Really? That's interesting info, so there isn't a major difference between them in terms of speed/ping?

They may be a week ahead in 13 different countries, but the PS4 is a couple of months ahead in the other 20 countries.

While the media is once again going all anti-GTA in preperation for the next installment, this incident is situational and very unfortunate. It won't happen to every child who has played GTA and has access to a gun, but this combination is by no means easily ignored and might be a factor in triggering such acts to…

Good to know. I'm in the Middle East although we're technically under Europe's coverage when it comes to games and the like due to close proximity. I'm still trying to set on a server and I'm wondering whether if there's a big difference between Europe and North America in terms of lag and whatnot. Is it that…

Come on, Namco-Bandai. You know you want to localize this. I mean, Ni No Kuni was successful enough? Right? RIGHT?

I have never seen or heard of an MMO or a multiplayer-heavy game with a smooth launch. In FFXIV ARR's case, this is to be expected and doesn't affect the quality of the game itself and shouldn't be a reflection of what it's going to be. Even the infamous Blizzard had issues with Diablo 3 and World of Warcraft at…

Too bad that this happened since Rockstar are very protective of their games until relesase day, but Sony isn't completely to blame for this. Whoever dug through the assets and leaked it is the one who spoiled it for everyone because they went out of their way to examine locked content.

What's surreal about Earthbound is that it fits to be released in this day and age a lot more than its original release in the 90s. The reason for that, in my opinion, is that gamers and developers have gotten a lot more witty today thanks to the advent of the internet. We appreciate weird humor and wit in games a lot…

Really...weird. I mean, I like Affleck and all. Good actor, but I just can't imagine him as Batman for some reason. We'll see how it goes.

Cash in, eh? Got it.

I wish we could get more details so I can know what to do. Currently, I got the PS4 versions of Battlefield 4 and Ghosts on physical pre-order, but if this promotion works from physical PS3 to digital PS4 I'll cancel both pre-orders and get the PS3 versions instead. I know a lot of friends who will not immediately…

I wonder if progress and season passes are also cross-compatible with the PS3 and PS4 version, or is this an Xbox thing?

Sony continues to impress me in terms of universal and worldwide appeal. As a gamer living in the Middle East, one of the most important strategies I love is their aggressive worldwide launch date in 32 different countries, including my own. Microsoft, on the other hand, has opted for only 13 different countries for…

I guess there's a casual market for this model, but for us practical gamers it's definitely overpriced. If it were 130$ or less, it would definitely be a steal. As of now, it's cheaper for us to get the 250 or 500 GB model, replace the HDD cheap, and use the one that came with the system with an external case. With…

I would normally agree with you, but in this case the IP hasn't even debuted yet. It can't be popular if it's not out. Hell, it's not even an established IP. Just a concept. The name could very well be tentative even if Notch registered it.

I got mixed feelings on the news. On one hand, he is very brave for coming out, especially when it comes to wrestling. Since it's a very contact based sport with grapples and holds, coming out as gay would've killed his career if it were 5-10 years ago. Not to mention the attitude of of the locker room back then being…

If fans are going to revive it with no relation to the original project in terms of vision and build, they might as well make it their own original IP inspired by Notch's game instead of sharing the same name. If they're going to pick up where Notch left off and talk with him so he can share the code and concepts,…

Yeah....definite pass on this one as much potential as it has. Like the FF7 web series, using Kickstarter to publically fund a project without the original owner's permission spells doom. Notice that fan films which do not rely on public funding mostly get a pass from its creators. As soon as Kickstarter is involved,…

Yeah, I'm certainly turned off by this prospect as well. We already crowdsourced the console itself because we believed that it would deliver this grand promise of developers flooding in by the tons. Sadly, however, it's the total opposite. They prematurely launched an experimental concept which backfired on them a…

I think the hardware has gotten to a point in which we should not have a problem with auto-save and save-anywhere features in games. Personally, while it's quite invigorating to bounch from one save point to the next JRPGs, at times it feels too tedious...so games like Mario & Luigi: Dream Team are a delight to play.…
