The Lizard' trial, for instance. Without spoiling anything, I think its pretty safe to say that the scene was made very effective by the fact that the player had...
I don't get the Scott thing. What do Americans have against the name Scott?
Other than that it was pretty funny
Actually, MS is fairly open with XBL. They offer XNA which allows people to create their own games and sell them over Live (I really wish Sony would implement something similar, creating/sharing indie games over a subsection of the PSN Store would be awesome!). A quite well known example is 'I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MB1ES 1N IT!!!1" (Yes, it really does have a name that silly) which made a single person over $100,000!
I don't care about Cross-Game Chat or a Party sys...
Despite (or may, because of) his sore throat... that was amazing.
I have no idea why, but that was my favourite review from him in a long time. Game was awesome, but hearing Yahtzee rag on it is always fun.
However, I fail to see how a ZP review is considered 'news'
I have a friend who did. He doesn't care about the removal that much as Linux on PS3 hasn't been that useful (Far superior OS are available on PCs,).
Even some of the people who use it consider to be a simple novelty and nothing more.
Would it just be a basic gesture mapping (like most Wii Games) or would it be a full 1:1 translation of Movement? The later is unlikely due to the fact that essentually requires recoding the entire game, but the first wouldn't really add all that much to the experience.
Hopefully a happy medium can be found (I loved Heavy Rain, so any improvement will be awesome)

I love Sterling's articles. They are just so funny when you approach them with the right attitude.
It seems as if MS is VERY competitive with Natal, I honestly thought that it would be $100+, I just hope that it works out for them.
This seems like it will (unfortunately) completely counter-act Sony's Motion Controller. Such a competitive price and 14 launch games (provided that they aren't all just demo-type games like we've seen at E3) will definitely attract more consumer's than the wand (currently unpriced). Oh well, hope that the news doesn't hurt Sony too badly.
While I agree that games shouldn't ship with bugs. However it's not just COD, my personal favourite game this year (Uncharted 2) had some freezing bugs that no one pointed out in reviews.
Just a tip, vmanj, please pay for your games. You do realise that 100s of people spend years of their lives working on multi-million dollar projects and pirating games is effectively stealing money from ALL of those people (the corperate CEOs and the hard-working dev teams that work so hard to create the games that you play).
If you pirate games you are effectively trying to kill the game industry, if you don't pay for what you play then you are almost ensuring that companies wi...
I doubt a 3D conference would work. It would be amazing for the few hundred people watching it in person, but for the thousands watching on the TV/internet all of Sony's games would look like complete rubbish (just try watching a 3D film without the glasses andyou'll know what I mean).
That said, Sony's conference should easily be better than Microsofts underwhelming performance. Can't wait for tomorrow.
