Shane and Pachter, i mean couldnt they pick someone worste than those two?
One is 360 fanboy wiht his head up his a22, other is complete idiot that know NOTHING about games.
And how can anyone pick COD5 over R2? Game isnt even made by infinity ward, i will tell you who, Fanboys!

MAR-TYR-DOM5684d ago (Edited 5684d ago )

I got a sense that some ppl had some of m$ money up their asses. Classifying people who own ps3 as hi def people and not "hardcore enough" just proves your retarded Patcher. Then using that excuse to justify why resistance 2 isnt going to be as good as gears just make you *insert derogatory word*

Then "predicting" (funny how its patcher) that gears2 will be marketed bigger than halo 3 (even though the game is a month away and i don't sense any hype) and move X360's is just a classic prediction. We know its going to be wrong! And we heard the stupid ps2 argument again, lol that never get old. "60 million ps2 owners who still havent bought next gen console?" Where the #$#% do you get these numbers!?!?

both the GT editor and patcher were dismissing R2 as "Just another shooter" wtf is gears2 and cod5? there just as generic and their predecessors. If anything R2 has made the most improvement as a sequel of any of the mentioned games. GT as a whole seems quite biased towards the 360. I got that impressions many times before and this show just reinforced that notion!

We already know what that they will review Gears 2 high and probably higher than Resistance 2 as Jeff already said "9, 9.5 or even a 10 for gears" There main editor Shane also seems like he has never touched a ps3 so that tells you all you need to know about what types of reviews will be coming out for ps3 games. Take 8.7 for mgs4 story lol!

I'd like to end of by saying, No identity for Resistance 2? I'll give you one, how about
SHOOTER OF THE YEAR 2008

Hooded Vendetta5684d ago

No matter which console you have, Its on of the best years in a longtime :D

Cant wait for some of these titles.

Premonition5683d ago

Boy I hope Resistance 2 proves these guys wrong, what does resistance 2 have to do with casuals? how come they didnt talk about Gears of war 2 for casual gamers, cause its not, and nither is Resistance 2, I believe both will sell well, and wtf is up with patcher saying Blu ray will move 360 fans over, this guy needs to retire and leave the NPD predictions to a Pre-K kid.

thenickel5683d ago

That was actually a good show.

dwjohnson0112115683d ago (Edited 5683d ago )

[SONY DEFENSE FORCE ACTIVATE]

R2 has a massive feature set but nothing that really stands out or has an identity of it's own.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Even resident SONy fanboy Shane Shatterfield admit's if their's one game worth sixty dollars this year it is without a doubt Gears of War 2.

MAR-TYR-DOM5683d ago

are a tard. Shane a sony fanboy? He oversaw the MGS4 review and time and time again shown how much he loves the 360.

ReaperXL75683d ago

If anything it won't even be a Hardcore title, As of right now, LBP has had so many people going nuts, and crashing websites just to play the beta I can only imagine whats going to happen when the game is released.

I don't think I have heard any game coming out that is getting anywhere near the amount of hype LBP is getting, I've seen 3 different commercials on tv for it, wal-mart, amazon, gamestop, all have their own commercials for the game, G4 had an all LBP special, hell there are even Billboards for the game.

Who knows, maybe i'm going to be wrong, but I can see a huge launch for Sackboy, all they need now is to cash in on the Plushies.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

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."

ChasterMies2d ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken2d ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing693d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker3d ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing693d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt2d ago

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.

just_looken2d ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

Now is the Best Time to Get This Incredible RPG Bundle on Steam

If you are looking for an awesome RPG, look no further. Steam is offering a significant discount on its Fallout Franchise Bundle.

SimpleSlave3d ago

"You can get all Fallout games in a bundle at a significant 20% discount on Steam. Individually, all these games add up to $244.91. With the discount, you can get them all for $195.91. That is $49 less than the original price. Quite a significant discount for such a popular franchise."

😊 😂 🤣 😐 - But why?

Just wait for a sale and get most if not all of it for a fraction of that price.

20% off...lol

Tacoboto3d ago

The games were just on a real sale over the last week or two for the show promotion. Fallout 4 was $10, 3 was $5, NV was cheap as heck too.

So what the heck is this

Inverno3d ago

The original games have been given out for free by Amazon for GOG and Epic, 76 is free now on Amazon if you have prime, Epic has also given out new Vegas for free and 4 has gone down to pretty cheap prices. 194 bucks is a total ripoff when you can get these games individually for less. Don't forget cd keys might sell em for a dollar less at times too. Come on man, us cheapskates won't touch anything near or above 100 lolz

isarai3d ago

Bro that's a ridiculous ripoff are you kidding me? 🤣

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

anast5d ago

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood5d ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK4d ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast4d ago

The game went downhill at Fallout 3's release. This is when they started to cut corners.

gold_drake4d ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.

anast4d ago

Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.

I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.

Armaggedon4d ago

Not all games “look” current.

anast4d ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.

Armaggedon3d ago

Yeah, but thats not the result of laziness, incompetence, or a bad engine. Thats what happens with their type of open world games. Its hard for people to find a point of comparison because no one makes games like Bethesda does.

gold_drake3d ago

mh ok thanks, i still think ur wrong in this mate.

anast3d ago

No problem. I'm not here to convince you. I'm only stating an actuality. What your words do if we look at them like events.
