Only one of the solutions shown (the last one) was actually under a second. ;p

I don't know. Dream job? I get the vibe like it'd be getting excited over landing a LucasArts job in 2011. They made some beloved games, too, right? For me, "dream job" would have to include something I think everyone would tick off as essential: job security.

I understand how they intend it to work. My point is that it is highly dubious. Or, perhaps more specifically, it is incontrovertibly inferior to the existing standard when it comes to the functionality of four individual buttons. But of course that wasn't the point; the point was firstly to be symmetrical and…

Not really sure if you're being serious or not. It should go very much without saying that those, shall we generously say, surrogate buttons are no replacement for true depressible buttons. Valve has real buttons on the controller but they're all positioned with perfect symmetry down the middle because that was the…

Tell you what, Valve. Make one with four traditionally-positioned buttons where the right-hand thumb goes, and I may be willing to try your non-joystick out. Sure, it won't be nice and symmetrical, but you'll be halfway there, and as a nice bonus, you'll be able to ditch those eyesore triangle buttons which make me…

"F" loses for a couple of reasons. The body is correct but the eyes lean towards tsurime and the hair is spiky. These aren't quite nitpicks; they're giveaways to her intended personality. If I'm going to be allowed any input on the matter, I'd rather go with the more tareme look of "I". (Or "B", or even "H".)

Eh, but at the same time, Inafune went out of his way to point out that the project is being assembled with input from the fans (a direct answer to my question - the only question he got that evening that challenged him on any of his plans). Plus.. most of the 9 models shown have obvious "human" characteristics,…

Oh it counts, my friend. Because it was the better game. ;p But yeah, your point stands. I acknowledge that it's more like a great big DLC or fan mod than a proper next game. But I think most people would regard it as the most recent Fallout.

This is somewhat important to me, as a onetime Roll player (MVC2). Given a choice, I'd disqualify or at least disfavor models with pointy hair. That said, my impressions of the choices:

That one guy is right. The controller is awful and won't work. The reason they made it is because you can already use a 360 controller on whatever you want, and a proper control pad would just be a ripoff of the 360 controller like Nintendo's.

Well, a few things to comment on, then. First, by the time a new Fallout game comes out, it'll have been a solid 5 years (or more) since the last one. Plenty of time to invent an equally good next game.

I liked both Dragon Age games well enough (even though #2 was a deplorable copy-&-paste mess), but come on. Fallout:NV may well be my favorite game of all time. It's the only Steam game I ever bought, and that was after thoroughly playing it on 360. The next game isn't even being strongly rumored about yet. It's…

Uh-huh. Blame Lucas for 1313's demise.

Nah, don't get Obsidian. Because I want them to get cracking on Fallout 4 ASAP.

You, my friend, win points for not using "different than" or "different to". Though I suppose an article which specifically addresses grammar would be high on the proofreading agenda. ;p

The guy they got to voice Kirk sounds pretty close. Time to hunt up the Japanese dub.

As expected, the final stretch goal will be the co-op mode. So officially no next-gen versions, though I definitely expect at least a PS4 iteration. Point being that they shouldn't have put said goal behind a $500k+ barrier. I mean, really? Were they going to make improvements for next-gen? (And not include those…

Yeah, you guys did an article on this game a while back and I found it interesting then, and still find it interesting now. Just not liking the framerate dips. Youtube doesn't make it easy to judge, but it seems clear that 60fps is being missed regularly, which on Youtube translates to 30fps being missed regularly,…

While I played Amalur, liked it well enough at the time, and got all the achievements... it really was a bore, and I barely remember it today. Main thing I remember is really not liking the loot system. Bears (and everything else) that drop gold. When the devs don't care about legitimacy, why should I care about…

This abomination exists probably because you can already use four 360 controllers on PC with no fuss. But it is pretty rough that Valve failed to realize just how deflating this reveal would be to their entire SteamOS enterprise.
