Hillarious, but also would probably seem a little desperate. I don’t think that Nintendo would think of it, and Microsoft probably wouldn’t want to seem like they’re following Sony.

Schtick < Readability

I wonder if they’ll ever let Jerry Lambert out of the doghouse. I think that a Kevin Butler moment would be pretty epic at E3 in any year.

They did indeed.

Disappointingly using nouveaux Pennywise design instead of classic Tim Curry era, but still pretty pants-shittingly well done.

Well to put in context, The Last of Us is probably still the best game on the system, but I had to really think about it when Horizon came out because it’s goddamn excellent.

Preach brother. My backlog had become so big, I had to stage a self intervention. I’ve adopted a practice that I don’t buy anything unless I’m actually going to drop everything and play it immediately. Waiting a month or more for “non priority” games has saved me a ridiculous amount of money and caused no interruption

At the same time, I’m still waiting for Crackdown 3 from when they first talked about it in 2014. Early announcements are the norm on consoles, usually when you have a light slate of games that are releasing imminently. The good news is that Sony and its third party partners have released a crapload of exclusives

The resolution upgrades are pretty significant on a 4K TV, and extra CPU power is only really useful if they were going to add PS4 Pro specific features that weren’t in the original game, alienating their base.

All told mid-step upgrades are unnecessary. Two years and we’re into a new generation, where you can

The problem was with Flying Tiger, the dev that they farmed out the port to. They have a history of doing slapdash ports. And frankly I think that having the money of Take Two behind it could turn it into a franchise with a lot more support and better optimization.

Give you a reasonable upgrade that doesn’t alienate your early adopters at a price less than $500 a year before your competitor’s offering?

Sony opted for a mid-step upgrade so they could release a better performing console at the same price as their current model prior to price drop, rather than shooting the moon on hardware and adding $200 to the ticket price while still having to carry the base Xbox One requirements around to hold it back. Two years is

Tell that to the console ports that still suffer save corruption, essentially have the same PC UI, and run like garbage.

Come on now. Dead Space 3 gets a lot of flak but honestly I didn’t find it as big a misstep as some people claim it is. Sure it wasn’t as good as the first two, but that doesn’t make it a bad game, just underlines how good the first two actually were. I think that after two encounters with necromorphs, Isaac Clarke is

Except hopefully good.

Some of the later ones had built in Alex Kidd but not the original release. Mine did get packed with Hang-on and Safari Hunt, with the light zapper though. I loved that system, back in the day.

Man, GameStop is getting really serious about their upselling. 

Don’t tell System Shock 3 that.

I think she was off doing a charity drive for the victims of the Bowling Green Massacre.
