This is an utter shame. I hope Kojima puts his foot down and demand that there be drastic improvements for both versions or decide to go with using that Bluepoint company since they clearly know what they are doing in terms of making HD remakes and they have experience to back it up.

Also, check out TwinPerfect's dissection of the Silent Hill HD collection and what really went wrong with it in the attached video. #6

@Studio-YaMI Thank you for the thoughtful reply. In my opinion, all of those incidents are incredibly dangerous towards the freedoms of speech and expression. I understand your viewpoint about being aware of a religion's tenets and to be receptive to it. However, I cordially disagree that there shouldn't be anything related to Islam in a video game. It'd be strange to have a fighting stage in Saudi Arabia to not have anything to do with Islam since it's primarily a Muslim theo... #17.2.2

If I so may reply to this; I sincerely doubt that the Namco team would've deliberately put it in unless it suited the theme of that particular level. Saudi Arabia is an Islamic theocratic monarchy and it's rather odd to not have anything representing that particular religion from that place. http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

It's not the first time that Muslims have steppe... #17.2

Interestingly enough, 343 studios have hired people from Retro Studios who are most notable for making the Metroid Prime series. The Haloverse is also incredibly interesting; especially when the books explored how the Spartan program came about and the implications that went along with it. I hope the next Halo games explore those areas a little more. #1.2.2

Resident Evil might need a bit of a reboot. They really need to get back to basics and start figuring out what made the series great and make it palatable for the modern gaming audience. #2

Do people normally look yummy when they are old?

No. They just look old. #3.1

How about this video then?

It looks good to me. #1.1

Sure. N4G could probably do that and ban stories of Pachter but other game websites will still go on whatever he says. He's a charlatan but he knows how to make money. #1.2.2

Of course it'll be a success. Pachter is trying to gain exposure from the news cycle to reach out to new investors.

That's pretty cool. Will be checking it out. #1

Yeah. What is the true price for all those gadgets I wonder? #4.1

It's a good idea to sit on the fence for now, but you can get a black version if the Feng shui of your living space is a big concern to you.

Ubisoft really like the console, but we'll see what happens. #2.2

What the hell guys? The game has just been released and there are already calls for a sequel?! Just enjoy the game. #10

Got some interesting selections on that list. I was more of a fan of Jack than Miranda of the ME series though. #2

I was just really surprised when I was notified I got a notification. There were some great blogs in September. #14.1.1

?!

This is good right? #14

"The next generation is a place where the best idea, not the biggest budget will win." - Satoru Iwata #2.1

Nintendo knows what they are doing. Budgets for games are reaching an unsustainable level of investment already. Dead Space 3 for instance needs to sell 5 million copies to just break even. Let's do some math.

5 million x $60 at retail price = $300,000,000

Just to break even. When you compare it to the Avengers film budget of $220 million, it's utterly mental.

Developing for a new console will be incredibly costly, but Nintendo's... #1.3.3

It's true that Reggie looks kinda creepy, but so does any other video game head. Jack Tretton, Robbie Bach, Peter Moore, Kotick are all kinda creepy as well.

But this is all irrelevant. How about actually talking about the story for once? #5

Oh great. Partial nudity will definitely be a plus for re-buying the same games that you've already got on your other system. /s #4
