The battle for your subscription money.

6d ago ... For me the major bombshell from E3 was that Sony are going to start charging to use their online gaming network. I’m not exactly why this sticks in my throat as much as it does, after all I’m already a PS+ subscriber and I can’t see myself giving it up anytime soon. I guess I just feel that making it mandatory somehow cheapens the great value I get from the service, anyway I digress... Sony...

Microsoft's E3 2013 Conference - The Good, The Meh and The Bad

6d ago ... Usually, it's only Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony who get the bigger spotlights out of all the conferences, but this year, it was just Microsoft and Sony. In recent years, Microsoft's conferences have been... far from exciting. This year? Well. It was miles ahead, but even then, it still didn't get me pumped for much. They say this year is going to be a great year for gaming, and in terms of M...

8th Gen - The Death (Finally!) of Corridor Shooters?

7d ago ... The blog picture comes from here: http://memearchive.net/memerial.net/1371/picture.jpg , and I think it's a fitting way to describe the modern FPS genre. I like shooters. I really do, but I've been a bit worn out on them recently. I have my reasons, but chief among them would be how every FPS these days seems to be a corridor shooter. I grew up on shooters like Duke Nukem, Strife, Syst...

Square's Epic Brand: A Final Fantasy 15 Story

7d ago ... The story of Final Fantasy has evolved over the years, each tailored to suit the current worlds graphics. Long ago, in the land of eight bit technology the Final Fantasy franchise was born, into a world filled with side scrolling army soldiers fighting helicopters, or motorcycle games based on how many backflips you could perform before you crashed repeatedly and eventually lost the race. It...

The Surprisingly Affordable Price of PS4 - Good for Sony or Bad?

7d ago ... . . . One of the things...no, wait, scratch that. The MAIN thing that kept me from salivating over the PS4 too quickly, unlike 80%+ of the gaming community - was the ominous price tag. When Sony unveiled their new console, boasting about it's superior next-generation tech ~ I immediately came to the conclusion that we'd be looking at another PS3 launch situation...great, powerful console - b...

My Review of Nintendo's "E3 Nintendo Direct 2013"

7d ago ... Nintendo made a startling decision this year; They would not be holding a major press conference at E3 2013. This struck many gamers, especially Nintendo-lovers, straight in the gut. "How could they even think about ditching E3? Their home system is in trouble! They should be coming out with guns blazing and bombs dropping!" - That - more than likely, was the thought of the many who shook th...

E3 - showfloor day one

7d ago ... Going to your first E3 is exciting and after the announcement of PS4 and Xbox One is EXTREMELY exciting, from a gamer's perspective. PLAYSTATION 4 Of course I had watched the live conferences on monday and my first stop was at the Playstation area. I wanted to take a close look at the PS4 and I have to say that's really slick. My first impression, during the live conference, was (and it wa...

Sony and the DRM situation for PS4

7d ago ... First Sony was the savior of gaming during the conference and now after Jack Tretton stated that it would be up to publishers if they have DRM or not people argue that Sony was lying or follow suit to enforce DRM in the future. From the explanation that was given during the conference Sony wasn`t lying because nothing on the console side is there to support DRM. There is nothing in place to...

Why Sony won E3 (it's not why you think)

7d ago ... 25 years from now, on the brink of the next-next-gen, people will be asking one another in hushed tones "I wonder if so-and-so will pull a Sony like they did with the PS4..." History was made yesterday, and it's for a very simple reason: gamers won. For the first time in years, a multi-billion dollar company paid attention to the heart's desire of gamers everywhere. Plenty of fantastic games we...

PS4 - Mysterious Missing Hardware Piece

7d ago ... I'm not sure if i am the only one curious about this, or if everyone has forgotten. When sony showed the PS4 Teaser trailer there was a distinct "Circular grill" piece of hardware for the PS4. Even mock ups tried including it in their attempts at creating a PS4 image: http://media.t3.com/img/res... This piece can be seen at 0:12 in Sony's PS4 Teaser Trailer. However, after looking at al...

