for those that don't want to read the long blog: Ex-Microsoft employee exposes how the company rejects most nonviolent game pitches, and how it intentionally caters to "chimpboy", frat-bro gamers.

"Xbox put machismo, ultra-violence and chimpboys with backwards caps in the spotlight." This embodies exactly how I felt about Xbox360. The original Xbox occupied a space between PC and console, and it was at its worst arguably ...
Enslaved is such a bad game... The only good thing about it are the graphics and even then it's riddled with screen-tear everywhere and not to mention the laggy combat. Platforming was basically automatic so even the gameplay itself feels pointless.
even if you imagine that FF13 is not a FF game it still is a bad game. The corridors are still there, the monotonous battle system is still there, the mediocre story with a pep-talk at the end of every chapter are still there too! And to be honest... This game has nothing more going for it either. lol
those designs are outdated. You only like them because of nostalgia but they all are just as bad.
But in the video, the kids are like "WTF is this crap" and the adults are like "OOhh UUh OMG amazing!". lol
To me it was a disappointment because I know from the bottom of my heart that no PS4 game will never look as good as that. ;(
always looking for a scapegoat are't we?
yeah, when it comes to the CPU part the increase in performance is very little, the real boost comes from the 4600 HD chip but if you're a PC gamer then you'll probably be using a discrete card so there is no reason to upgrade. It's pointless.

what's done is done. All there is left if for them to finally announce the console and clarify things if there's anything to be clarified.
these bastards are going to launch haswell with a bug on the motherboard so I wouldn't buy from the first batch. Another thing is that this upgrade is only beneficial to those that will buy laptops and run them with the integrated card because of the increased 3D capabilities for games and battery life. For PC gamers this upgrade is pointless.
for the sales to pick up the system will need more games. It's kind of a redundant contradiction.
it never been like that and never will be.
indeed.

PS4 does not require an always online connection to play games... It's OPTIONAL not FORCED.
let's just give developers the space to make the games however they want.
can they even do 60 frames on UE3? Because even DmC was 30 frames... I think it's just hard for developers to achieve that frame-rate with that Engine in particular.
the sad thing are the people that agree with Cliffy and continue the joke. It seems more than half of the population in this planet either don't have a brain or maybe they just don't have any sympathy toward the neighbor.
it seems that way.
I bought this game for 3 bucks, played it for 10 minutes and got bored. =/
with M$ requiring an always online access, Nintendo's lack of 3rd party suppoer and Sony not providing BC not even with digital tittles? Things are getting ridiculous when trying to chose a console.
And from Sony I can understand the PS4 not having BC with PS3 games but not even with the PS1 and PS2 classics we bought off the PSN like Persona 3 or Suikoden? I mean, there are emulators on the PC made by fans and for free than can run games while looking better than HD Coll...
PC has different architecture to the Snes, Saturn, Neo-Geo, PS2 and it can emulate them all on lower specs than the PS4. And you an be sure that the in a couple of years the PS3 will be emulated too on an emulator made by a bunch of amateur programmers.
This not emulation stuff is just an excuse for Sony to sell the same old games again on the PS4.
