lol, what? Yes DmC averaged a respectable 85% on reviews aggregates, it didn't sell over a million though, it shipped over a million. After 4 months it has only sold around 700K and its sales have slowed to a crawl, it performed horribly despite a good critical reception, the last game in the series (DMC4) sold 2.7 million http://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/... (not close to 4 million 00).

Indie games won't save the Vita...

It needs Gran Turismo, God of War, Grand Theft Auto, another Assassin's Creed, proper Call of duty and an Elder Scrolls game for the west and a Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy, Monster Hunter for the east.

If they release a few of the games above during the next 2 years the Vita can have a positive turnaround.

An Infamous, Bioshock and cool new IPs will help a lot too.

@DeadlyFire I don't see why it broke the mold but Crash didn't, that franchise was twice as big and only UC2 is considered one of the best PS3 games.

Naughty may have said Drake's story is not done after UC3 doesn't mean they are going to continue it, maybe they just meant another developer will make spin offs like Golden Abyss.

I hope Naughty Dog make a new IP for the PS4 and leave Uncharted to Sony Bend to make another Vita game before the ...

The series always looks boring and uninteresting to me before. Then Castlevania: Lords of Shadow came along and it's an amazing game! I can't wait for the sequel.

It has no chance at outselling God of War: Ascension but hopefully it'll come decently close and will be a huge hit for the studio.

This is why I hate Naughty Dog, they are unbelievably arrogant. I mean, in 24 years they've only created 1 game that averages in the 95% range (92.5-97.5) whereas Sony Santa Monica created 3 in a row in 14 years whilst sharing their time helping tons of other developers on their games, so why are they so big headed? They aren't that great.

People only started to notice and respect them since 2009 and now they think they're the shit. They should be more humble. I will...

I want a new God of War for the Vita to make up for God of War: Ascensions single player being sub-par! (still decent btw)

If it's a first party game I'm expecting a new GoW or GT. If third party I hope it's a Vita exclusive GTA.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is one of the best looking games this generation, I expect the sequel to be somewhere between God of War III and God of War: Ascension visually which is insane for a multiplatform game.

After God of War: Ascension turned out kind of disappointing I'm hoping that Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 turns out amazing!

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is the best and most successful game in the series. It makes me sad that Mercury Steam will not continue with the series but I'm just happy that they're going to deliver another masterpiece before another developer takes over... hopefully they don't ruin everything.

Only one of those shots is in-game and it doesn't look that great.

I really think people are hyping this game way too much, I very much doubt it will match the hype and it will probably leave everyone disappointed.

The games that will win the majority of GOTY awards are Bioshock Infinite, GTA V and maybe Watch Dogs (hopefully Tomb Raider too). I doubt TLoU will dominate this year against amazing competition, should win a lot of best PS3 GOTY awards unles...

You can try to make up specs and talk about them as if they're facts all you want, at the end of the day if Sony developers can makes games look as amazing as God of War: Ascension, The Last of Us, Beyond Two Souls or Killzone 3 on the PS3 and the PS4 is what, 10 times more powerful, the games next generation will be near enough film quality.

The PS4 specs ARE going to cut it, hell, the Killzone: Shadow Fall demo was poorly optimised running on just 3/7GB ram (1GB reserv...

I don't know why people say shit like this and completely ignore GT5 (sold over 9 million) and God of War 3 (sold 5.2 million May 2012, over 6 million now). Ignore two genre defining franchises that are Sony's best sellers and claim most Sony exclusives don't sell well? Good logic there.

The only 2 huge franchises exclusive to Xbox is Gears of War and Halo. GT series is almost as big as Halo. God of War is as big or bigger than Gears of War. Uncharted is bigger th...

Sony Santa Monica new IP.

Ready at Dawn new IP.

Naughty Dog new IP. (please continue new IP per generation ND! Another developer can continue to milk the franchise).

GT6 reveal.

The Last Guardian will become a PS4 game (If we see no gameplay this year just assume it's been canceled).

An exclusive from Ninja Theory, Heavenly Sword 2?

Something on Final Fantasy & a GTA5 timed exclusive....

Wii U is an 8th generation console, just like the PS4 & Nexbox will be.

It isn't comparable to the proper 8th generation consoles in terms of power though, it's on par (or slightly better) than the HD twins of the 7th generation. In fact, I bet we'll never see a better looking game on the Wii U than God of War: Ascension, TLoU or Beyond Two Souls. I doubt they'll even have better looking games than God of War III, Killzone 3, Uncharted 3 or Heavy Rain. <...

I'd love for Apple to make their own console. We know it'd be beautiful, reliable, fast, well-supported and of high quality in every aspect.

I reckon Apple could form a couple of amazing game studios to get some great exclusives on their platform and it'll be popular & powerful enough for 3rd party developers to justify supporting it. I think it would be great to have another competitor in the home console market, then I could buy the PS4 & iPlay (instead ...

Naughty Dog aren't that great, at all.

They have 1 game that averages around 95% since 1989. One trick pony. After UC2 turned out to be a critical hit (96%) they made the cash-in UC3, a soulless carbon-copy and it averaged around 90% with most fans thinking UC2 is best. If they continue the series it will go even more downhill to a 85% average then 80% average etc. I think TLoU won't match up to the insane amount of hype it has and I think ND should stop making UC ga...

Can someone please share a link to the post on Twitter by the senior producer at Sony Santa Monica teasing a new project reveal for today?

It's ridiculous how that game was forgotten about.

I actually think when it comes to visuals (current PS3 exclusives only) it's: God of War: Ascension > God of War III > Uncharted 3 >/= Killzone 3 > Heavy Rain > Killzone 2 > Uncharted 2.

I went back playing through all of the above games and was most surprised by how dated UC2 looks now. I believe GoW3 is overall better looking than UC3, it has better lighting, less aliasing, higher...

Yay! Now they can make some more films masquerading as games for us to 'play'!

Heavy Rain is mediocre, Beyond will probably be a little better but I honestly don't care for Quantic Dreams or their despicable leader, David Cage.

Agree with Rico and Nathan Drake.

Rico was just the most annoying character ever, I was hoping he'd die but nope, I only bought Killzone 3 in the hopes that he'd die, nope. Damn it.

As for Nathan Drake, I don't like him at all. He's just a generic pretty boy and Naughty Dog can't decide whether he's a genius sympathetic action-man or a clumsy murderous fool.
