It sounds like it, although in the end only Crackdown 3 MP made use of the tech and the campaign didn’t. 

Wasn’t this the same idea Crackdown 3 had? Offloading everything to “the cloud” is certainly one way to make DDoS attacks way more effective.

Don’t you dare besmirch the good name of Pete Holmes.

Given that the most disappointed I ever was on Christmas morning as a kid was when Dad had opened up and set up all the electronics and toys ahead of time:

Why is he running around the setting of a generic JRPG though?

Any time I see this, I always hope Deus Ex: Invisible War is on the list. It ran so badly on the original Xbox, I couldn’t finish it.

Give us Psy-Ops you cowards!!!

How does a remastered version of a 6th Gen game end up looking like a bad 5th gen game? 

I think the developers (a small team of 25) did an awesome job retexturing nearly the entire map in every game, but Rockstar/Take2 did not give them enough time/resources to do it right, or even finish the job.

This isn’t the fault of QA.  This is more likely the fault of executives saying “we need a product for Q4, release what you’ve got.”

Remembering when GTA3/Vice City bundle was released on the original Xbox, I think the only track missing in Vice City was Running With The Night.  Later on I read that Lionel Richie himself didn’t like his song being in Vice City and requested it be removed.

I’m annoyed that people are finding all of this cool shit and I’m still sitting here trying to make heads or tails of the atrocious map.

Pretty sure anything in the official Nintendo trailer for the game is free game for discussion.  

I was really annoyed that Kraid was spoiled in the official trailer...but Kraid was spoiled in the official trailer already.

Not everyone that works Kotaku will have the same take on games. People are allowed to have different opinions, even though they work for the same company.

Actually is pretty easy to explain the absence of Helicopter on GTA Chinatown Wars, if I’m not mistake that game doesn’t has Helicopters (thanks to the classic GTA perspective).

Helicopters are your nemesis in the game.

keep swinging bud you'll knock ONE of these jokes out of the park, surely

The Xbox Controller S that was originally created for the Japanese market and later brought over? At least the ones we got in North America were just the same dark green as the console unless you had a special edition.
