Oh, we are judging on game quality then? I happened to really like The Order so I don't understand why it should be discounted, and Microsoft's releases are all TBD at this point since, you know, they haven't shipped anything since last November. If we are talking solely about conferences...

I'm not sure why MS deserves so much credit for focusing on "2015"  at E3 when all they've really done is packed an entire year of releases into the same two month period that's also delivering the best third party lineup in a very long time. They've left the first 9 month of the year vacant...

Has Wombat tried blowing into the USB ports on his computer like they're NES cartridges? I'm sure that would get his mic working in no time. I'd love one of those Vision codes, BTW. I just got back into Marvel Heroes. It's really pretty cool. I hope we get a Console version some day. It could...

Awesome! I've had my eye on Damascus Gear for a while.

I don't understand what you think the difference is? All are open to the public. All have dozens of exhibitors. All are driven by community involvement. All have speakers, panels, entertainment. If you think Bethesda and Blizzard don't consider their conventions "community events" then you are...

Wombat, you are high. Sony isn't throwing a silly in-store promo. It's a big show with tons of panels, demos, a keynote, and presumably a bunch of free swag. BlizzCon is a community event. QuakeCon is a community event. Even PAX is a community event. They all charge for tickets.

1.) That article presents a best case scenario for Xbox One compared to a worst case scenario for PS4 to establish a "minimum sales advantage", not a realistic estimate. 2.) The figures Ars Technica used are demonstrably false. Adding the known sales just from the US and Japan that occurred...

I think the strategy game Wombat was thinking of was probably Kessen for the PS2. And the Musou licenced game Shipwreck couldn't think of was Dragon Quest Heroes.

Hey Wombat, there's actually a lot of developers in Poland these days. The studios behind The Witcher, Dead Island and Bulletstorm are all located there and you have a number of spinoff groups from those working on Lords of the Fallen, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter and lots of other games in...

This is not true. The ID@Xbox program is the only way independent publishers can get their games on Xbox One without going through a publisher or being published directly by Microsoft. It is the only path, you are not given other options. In any case you get many of the same exact benefits from...

Mmm, I could really use a free copy of South Park. PS3 will be an option I hope!

Yeah, PS4 totally does app switching. It even has that shortcut where you double click the PS button to fast switch between your game and the last app you used. That kind of fast task switching is by no means Xbox only at this point.

Both have visions, Microsoft's is broader, but it's presumptuous to say it is either better, or stronger. Sony's vision was to create the strongest gaming platform with modern social features and unencumbered access to incredibly popular streaming media services. To that end they have built a...

Historically, the most powerful system has not been a sure bet to win, but that's not because people don't want more powerful systems. It's because the weaker systems have historically had a price advantage and/or a time to market advantage. PS2 was on the market for 18 months before Xbox. PS1...

Hmm. I've gotten multiple emails about the EA coupon, in addition to my THQ and Ubisoft emails. Just an error? I did buy lots of EA stuff on Amazon this year. Maybe they'll stack! 38 Studios self-published that game on Steam. Since they went under and everything is in bankruptcy proceedings...

Ho, ho, ho. Now I have a ticket.

Really scraping the bottom of the barrel for Vita complaints this week. Shipwreck's too stupid to read the screen, and somehow that's the hardware's fault? And Cheapy whine that it takes a minute to load the Netflix app? So, about as long as Netflix takes to load on a PS3, 360, Android tablet or...

Well, you can't just compare flash pricing to mechanical storage. The GBs per $ is always better on actual hard drives. But my point was MS is literally selling the same exact model Western Digital hard drives you can buy on NewEgg for $40 at 3x that price. The only technical difference is a...

There are a few ways to look at the Vita memory pricing. As I mentioned before, the actual price of entry is just an additional $20. That's not too bad in absolute sense. I also mentioned that the memory pricing isn't bad compared to non-expandable memory pricing on iPhones/iPads, nor the kind...
