Ah, trophies. Making easily-susceptible gamers play awful games since 2005.
Unlikely. While most PC games have been digital-only for years, and many games on current generations have also gone digital-only, it's highly unlikely a high-profile release like Grand Theft Auto will ever be digital-only.
Just look at the PC market.
100% of PC games are delivered to gamers via digital distribution services... but at the same time, you can walk in to your local electronics store and pick up a boxed copy of any of the high-profile games l...
Earning a living?
What in God's name makes you think clasically-trained musicians, or any other kind of musician for that matter, have steady employment?
I can't imagine any game being able to repair the damage done.
I'm sorry, but you're not in Mass Effect's key demographic.
Yes. Halo 3. Biggest marketing campaign in gaming history. Microsoft spent more than $40,000,000 USD.

EDIT:
To put that (somewhat) in perspective, to date Halo 3 has sold just under 12 million copies.
Not really. The only people that really care about shifting mechanics are the original audience. People who are new to the series don't care at all because, not having played the earlier games, they have no frame of reference--whether it's true to what the fans want or not has no relevance.
This is why it's always a good idea to listen to your core consumers. They're the ones who will increase sales of a good game by applauding it; they're the ones who wil...
@SoulSercher: That's about what I expected. I've only had time to sink maybe 2 hours into the game (too busy with real life... and Gundam Breaker....) but even that was enough to impress me. Easily the best-done HD port I've seen so far, narrowly inching out Okami.
Or, rather: isn't it an arcade port of a console port of an arcade game?
GVG is, and always has been, so goddamned convoluted. Remember when games used to have numbers?
@Lopez: the PS3 can play PS2 games, just not very many of them. Digital PS2 classics are a thing that exist on the Playstation 3; they are also a thing that will NOT exist on the Playstation 4.
My experience with Japanese sites is that they are... very frequently wrong.
What was the site, out of curiousity? I checked 4gamer a while ago, but didn't see anything specific.
Well, have you played the HD port yet? 'Cause we've had some real stinkers.
Sure, KH1.5 isn't one of 'em--for once, it seems Square-Enix really went all out and did a bang-up job--but until a day or two ago, it could well have been as plagued with technical issues as Zone of the Enders or--worse--the Jak & Daxter Vita collection.
It's called hitbaiting.
In addition to advising fellow users not to click, please also advise them to downvote the source.
*shrug* It happens. It happens every time a story goes from writer A to writer B. And it's not like Fallout 3 did a complete 180 on all of the principal themes of the original setting, as was the case with Mass Effect 3.
...
@Mr Tretton: actually, among fans (i.e. the non-casuals) the lore of the Fallout games and Elder Scrolls games is one of the absolutely biggest attractions. It's easily in the top three, next to customization and exploration.
Not gonna happen. We're going to see Gamebryo for the first few Beth. games on PS4/XB3 for certain. Remember, the Gamebryo engine can actually do quite a lot--just look at the huge amount of detail that was in Oblivion, that was later removed from Fallout, New Vegas and Skyrim due to hardware limitations.
Hell, I'll even give you an example: chains.
In oblivion, every link in a chain is fully modeled in 3D. Each link in the chain has physics applied t...
Bethesda can't make anything "Game of the Year." Bethesda + an army of modders can come pretty damn close, though.
Really wish they'd stick with TES, though. They do a lot better in a fantasy setting than in a sci-fi setting. I'd suggest they toss the Fallout franchise to Obsidian, but they've already moved on to bigger and better things....
Gotta love how mistranslations give us conflicting information.
Dualshockers says "over 200 songs... have been added," whereas Siliconera says there are about 200 songs, total (which is the same amount of music in the first game).
So, either it will have the same amount of content as the first game--which will mean missing tracks at worst, or a re-release of the original game with all DLC included at best--or have TWICE as much music as the original...
Their profile is only diminished in the West, due primarily to the fact that Western gaming media focuses--almost exclusively--on Sony and Microsoft's home consoles.
I mean, hell, the Playstation Vita, for all its woes, has an unheard-of number of high-quality RPGs for a platform in its first year.
And space sims are a dead genre. Dead as a doornail. Right next to the Space RTS, Western Mech Combat, and the Isometric RTS.
Hopefully crowdf...
Really looking forward to this after KH1.5. As much as I'm unaccustomed to saying anything positive about Square-Enix, they did a really impressive job on the HD port (or "remake," if you're a Nintendo fanboy). Well, even if the whole LE thing was/is an atrociously ugly affront to my sensibilities.
I've never seen anyone complaining about a lack of achievements from Nintendo.
I mean, seriously?
It's a lack of a unified ACCOUNT system that people are complaining about.
