"Thatgamecompany are combining Call of Juarez with Call of Juarez. The twist? It's DLC Only"

"Sega are combining Forza with Kung-Fu. The twist? It's controlled using 'virtual dildonics'"

Even by the low standards of internet backpedalling, this is very poor.

Jerry Lewis would not enjoy Julia Davis's "Nighty Night", BBC, but you might:

Yeah I really should have done that earlier in the cycle. The trouble was, if it was a choice between buying games and buying hardware and games, Steam won every time. Plus, I didn't have enough time to play to justify buying an extra piece of hardware. The friends I would have wanted to join online all had X360s, too.

I am praying for XBox One to embrace pretty games. I had assumed I'd have to buy a PS4 to play cute games, artistic games and games with heart. Now the XBox One is making me really want that machine in my house, but the only games they're showing so far are the usual blend of "Epic Srs", "Sports", "Cars" and "USA War".

I agree. I think, though, that it's partly to keep it as a reference to A&F's advertising; one of the models has to look like the status quo A&F ad, otherwise only the photography and posing could get that message across (and the connections might not be strong enough on their own, because A&F is in such a tight…

I guess it comes across as weird to me because I don't understand why anyone needs to decide if an actor, especially one in a supporting role, is an angel or a devil: why they need to decide if Gwyneth Paltrow is a complete asshole, or Angelina Jolie is a hateful automaton, or if we're actually doing a 180 on Jolie…

Remember when Samwell found them, though? There was a whole collection of them under the rocks. Nobody else was interested. Presumably he's got plenty of them, and besides, they can find more obsidian.

The important thing was the obsidian. He found a whole stash of those knives, which nobody else was interested in because it's an age of steel, and as you've seen the metal blades are virtually useless. That's why it doesn't matter that he dropped the knife and ran; he's got a bag full of them.

Yeah, I was laughing mirthlessly throughout AC3. It is an anti-game.

Yes. Also less thematic passwords, such as "DISSECT".

I would argue that Ubisoft tries too hard to create new features which often weaken the game. They gave us bombs (and how much more fun could they have been if we had to learn how to adjust our aim and predict bounces, instead of seeing a glowing path telling us the exact outcome?) and Den Defence in ACR, both of…

You sound a bit defensive!

Sure, you're always going to see people pushing for more, but focussing on polygons alone is a relic from over a decade ago - before the games industry took the idea of normal maps seriously. Now we've got parallax mapping and tesselation.

We have a lot of hubris about how advanced we are and how prudish our great-grandparents must have been.

That's a really outdated way to look at graphical power. It's not been about polycounts for a long time.

It's the Killzone 3 character, but in the PS4 Killzone's engine so it looks significantly better.
