This guy will become famous as the guy who finally stood up and called for more interesting experiences in games....until the police find the bodies and we all find out he wasn't talking about videogames. #6
I don't know if it can. On one hand the reviews have been very good so that's promising but on the other hand the reviews have been very good so you never know. #12
I like the setting and idea of this. The bad human guy from the first Knack trailer and the Jazz singer from LA Noire fighting monsters in Victorian London. I'm just not totally sold until I see gameplay. #6
I'm very worried. I'm glad it won't be a shooter but, 'we're keeping what people loved about the first game/Faith won't be running quite so much' is a little scary. #5
Looks like a decent enough hack and slash but I do miss the days when Final fantasy felt like reading an old dusty book and less like watching a blockbuster summer movie. #76
Sure it looks cool now but what about when you're still picking tiny robots out of your carpet months later or being killed in your sleep by a pissed off floating robot that decided he's not going to take any more of your physical abuse? #20
Thanks for being civil yourself. I've disagreed with a lot of points you've made recently but I respect the fact that you argue the logic of your points out fully rather than doing the usual Internet debate thing of shouting opinions over and over as if they're facts. I'm often too lazy to continue an argument to its conclusion but I do enjoy a quick debate here or there.

but multiplayer gaming is built on disempowering and dominating your opponent. Look at Halo's longstanding fine noble tradition of teabagging a fallen enemy. As Benjamin Franklin once said, 'Why even bother killing people if you can't teabag their corpse?'. Either women should be treated the same as men in multiplayer gaming, which means a good deal of teasing that could be taken as offensive due to the social history of inequality between both genders (note I'm n... #7.1
It's not a good idea but comparatively it doesn't seem so bad. Admittedly it's a sad state of affairs when Sony can crush the competition by ONLY forcing us to pay to play online and nothing more but that's the way it is. PSN is still the best online service on a hardcore gaming console, that might be damning it with faint praise but there you go. #8.2
I think the more important point is what this type of reporting is doing to the world. In every form of media we have people too terrified to speak openly and honestly about anything because they know every word they say will be examined by journalists desperate to find something to make a story out of. By allowing the existence of a climate in which a person can not give a simple lighthearted taunt while demonstrating a videogame what do you think we're doing to the creative arts themsel... #6
It actually didn't look bad for what it was but I can't help but think from the little I've seen it shouldn't be a numbered Final fantasy game. I'd rather think of it as a spin off set in the same always different Universe. I also can't help but wonder what it is about Japanese games and those stiff unnatural character animations. Even many of the most beautifully made Japanese games seem to have those very old school stiff animations. #7
I need to see gameplay before I go crazy for it. GTA4 was very detailed but sooo grainy and just plain messy in motion (yes, I played it on both consoles and it was). If it looks as crisp as Red dead or Max Payne I'll be very happy but if it has that 'constantly surrounded by a haze of cooking oil droplets' thing GTA4 had going my hype will go down significantly. #6
Wish I didn't want this because I'm so against these half sequels and unnecessary prequels on principle.....but...I want it. I can't deny. The fights against the martial artists look cool. #1
Without that one knockout punch I'd say it was about even. Microsoft did far better than I expected and Sony did a little worse. After that one big knockout blow of no DRM, no spycam, no online check up, Sony won by a huge margin. The entire conference was basically like watching Muhammad Ali fight back in the day, Sony took a few punches and kept quiet until in one moment they delivered a huge knockout blow. #19
It's definitely a bit of a bummer but with the knowledge of the bullet we dodged with everything else it doesn't seem so bad. Better to take a sly finger or two than a savagely inserted broom handle. #24
