That's still every bit Gearbox's fault. They promoted the game with false footage, they didn't tell anyone that TimeGate were involved and lead us to believe that Gearbox - the guys behind Borderlands - were behind Aliens. People bought it on the strength of those credentials, and the false trailers and gameplay…

Adding to your closing point, Sony also seem poised to launch first, and if they continue to provide free online multiplayer and a subscription that provides access to free games (rather than holding should-be-standard services for ransom) whilst Microsoft continue to charge for multiplayer and YouTube access, then,…

Goddamnit Anita, you totally spoiled the ending of NSMBWii for me. I've been on the last world for a while and I've been desperate to know how it ends, but there you go, including the ending in your video. Spoiler warnings, have you never heard of them?! I had NO IDEA that Mario would just save Peach like that, no…

Absolutely, that sounds like a fair request! I don't expect (or even want, really) every game to suddenly advance in mind blowing ways, graphically, I just want them to reach a new standard. The best games of today, become the standard games of tomorrow, leaving room for the most ambitious developers to push further.…

Absolutely, they can really make the hardware sing. If most developers can get their next-gen titles looking like The Last of Us or God of War Ascension, running at 1080p and possibly 60fps, then we're golden. Games don't need to look much better than that. Studios like Naughty Dog and Santa Monica will always push to…

Whilst a game like God of War may not necessarily need the PS4, other games certainly do. Games like inFamous, GTA and Assassin's Creed will noticably benefit, as their worlds will be much more realistically populated, doing away with the awful draw distance and ensuing pop-in that we currently have to suffer.

Agreed. We don't always need change.

I wouldn't be surprised if we saw that one at E3, that one would certainly grab some headlines amongst all the news of Nintendo's next six Mario games and whatever Microsoft is cooking!

For me, the answer is quite simple here. It's not about God of War, it's about games in general. The likes of Naughty Dog, Guerrilla and Santa Monica have always delivered finer looking games than most other multi-platform developers, because they really seem to have the "key" to the hardware. Their games are always…

The price shouldn't be quite so bad this time around. The PS3 was only so expensive because Blu-Ray was still insanely expensive at the time, and the launch models had PS2 hardware built in for backwards compatibility, and both of these just boosted the price. The PS4 shouldn't have the same issues because its…

I'm quite keen, but it's definitely not going to get much hype compared to its peers. Watch Dogs and Killzone stole the show as far as live gameplay goes, and the promise of more inFamous (despite the lack of gameplay) is pretty big news too. Knack seemed interesting, but amongst those other big names, it just wasn't…

From the company that released Final Fantasy: All The Bravest?

I can't really see that happening. Chances are, the people interested in the Steam Box already have a great PC that they've invested a lot of money into, and a lot of them will already use Big Picture mode, a huge TV and a controller for that "PC console" region that Valve seems to targeting with the Steam Box.

Their efforts to redeem FFXIV are admirable, and now it's finally looking great, but let's be honest, it launched as a steaming pile of shit that did nothing but taint the Final Fantasy name.

Oh, Sloshy. He and Ueziel are definitely the two most steadfast supporters of XIII that I've seen here on Kotaku. Sloshy's not wrong really, when you view XIII as its own game, without the expectations that come with the title "Final Fantasy", it's really not that bad. It's a really pretty, but decidedly mediocre…

Haha, you're not wrong. I remember them, but it's getting difficult. I really haven't heard some of those names for years and didn't realise they were still around at all. I definitely missed EVE Online, like a few mentioned, that one just slipped my mind entirely at the time I posted my comment, but the others? I…

Hardly surprising. Demand has always been high for the Vita, but the price has just held people back, and that in turn pushed developers away, which just turned more customers away. A price drop is what the Vita's needed all along, and hopefully this isn't turnaround will convince Sony to drop the price across the…

Well, okay, five years, then.

I don't think any apology is necessary, you handled the situation just fine. By all means post the tips, let people speculate, we like to speculate! We don't demand that you instantly tell us the truth on any given rumour or leak, because we know it's not in your hands. Post the tips, speculate, let us hear your…

FFXI was the one and only MMO that ever interested me, and it just would be the only MMO other than WoW to retain its subscription for a decade, wouldn't it? While every other MMO rise and fell to the realm of F2P, FFXI did not. My PC wouldn't do it any justice either, it's fine for music production and whatnot but…
