I prefer the idea that Xbox will have universal set of components for developers and I was interested in what players would lose without the always online features. MS is talking cramp when they say they 'have' to cut any of the proposed features, lets face it, they backed down because of the big brother style snooping was implied.
I am a little more perplexed with Sony not having the camera bundled. It means the blue face of the dual shock 4 is optionally used, the touted kin...

And people are hating on Microsoft for the always on drm, Sony are ND are a joke and anyone who takes up for this is an idiot. Lost 4 hours and brought it back, not good and way to ruin a game with a day 1 patch. I'll be trading my PS3 in and all games towards an xbox one, at least MS aren't dishonest about their always on intentions... At least Dick Turpin wore a hat!

DRM is one thing but games have single handedly pushed Hollywood in the right direction. Has anybody noticed the quality of blockbusters made lately and how much they are influenced by games. Iron Man, Star Trek and even cinematography in Lincoln which looked very much like Red Dead in places. I think games, and more importantly gamers, expect more for their buck and this has pushed quality way up. Capcom and the DLC fiasco shows scars from attempting to rip gamers off, my advice to developer...

Without generalising you have the right attitude in your chosen entertainment. I am Irish and used to find the stupid accents of IRA villians in games/movies pretty laughable so I hope you get an element of slapstick from how Muslims are portrayed... Brad Pitts Northern Irish accent still makes me laugh, but as you say... What can you do but find fault in their wrong representation and enjoy it for what it is. There is good and bad in every race, religion and creed... The whole gay/lesbian th...

Both Sony and MS have produced interesting ideas for next gen and as they both NEED EACH OTHER in competition, we will all end up with an amalgamation of both techs regardless. We really are spoilt, just imagine the immersive fun we are going to experience in just a few years time. Thanks guys, continue to innovate and you will always get my Aussie Dollar.

I agree completely and this reviewer needs to be called out for it... Halo 4 is not full of bugs, very well polished and plays just as good if not better than all the previous games. The review score shows how immature the reviwer is... When I eat at a restaurant, I don't like fishy food, but that does not mean I can dismiss ANY fish dish as crap, just because I don't like it. Anyone reading a Halo review, likes or has an interest in Halo. This review falls far short of being informat...

The comments of hate are being spouted out by both sides... The reasons being that everyone is sick and tired of being held responsible for silly things such as textures in a video game, dress code or movies made by amateurs looking for their two minutes of fame. I am non-practicing catholic veering more towards atheism because of the simple fact that religion is proving to be more destructive world wide than anything else.

I am sure I speak on behalf of most of the western w...

I agree and MK had a release with everything for the entire DLC that was developed afterward. Capcom produced and held back content and should be shamed for the gouge. If they acted in good faith, fine... But the slimy greedy Japanese b@$t@rds didn't... Either way you put it all their games are squarely off my radar now. Nobody wants to support this carry on and nobody should. Hari Kari is the only way to redeem themselves.

Fact is these companies make a living from gamers and they should produce exactly what the gamer wants. EA and Capcom not only endanger their bottom line with this DLC gouging but also the industry as a whole. Let's see Microsoft and Sony make a profit when Nintendos attitude is NOT to release a game until it is perfect and their stand on DLC just shows they are producing what gamers deserve. Loyalty is only the colour of money to these companies. As much as I grew up with Streetfighter i...

Surely they have to clearly STATE on the box that a game is incomplete. At least you get a proper endin in Mass Effect 3. Microsoft and Sony should be on top of them for this, except it sounds like Finy have a hand in it buying content to be locked. Capcom should be investigated for breaches by all parties as their software has been released incomplete and patches are essentially being bought as DLC. The sooner southpark do a parody on these C#!TS the better. Shame Capcom, shame!

It draws attention to bad business practices From a US standpoint. It will take a rich gamer to pay for a court case or a Class Action against Capcom and it will be done. The more I think about what they have done the more my blood boils for ever having bought a Capcom game. Unfortunately if we all just take it every other company will just take advantage... Turning gaming into an expensive subscription service. It's bad enough choosing the right platform for a game you want, let alone on...

If Sony paid for the DLC characters for Vita then Sony have not only screwed the competition over but the PS3 owners too. Microsoft have very clear guidelines on this and Capcom are stupid to take all the slack if it was a business decision of Sonys causing all this hassle. DLC should be used to extend a games lifespan but also to extend new sales. Regardless is a shame on Capcom for releasing a product to gouge at a later date.nothing can excuse this greed from a corrupt Japanese company. Fa...

Both Cody and Guy were in trailers before the game released. BBB should impose a very large fine and demand a free unlock for the game. Capcom need to learn this business practice will not be tolerated but also fined very harshly so they won't try it again. A full refund should be offered to all who bought the game and/or a DLC patch. Only in America do companies like Capcom get meaningful fines for bad practices and I hope they are punished for trying to punish the hackers for exposing t...

Yes they did, a Cody and Guy trailer was released. Fact is they should have released it day one as a collectors edition for 10 bucks extra but instead they show their true greedy Japanese colours. The dirty.....!

Go play both and then you will KNOW! Sequels are usually better and thats why it was disappointing. Gears got better every game, mass effect and God of War too. Don't bother replying, sarcy comments and out of context remarks show how immature you are and an obvious fanboy.

Alan wake is a great game, it would sell loads on PS3 and Remedy must have a deal with MS or a really good relationship. Naughty Dog is owned by Sony, Uncharted 3 was a disappointment but Uncharted 2 was a breathj of fresh air. Xbox owners would enjoy Uncharted just as PS3 owners would enjoy Alan Wake. Either way, enough of the fanboy wars, its crteated crap like exclusive DLC and I'd go so far as to say even spawned back post release practices from Greedy companies... not looking at Crap...

You're not 100% correct, you don't own iot but you are entitled to use the full product and when you buy the game it does not STATE that you have not got full access to the product sold. Its a grey area but something a Class Action Lawsuit would sort out. Capcom showed Cody & Guy in a prerelease trailer and I am sure there where others so the just HELD that content back for a gouge. Anyone know how the US/Eur/Asia legals are with this? Objection!!! Sue the greedy unethical Japanes...

Fact is the game is good on both consoles, they just put gamers over a barrel for the DLC, whichever one is better performance wise, neither deserve to sell well for Capcom using unethical practices, falsely promoting the full roster before release and then locking characters on the disc. Mega-Fail Crapcom, ha! I used to have find memories of early Capcom arcade games, now they just remind me how much a greedy Japanese Scam company they have become.

4421d ago 1 agree0 disagreeView comment

Capcom release videos of all the extra characters playing in the game before it's release day, the DLC option to hold characters back is misleading and wrong. Fact is they have been caught out being greedy and if the extra characters were meant to be DLC they would not have made pre-release trailers. Spin another one you shower of unethical $h!te$ Capcom. It's wrong, wrong an no amount of wrangling will ever change this unethical behaviour. A big shame on MicroSoft and Sony for allowi...

Capcom is a festering boil in gaming development... I hope they just go bust. Filthy scum of the earth.
