Andrew Groen: ''On Wednesday evening, Sony will present a glamorous press briefing in New York City that is almost certain to be the debut of its next PlayStation home console.
New console announcements, by their nature, are full of promises. Some of them are relatively small things, and some sound impossibly grandiose. And veteran game industry followers know that it’s important to take each one of them with a grain of salt. In an effort to generate buzz for their new machine, companies will often resort to half-truths and outright lies to get consumers excited.
As we get ready for Sony’s big announcement, let’s take a look back at the promises it made in 2005 and 2006 prior to the launch of PlayStation 3, to find out how well they’ve held up over the ensuing eight years.''
Game Rant chats with the creator of No More Heroes about who he would like to see play the role of Travis Touchdown in a live-action adaptation.
Actually Ryan Gosling makes a ton of sense.
Edit: If this can be done in a Scott Pilgrim movie kind of way that would be dope.
The Opening Levels that hooked gamers from the outset.
Michael 'BrolyLegs' Begum, beloved Street Fighter icon, has passed at 35, leaving behind a legacy of courage and inspiration.
Damn, this guy was amazing and very courageous. It was unbelieveable how good he was at Street Fighter. Playing the game basically with his mouth. RIP.
Totally agree with most of the article but the BIGGEST issue for me was the CGI they passed off as gameplay.
Killzone, Motorstorm and Eight Days with the UI slapped on it like the article says; it was an all out lie. People argue and say "oh but Killzone looks quite similar to what was shown" but that isn't the point. To be honest, I thought it was a bit insulting really.
But that's my biggest concern with the PS4 reveal; they misrepresent what the console is capable of. They have constantly done it in the past and I hope they don't do it now.
But the funny thing is, they don't need to! Just show us what the PS4 is capapble of doing by showing actual gameplay. I'm sure we will be impressed nonetheless.
This is the 3rd negative article in 12hrs by wired about Sony. Get ready for a steady stream of negative news from hater sites.
I actually liked the boomerang controller, why did they scrap?
Articles like these are pathetic. They are written by butthurt morons looking for a reason to b*tch about something because they can't stand the completely positive energy surrounding Sony recently in anticipation for the event tonight. Rather than just accept people are feeling good about something in gaming, which is very rare these days thanks to morons like the aforementioned butthurt variety, these Rhodes Scholars are trying to purposely shift the energy from positive to negative.
Take your negativity and shove it where it belongs. If you don't like people being happy about something, get some mental help and leave us alone.
