As someone who follows the FGC, the DOA games have always been as popular as Tekken and Virtual Fighter. The difference is that Tekken is at the top of the mountain in terms of tournament backing and ...

Microsoft is all over the place. They don't know what they want to do. They never recovered from the hit they took with the Xbox One debacle, and they have been slowly sinking ever since. I would comp...

It's funny, because I tried to play Killzone 3, but couldn't. The gameplay was too sluggish for my taste. I never played Killzone 1 or 2, but I watched Lets Plays of them. But I did get and played Kil...

This is nothing new. Women and people of color have been harassed in online gaming since Xbox Live became a thing decades ago. It got to the point that the whole thing about the bratty white kid spewi...

@bigsocrates said:@allthedinos: I actually meant that the people who use the Amico Reddit to hate on it are like Steelers fans reliving their glory days. They rehash things that Tommy said and old At...

@thepanzini: Glad it worked out for them, but I also noticed how the article ends with Insomiac pretty much saying "whoa we need to slow down some. No major releases anytime soon". Hope 2025 is anothe...

Yeah, the issue isn't the tech. The tech today is easier than it has ever been for developers to use. The issue is publishers they work for wanting bigger and bolder games to compete in the AAA space,...

Yeah, we knew Sony was going to go about this whole Helldivers 2 thing in a bitter way after what happened. Instead of the big time guys doing the right thing, they find ways to be petty and screw pe...

Overall, it's looking like gaming has gotten too big and too costly to sustain. And the fact a lot of corpo sharks are now running many aspects of the business, certainly doesn't help. Are we in for a...

This is mainly the reasons Nintendo is still doing so well, despite having an underperforming console compared to the rest this generation. They still make excellent first party games you don't get a...

Jeff Gerstmann and other gaming developers are pretty much echoing what I said in the beginning. The lesson is not to sell your developer studio to a big time publisher if you can help it. Sometimes a...

Microsoft killing the studio that did Hi-Fi Rush right now is number one with a bullet for me. It's going to have to take something else catastrophic to replace that... but the year is still young.

Spencer is proof how much charm and charisma can go a long way. Everyone by this point knows he is not fit for the job of running the Xbox division at Microsoft, and perhaps never was. But he comes a...

Hopefully, it's a holiday release. The only thing I want from Nintendo is a more powerful Switch that is fully backwards compatible with the current Switch. No BS where you have to buy the exclusive ...

@ben_h: Yeah, this is pretty much what I was trying to say. Like I've said many times before, if it wasn't for the indie scene, gaming would be dead today.

@bigsocrates: Yeah, I mostly agree. It just sucks all around.

It seems like the lesson with all of this, is these developers quick to cash out to big time publishers don't seem to work out in the long run. One of the go to examples of course is Bioware and how ...

Glad to see that uprising from the gamers can still make a difference. All hope is not lost. But let's see what happens in the future.

I actually second Erica. I don't remember much about the characters and the storyline at all. All I remember is later in the game you have to go through an underground cave that is also a secret lab...

I played Little Hope thanks to PS Plus, which has all except the latest Dark Pictures game on it so far. Sadly, I was a victim of the game breaking bug, where the game crashed near the end of the stor...
