I wouldn’t say nationalistic, just a culture that doesn’t walk around visibly aroused at the idea of having guns in everything like in the US.

Sometimes right talent needs to be added to right place, right time. Like Bill Gates had programming talents, but was also from an affluent family and was afforded access to computers to hone his skills. Sometimes you are just crapped out into the world in a situation where talent doesn’t matter (see Trump, Donald).…

The MTV Movie Awards have more of a legitimacy than The Game Awards. In the same way Keighley has started to try to undercut E3 with Summer Game Fest right before E3, perhaps E3 or another organization should make a legit awards show.  If you want to debut a trailer for a Star Wars game that won’t be out for four…

It’ll never cease to amaze me how much an entire industry was upended on a whim and having the right people in the right place at the right time. I think video games would’ve made a comeback in terms of “hey remember Atari, that was fun, let’s try that again.” But aside from the influence of Mario and Zelda, does Sony…

I have a big backlog of VR, but I’ll try your trick when i dive into RE4. I’ve found a good variety of games that remove me from 1st person (Moss-type games) or with good teleporting.

I wonder if that is a motion sickness thing. I’m prone to it in games where my body’s motion doesn’t match the screen so if I’m walking around a room in Vader Immortal, I’m fine. If I’m climbing a ladder in the game while not doing it in real life, it gets shaky.

That’s different. You’ve never loved anyone as much as Keighley loves Kojima. It’s beyond anything you might have felt for a partner, a child, your parents. Unless you know Kojima the way Keighley tells us he knows Kojima (every chance he gets), you can’t understand why he would burn his credibility that way.

And if we’re being honest, the vast majority of PS+ games aren’t great. Xbox will have stuff like Forza on theirs. It’s been months since something truly great has been on Sony’s service (Control).

I’m betting it works fine because the stories of input lag are overblown. It’s worse than playing with a wired controller on a CRT TV, sure, but if not for YouTube videos showing it, only people who regularly play N64 on a CRT TV would notice much of a difference.

The audience of gamers who want something more powerful than a Switch and who cannot wait a year or so for a hardware upgrade, who want to play something not on a Nintendo system in handheld form, and/or who want to play something only a PC or more powerful console could handle in a less-optimized version in handheld…

I’m still not sure this is a sustainable model. It seems likely they’re barely breaking even, or more likely, taking a loss on the hardware. They’re not making any more money on software sales for this device than they would if you played the game on your regular PC. For the PC gamers, you play on a PC for the…

Console war BS. There also always seems to be some backlash when lesser-powered systems see success (Switch, Wii, DS, although some of that has to do with people wanting Nintendo IP on other systems and their success prevents that).

When are we losing the myth that Nintendo never discounts its games? Yes, MSRP on 5 year old titles remains $60, but I’d be willing to be nobody has to wait more than two weeks at any given time before a major retailer has it on sale for $35-$40. Anyone paying $60 for Breath if the Wild at this date is the proverbial…

Nah, it’s fine, and if you’re stumped, you can spend the in-game currency to set up trickier battles for you 

In VR terms, Radiohead reminds me the most of Tetris Effect sans-Tetris. On a 4k OLED, it’s stunning in a way the far cheaper screens of modern VR devices couldn’t compete. Still, the option to do both would be nice. Perhaps on PS VR 2.

Yeah, but BotW had other elements since the whole world was a toy. It had stuff where you could throw a metal shield near an enemy during a lightning storm, or light the grass on fire to create an updraft allowing you to fire arrows in slow motion, or getting enemies to hit each other so they forget they’re pissed at…

Meh, it happens with music with many people. You get old, think all of the new stuff sucks, and it’s not as good as it used to be. While I don’t think it’ll happen with games, if single player went away, there’s so much old stuff I never played on systems I never owned, I’d be able to keep myself busy until I die. Or,…

I’m still waiting on 3D audio that doesn’t require headphones or sacrificing enormous amounts of quality by using TV speakers instead of sound systems or sound bars. They promised us something clever in their proprietary program. They could’ve just given us the option to pay $20 or so for Dolby Atmos.

Well something is differentiating the two. If you can get FIFA or CoD on either system, they should sell an equal number of systems, but most reports have Sony winning 2:1 in console sales this gen, and we know they did last gen too. Exclusives matter. 

Is it a turnoff when you run out if ammo in a game with guns? Same concept. As you get stronger, you get better weapons, and weapons are so plentiful, that it’s really only an issue early in the game.
