Jeremy Conrad writes: This morning, gaming site Polygon is doing a twelve-hour live stream showing off the Xbox One. Right before the comical demo of Dead Rising 3, where most of the voice commands didn’t seem to work and they couldn’t even snap Internet Explorer correctly, a panel of editors discussed the system that the site seems to be carrying so much water for. During this panel, site Editor-in-Chief Chris Grant stated a couple times that one advantage the Xbox One has over the PS4 is that the Xbox One supports remote controls and the PS4 does not. He even used the example that grandma would want to use the Xbox One over the PS4 because she wouldn’t want to use the Dual Shock 4 to watch a movie. Later, he used the example of Netflix on how the Xbox One is a superior choice over the PS4 for Netflix because of remote support. The problem with these statements is that they are lies.
Gary Green said: Sorry for sleeping with the enemy, but Pokémon has previously been something of a guilty pleasure of mine in one form or another. Back in my younger days of student life, a gap year and living under my parents’ roof, and with money to burn, I was very much a carefree multi-format gamer, and so Nintendo’s monster-catching mega-franchise always had a place in my expansive game collection. Then there were the trading cards that everyone wanted despite them never really gaining the value we were all expecting 20 years later. Not my best investment.

Rainbow Cotton was a Dreamcast exclusive back in 2000, and has never seen a release in the west. That is, until now.
Polygon is biased?
I would never have guessed! /s
For "professionals", many people in this industry can be extremely petty. I expect it amongst the general gaming population....but not industry professionals.
Never cared for Polygon anyway.......Now i will actively avoid them.
dem guys are known fanboys though. this is why gaming media is down the toilet.
so few real sites out these days.
i miss gamepro
*SMH*
Did these guys pay their way onto Metacritic or something?
