If Tim Schafer is there then it is regarding one of two things.
The Kickstarter game a Double Fine Adventure will release on all platforms now instead of just PC, and/or he has successfully bought the rights to Psychonauts (wishful thinking I know)
Why is this news to anyone? Hideo Kojima has always taken his sweet time to make a videogame. The vast majority of the titles he has released have been really great games. He doesn't care in the slightest when a publisher tells him a game should be ready by. He never has.
You know how it is no longer uncommon for games to be delayed for months if not years on end? How developer's will stand up to publishers rather than giving in and releasing the game before it is tru...
Looking around on the internet at Black Friday deals it becomes painfully obvious retailers found out about the new systems at the same time as we did maybe a tiny bit sooner. These sales are set up months in advance as it is usually the day a large retailer takes the biggest loss on their items. So they have to figure months beforehand exactly what they are going to discount and run it through all the proper channels then print the ad. Some retailers added something for PS4 or Xbox One in at...
You bring up a good point and I did take that into consideration thinking of the releases of Ninja Gaiden Sigma 1 and 2. It doesn't affect all games, and with some it is more noticable than others but it does affect them. Maybe it is better now but I know that Sony Bend did run into serious space limitations with Golden Abyss. I think the graphics have to take a hit when they wouldn't actually have to is primarily what it comes down to, but with longer games like Japanese RPG's he...
So wait until Smash Bros then. There is no way it won't have another price drop soon. That price drop wasn't really even a drop it was just retiring the 8 GB version and putting the 32 GB at that price.
Only to bring it back a few months later with the Skylander Swapforce Bundle they have now still at the same price as the 32 GB though.
This has never been the case. The only Grand Theft Auto game to ever make it's way to Nintendo was Chinatown Wars. The Original Wii didn't have a 1/4 of the required specs to run GTA IV. There may have been extremely early talks about maybe porting one of the Playstation ones to the 64 When it was still top down and Rockstar was DMA Design, but since GTA III was first announced Nintendo has made it very clear they want nothing to do with it.
It always cracks me up whe...
a typo is one thing but a consistent typo in the title of the game your article is about several times including in the URL is something else entirely. Lightning, not Lighting it takes 5 seconds to properly research this.
Sadly this makes more sense then you would think at first.
I have a Playstation Vita, and I enjoy playing it immensely.
However there is a big problem that has been apparent yet carefully hidden away from the start with the system.
I wouldn't dare mention the obvious lack of games (which is about to improve substantially thanks to mandatory Vita support for PS4 games.
No I speak of something much worse carefully hidden a...
Zone of the Enders 3!!!! or Snatcher?
Shu is a smart guy. He has been around long enough to know what to say or not say in a given situation regarding competitors.
On the one hand a Nintendo/ Sony Alliance really doesn't seem like it would ever be possible. The entire reason Playstation even exists is because Nintendo screwed Sony over almost on the scale of Brutus and Julius Caesar. Sony was building them a Sega CD like Console. Nintendo decided they wanted to continue to use cartridges and instead of talkin...
What you have here is one of two possible scenarios.
1. Completely fabricated to troll people
2. Completely true and this ungrateful POS could get his dad in some serious trouble for bragging about a perk of his online without asking.
Hmm I guess there is a 3rd highly plausible one. Publicity stunt on SONY's end.
I don't disagree unfortunately it won't be though. The "Comical" Saints Row from 3 on has sold through the roof. I don't see them going back to "their roots" Since "They" aren't even who they used to be. THQ is no more same with Volition sadly. Lets assume (wishfully) MAYBE 5-10% of the original staff from Saints Row 1 and 2 followed The Saints Row series over to Deep Silver. The chances are still non-existent of the game ever being in that same k...
(Peers into crystal ball)
SEGA tells us something we have known for months..
Hey everyone we bought Atlus offically.
Edit: How and why did I end up commenting on an article that came out almost a week ago? This was on the front page? Sorry everyone I should have read more closely.
Rainslacker I couldn't agree more with basically everything you said.
As a fellow reviewer myself (thought not much of anything recently) I can verify your sound advice most of which I and people I worked with on a previous site learned the hard way.
I think a lot of the smaller sites are worried maybe about not being taken seriously by the developer's and publishers, but I can confirm (again from my own experience) this is not the case. A company doe...
Dear Japan...
I Love You!
No.
I never got around to finishing it but I was in the process of reviewing this game myself.
This could have been one of the greatest expansion packs for a videogame ever made. Instead it is Saints Row 3.1 with superpowers. The superpowers themselves though awesome take away from EVERYTHING else Saints Row has ever done.
It plays like a very large DLC There are loads of customization options here and again the superpowers are really cool, b...
The Order 1886 will not release in Spring. That I have actual confirmation from Sony themselves on. They didn't tell me an exact time just that it won't be Spring. Could be as early as summer but far more likely to be Fall.
That first paragraph was said in jest. Everything else was the actual message. My apologies for the confusion. I originally had in the message itself "joking aside and in all seriousness" before the rest of the message, but I removed it. I really don't remember why as the confusion wouldn't exist had I just kept it in the message.
I don't believe for a second it was delayed because they wanted to compete for GOTY. I have no doubt the game is going to be...
Come on tell the truth. You don't want to go up against The Last of Us or Grand Theft Auto V for Game of the Year. Next year you would be going up against Titanfall, Destiny, and who knows how many other big titles offhand.
This is highly disappointing. A few full disclosure's here. I work in retail, I eat sleep and breathe the videogame industry and have for longer then should be possible, occasionally review on the side.
I play pretty much everythin...
Article description a fail. The PS4 is not backwards-compatible in any form until Gaikai (the exact details of which very little have been revealed (game selection specifically)
"Somehow still have a PS3" what is up with a comment like that? Did plenty of people trade in their PS3's for 4's and Xbone's? Sure. There is no reason to get rid of it though if you prefer japanese RPG's as there are a good half dozen RPG's (if not more) left to release ...
