You're joking right? Please tell me you're not being serious.
PS4 games already destroy the visuals seen in Metro 2033, and they're only at alpha stage in development. Doesn't matter how much you raise the resolution, the graphics of such an old game will still look more or less the same.
I can crank up DOOM 3 or HL2 to 5000x3000 resolution, that doesn't mean the graphics even come CLOSE to those in PS4 games. If anything, higher resolutio...
I'll always be more impressed with a true open-world--one where I can go anywhere, anytime in a single huge map--than a game that is merely comprised of a series of pseudo-open, "sandbox" levels. Crytek can layer on all the post-processing effects and graphical tricks they want, but all that dazzle doesn't make up for the lack of ambition in gameplay and level design compared to Far Cry 3.
Crysis 3 levels aren't even as big as Crytek's own Crysis 1 or F...
SilentNegotiator, I agree with many of the points made in your blog, and hope that too many self-righteous, politically-correct people don't get on your case for expressing a perfectly reasonable contrarian opinion.
There certainly is nothing wrong with large breasts, skimpy clothing, or an in-shape body, especially when many women in real life exhibit these characteristics. However, one point you should consider and are possibly overlooking is that when the vast majorit...
IGN gave Black Ops 2 a 93% score, while giving Far Cry 3 (seen by many as best shooter of the year) a 90%. That should tell you all you need to know.
I'm not exactly a COD hater either, but the fact of the matter is that Black Ops 2 has been a laggy mess of a game since launch, and the single player campaign was mediocre. How it received a 93 from a major gaming site is simply beyond me.
It's partly the fact that Tomb Raider is a shooter (3rd-person cover-based shooter), and that sells more than a hack-and-slash beat-em-up. It's also partly the fact that Tomb Raider heavily invested in a gritty, story and character-driven adventure in the vein of Uncharted, and Uncharted is in-vogue right now.
It's also partly the fact that maybe--just maybe--Crystal Dynamics simply did a better job of making a game--a very good game--that resonates with gamers on...
Those Treyarch/Activision customer service reps sound like freaking idiots. It doesn't even make sense that they ban people for having Fios or fast internet, because many gamers have fast internet. It sounded like they just wanted this guy off the phone because he was bothering them or something, so they made up something on the spot about him having "fast internet."
The funny thing is, fast internet doesn't even guarantee you'll have a good experience i...
Yes, the horrible netcode and lag compensation is the problem with new Call of Duty games. Even with dedicated servers, Treyarch can, have, and will still screw it up.
Funny how people have been drooling over Watch Dogs' visuals for the past year, and Second Son just comes right out of nowhere to produce FAR superior graphical fidelity (if the trailer is indeed real-time).
It's either a tech demo of what mobile hardware can do with AMD processors, or it's a tech demo of a new real-time global illumination solution.
Omg. I thought I was only joking, but look at number 1 on this list:

That's just embarrassing.
Who said I didn't enjoy it? I never even played it, so I can't (and did not) pass judgement.
Simply making an observation.
Those Japanese gamers sure are open-minded when it comes to games.
I wonder what their favorite PS3 game was last generation. Final Fantasy 13?
Dude, this is such a freaking ripoff. I clicked the link expecting to see something that I could see any time using Google Image search.
Full-fledged expansion packs, Bethesda-style? I certainly hope so.
This theory makes no sense. If there were only ~60,000 real people buying the Wii U to play it (not just to re-sell it), then what makes the author think that ~80,000 real people will buy the console in February?
EDIT: Okay, apparently the author thinks those 40,000 returns were from November-December sales, thus not counting as net sales in January. Even this sounds really fallacious to me, as not all of those ~40,000 returns will be from flippers. Many of them will be legit...
This article is about Crysis 2.
Yeah, the timing isn't really that premature, if you look at the history of console announcements. I don't remember exactly, but PS3 was announced, what, 2 years before it actually came out?
Revealing a new console and then launching it ~9 months later is pretty damn quick, actually.
Maybe they got some inside knowledge that there would be a surprise Xbox 720 announcement pretty soon, and they wanted to beat Microsoft to the punch.
I'd take a wireless bluetooth headset over a wire tethered to the headphone jack any day.
Developers like Naughty Dog, Santa Monica, Quantic, and Sucker Punch are so talented, that they'll adapt and overcome pretty quickly. I'm sure that the Cell architecture was extremely foreign to them when the PS3 first came out, yet they ended up doing amazing things with it. I'm sure X86 will be much less of a learning curve than the Cell was.
Graphics output is predominately dependent on the GPU anyway, not the CPU, and the GPU of the PS3 was just a PC GPU (a 78...
