    Mad Max Won't be Set in Australia

    Setting not important? Pff, I'm not buying it. Clearly just using the Mad Max brand to shift units for a shitty generic-as-piss post-apocalypse game. Fuck that noise.

    A Link Between Worlds Is Not a Sequel, But Not a Remake Either

    Then what was the fucking point!? Is it too hard to ask that we just follow one Link for a couple sequels so I actually feel a motivation to get immersed and emotionally attached? Is it too much to ask that you don't ride on the success and long established love of "A Link to the Past" to push...

    Metal Gear Solid V to Feature Episodic Missions

    Umm, am I the only one that played the Metal Gear games because they were the way they were? I kinda liked them because they were very distinct and did things in their own way. As everyone is saying, this is starting to look more and more like... every other game on the market. And the voices...

    Metal Gear Solid V Goes Mature In New Red Band Trailer

    The gameplay looks like an improvement, crawling is much faster, running and jumping have a use now. It all looks far more fluid and dynamic. First issue is that it really doesn't feel like Metal Gear anymore, more like Assassin's Creed if Assassin's Creed wasn't shite. But that aside, onto more...

    Dying Light Zombie Parkour Trailer Wishes You Good Luck

    Ukomba got there first, but it bears mentioning again. Taser Wrench. Seriously!? Seriously. I'm done. I'm so sick and fucking tired of games, specifically zombie games, that take themselves so damned seriously, take the time to establish a realistic setting and emotive characters, only to throw...

    Metal Gear Solid V Casts Kiefer Sutherland as Snake

    So Kojima wants to change the voice actor? Fine. Sure. Wonderful. Fuck it, why not! It's a fucking stupid idea, but have at it, see how far it gets you. My objections really start to rise when you look at the treatment, not of the character, but of David Hayter as a person. From what I'm...

    Sony and Lego Team Up To Put Videogame Tech Into Lego Bricks

    It's really nice to see these larger companies actually make use of their R&D budgets in interesting and new ways. Personally, if they're going to partner with Sony I'd also like to see some Sony characters appear in Lego sets as well. But as someone who is quite fascinated by robotics and...

    ARAIG Gaming Suit is "As Real as it Gets"

    I don't think anyone's raised the single biggest issue that exists with this yet. Compatibility. Will this product actually function out-of-the-box with currently existing games? Because from what I'm aware, most games only very loosely track hit locations, and I don't think the game would...

    The worst and most pointless weapon in any game.

    The knife in Resident Evil 0. I'm thinking specifically of the Hard difficulty here, but I distinctly remember that it's basically impossible to kill an enemy with it without being hit yourself(I know people have done knife runs, but most of those are fucking masochists, your average person just...

    Is Cinematic Approach to Games a valid excuse for poor game design ? (RE6 spoilers)

    You've nailed it right on the head, sir. I quite like cinematic gameplay, but it has to be given so much attention and time in order to get it right, and those are two things that certainly did not go into Resident Evil 6's development. Hopefully Capcom's suggestion for a Resident Evil reboot...

    iOS Developer Takes Survival Horror Title To Wii U

    Looks promising enough, hope it turns out good. As for everyone saying "I doubt it'll make anyone buy a Wii U," it's not supposed to, it's just supposed to beef up their game library and offer something for people to play while they wait for larger releases.

    The Evil Within Screenshots Contained Within

    For the love of god, please tell me this will have a populated overworld where we can interact with people between horror sections(kinda like Deadly Premonition, but without the Twin Peaks). That's the vibe I'm catching off of the first screenshot (or I could just be getting ahead of myself)...

    Why do we have this system? (gun swapping)

    It's worth mentioning (don't know if someone beat me to it, sorry if they did) that there are those of us that are happy to have any number of guns available, so long as it can be explained where they're being stored. Metal Gear was a little goofy with their excuse, but essentially spare weapons...

    Indie RPG Takes Inspiration From PS1 Games

    I'm getting some vicious Pokemon Colosseum vibes off of this project. Also, really like where they're going with the musical direction, clean that shit up and I'd happily buy an OST disk, all in all I'm welcoming this with open arms, PS1 era RPGs are some of my favourite games (gotta love dem...

    Capcom Wants to Cut Ties With The West, Increase DLC

    I've been waiting five years to play a Monster Hunter MMO, it'll be worth it. (It won't, I'm already crying inside at the thought of having to pay $30 to craft Rathalos armour)
