More power to you for that. I can't stand biased journalism. I review games myself but not paid for it, no magazine to have ad's from publishers like EA, and Activision throughout assuring the latest "call of duty" obtains no less then ___ score.

I am glad to see another site doing the same thing. Keep it up.

Once upon a time I used to be one of the worlds largest "Playstation" fanboys. I still prefer them over the others, but I c...

Am I the only one cracked up that this is on a Nintendo-exclusive site. I applaud them for their honesty and the article itself isn't half bad, but wouldn't editors flip out at someone posting an article on a Nintendo site that not only doesn't showcase much of anything Nintendo but the few instances it does it always does so negatively?

As well as the online players Call of Duty, Battlefield, Halo, Gears etc. Can you play some of these games on PS3 sure, but as a pretty hardcore Playstation fan myself I am not going to sit here and say Playstation Network is better than Xbox Live though because it is not. Cheaper, and less restrained sure. Better? Not by a longshot.

So ALL OF THE "sales data" that you see for ANY console. Doesn't mean a damn thing a few yea...

This again? Let's set the record straight here.

System sales. Those are the numbers we are looking at right?
Take the 360 hardware failure into account here. Take PS3's as well. PS3 has about a 25% failure rate with the dreaded YLOD. This is nothing compared to the original version Xbox 360 with SEVENTY PERCENT. The newer slim model is much better at around 35-40% but that still sucks.

So whatever numbers you "think" are the case. Ne...

No it won't be. Way to spout off nonsense at the mouth from no verifiable source.

Here is what we were told at the PS 4 Unveiling just in case you missed it. an updated version of the move technology will be imbedded inside every Dualshock 4 controller. The updated Camera ships with every system.

So you decide to just ignore all this to make "waves" pathetic.

Ugh. As an avid advocate against all news and journalism bs about "violent videogames making people violent" I can just as actively assure the genuinely real danger in being addicted to videogames. Videogame addict myself. Nowhere close to a hobby for me.

Which is why I stay as far away from WoW and the like as humanly possible. I am addicted enough already without playing a game that goes on perpetually.

You hit the nail on the head here. Games cost over 20x times on average what they used to to create. No one makes exclusives anymore unless they are in-house or digital. New franchises on the other hand that only release on one system initially then get either snapped up by the publisher buying them at which point they become truly exclusive or a partnership deal is worked out for x amount more games, or they feel shafted and port their game to another system. (Like Mistwalker who found devel...

No truth to this in the slightest.

Bethesda is notorious for not making exclusives anymore. Exclusive launch window? Sure. Exclusive Content? Occasionally. Timed DLC? Absolutely.

Completely exclusive games? (Tumbleweeds pass by while crickets chirp)

They are also unfortunately notorious for making one version and porting it to the rest without giving much concern of any kind over how it will perform on the ports.

Frankly tho...

Ah yes Agent I have been telling people about that for the past year. Remember everyone that it is the upcoming "PS3 exclusive" so though it would make sense to switch development over to PS4 it doesn't mean they will.

After all since the PS4 and Xbox One will both not be backwards compatible (though Gaikai with PS4 will be a "compromise" of sorts) The install base is too big on PS3 and Xbox 360 to ignore. Not to mention The Last of Us which really alr...

Ok so I have lurked this site since it pretty much started but rarely ever post. Seems to be some problem with it saving my login information or something. That is neither here nor there though.

I can tell you with certainty that Xing Interactive is not privy to this type of information. I work in the industry in various facets, and have contacts within the major developers. The difference is I don't state something as a fact without doing the proper research. This articl...

Well Jasmine you just drew the short straw. As a journalist myself I really try to defend an individual who writes a piece giving their opinion as they are attacked by their readers. I really can't do that here though, as every comment you have received appears to be an entirely justified response to your article.

I can't tell if you are really this ignorant about your own subject matter or if you are just trolling for views. Though it is true that negative attention ...

What is more likely to happen though is a double release. Say not so hypothetically Xbox720? PS4? release fall 2013? They can re-release a game of the year style game with updated (Graphics, reworked missions, improved controls)

Hopefully we won't be looking at a deliberately above average game so they can "improve" it for the next batch of consoles.

Honestly though I wish I could say otherwise I find this to be quite plausible.

Think about it what is the one thing you can count on Square-Enix to do with their videogames?

Delay Them!

Sadly without a single exception in the last few years any game they haven't delayed the release of ends of being god awful. Square used to be one of my favorite video game publishers. Squeenix? not so much. :(

That article is ignorant and I informed the writer of such in my comment which they may or may not approve who knows?

And Yes Penny arcade has the right idea why the hell is smacking a girls ass "wrong and demeaning but its ok to commit genocide a million times over in so many videogames, of steal from peoples homes with the justification that "you are the hero and can do what you want by right" or rip peoples spines out of their body.

Green Lanther is not a character! You are combining two characters Green Lantern and Black Panther neither of which will appear in the game.

5441d ago 1 agree0 disagreeView comment

you are referring to MK VS DC Universe the last MK game released around 2-3 years ago this is a completely different game. Actually come to think of it is Quan Chi even in MK9? I thought it was just everyone from MK1-3? excluding ultimate?

5441d ago 0 agree0 disagreeView comment

hadn't actually looked at the "video" before dismissing it now I have.

The icon where Green lantern is is a slot reserved for a drop down menu for DLC characters so its just some clever use of photoshop.

so I am 100% sure this isn't true. Actually Ed Boon also said in several interviews there is (at least at the time of that interview a month or so ago) no exclusive character for the xbox360. When Kratos was first announced speculation ran rampant in whether Master Chief or Marcus or Dom or Dante from Dante's Inferno among others would be the exclusive character.

This is definitely not the case (doesn't mean Microsoft can't throw money at them to change their ...

ugh this makes me sick! I commented rather viciously within the article itself. But all that "list" does is generate "hate traffic through controversy the sheer fact of how incredibly poorly researched and hype ridden the list is gives it a ton of traffic, it also makes every journalist everywhere look like a tool because whoever wrote it couldn't have done ANY research. (They contradict everything they say as well as what the other 1000's of other information outlets o...
