Community driven aggregate sites are increasingly becoming a central hub for various publications from different industries, perhaps most so with gaming, causing more and more outlets to rely on them for traffic. The Daily Reaction crew of Seb and Dan discuss the benefits and pitfalls of aggregates, and what they mean for the industry as a whole.

As a kid i had some heart attacks playing this game. The soundtrack right on point with those close calls. I love this game.
Agreed. I still love it and play it often. Still sucks that Disney was like, nah... this game didn't do well, when it did well against other racers and reviewed well.
Split/Second was one of the game I enjoyed playing. In fact it's still the most popular video on my YouTube channel. It's a gameplay of Split/Second posted 15 years ago. This past month 25 people viewed it. Split/Second is a favourite amongst racing gamers worldwide.
This game was super awesome and hella fun playing split-screen with the homie. Trashing your friend’s car during split-screen competition using one of those QuickTime events was so funny haha
The Ace Combat series celebrates its 30th anniversary, and Bandai Namco revealed interesting initiatives, on top of a poignant message.
That controller looks like a cheap knockoff... it should have been a proper DS5 design.
what a dumb take.
Ace Combat 7 is one of the best games of the past generation. It doesn't need VR gimmicks to "redeem" it.
I have enjoyed nearly every single Ace Combat to death (except that helicopter shooting one) and have never needed VR once to enjoy it greatly
^^^ I'm guessing you've never actually tried it in VR then? VR elevates games like this way beyond just a gimmick, just ask any GT fan who owns a PSVR 2. You may not need VR to have a good time but it's an absolute game changer and something that shouldn't be dismissed as a gimmick.

Spoken like someone who never played it. But who are we kidding. We know why VR hate. No one is fooled here.
Can we get a new Ace Combat, with full vr and not just three or four levels, for PS5 and PSVR2
Also if we could get a remake of my all time favorite, Ace Combat5: The Unsung War, again with full vr for every mission with DualSense and flight stick haptics.
Getting a victory in Fortnite Battle Royale is more more challenging after the recent change.
I'm not touching this with a 50ft bubble pole
This article made me go on Reddit... That was 20 mins and 10 dog/cat pics ago.
I think having a central location for a certain type of news is a good thing.
I first came to N4G because it was the only place where I could get all the news without having to hunt it down from various sites.
The quality content is here on this site(and I assume reddit), but you still have to hunt for it, and it's rarely commented on. Some of these issues have to do with the model that game journalism takes, in that sensationalism tends to be more profitable than journalism.
Otherwise, the gaming community at large does what PSLS says, and that's make sensationalism popular, and often deflects the actual topics in the name of fan boy pandering. Can't really blame N4G or reddit for this trend because I think the game journalism people have done it to themselves by constantly catering to those types of people who tend to far outnumber the rational folk in comments. Obviously the good game journalists and stories are still out there though, I speak only in generalities.
There is no reason why quality and relevant news stories can't get the top spot on the front page. But it seems people aren't really interested in that, so they get lost in the fray.
I've been a member of this site since 07 and have to say that there are multiple things N4G can improve on.
Reworking the way stories are submitted and changing the comments section to show newest comments first (similar to Youtube and Disqus) are a few of my wishes.
