Better question: How can it not? The procurement of OuyaRift by Facebook pretty much guarantees that it won't be about gaming.

That means Morpheus (which is confirmed to work with PS4) will be about gaming.

Next in the series:
"Which is better? Playing video games or rain?"

The answer may surprise you. (Hint: It's "yellow." )

All of this is a peek into the business world

Developer/ Team: This game will be finished in Q1 2014

Suit: Can't do that, must be a launch title.

Developer/ Team: That's not possible.

Journalist: (to suit) What can you tell us about the release date of Watch Dogs?

Suit: It'll be a launch title.

Developer/ Team (reading news article) GIGANTIC FACEPALM.

9th Dawn was greenlit. But that was the last I'd heard. I want to play that game on PC since I don't own a tablet.

But, all the news seems so old so I don't know what is happening with it.

This is a really good review. It seems to me that it would score closer to 9 than to 8 though, based on your praise of the game.

From now on, the Rift formerly known as Oculus, shall be known as the Ouya Rift.

The real question isn't whether any of us would accept $2 Billion, it is, "How much would you give back to the people that believed in you?"

Without Kickstarter, there is no ORift.

Grab Second Son, definitely worth it. Amazing game to tide you over until this game comes out.

I think, unfortunately, this just exposed a major flaw in Kickstarter.

And that is, who does this belong to? Certainly, the creators own the IP (which is what we all want, correct?) But, the community that backed it created the free advertising and buzz around this product.

Without the community consistently talking about it, it would disappear. Are the creators beholden to the community? Yes. Are they legally bound? No.

So any feeli...

That is great! But, I am like most, I am pessimistically interested, like I was with Natal (Kinect) and Move.

On the other hand, Sony may have a better idea in that you don't puke like you do with ORift and it connects to the PS4. So, you already have a bevy of 1st person games to go with it (to an extent.)

Plus, considering what Notch blogged about the sale, it sounds like he will be looking at the competition instead, he is done with ORift.

True. I don't expect that though. In fact, the opposite is true because I am getting to play games I may never have thought to buy, which I think is the purpose of the service.

For instance, I never was much interested in Borderlands, got it on PS+ at no extra charge and boom! I am a huge fan. I bought Borderlands 2 and had a blast with it.

But the PS4 stuff has really blown me away. I think I responded to someone earlier who asked "Where are ...

I will definitely be getting Destiny day 1. Preordered at Gamestop and got a Beta Code for it. Awesome!

But this list is quite impressive.

Then I welcome Notch to Sony's Project Morpheus.

If Sony can work with him like they do most devs, then it's lights out Occulus.

Pardon me, I didn't realize that some people didn't understand the phrase "It would be great if..."

This is a phrase used in pure speculation. It should never, ever be confused as if someone were stating a fact. I am trying not to snark here as I am left with two conclusions: one that the readers of my comment really don't know the connotation of that phrase, or that two their reading comprehension is really poor.

I am speechless about...

If violent video games made people more violent, then violence in the USA would have increased as games became more violent. *Checks FBI Database* Nope. The relationship is completely inverse.

As games have become more violent, actual violence in society (rape, murder, assault, robbery, GTA) have decreased to a level not seen in 4 decades.

The correct word should have been "Assumption."

As in, "Indie Devs Confirm Our Assumption About Working With PlayStation."

It has a more positive denotation and connotation.

Wait, so you guys actually go around commenting on threads of one game about a different game that isn't even similar, (one is SP the other MP) but also is not even on the same platform?!?!

Wow. Hey, let's look up the "New Yoshi's Island" reviews and compare it to Civilization 5! That will make ton of sense.

It is a 90+. I wouldn't give it a 10 because there were some clipping issues early in the introduction. After that small snafu, the game becomes so engrossing!

I am not a 100% complete player. I play the story and move on, USUALLY. The beauty of this title (yes, I used that word purposely) isn't just the graphics, it is the engaging world in which Delsin lives. But, there is a reason I don't just go through the story, it is because the DUP actually are so ant...

How do you know what or why this happening? Why should they release a statement? Have you seen any industry that tracks the comings and goings of employees from one firm to another?

It would be great if they were all leaving to form a new studio.. that is a perfect hit list to make new IPs.

Maniac, see my trolling comment above for an honest evaluation of what you say. I don't entirely disagree with you, I just know that the bubble system keeps this site from being a total troll fest.

I don't claim the bubble system is perfect, it isn't but it still is responsibility. If there is a better system I would love to have it implemented. But no system at all would be worse.
