Hmm I like the article but I disagree with some points. For me at least it isn't that the game ships "broken" It is the boldfaced lies companies think they are going to get away with. PR is a joke for almost every major videogame company. We shouldn't have to put up with this crap and really with the instant transmission like information relay for videos,audio,pictures, chat, links. We REALLY shouldn't.
As in not that we shouldn't put up with it but ...
I don't think it will be 5 years but it will be shorter than PS3 was this has to do almost entirely with the tech.
Though the PS4 is an impressive system the leap forward isn't anywhere near as big as it usually is. More often than not a system is on par with a mad range pc for about a year then gets left in the dust.
This time around it is on par with a mid range pc THREE YEARS AGO. This is VERY BAD.
Essentially though PS4 and Xbox O...
Whoa whoa hold on a damn second.
They did NOT create Okami.
Okami is one of my favorite underdog games out there and they did NOT create it.
They ported it. I am not saying that porting a game does not require skill I am sure it does but it is nowhere close to the same thing. I don't claim to be an expert in how exactly it works but my speculation would be a much larger more complicated form of changing the format of a video you downloade...
Hmm my view has always been that this is going to be a trainwreck. I am not happy about it but it has just given off that vibe to me from the beginning. I don't remember what it was I read but there was an article with one of the developers last year and he came off as defensive,apprehensive, and elitist all rolled into one. Not only is that a difficult combination for a person to accomplish but to me has just been a big red flag planted in the ground.
Again I DON'T ...
If it is delayed I don't think it will be in the US just Europe. Here in the US we are assbackwards in regards to censorship. All Violence is fine just don't show sex and you are all good. Where most everywhere else is ok with the sex and the excessive violence is frowned upon which in my opinion makes a hell of a lot more sense but to each their own.
Don't get me wrong I love the Uncharted series. Hell Naughty Dog is actually my favorite game developer across the board as far as consistency in quality goes. Uncharted 3 could of been better what it wasn't bad by any means just not as good as Uncharted 2 and Jak X Combat Racing was eh. That is it in their entire repertoire of videogames those are the only "not great" games they have made in my opinion of course.
Squaresoft used to be but Squareenix is a sh...
I feel your pain OP. I freaking work at Gamestop. I don't have a Wii U but plan to get one eventually. I worked the midnight release for the Smash Launch and as I was unpacking the boxes I seriously considered getting Marth. I don't have a Wii U I said. I can wait until next paycheck I said. There will be plenty I said. Hey this Villager one looks cool too I said. We only have one and it isn't preorded. I should just buy these right now I said. No I will wait until tomorrow I said...
I am sorry but there is simply no way this is possible.
This isn't me being a pessimist this is looking at the entirety of Hideo Kojima's career in videogames and his track record.
Hideo Kojima has in the vast majority of situations fails to meet original release date.
He is also one of the few videogame developers who more often than not EXCEEDS expectations instead of delivering an underwhelming experience.
These tw...
Yes for two reasons.
One nothing could have been done to prevent this. It wasn't a hack it was a DDoS attack. These are not the same and no amountil of "journalists" refusing to fact check changes this!
Two this is not anywhere close to as bad as the hack years ago when it was done for close to two months.
They didn't have to offer anything they extended all their sales and offers that were going on when people couldn't ...
This is inaccurate. I won't claim to be an expert on exactly why it is the case as hardware is not my specialty. However for some reason the PS3 is a better Bluray player than the PS4 AND the Xbox One. There are multiple hardware reviews that compare the 3.
Sony usually spends a ton making their system this time they almost made a profit. Both systems have a bare bones player though it has a fast read speed. Again I really wouldn't be able to explain more than that bu...
Those blatantly obvious duplicate accounts that disregard various n4g ToS on a constant basis? Seems like a big loss to me. All they would do is flip between arguing or agreeing with eachother as if they were speaking in the 3rd person. Sometimes entertaining, but mostly just outright annoying.
riiight so I replied to Zenith asking about Sasuke the NarutoXi SasukeXi guy and for some reason the comment got attached to a completely different comment?
masterfox I hate spoilers I mean despise them I would go as far to say I get a little irrational if people spoil stuff for me. Quite difficult when you work in a videogame store to deal with. Now having said that I have to say that someone telling you Naruto fights Sasuke at the end is not a spoiler. It has been a foreshadowing of the ENTIRE SERIES for AT LEAST nine years if not longer.
We have had constant flashbacks and fights that either don't end as expected or are co...
Forgive my ignorance but what the hell is XBMC Openelec? Love videogames but I am weaker in the hardware terminology dept.
Playstation 3. Odd yet true
Edited to explain this strange fact.
Let's look at the different types and ways media can be played with all systems from this current generation as well as previous
Wii : Nintendo Wii and Gamecube Games, Streaming
Wii U: Nintendo Wii and Wii U games, Streaming
Xbox 360: CD,DVD,Xbox 360, some Xbox games, Streaming, Flash Drive support
Xbox One : DVD, Blu-ray, ...
I think there is something more going on here.
My friend bought some Amiibo's as we were told during the Nintendo direct that you could play with them and against them.
Though this is true they are really glorified AI more than anything else.
Nintendo did a good job of telling blatant lies "unintentionally" with this Amiibo's Near every cool thing they said an Amiibo could do is "true" to an "extent"
I have though. When the same exact thing happened at the unveiling of the PS3. A standing ovation transitioned into dead silence in the middle of his sentence as he said "we wanted to show what would be possible with the power of the Playstation 3 Please be advised this is not an actual game in development. (Or something to that effect)
You don't give an "advisory" AFTER you show your damn video you give it before. In the history of any TV show that require...
I must admit this infuriated me.
They got so much hate over the tease that amounted to nothing when the PS3 was announced. This was the second act of that.
I don't dislike Squareenix but their development overall seems to have shifted towards more western release games Tomb Raider, Hitman, Just Cause and less at home in Japan.
Squaresoft was one of my favorite companies I cannot say the same for Squareenix.
I do enjoy A R...
Wrong there will still be plenty of japanese games for PS3 in 2016. Quite a few developers are still making games just for PS3 instead of PS4.
In addition those indie titles they tout on PS4 so much the majority of them are on all 3 platforms which is a "loophole" of sorts. Persona 5 still hasn't released in Japan yet. We will get a year after that probably.
It is highly unrealistic to expect the majority of games to be made for previous gen sys...
Harold I want so badly to comment back but you built the damn machine....so no can do. Too awesome to disagree with even if I do.
@Dark Ocelot No it doesn't. Square-enix explicitly stated not that FFXIV will not be releasing on Xbox One but that it NEVER will because of the way FFXI was handled on Xbox 360.
It all had to do with the Xbox Live policy. FFXI was an MMO as is FFXIV (obviously) Squareenix wanted to host the game on Xbox without requiring xbox live membership since it had a membership fee already. Microsoft didn't just turn them down they responded in the equivalent way that Sony resp...
