That has been going on for a lot longer than Watch_Dogs. It was also a big deal with Far Cry 3. I’m sure there are notable examples prior to Far Cry 3 as well. The point is, this isn’t a new phenomena.

Because Youtube’s compression algorithm makes it unclear if Super Mario Sunshine looks better than Super Mario 64?

Something about that image reminds me of Silly Putty.

Ready at Dawn is more like second party - develops almost exclusively for Sony consoles. AFAIK, Okami is the only non-Sony game they’ve done.

Not really, although I guess using the mouse (wiimote) to draw is kind of novel. Interestingly enough, Capcom Japan refused to give Ready at Dawn the source code, so the game had to be reverse engineered.

About the same amount of the article I’d cut off. Superfluous and self-indulgent, it is a victim of its time, where everyone seems to think that their shared anecdote is deep, insightful, and wholly unique. In reality, it is lucky to be one of the three; this one falls short in all three criteria.

That one was featured last week, IIRC.

But Sunday is date night. You know, dinner, cheap wine, Redbox movie, and going anal.

Film and TV have been required to have subtitles for the longest time. Isn’t it strange that video games have a tendency to half-ass it, if they bother including captions at all?

I just can’t stop thinking about how strange Pikachu looks.

Literally the only time I opened the Youtube app was to gain access to the homebrew launcher and install a secondary entrypoint.

I doubt it. The book version paints him as looking really monstrous. Dinklage, at his worst, is panty-dropping and tidal-flood inducing by comparison.

Memers gonna meme.

“Sony Computer Entertainment America would like to express our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused you.”

I don’t think anyone with a Vita is under the illusion that they’re a huge market force. More like they’re pissed that they supported the games that were released in their region and got spat at afterwards.

Boo! Vita or bust!

If by “good reason” you mean “stupid.” If this is honestly what pushes someone to make the leap then I don’t know what to say.

Champion Edition was a really great reboot for the series; I’m glad Namco did another one.

FF8 had a damn good soundtrack - one of the best in the series.

The Ultimate Ninja Storm games are consistently good. They’re not going to win any sort of award, but they’re easily some of the best anime games I’ve played.