Why I think Nintendo beat Microsoft at E3

7d ago ... Everybody has shown their hands. E3 2013 had a lot of hopes for the industry. Who delivered? Who had the worst of the three? I will say, and many others would most definitely agree, Sony stole the show. Not only because of how many huge mistakes Microsoft have made, but because they handled their hardware showing the best of the three. Its no secret that anybody besides a fool would argue again...

How the new xbox may collapse under the weight of its own policies.

7d ago ... Let me paint you a somewhat likely scenario. Let’s assume that the Xbox One does sell out all its pre orders and that Microsoft does not reverse its stance on DRM. History tells us that major game launches that involve DRM tend to be a bit messy. Consider the recent examples of Diablo 3 and SimCity, both had major problems for weeks on end. Now consider an entire console built around the i...

Xbox One Always Online Screws Military

7d ago ... There has been much hatred towards Microsoft going around because of the restrictive way that DRM affects playing games on their system. Being in the Marine Corps, I know first hand the far reaching effects of this new policy. There are many MSG contracts opening up. MSG Contracts are security details for U.S Embassies that take Marines to Embassies in Africa, Asia, Europe, the Americas, the Pa...

That definitely wasn't Sony's best E3.

7d ago ... People are claiming Sony's E3 was the best in History. Okay. So they start off showing the The Last of Us, Beyond and a few more games that will close with this console generation. Then they show vita and all that, until finally they show the PS4. I like the console, looks great. So then they start talking about Movie/Music unlimited... Okaay.. They show the 4 PS4 exclusives that were already a...

PS-Plus Mandatory to Play Online on PS4

7d ago ... The Sony press conference at E3 yesterday can be called a huge success. They showcased some amazing games coming to PS4 in its first year and sent an important signal to the industry: Sony speaks out against restrictive DRM and used game policies. It seemed to be a good day for gamers, but there was a major downside that was addressed only passively. Online gaming on PS4 requires a PS+ subscrip...

Why paid multiplayer on PS4 isn't an issue

7d ago ... It appears there has been a lot of backlash from many people over the introduction of a mandatory paid service for online play coming to the next generation Playstation. Let me start by saying I am a PlayStation owner, and have been all my life. Secondly I should state I have been a PS+ member for around 4 months now and have a fair bit of insight on this topic. People are up in arms tha...

How Sony Won Next-Gen In 120 Minutes

8d ago ... After the mixed reviews Microsoft conference got, everyone naturally turned their eye to the next big conference; Sony. Speculations were running rampant, even more so than it was before the platform was first introduced back in late February and expectations were going higher and higher every passing minute, leaving everyone asking the same question at the end; will Sony be able to deliver? Th...

Let the Hypocrisy Flow

8d ago ... Xbox One doesn't have backwards compatibility? No biggie. Ps4 requires payment to play online? I wipe myself with $5 a month! Xbox One has mandatory installs? Whatever, man; Halo! I read a blog by DedicatedToGamers a few days ago, in which he said (in summary) 'I'm not afraid of a console with bad policies, I'm afraid of the gamers that accept them'. I must now concur with grave prejud...

Sony’s E3 Show and Rating

8d ago ... Sony has had it easy thus far with the PS4, thanks to the competition’s fumbles. So did they take it easy at E3 or did they kill it. Jack Trenton: Yes by this point due to all the gifs the PlayStation bosses are celebrities. Jack comes out and thanks the fans and gives a quick overview of the PS3, PS Vita, and PS4. It’s nice, but let’s get to the games Jack. Batman Origins Counter Sp...

And This Years Champion Is....

8d ago ... The E3 press conferences are over. Nintendo didn't have the traditional press conference, option for a Nintendo Direct. Microsoft had their press conference first, then much later on Sony had there's. If you watched both conferences, then the winner should be quite obvious. Sony absolutely dominated E3. With a conference of 2 hours, Sony spent a bare minimum of time talking about non-gaming...
