No need to get defensive about the reviews imo. The game just isn't that great, it's a new IP on a new console and the developer was just creating a solid framework with great graphics (which was the point). The reviews were rightly critical of it, it's just that most people here and other...

That's not bad, you're talking about 3 games with cutscenes and extras/options enhanced to HD on one BR disc. Each game is almost 10 gigs separately, so not as much of a big deal as you think.

That's the beauty of it, there isn't a need to follow any publisher that would put crazy demands on developers' games. Project CARS and The Witcher 3 are "AAA indies" getting physical releases, and I'm glad as I prefer to buy games that way. It's just funding game development isn't tied to...

It could be a combination of all those things really. This is the first console generation where online multiplayer can play heavily into launch sales, so initially high PS4 sales can continually grow off more people wanting a PS4 to play with friends on PSN. There's also the "My PS3/360 is...

It's definitely the later, casual gamers (especially of the co-op party game variety) by nature don't invest into expensive hardware so early in a product's life-cycle, they tend to get it when it's lower in price. The XB1/PS4 aren't near that level of market penetration to make those kinds of...

Are there any powers like that in Second Son that are mapped to L2/R2? Infamous 1 and 2 (as far as I remember) don't have anything based on modifiers or pressure sensitive actions. The closest I can think of is Kinetic Pulse and that radio-controlled type of missile power, but that's about for...

Can't compare Kinect Fitness to Wii Fit though... Wii Fit was a pay-once addon content tied to a physical product. The Wii was a less-expensive but popular console from the beginning for the more casual/physically-active audience. The Wii Fit was something that came after the console's...

Considering how good the PS4 is selling, it's a given that MS would have to pay out some serious cash to keep it off the competing platform. That being said, I have to look at how they keep saying "the deal" has a duration instead saying "the game's exclusivity". That means this might be an...

Splatoon Will Feature Full Voice Chat http://www.pixeldynamo.com/news/gaming/2014/06/14/15311/splatoon-will-feature-full-voice-chat/

They put those games on idsplay to keep their conference interesting, and to show off timed-exclusives/marketing deals they maintain with 3rd parties. CoD being the sales juggernaut insures that MS will more-than-likely use that to start off their conference with a bang. Sony showing UC4 was...

I agree on voice chat purely for teamwork purposes in games that require it. That said, I don't mind a lack of voice chat if there was a in-game directing/cue system to communicate with squadmates. Voice chat doesn't for Nintendo's curated style and the audience they automatically appeal to, but...

It is, the new Guilty Gear game is using UE4 as well (arriving on the PS3 and PS4). Damn thing looks like 2D animation even though it's 3D cel-shaded. Edit: GG Xrd is using UE3, still good-looking but not made with UE4. And there is no official UE4 support for PS3/360/Wii-U, but... developers...

I know there was a bit about some Ubisoft developer claiming the developers of the game stole the running/traversal animations from AC2. But the system about gathering enemy intelligence on weaknesses or social connections seems to be a more fleshed-out concept from the original Assassin's...

I think that's one of the reasons why Sony allowed this feature to be free instead of putting it behind the PS Plus paywall. It's a great way to make sure every PS4 owner has a chance see what certain games are all about, and therefore encourage future purchases for games (AAA or Indie). The...

I don't see anything wrong with an app-based ecosystem for consoles. At least you're guaranteed 8-10 years of OS updates for it. With phones you're not guaranteed any OS updates for even 2 years (especially if you don't have a flagship handset). Hardware manufacturers ship different phones...
