Back in the 2600 days Activision came along and they were GODS! They made THE best games back then. Skiing, Hockey, Pitfall, etc., etc. They were the very first 3rd party publisher. I wonder where Bob Whitehead is now? I idolized that man. You have to understand each game was basically a one man project and the creator's image and bio was on the box or in the instructions. What an amazing time. I wish Activision was the same company it was back in the 80s.

Sega Master System (skipped many years playing on the first PCs)
Sega Genesis (and CD unfortunately)

This is on wikipedia.org under Demon's Souls. You can get the source material from wikipedia. Edit: Its' a polygon.com interview from June 13, 2013. So, I'm officially excited that this rumour may very well be true.

*While Dark Souls is not a sequel to Demon's Souls, but a spiritual successor, there has been no official announcement of a sequel to Demon's Souls. However, a European retailer listed "Demon's Souls II" on their website as an ...

The KZ series has always had a great back story and great single player campaigns. And what I have always appreciated the most (and I hope this holds true for Shadow Fall) has been the ability to play all the MP maps with BOTs. It might not be quite the same but 10 years from now I can drop KZ 3 in my PS3 and still play on all the MP maps I paid for.

On a side note, I checked out a little of the recent videos of SP action and the very first scene where the player ziplines...

Uncharted, TLOU crossover. Remember in UC3 there was the newspaper article referring to the beginning of the outbreak. Same universe. So, what happens to Drake and crew when the world, as we know it, comes to an end? How does he survive and where does he go? Is there an ancient civilization's artifact that can bring humanity back from the brink? Will he have to kill an infected Sully? It could be rather dramatic.

Sorry. Replied to the wrong post. See JoySticksFTW
comment about Asgard.
That's what I am hoping for. That was one of the ideas the orginal team had for the series. Anything Viking is really big right now. And, damn it, if they finally do go there I want me some Amon Amarth in the soundtrack!

There are a couple of things about the SP that I'm not happy about. The greatest thing, to me, about all GoW games to this point has been the narrative. You always knew what you were doing and why. There was always that cinematic break that got you up to speed and made you feel like what you were doing was important. I don't get that feeling as much in GoW:A. Maybe it will come later but at the point I'm currently at I'm not 100% sure what I am supposed to do or why I am ...

Respect to all gamers but what the hell is up with you PC guys? I play games on my PC, specifically the ones that I know I can't get on a console. Same goes for my consoles. I played the God of War Ascension demo last night. Could a high end PC run that game? Sure. Will I ever be able to play that game, a game and series I really like, on a PC? Probably not. Hence, I own a PS3. When I'm chaotically killing mythical greek beasts I'm not thinking "Damn this CPU/GPU int...

Sorry, didn't read the article but Star Wars Pinball is coming out today also. That's all I want.

Oh I'm going to watch it regardless but, hey, being nice never hurt. She has given me 6 children and stuck with me for twenty years. I don't mind asking.

I just asked my wife (not a fan of the videogame thing unless it's on her phone) to please indulge me this evening as I turn into a little kid again for an hour or so. You see, I've been gaming for nearly 40 years and this is the most excited I have been about a new console in a long time. This is going to be a long day at work.

I'm hoping to see Sony Santa Monica and Naughty Dog show something at the very least. I'm sure we'll see a peek at GT6 as we...

I kept waiting for the update last night and finally gave up around 10:30 pm est. Got up this morning and saw the message about the $10. I've owned a PS3 and had the same account since Feb 2007. I've been a Plus member for about two years now and just signed up for another year (plus 3 months free). I would have to think it boils down to the six years with the same ID. It was a nice surprise either way.

It won't end Nintendo but it is going to hurt. When you walk into your local Walmart in January and see a ton of Wii U s sitting on the shelf (not locked behind glass) you know there is a problem. People are holding their money right now to see what Sony and MS offer. If those companies meet or exceed expectations the Wii U will most likely be Nintendo's worst console offering ever and they will be, at least, a full generation behind. I know Nintendo fans will not like this next i...

I didn't get to read every reply to this story so I apologize if someone already said any of this.

I certainly believe ND will show something for the PS4, if not Wednesday then at E3, but it may not be an Uncharted game. I only say this because it seems apparent from hints in UC3 that The Last of Us and Uncharted take place not only in the same universe but also in the same timeframe. We're talking a matter of months to a few short years after the events of UC3 th...

Well, I've been console gaming since I was about seven years old and have owned (new, like when they were released) the systems listed below. If I was forced to pick my favorite overall it would probably be the Sega Genesis. But I truly love them all. Sorry Nintendo and MS, I was never a big fan...

Sony has such a long history of poorly misunderstood teasers that they have their own fan base confused! Let's take a serious look at everything here please.

Sony has been trying to rebuild their image. Though PS3 sales have come around over the years Sony has struggled with their other consumer products and the company is hurting. When the PS3 hit the market it was so very far behind it is quite amazing it ever caught up at all. Usher in the next generation.

I know it's just the X, O, Triangle, Square we all know and love but I just think lining them up below the PS simply, and beautifully, says nothing but PS4.

I'll be damned. If true, Sony is finally getting it. BEAT the competition (MS not Nintendo, Wii U is more current generation than next) to the punch and let them play catch-up! Hopefully it will be a fine show...
