Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
Times are changing, and these games would have never been made in today's climate.
Every single time someone uses this phrase whether it's music, movies, books, comics, video games, etc it's always the same claim.
The ubiquitous "they" won't allow it to be made. And every decade these claims are made the claimant completely ignores all the "offensive" material that is published when the claim is made.
In ten years, you can write a new article about how you can't make games like Helldivers 2, Resident Evil VIII, Mortal Kombat I, Dragon's Dogma 2, Alan Wake 2 etc etc etc any more.
Dead Island: "The early PC version of the zombie game swapped the playable character Purna’s Gender Wars skill with a prototype name, which shouldn’t be mentioned directly. The skill name made fun of both Purna as a character and feminists."
"Feminist Whore" lmao
ill add one more to the list.

its ridiculous tho, especially since they'd still be able to find their place in alot of places in the world. except america of course ha. and maybe Australia.
ppl are so sensitive these days. ha. but it is what it is.
They're not offensive.
And we need another Fat Princess. Fantastic little game!
Some people just have no sense of humour if this sort of thing offends them. They need to lighten up and stop taking themselves so seriously.
He wants to launch all his projects initially through close beta.
let me tell you something. Epic was able to make sure that the UE3 engine was able to be optimized on PS3. Now why is that? well thats because they created the engine, so they know more than anyone else. not to mention sony went to them and payed them to make sure that the engine runs on the PS3.
EA is porting this game to PS3, and its going to be an Epic Failure. Why? because they dont know how to get this code working on the PS3. they dont know the ins and outs of the Source Engine, Valve Knows. But Valve doesnt give a Rats A** about the PS3, so they are not going to optimize the engine on the PS3. if valve at least tried to optimize, then it wouldnt be such a problem. be very happy that the majority of Developers are not using this as their default middleware engine.
EA is going to Have to explain themselves on why they are porting this game. They know how pissed PS3 owners were with the Epic Failure of the Orange Box on PS3. They know that their Biggest source of Income Generated came from the PS3 in the last few months, they know that if they blow this, they're in for another Roasting by PS3 owners.
I fear for the PS3 owners sanity with EA ports at this point. Does EA REALLY think ANYONE is going to buy their crap after Orange Box?
is that someone ACTUALLY LIKES EA. Has hell frozen over?
I equate this to Duke Nukem release this. I ain't believing it till I see it. Meaning, I ain't believing a proper port on the PS3 by money grubbing EA until I see it and i get a second, third, nth opinion. There's a saying from North Carolina...might be from Texas, but I'm sure it's from North Carolina.
Fool me once, shame...shame on you.
Fool me once ain't happening again.

I love Orange Box (but hate Valve and their attitude. Thank god they have some talent).
I must've gotten a near perfect version of the port because I REALLY don't see how it's so bad. There's slowdown in EP2 when there's tons of stuff on screen and that's it. When I play, I don't think, "Oh! Load times are 1-2 seconds faster on PC, guess the game's unplayable on my PS3."
And does anyone else find this statement UTTERLY RIDICULOUS?
"a Xbox 360 or PC exclusive"
It's either an exclusive (on ONE SINGLE SOLE LONELY platform), or its multiplatform. Left 4 Dead, like Bioshock was multiplatform before the PS3 port.
