After walking through the LA Convention Center and taking a gander at all of the elegant set ups that are being prepared for this week, I walked outside and saw this being displayed across the top of the West Hall

KB is the man when it comes to promotion...

LordMarius5219d ago

Kevin Butler at E3?
This Changes Everything

mushroomwig5219d ago

Bubbles for that comment, it made my day. :]

HolyOrangeCows5219d ago

"You got to admit, Kevin Butler makes Robin Hood look like a flat out bitch. Doesn't he?"

Yes.

lovestospoodge5219d ago (Edited 5219d ago )

Why yes, yes he does

tplarkin75219d ago

Kevin Butler could easily punt a football over that sign, too. He's amazing.

Christopher5219d ago

Congrats to Sony for FINALLY going above and beyond their usual advertising quota and doing it right. They may not be able to beat Microsoft with marketing, but they're at least not pussy-footing it like other years.

AKS5219d ago (Edited 5219d ago )

I got some disagrees here awhile back for predicting that KB would be Sony's secret weapon for E3. It looks like they just moved to DEFCON 2 by dropping that giant KB banner.

mercenarie5219d ago (Edited 5219d ago )

a lot of people wanted Kevin Butlers presence at E3 and SONY delivered.. im glad that their listening

RT @V_Ben: @jeffrubenstein so, KB is certainly the biggest thing at E3! http://bit.ly/cKq0lI

lol taken from Kevin Butlers twitter response to Jeff Rubenstein

KillerPwned5219d ago

KB was once just a man but now E3 has come and he is a god....

ROFL @SkCShifty as always...anyways back to the topic. About bloody time :D

Tony-A5219d ago (Edited 5219d ago )

Yeah, looks like SKC's shift started.

@young: he called it "Lame", like always.

young juice5219d ago

did he report? what did it say?

I NEED TO KNOW!!!!1

CryofSilence5219d ago (Edited 5219d ago )

He reported it just as he reports every Playstation article: "Lame."

dkblackhawk505219d ago

Exactly, it is best to just ignore him and wait for the mods to deal with it...

TotalPS3Fanboy5219d ago (Edited 5219d ago )

trying to make sure these articles doesn't get approve. But they always get approved and he always failed to stopped it. Gotta give him credits for trying so hard and never giving up at something impossible like this. Hear that? Never give up SKC! Never give up! LOL.

We believed in you. If only you just believe in yourself more and try harder next time...

SonyNGP5219d ago

You gotta love the guy. He's awesome :P

Heaven_Or_Hell5219d ago

Hell yeah
Now make a appearance at the conference !

Ether5219d ago

KB would make Sony's conference twice as awesome.

PirateThom5219d ago

I'd say this makes it almost guaranteed he'll make some sort of appearance.

Hopefully playing against Tretton in something, like that fighting game.

SeanRL5219d ago

I don't know how Sony came up with the character of KB, but it was one of the smartest things they did this console generation.

What a great game this was. Man we could use some more of these...

darthv722h ago

Does this game support cross progression? I still have not beaten the first (I got sidetracked with lots of other games) and Id like to pick up where I left off through this version.

Zeke682h ago

Yes, if you mean PS4 to PS5 to PS5 Pro. Same save can be imported.

Zeke681h ago

To clarify, I played it on PS3 OG version. Imported that save to my PS4 remaster, imported that one to the PS5 remake. Hope that makes it more clear. ;)

Zeke681h ago

@darth72 Oops sorry, my wife you told me the remake DID NOT support old saves. She said I restarted the game and usually she have a great memory. So sorry, it seems I was wrong about the remake! :(

Game Journalism is too corporate to trust

Game reviews have been around since the mid-1970s. Play Meter was the first of its kind. During their time, it was mainly coin-operated machines that were covered, as certain arcade games that many of us consider classics such as Space Invaders were popular. Other publications sprang up, such as Arcade Alley in 1979. From then on, gaming journalism was on the rise. Electronic Games Magazine, Famitsu, The Games Machine, Nintendo Power, and others all gave way to gaming journalism’s growing popularity and importance. In the beginning, gaming journalism was about the love of the games, the history of the product, and giving potential consumers genuine insight. The passion was there. The commitment was there. The insight was there. And most importantly, the trust was there.

