Your opinion. The only increase had been in graphics and not very much at that, there was a bigger difference from PS1 to PS2, from PS2 to PS3... than there is remotely from PS3 to PS4.

I told you. The entire core. The idea that there isn’t much of an upgrade, that games like Arkham Knight could “easily” be downgraded, that it’s in a company’s best interests to spend money developing subpar products that probably won’t move enough units to make up for the costs of porting it to an EOL platform.…

“...hell even the Final Fantasy 7 Remake would feasibly be possible on the PS3 and X360...”

I think this is where I stopped shaking my head and started just laughing. The entire core of your argument is incorrect.

Your culture is hideously accepting of rape. So is ours. Both deserve to be viciously criticized. Don’t pretend like our evils excuse yours.

It’s quite good. A little short, but worth playing, especially for free.

We know that the MGS composer has said multiple times that he is salaried, and recieves no royalties whatsoever. The severance idea is very possible, though.

No, not really. By most of the world. Particularly, anyone and everyone who isn’t a pedant.

If you want an actual debate on the subject, reply to RyRyBeardGuy and DrWinkles. They’ve both posted good arguments, and your lack of replies to them is rather telling.

More commonly, and quite fairly, known as “Americans”.

I’d rather have both. Sell the game for free with the stamina system, and give it, say, a $20-30 in-app purchase that gives you infinite stamina for life. Every consumer wins. But it won’t ever be implemented, because it would mean the companies can’t take advantage of addicts anymore.

It is on the Disney Channel, but it’s one of those shows like Adventure Time that’s aimed at kids, but packs in humor and references specifically for the adults. I recommend watching a couple episodes, just to see if you like it.

Over the Garden Wall, Venture Bros, Gravity Falls, Archer. Ordered from most amazing to really amazing.

“God commends that you do not edit, critique, proof read or revise His words”, she says as she puts words in his mouth. I love it.

Rika Muranaka, the composer for MGS 1-3, mentioned it on the Metal Gear Central podcast when she was asked her theory about why the split is happening. That doesn’t really surprise me. Most big developers in the US don’t get royalties, and I’d imagine it’s even less common in Japan’s corporate culture. Her theory also…

Developers aren’t legally entitled to any substantial cut, unless they’re lucky enough to have it in their contract. Kojima himself is purely salaried, and doesn’t get any royalties from the games he directs. I highly doubt the rank and file of KojiPro are better off.

I have, for various reasons. Most of those reasons will be destroyed by Steam Link. The only one I can think of that will survive is that I sometimes buy games on multiple systems specifically because I want to give the devs more money. I own Shovel Knight on four different systems, and I very happily payed full price…

Here’s an alternative: game gets delayed, but devs are honest about the fact that it might happen and that no timeline is set yet when asked. Some people bitch and cry. Other people defend the devs, since they’re just doing their job as best they can.

Wait a bit and buy it used. You get your game, Konami doesn’t get your money, and the devs get paid the same regardless.

Well, Arkham Knight and Wither 3 are all capstones to wildly popular trilogies, while Mad Max is unproven in the video game industry. I wouldn’t blame Warner Bros for being wary about doing a huge blitz for it, especially in the middle of the Arkham Knight fiasco. If they’re still dead silent around mid-August, I’ll…

I think the second one is Arthas from Warcraft/WoW, and the 4th is giving me Dead Space vibes. Not sure about either one, though.

I’m really curious about the consoles. #1 is an OUYA, so Master Chief obviously makes sense there. #3 is an XBone, and #4 appears to be some random PC. But I have no idea what the hell I’m…

Azure Gunvolt was developed & published by Inti Creates (a.k.a. the developers of Mega Man 9, Mega Man 10, the whole Zero series, and tons of other great stuff). Inafune was brought on partway through Gunvolt’s development as an “action director”, but Comcept itself wasn’t involved.
