I agree 100% buddy, I'm sure Capcom were happy to share the evolution of their artwork, I'm just not sure they'd be happy with the wording of the blog post that suggests that a character design / Intellectual Property owned by them was being credited as a PlayStation character and not a Capcom IP.

Nonetheless, the series has evolved massively from the original incarnation of the game the increased Polygon count on the Rathalos looks am...

@Lazyeye

I agree, comparing games from the PS1 and PS2 era to today's games, the improvement in polycount is huge.

After saying this, I think it's actually quite surprising how well Monster Hunter's Rathalos and Palico's hold up even by today's standard because of the stellar art direction in Capcom's series of games, the same can be said about God of War.

I think it's a little bit of a stretch to call Rathalos and the Palicos from Capcom's Monster Hunter series "iconic PlayStation characters".

The Monster Hunter series may have started on PlayStation platforms, but it's since released on Windows, Wii, Wii U, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo Switch, Android and iOS. If anything they are iconic Capcom characters.
The same argument could be made about Tekken to a lesser extent.

***"the PS5 is just called PS by this articles standards"***

Ridiculous comparison, it's not a 'standard' that applies to every product from every company, it's a naming convention specified by a company that applies to THAT specific company's product.

***"And if Lockhart and Anaconda release on the same day?"***

Lockhart would be Xbox.
Anaconda would be Xbox Series X.

Series X identifies the console as part of the higher end X line of consoles.

Think Sony Bravia Master Series of TV's, still a Bravia TV just higher end for more money.

***"Yep! So, it's an original Xbox, not a new Xbox. :D"***

I know... Imagine the confusion it's going to cause holiday 2020 when parents go shopping for little Tommy's Christmas present, ask for an Xbox and the retail assistant pulls out a console from 2001, almost 20 years ago...

@Septic

I do believe I called this 3 days ago my good man...

***"What if the name of the rumoured Lockhart model is simply "Xbox" and the X Series moniker is a way to clearly identify the enthusiast level model from each generation of Xbox consoles?

This would make the naming of the the Series X and Xbox One X consistent and identifiable as the high end "X" models. Series S would be the mid generation slim revis...

I've been playing My Friend Pedro on Game Pass since it was added last week, what a fantastic little game, super violent with unique and interesting gameplay. I'm finding GP invaluable for discovering hidden gems that I might not normally play, it's saving me money too as I can try loads of games for the cost of the subscription.

I saw Untitled Goose Game featured on Sony's State of Play and I thought looked great but assumed it was an exclusive - imagine my...

***"I think the open worlds from Yakuza are the perfect proof of that statement"***

I clicked this article and was going to write exactly this. Agree 100%, less can be more when it's done well.

***"I really hope this comes to consoles"***

It's been confirmed for next year buddy

@Optimist

I agree, it plays just like a tabletop style dice based Role Playing Game, with the spoken narrative taking on the role of a traditional Dungeon Master.

Apparently the game was inspired by the traditional Infinity Engine tabletop RPG's, looking at the WIKI page I think they actually intend to turn it into one of these eventually.

Interesting,

Xbox are releasing almost as many first party titles in 2020 as they did in the three years between 2017 - 2019.
