Here's something to think about: I can't play Portal, TF2, L4D2, Half-Life 2, etc without having Steam 'forced' on me.
Why are there double-standards for EA requiring their own service, but Valve doing the same thing is good?

Well, I think that pretty much disproves the article...
Incredibly unlikely, but I would love a new Jet Set Radio so very much...
Yeah, nothing against the games I mentioned, just interesting that studios don't seem keen to truly begin any new series, trilogies or story arcs at this point, but still need to release something so it's falling to spin-offs instead.
As good as Judgement is, I feel like this along with Ascension are pretty good indicators that this generation has gone on too long...
It's always safest to launch new IPs at the beginning of a new generation so they can get enough attention to make a full franchise.
With the sequels, prequels (God of War Asension), spin-offs (Judgement) and reboots (DmC, Tomb Raider) in the past year, it does seem like publishers are struggling to fill the gap before the...
Yep, I use it a ton for my 360 and for Android. I find just generally browsing a lot of content and particularly searching with text is much faster on a PC than on the device itself.
I always found that weird that you can buy games through the PS web store yet you still need to turn on your PS3, go to account management, go to download list, select to download, select to download in background, go to next item, repeat.
@fr0sty - "Not all people enjoy seeing a dude making out with another dude, whereas there aren't many who would say they're grossed out by seeing a dude with a chick. It isn't even a homophobia issue, some people just don't like to see certain things, and I can't say they should be held at fault. It's just a matter of personal taste, and the majority happens to favor that taste."
The majority have also made Call of Duty the biggest selling se...
I've got to ask - how do you know Master Chief isn't gay?
I haven't read the books so I don't know if anything's in there, but I didn't see any romance either way in the Halo games. The relationship with Cortana seemed more platonic.
The thing is, the same question could be raised for all games that present straight romance in them. As far as I'm aware there's yet to be a protagonist in a game defined as gay (ie: not one where the choice is given), whereas RPGs, JRPGs, action and adventure games frequently feature a protagonist with straight romance presented in the story (Assassin's Creed 2, The Witcher, GTA, etc).
I don't see why the sexuality of the protagonist would affect whether you ...
...You realise Riccitello was the one that gave the green light to Mirror's Edge, right?
NateCole - You might need to read it again - I never claimed they were unpopular; just comparatively not as high-selling as Sony's other franchises.
However, as I noted hopefully being launch titles will push them up there with the others in terms of sales.
Infamous is actually my favourite franchise from Sony so I personally hope to see it rewarded with the same sales and marketing push as Uncharted and God of War.
Relientk77 - Whoops, should be God of War!
That's what you get when only 4 letters separates two of the biggest franchises. :P
Grap - really? Have you attended their board meetings and worked in their studios? Do you have any idea what their day-to-day job is like, or are you just making your own assumptions?
I know people in both companies. I know someone who is worked to the bone in Ubisoft, and someone who loves their job at EA (at Maxis specifically).
Developers switch between studios very frequently. There are people at Bungie who worked at Naughty Dog and vice versa. There are ...
Actually, comapred to Sony's other IPs they haven't had the same sales success that Uncharted, Gears of War or even LittleBigPlanet have.
Just had a look on vgchartz (yeah, not totally accurate but the best estimate you can access quickly) and their numbers are:
Killzone 2 - 2.88 million
Killzone 3 - 2.42
Infamous 1 - 2.57
Infamous 2 - 1.54
That's compared to:
Uncharted 2 - 6.11 million
Unch...
Sooo...what does that have to do with this sale?
You could say the same about Sony and UMD (remember UMD movies and UMD music, and how we were going to get dedicated portable and home UMD players?), or Memory Stick (their phones and cameras now support SD since they couldn't compete on price) or Betamax (died off as a consumer format in favour of VHS).
All companies have released unpopular products at some point and gone back to the drawing board. It's called business.
With Zune Microsoft abandoned...
I own a Vita with the same US account across both Vita and PS3 and am a PS Plus member but didn't get it...
Might just be completely random.
I have 2 x 32gb cards (one for full games, and the other for PSN, PSP, PSone and demos).
I wish at the very least it would automatically sort by alphabetical order unless you've rearranged stuff yourself. Anything would be better than the random jumble it has be default and every time I switch cards.
My other wish would be for the memory cards to be MUCH faster, particularly for the price Sony is demanding. It takes forever to transfer content to and from...
@kB0 - That's true, but the importance of response time is game-dependent. As Killzone has always used more weighted movement, the slightly lower response time is not as important as, say, StreetFighter.
As for Forza Horizon vs 60fps Forzas, as you said it's noticable if you line them up side by side. I don't tend to play with 2 TVs side by side however, and it doesn't affect playability.
I think many people have just come to equate the typica...
Interested, but going to have to wait until release to see how the PC version holds up. I had way too many weird issues running the first one (particularly excessive screen tearing and strange stuttering whenever I moved the mouse).