That and a bunch of haters have made gaming a big negative cesspool.

lodossrage1d 17h ago

True, that's almost as much of a problem as the gaming media itself

CrimsonIdol19h ago

There's a fair bit to hate about big corporate game companies

qalpha2h ago

"I've got a great idea! Let's turn this article about corporate journalism into an attack on gamers!"

thorstein21h ago

They've become nothing more than corporate shills. Rather than speaking truth to power, they're just looking at the latest clickbait no matter how false it is.

The straight up lies are annoying. Then journalists claim that a lie is an opinion. Um... no.

yea its been like this for years and only has gotten worse during covid.

they are sometimes worse than celeb. trash news ha.

"you will NOT believe what the DEV of XYZ said"

or and those are my favourites,

"XYZ game gets REMASTER TREATMENT" and you click on the link and its just a god damn mod ha.

Tacoboto20h ago

"XYZ Players are saying THIS about the new update!"

And the article is based on a single tweet from someone with an anime profile image

porkChop13h ago

It's going to get even worse because IGN bought out a bunch of their competition this year. So IGN now publishes games, sells games, reviews the games they publish and sell, and controls a large portion of games media. What could go wrong?

JackBNimble4h ago

IGN has no more credibility then CNN

Mr_cheese13h ago

N4G owners are the worst for that.

One tweet or reddit comment = full blown article

Profchaos20h ago

The gaming landscape today is full of corporations trying to suck as much money out of us as possible while giving us as little as possible in return that's the biggest problem I see right now and the fact the journos should be the ones calling the gross practices out now suckle at the teat of the publishers to stay in favour and maintain working relationships to avoid being blacklisted for reviews and preview events show their interests do not align with ours.

HankHill20h ago

Consume the new product and don't ask any questions.

Christopher18h ago

Always question change, always seek out facts.

victorMaje17h ago

Hey Chris, not sure if others have already suggested but here’s another idea for N4G, a website trust meter.
There used to be a way to click on the website of an article and downvote or something like that.
It can be like Steam’s rating, all time & recent.
Then the list of journalism website ratings accessible from a subdomain, jowebrat.n4g dot com :)

SimpleDad14h ago

@victorMaje No, this site user opinions? NO. This is not how it works my Victor. Trust meter??? LOL.

User reviews... this is what you have to look for, because games are made for users... not journalists.
Even if something is review bombed... there has to be a reason, something is wrong and you should hold on with your hard earned money.

Game sites are pushing... what they need to push, or want to push, or both.
Yes always seek out facts, right on Chris.

victorMaje13h ago

@SimpleDad

Of course games are made for users. That’s the whole point. I already seek out facts. Check my comment history you’ll see how I always advise to check trusted user reviews & I don’t pre-order.

Some journalism sites however do have user reviews, they’re not all bad journalism, these would raise the trust score of the journalism website, other stories with an agenda or disingenuous reviews could lower it.
Why not have such a tool coming out of N4G? It would be the metacritic of journalism websites, voted by N4G users. That doesn’t mean one should stop from also seeking user reviews.

thorstein39m ago(Edited 37m ago)

@victor that was an old feature on N4G. It went away before bubbles iirc.

Bubbles were how many comments we were allowed to make per story and you could earn more or lose them. Trolls would have 1 bubble. New users were limited to the number of comments so that prevented spam accounts.

A user like me had 12 bubbles right before it went away.

I miss bubbles.... and Cat.

I have to disagree. Personally, I feel like DD2 still needs a lot of optimization. I really dislike games that try to sell a bunch of DLC when their game is still a mess.

Redgrave3d ago

This, RDR2, Bloodborne.... and of course, Life of Black Tiger.
