It also protects the little guy from getting viciously fucked by major publishers. With out IP protection, I imagine the indie scene would be non-existant.

If it was easy to develop for the larger market, than you'd think they would have by now wouldn't they? There isn't an easy way to do this. You have to test on each device you plan to support, and then optimize / fix your app to accommodate. Even if you focus only on high-end Android hardware, you're still looking at…

I thought they removed the backwards compatibility when they removed the "other OS" function. I honestly don't remember though.

It's a game that once you really understand the mechanics, the depth of play becomes clear. There's a point where all the fiddly bits and accounting become second nature, and all you have left to ponder is strategy, and that's why it's so well regarded. Mind you, I'd rather the game take up less space and track all…

Dominon has a half decent web browser port, but you have to pay money for any of the expansions, and setting up a game with your friends isn't the easiest thing in the world.

Fragmentation is one of the major causes for iOS games never making it to our splendid Android devices. It's not just porting it from one platform to another, it's porting it from one platform, where you're developing for maybe one or two sets of hardware / software to dozens of hardware / software combinations. The…

Yeah, a lot happens on the Football pitch very quickly, it's just hard to understand how much unless you have a decent understanding of the sport. Which can be said for any major sport played professionally. Except for Baseball. Nothing happens in baseball.

When you grow up watching Hockey, it's hard to get into Football. Hockey is such a fast, intense and physical sport, that watching pretty much any other team sport is almost... annoying.

It's all about games. You have the right exclusives, you will sell consoles. If Microsoft has the killer game for the next generation, everyone will buy the XBONE. Hell, Halo was/is the only reason Microsoft is even still around in the console wars. Pretty much anyone who bought an original Xbox bought it for Halo.

I think you're taking this a little too seriously. It's a dumb joke, but the whole smooth jazz thing is a dumb joke. The joke here is that his name is pronounced Yazz Boatman, instead of Jazz. By not actually pronouncing the J, it seems more like a person's name.

You know nothing.

I guess he likes Nintendo games. Nothing wrong with that.

I think everyone should just take a breath here and step back for a moment. A highly anticipated game has resurfaced with stunning footage.

I honestly haven't seen Modern Warfare's influence on Battlefield, apart from them adding a full single player experience to the game. I never tried Medal of Honor, but yeah I can definitely see the COD comparisons there.

I actually completely disagree. They're very different experiences. In fact DICE did the modern setting before Infinity Ward did.

Like someone said, thats for the sequel. You need to realize though that that's not 45 developers on the game. There's probably plenty of support staff that inflate those numbers. Not to mention that if the employee turnover is as bad as described, it's probably fluctuating constantly.

I think you're over-estimating the level that the typical CoD gamer will care. This game is going to have to be a good game in it's own right to move a large number of units. The truth is, the people who care about CoD, are also the type of people who care that it's called Call of Duty. They're brand loyal people for…

I think it's completely reasonable to expect people not to spoil a massive event in a TV show, even if the source material is from a book. Sure, it originally "happened" over a decade ago, but it's not cool to spoil things like that for anyone. Hell, what if the TV show hadn't been made? It still wouldn't be cool to…

Not really swappable actually. When you're hardware is black, you're making it appear more exclusive, or classy. Like the marketing jumbo says up there it blends into the background. Microsoft wants you to pay attention to what's on screen, not what's plugged into your screen. White on the other hand is super modern…
