I think he has already proven he is more than a flash in the pan. Defenses have keyed to stop him in the last 2-3 games and he has still taken it to them. I don't think he will end up being a career 25 (or even 20) point scorer, but if he limits his turnovers I think you can get a guy that will give you 15 points 8…

I was actually fairly surprised by this as well. While he does turn the ball over too much that is to be expected of young point guards in an offense where he is required to handle the ball that much. Comparing him to John Wall last year he has shown himself to be the better scorer so there is no reason he doesn't…

Honestly that is a great thing for PC gaming. One of the biggest hurdles to the hobby is the fact that there is a base level of knowledge required to get in and stay in. For someone who isn't computer savvy their options for when their hardware became obsolete was to pay someone else to perform the upgrade or buy a…

MMOs take massive budgets to make one of any quality. If I am going to invest that much money into a project that could be dead within a few short months after release I am not going to be willing to be all that risky when it comes to changing the formula. I am better off grabbing a well known IP (SWTOR) or going…

MMOFPS games exist. Planetside comes to mind.

It's great because he didn't say, "I have money. I like games. I will start my own studio and make my own game." Instead he said, "I have money. I like games. I have some cool ideas for a game. I will hire and bring together a team of experienced and talented people to make my vision a reality."

I think 38 Studios will end up being really successful for one major reason: Schilling knows his place. A lot of people (many Kotaku commenters included) think we could make an awesome game because we play so many, but in reality many of us don't know the first thing about game development, and those that do are still…

To answer your question: Outsource the development to another studio (like Treyarch) and have them create your FPS deathmatch mode. Multiplayer is done.

I guess we should expect to see some post-quest DLC then.

I love the way the "I'll tell you when I need it" sounded in my mind. I envisioned a moment in the future when he is sitting at a computer screen trying to stop a nuke from launching and realizes the abort code is hidden in Lost Planet.

I have never had a problem getting my stuff back from my friends. It really comes down to who you lend it to. I had a good friend who would simply take the game out of the 360, put the disc on top of the console and then put in the next game. There was almost always a pile of 5-7 discs sitting on top of the console. I…

They will likely announce their new hardware at E3 this year if they want a 2013 date. However, the rumors have been swirling that neither Sony or Microsoft are ready to release new systems until 2014 so who knows.

Hell their stock dropped when the rumor of his retirement started getting around. That was part of the reason Nintendo was so quick to comment on the rumor.

It isn't really over though, as evidenced by the Vita game.

I was actually quite glad Uncharted 3 didn't end with a stupid boss fight (like UC2). A boss fight to end an Uncharted game really just feels out of place, the rest of the game is based on set pieces and simple encounters and then Uncharted 2 decided that there needed to be a final confrontation, had some massive cop…

Mobile and tablet gamers aren't the type of person who will buy a Vita. They were grabbed by Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja, Plants vs. Zombies, Cut the Rope and so on. They aren't going to shell out another $250 for another device, especially when the $30-40 games on it aren't the same style of games they want to play.

I haven't heard of anyone being banned from a service to the point that they can't access their content or buy more. Multiplayer bans are common but I have never read a horror story about Microsoft banning someone from spending money on their service.

Digital distribution is important for a few things but I still prefer physical media for the major game releases.

That lowered 3DS price won't matter in 6 months to a year. Eventually they will get the hardware revisions so that the system breaks even or profits at $169, it happens with every other console. Nintendo has simply always attempted to sell its consoles at the break even price (or better) from the start. They really…

From what I can remember from 8 (and possibly 7) stars were only stolen after mini-game duels so it gave you the opportunity to keep your stuff. You want to avoid star theft then win the duel game.
