Because, unlike English... Japanese isn't the most widely used language in the world. However, chances are your train station accommodates tourists and foreigners who most often use it. Like how it's not rare in the US for many places that are frequented by Hispanic or French tourists to have Spanish or French options…

Considering English is the most widely spread language in the world? People ~should~ speak English there. Plenty of countries that have a healthy tourist economy (like Japan does) also accommodate foreign language speakers by having bilingual staff. Whether it's Spanish or French in the US and Canada, or English…

I said Wii, not Wii U.

It's selling faster than the Wii did apparently. That had reached 5.8m sold by its 4th month, this is at 5.3 in under 3 months (11/15-02/08).

In Japan? Possibly. In the west? FUCK NO.

Errr, no. Actually, since 720x576, 704x576 is PAL SD. Modern day usage for HD content is based on ATSC, DVB-T and ISDB broadcast and display standards of 1280x720 and 1920x1080. And up until recently, when display manufacturers started attaching non-standard resolutions to the HD moniker (qHD), anything below…

Um, you're joking right? The Navajo section in Beyond was a sad, stereotypical joke about Native Americans, and it doesn't help that the only black character in a Cage game that isn't some caricature of its race is Kadeem Hardison's Cole. A character I suspect wasn't initially meant to be black (though this is just an…

Nah, it's upscaling. Your TV isn't lying, and technically neither is the box. But there's a difference between an upscaled image and a native one. Look at it this way: Watch a DVD on your PS3 and then watch a Blu-Ray of that same movie/TV show... It's not going to look the same. Why? Because while your PS3 upscales…

Tons of third party titles developed for multiple platforms tend to be developed using OpenGL/DirectX (not necessarily windows per-se). That doesn't mean they'll be released on the PC (see: Red Dead Redemption; to a lesser extent every PC port released months/years later on PC).

MGS4's native resolution was 1024x768, sub-HD as well. In fact, I think the only "Metal Gear" game on PS3 that ran at 720p or above native (HD collection aside) is Rising.

Initially? Most likely. But this is Nintendo, Nintendo penny-pinches the most out of the 3, so I doubt the investment was a significant loss. Not to mention, in the long-run, using proprietary versions of existing optical formats means Nintendo still has the majority control of their disc printing, and I believe that…

Licensing fees and royalties, also Nintendo got real buddy-buddy with Panasonic/Matsushita by the time GC came about, so they had a good resource for optical media and could skirt around paying Sony and others fees for standard CD/DVD/Blu-Ray discs and lasers.

Mark Hamill will forever be awesome, seriously... Not because of Luke or even the Joker, he's just... Awesome.

Noooo! My Waifu!

I think it's fund rate is at like $40k per-day, so it'll likely make it to its goal... But no stretch goals = :/

SOE is for the most part its own subsidiary, despite being (co)owned by SCE (and Sony Pictures), SOE is mostly left to its own devices and are Sony's only real dedicated PC game development branch.

You'll actually like this one if you like JRPGs. I'm not an MMO guy, but I really enjoyed the FFXIV PS3 beta.

Nintendo: Advocating baseball bat beatings since 1889.

Is it EA's new Dungeon Keeper? I bet it is!
