The controversy is about whether the violence is excessive or whether it is necessary to the story. Further, why would the developers choose this clip in particular to promote the game? Is their target demographic young males that are titillated by this kind of violent content?
Don't get me wrong, I don't think that the content should be censored, but admittedly I was a bit taken aback by the level of violence in the trailer. We don't want to get to the point wh...
@-EDMIX- I think you meant to say Horizon Zero Dawn "succeeded" Killzone just as Resistance: Fall of Man "succeeded" Ratchet and Clank, etc. However, your point is well taken. Sony has a tradition of developing new original IP that SETS INDUSTRY STANDARDS for interactive entertainment. Microsoft, on the other hand seems less willing to take the same creative risks. In fact, it is fair to say that they are eons behind Sony in terms of the quality and diversity of their orig...
Correction from article: Valkyria Chronicles II was released on PSP in the United States. However, Valkyria Chronicles III was only released in Japan.
I played one PS2 game on my PS3. It was Persona 4. This is one of the best JRPGs ever made, so I am glad that the PS3 had that feature.
With that being said, I currently have a backlog of about 8 PS4 games that I need to get through. I couldn't care less about the lack of B/C on the PS4. Between my PS4/PSVR/PSVita there is more than enough current generation content to keep me busy.
I guess if your an Xbox gamer B/C becomes more critical due to lack ...
At the end of the day, Microsoft does not have the software portfolio or user base to compete with Sony. Scorpio is just a reactionary piece of hardware built by a company that his three steps behind its main competitor. I hope it succeeds, because competition is great for the industry, but if it is priced too high it will be DOA.

Rez Infinite is pretty close to being a perfect VR experience IMO. Some genres don't translate as well to VR, but Rez was originally conceived as a VR game so it translates perfectly!

Agreed. This is one time that I have to agree with Pachter. s45 lamented that console gamers are "stuck in the nineties". That isn't a condescending statement at all... /s Kind of a nonsensical statement since many of the console gamers here weren't even born in the nineties.
I must confess that I have a gaming laptop, but I am primarily a console gamer. If I didn't sit in front of a computer all day I would probably be more enthusiastic about going h...
Very interesting if true. Now it all makes sense... Why cannibalize your own sales when there is no format war to be won?

The lack of UHD Blu Ray drive is pretty disappointing. I personally enjoy watching movies as much as playing video games. I thought that the UHD Blu Ray drive would be a given in the PSPro.
Since I am PS/PC gamer, I now have to consider shelling out $300 plus dollars for a UHD Blu Ray player. It would have been nice to have this feature included with the Pro
With that being said, I still have a PSPro on pre-order because my PS games actually look slightly...
I got mine from Best Buy! Amazon sold out almost instantaneously. Then I tried Gamestop and they wanted to charge $30 for shipping... So then I tried Best Buy and voila!
I am going to have to find a buyer for the camera since I already have one...

I beat the first game, but it was an admittedly frustrating experience. A lot of trail and error gameplay.
To be honest I am not all that excited about the reboot, and it is a bit mystifying that they are attempting to reboot the franchise when they are likely to get the same lukewarm reception.

Congratulations! You did better than me. Sadly, I only managed to save 2 people.
I am going to keep replaying the game until I figure out how to save all of the characters.
I truly believe in my heart of hearts that this game marks a functional branch point in the evolution of interactive storytelling.
10/10 for me as well.

I love it when our beloved video game "journalists" get their facts wrong.
The article states that their current CEO was a "server & enterprise" guy. Actually, he is a veteran of the "Server & Tools" division, which was recently re-branded as the "Cloud & Enterprise" division after their most-recent corporate restructuring.
I stopped reading after that because I figured that the article summarized everythi...
I agree with this comment 100%.
Terrence Malick (a film director mentioned in the article) is widely regarded by film critics and scholars as one of the finest contemporary filmmakers working in the industry today. His last film completely bombed at the box office. Is this because it didn't get the marketing exposure that it "deserved"? No. It bombed because most moviegoers are unable to process the disjointed and meditative nature of its narrative. Therefore, i...
Agreed. This trailer is excellent. It conveys to the viewers that COD:AW is a an exciting, action-packed game that will fulfill your unconscious wish of being a super-soldier. I would say that the marketing team knocked this one out of the park.
When did our beloved gaming journalists become so deluded about their role in this industry? It is it too difficult for them to comprehend that Journey and Call of Duty coexist in our industry? News flash!! I own both games! The two a...
Well, looks like I will be getting this on the PS4 since my gaming laptop won't be able to run it.
Those are some high minimum requirements...

Looks like Polygon received their marching orders from Redmond, Washington...
Is it just me or is this one of the most difficult articles to follow in a long time? The author should stop trying so hard to be clever and provide us with some insight as to why the PS4 has been so successful. There is nothing here that hasn't been said five thousand times. Perhaps that is too much to ask for from our esteemed video game "journalists".

I have the same problem. My wife likes to play bingo on my Kindle and nothing else. WTF?

It is an amazing game! It beautifully captures the awe and wonder of the first two entries of the series.
