A significantly better way of approaching the subject then we've seen in the past, for sure, and if the game is always online in a "we want this to be a connected experience" way and not a "what if you're a thief huh what about that we have to always be checking" way then perhaps it's fine that...

This is really cool, and especially great considering the number of people in comments of stories about the OKCupid thing saying "Well, not using Mozilla isn't going to change anything, what's the point?"

What a timely joke.

My question is, is this "backwards compatibility" of the sort that only lets you play download titles? Or proper backwards compatibility, where I can pop my copy of, say... Kingdom Hearts into my PS4 and play it off disc? Either is awesome, mind, but the latter is what would really push me...

For a company that claims to value the consumer, they sure seem to dislike the idea of us owning video games and doing things people normally do with things they own. Y'know, like returning a game if it turns out to be shit, which is increasingly becoming the case with new releases on Steam...

Every time I hear something about the stock market, the more it's hard to avoid the feeling that it's stupid. They've made record sales on games, and their revenues are through the roof, but the value of their stock went down because their revenue didn't go far enough through the roof. If...

It seems a bit hypocritical for someone who neglected his children while making movies to be complaining that the industry has too many people who don't pay attention to people. But yeah, it could be a problem that creators are out of touch... but Otaku by the typical American definition...

Is it cross-buy? Or do you have to buy copies for the two systems separately?

You haven't even seen the Botique in Lumiose yet. 250,000 pokemon fun bux, down the drain from a shirt and a bag.

I'm pretty sure he's only saying power doesn't matter because the Xbox One isn't as technically powerful as the PS4. If the Xbox One had better specs, they'd be all over how that makes them better than the PS4. He is correct, though. The winner should (and hopefully will) be determined by...

To clarify, the backer in question is from South America, where they use commas instead of periods to denote the change from dollars to cents (as do a lot of non-USA countries). IE, Ninety Five dollars and Zero cents would be written as 95,00. When the backer in question put that into...

Well, that's a bit hyperbolic considering how little we know, isn't it?

If accents were an issue, the thing wouldn't be supported in the UK at launch. Have you heard a Scouser accent? Sheesh. Seriously though, this is pretty bad. I mean, 5 countries? It's the 'future' of video games, but one of the things you're touting, voice control, is only gonna work in 5...

Fantastic article, Mr. Rath. The more I read, the more I got disgusted with how the media didn't care about how the family was dealing with it, and tried to use someone's death to push their own agenda. It was handled poorly at just about every level, from the officers who made the baffling...

The ability to skip trainer battles might just be part of the demo, though. Asking people if the want to battle every time someone tries to fight them seems like it would be a huge hassle, especially on routes where there are a lot of trainers. Of course, that doesn't mean the ability to decline...
