This article is both true and not. Factually, I don't doubt that it's all true, but having worked in games myself, in both Contract QA and as a FT paid Designer, I can tell you that it really depends on the studio you work for and their budget.

That did look like it was IN game, but that is not what I would call "gameplay footage", since it did not give any indication of actual gameplay components. Is the game shooting based? Exploration? Platforming? Do you have a health bar / UI? Can you control time/dimensions in some capacity? What are the relevant…

Because they didn't show anything. A cutscene of a boat smashing into a bridge and a dude standing amid wreckage of some kind. No gameplay, nothing. It was barely even a "teaser"

Did you hear that guys and gals? We're "salivating" over this thing.

This thing will bomb even harder in Japan than the Xbox or 360 did, and here's why: this thing is identical to the PS4 in many areas, notably hardware. Lacking any form of hardware differentiation, the only thing that will stand out are the system exclusives, since virtually all 3rd party games will be cross platform…

A giant black box that plays video games and Blu Ray.

So? Every game they have will also be on the PS4. The ONLY games they'll have that won't be on the PS4 will be: Halo, Forza, Gears, and Fable. And whatever timed DLC they buy the rights to for 1-2 months.

The best part? If you have DVR service, your cable company has probably already given you a DVR with 2-3x as much storage as the Xbox.

I would hardly call her video "patronizing" or "im smarter than you" - you perceive it as such because you feel that you're being talked down to, but that doesn't mean she is actually talking down to people. The entire point of the video is to illustrate examples of a scenario and discuss it, which is what she did,…

I'm totally in love with XSeed after they published the Ys games on Steam. I was already a fan for them bringing over the PSP Ys games that it looked like might never make it, but last year when they released a pair of 5+ year old PC (!!!) JRPG ultra-niche titles, I just about keeled over with happiness. Never in my…

Herve, the hostility is thus: you claim that you've cleaned up the financial mess that Interplay was in, but you have so little money left that you're asking for money just to fund a prototype. Plus, you're literally trading on the only IP you have left, which is a studio name, not even a brand name, and virtually…

OMG! There's more to enjoyment of a game than framerate and nitpicky little graphical differences! SHOCKING!

Resonance of Fate, for showing me that it is possible to create an immensely robust battle system with long battles but still make them incredibly fun and strategic to play. The game had lots of other flaws, but damn if every single combat encounter in it wasn't a blast!

Also, how the hell is this thing even "gaming dedicated"? Because they said so? The only way I would ever classify a system as "gaming dedicated" would be if it had buttons, otherwise it's no different from every Android phone/tablet on the market, so unless all of those are also "gaming dedicated" then this thing…

Yeah this is nowhere close to being the "first" Android portable gaming system.

Quit watching Fox News so much, and go do some *actual* research. Your entire paragraph is full of inaccuracies and GOP talking points of spurious quality. I don't have the time or the energy to break down all the ways you're wrong here, but you are.

Googling the answer to a puzzle in Layton seems to defeat the entire purpose of the game, and the hint coins usually make it pretty easy to solve by the 3rd one.

Couldn't it also be said that casting a person who is visibly of a minority race (Indian, Chinese) in America also be just as bad? I mean, here you have Tony Stark, the rich white guy, and the bad guy is already something of a racial stereotype, so doesn't it lessen the offense to cast someone like Kingsley rather…

Man I would love one of these things. I'm far too poor to afford a "luxury" item like this, since I can technically buy something as powerful for half the price, but the form factor and portability and aesthetics make me want one so bad. I don't care if it's the not the "most" powerful gaming laptop around, I much…

Also no, many 360s are actually made in plants in Mexico, not China. I'm not sure if that's just assembly from parts that are fabbed in China, but I know that there are definitely a decent amount of them that Hecho en Mexico.
