I don't understand why DICE would get such hate, but it is the internet after all. I recently got a fresh reminder why I don't like playing online against strangers. It seems behind anonymity most people are assholes. I haven't built up enough good people on my PS4 friend list to cover the games I play.

I look forward to Battlefront a lot, but I will most likely only play the SP part because of this reason -- unless I happen to find enough good people to play wit...

There's zero reason for SW:BF not to look that good on the PS4. Ubisoft set a bad precedent with Watch Dogs and it's got everyone sceptical. AC Unity looked as good as the early alpha footage (but it had bugs, that's not related), Driveclub looks fantastic and they've even added demanding weather features on top of what was already a beautiful game, Ryse looked incredible at _launch_, Infamous Son Second Son awesome, Witcher 3 looks amazing.

Plus take this int...

Clickbait, misleading title, as usual... Just worded carefully enough so they can't be called liars.

E3 is just a bit over 7 weeks away, I think we'll have to wait until then for gameplay. Would love to be proven wrong.

This I agree with completely. But Amazon hasn't really shown that they are interested in going down that avenue yet with their new strategy.

Double Helix is still pluggin' away at KI, and maybe a new title who knows (I liked their current-gen Strider). I'm interested to see where Amazon is heading with their games acquisitions. Hopefully it will be in a positive direction.

Crytek gets more hate than they deserve. Far Cry 1 was great, Crysis 1 was great, Crysis 2 and 3 were both fun even if they weren't as good as 1. Homefront 2 was looking really interesting based on the interviews and gameplay footage they showed off (not talking about the trailer, but the actual gameplay).

Ryse was terrible, but a lot of launch games had that issue. It's tough to get a quality game out day and date with the launch of a new console. Unless you're N...

Gaming Bolt fishing for clicks with somewhat misleading title. This is a non-news item. Now if the title would have been "Upcoming trailer for Batman will reveal new character", that would have been more appropriate. Saying it's "looking sweet" without context suggests it's out.

I also like how Gaming Bolt turned up the gamma on MKX to make the PS4 version look washed out in comparison to the PC version when they look nearly identical. MKX is not a...

"Looking good"? I feel that's an understatement :).

@Spotie: Seconded... Sony nor Devs have not said it doesn't work properly in ages. There are still things they are working on, mostly user feedback and new features. I follow them on Facebook and they are candid.

It should have had a more thorough beta and the launch should have been pushed back again and that will always haunt Driveclub's legacy the way it was at launch. Today, right now, and since 2 months after release, it's been a fantastic game.

Damn Rivals has aged badly... It was fun tho! Different type of game. It was also a launch title so some slack has to be cut there (even tho both Ryse and KZ looked great and still do).

While I do feel Netherrelm are expecting lots of people to go for the $80 pre-order, now $89 MK with "season pass" perhaps if they didn't do this their budget wouldn't have allowed for the extra characters to have been developed (shouldn't assume, video games profiting is not an easy thing). This assures that everyone can play against the DLC characters in MP modes and in SP modes. It could also be that they just wanted to get filthy rich, I don't know. The $60 is a ...

Not watching these :). Want to find out on my own. More fun that way.

My theory on this (and has been for a while): These MP games gets lots of hype in the media because people who work in the games media have lots of gamer friends they can play with. Not everyone does. Publishers/Devs therefore underestimate the importance of a true single player component. I mostly only play the CODs and the BF's for the SP campaign because, while short, pack a visual punch and are _usually_ fun.

I'd be curious how much COD would sell without the SP ...

I am a "fan" and I love the exo-suits.

I feel that he's not as honest as people say he is. To get to his position, I find it hard to believe that you have been completely, brutally honest your whole career -- including the present. He chooses what he says more carefully than I think a lot of his fans realize.

Not sure why your ratio of agrees/disagrees is leaning towards disagrees. When the Unity teaser came out people went nuts. It looked as good in the final game, yet it didn't get the same praise. I see similar comments happening with lots of games. People quickly forget how last gen looked like.

@Kingtrash that's what I'm wondering too. Konami owns Silent Hill. If they fired him, I think any Konami owned properties are unlikely to get into KOjimas hands. But who knows, maybe they can strike a deal.

Are we _sure_ this is it? Smoke and Cindara appears in early gameplay cinematics... Would be very cruel to show them and not have them playable. I would also expect Barrack in MKX as he's been one of the main characters of the series. They trolled us once, are they trolling us again? And where are the four pack DLC characters going to fit? I think they can squeeze in another row... We'll see of course.

All of Kenshi's variations look awesome btw. Really liking th...

I hate console games that require you to play a mobile game to get fun/cool extras like this.

They are also making you sign up for WB Rewards Program if you want a cool Raiden skin. Maybe it'll be released later for a fee but I doubt the mobile ones will be.

No one liked it in Assassin's Creed Unity's mobile companion and I doubt anyone will like basically being forced to play a mobile game you don't want to play (and probably spend money on...
