You should have a little more faith in crytek. I don't believe the PC version will be "gimped" because of the console versions, and I don't believe that the PS3 version will be "gimped" by 360. There's a lot more parity between the systems that people give them credit for, and crytek is a pretty brilliant developer. I have no reason to believe that they have not maximized the potential of both consoles and the PC. These images, if they haven't been significantly altered, c...

You really have no point.

Obviously blu-ray is in the same family of storage media as DVD, just as DVD is in the same family as CD. Would you say that DVD isn't a significant improvement over CD? Should the 360 just be running off of CD's? If so, then you can stick to your guns, but the real question is why not choose bluray? The point of any "next gen" storage media is to have two things, more capacity and ideally improved read speed. Unfortunately blu-ray sacrifices s...

PSP stands for Playstation Portable right. PSP Portable would stand for Playstation Portable Portable.

They'll release the PSP2 and the PSPhone.

"Apple developing products to compete with Sony." Sony was in the portable digital media business long before apple ever was, and was in fact it's king for at least a day or two. Apple, samsung and a few other companies jumped in the market and took the mantel from Sony, Sony's just trying to gain it back.

I know, I know, the article really means to say that sony is reorganizing it's portable network products so as to compete more directly and effectively with advanceme...

Why haven't the illuminati been in a game before? The Illuminati are a huge part of popular culture and have been the source of a lot of fascinating fiction, making them a part of history. Oh wait, the illuminati have been in a video game before, a very popular video game: Assassin's Creed. Yeah, that's kind of the plot of that game too. The templars are a form of the illuminati. In fact, they might even have called themselves that at some point in the game; I can't recall. I'm also pretty ce...

Well, I suppose I can accept that you rescinded what you said. Perhaps you're not as much of a douchebag as I once thought, perhaps not at all. I did in fact lose a bubble for calling you so many douchebags, but the people who would take that bubble are clearly the douchebags who I meant to offend anyway, so it was worth it.

I'm just sick of this fanboy nonsense. I was flat out livid when I read the HR spoiler, and the suggestion that someone would continue to do that same thing...

You made a douchebag statement. You got mad at some other people for being douchebags, but then you go and say you're planning to do the same douchebag crap. If someone pooped on you car, would you poop on their car to get them back? That's just nasty!!! If you hate douchebags, then don't become one. People who agreed with you didn't give you bubbles because, though they too may be douchebags, they know your comment wasn't bubble worthy, but the people who disagreed realized that your comment...

Is that he really just hates this game because he doesn't understand what happened.

The one major plot hole is that the blackouts are not explained.

As for the actions of the origami killer, those are the result of Self Sabotage because he realizes that he's found what he's been looking for. Jim's research on Sociopathy is very poor. Sociopaths do not necessarily have no emotion, and the ones who actually don't feel for other people still have to rehearse emotional t...

This'll prolly be corrected if the article gets approved, but the 3th, really? Is that supposed to mean the Thirth or the Threeth? It's 3rd, my friend, 3rd.

Anyway, I've been waiting on this game for too long. There are too many games this year. I think 2010 is going to be way better than 2009, and 2009 was HUGE!!!!

You fail... There are a bunch of publishers you just don't even mention.

The big three third party publishers are Activision, EA & Ubisoft (they are the ones who have huge keynote conferences at every game convention aside from the first party publishers). SE isn't nearly as big as Ubisoft. Then you just totally over look all the other big publishers: Bethesda/Zenimax, Take2, Konami, Capcom, Sega, THQ, Namco, Atari, Atlus. Granted, I don't think it was likely Atari, Atlus or ...

This wouldn't be a surprise at all, it would be a very obvious fact. I'm looking forward to this game, but if this is the surprise, I'll be disappointed only because everyone already knew this game was coming out this year. I was under the impression that the surprise would be a first party game, Insomniac is second party. Also, this rumor says that R3 is to be announced Friday, but Geoff said that the other surprise would be revealed Thursday. I wouldn't be surprised if Sony actually leaked ...

Don't be a douchebag, douchebag. Just because someone was a douche to you, doesn't mean you should be a douche back. I was just as pissed as you are that the end of heavy rain was ruined for me, but don't start a stupid eye for an eye war or else it's just going to bite you, and everyone else on your side, in the ass. I'm sick of gamers being douchebags instead of being gamers. Besides, the end of Reach and Alan Wake won't be as important as the end of Heavy Rain, becau...

Let's be honest. You wouldn't have posted this article at a time when in fact "all the great PS3 titles [] have come out recently or are hitting in the near future" unless you meant to flame bait. Not only are you supposedly a journalist, but you read comments & respond to them. Don't pretend like you didn't know this would be the reaction or that this wasn't the reaction you specifically intended to provoke.

Being even more honest, fanboyism in the gaming industry...

There were already twenty articles that clearly explained how the problem got fixed. Do the writers at the guardian even do research?

GOWIII isn't even out yet. Reach will also be a major contender, as will GT5. I still think that many companies of some games up their sleeves which may surprise us all. Honestly, if Uncharted weren't as good as it was, Batman might have been slated to take down some awards. Also, don't forget that Demon's Souls got a GOTY from at least one site. This year is likely to be more split. Problem is, games that come out at the start of the year are always a little less likely to make it. New Vegas...

But GOWIII is definitely going to be the system seller of the first half of the year. Sony needs to get some TV advertising out before hand though, really build the anticipation. I can't wait to see the TV spots, they've been on a role lately, and I know they'll just hit this one out of the park.

Not sure if this is against the posting rules, so if you have to delete it, please don't ban me mods.

Here's why this article is wrong for the most part. Feel free to repost this to Games Radar, since I'm not gonna create an account to post it there. Clearly, I've been waiting for a chance to break down these rampant plot hole claims.

Hence the quotation marks and explanation. One would make a "sequel", but one that largely disregards or recaps the original story so as to reintroduce fans and reinvigorate the series.

Also, FFVII does not have prequels, and the sequel is a movie, not a game. You are aware that each Final Fantasy game is distinct right? They are in different worlds entirely, with only certain key elements being alike. That's why the series has gone on forever.

What's mos...

Your comments generally come off with a hint pretentiousness, I'm alarmed you would admit to that. Then again, I should have figured that being farcically knowledgeable about the gaming industry obviously doesn't equate in anyway to a measure of worldliness. I don't really blame you for not knowing, but I really don't understand why you'd flaunt that kind of ignorance. It's really just crude. If someone said they had to look up USA, UK, AU, CA or wherever you're from how would you feel about ...

It seems that it's become so expected that this game will or should get a high review, people don't even comment on them. But as soon as someone (mostly Bungie) posts a low one, the article rockets to 1000 degrees in minutes.

If you don't like the poor reviews, then why are you giving them so much attention? Give the attention to the positive reviews that deserve it.
