Epic

My 360 assaulted me last night. Who here has a normal (not slim) 360? Put it upright and feel a long the top edge where the faceplate clips on. It's sharp and it ripped my finger open.

Well you're not supposed to handle the machine like a fucking ogre.

I dig the new Wii U boxes, as long as they come in blue cases they will look nice. Better than the boring Wii boxes.

Devil May Cry and Bayonetta designer, Hideki Kamiya has criticised Sony's PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale for being "a rip-off".




No-doubt referencing similarities to Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. series, the Platinum veteran said this weekend Sony's own character beat-em-up lacked "morals".


Asked by a fan on Twitter if he was looking forward to PlaySation All-Stars, Kamiya responded: "No. I don't like that game."




Pressed for explanation, he later tweeted: "It's just a rip-off... I don't like rip-off."




One All-Stars fan defended the title in a tweet to the designer, arguing that Sony's simply "listening to fans" and "following a successful series". Kamiya responded: "And throw[ing] morals away. Great."

I now like Kamiya like 10 times as much as I did before.

I don't think I'm going to upgrade to Windows 8....what's the point? Game developers seem to hate it so I doubt its going to be required.

"To watch or play a fight in Persona 4 Arena is to behold the impossible."

Don't give them ideas. These assholes will just port old crap for 5 years.

But I would like to have them on the Wii U, especially the newer games.

Humongous change in graphics not the focus for next-gen

Videogamer said:

Next-generation consoles won't provide as much of a graphical leap as previous generations have, THQ suggests.

THQ's CEO Brian Farrell has suggested that next-generation consoles won't provide as much of a graphical leap as previous generations have, saying that the focus of next-generation hardware is to develop "opportunities in different types of business... rather than a humongous change in the foundation of 3D graphics".

"I think if you look at what's been happening on the PC, the generational change, if you will, as we've moved from DX10 to DX11 hasn't been, to a certain extent, the same impact that previous ones had," said Farrell, replying to a question about rising development costs on next-generation hardware.



"Certainly, when you went from 2D to 3D many, many years ago at the beginning of the PlayStation era, that was a major leap and costs went up significantly. As processors got extremely complex to try to get more and more graphics prowess out of the hardware, the PlayStation 2 jumped with also a massive change.

"I think the transition we're looking at in hardware right now is somewhat different. I think the transition is much more kind of focused around opportunities in different types of business -- different types of distribution, different types of business models, a lot more online, a lot more ability to track and relate to the consumer and things like that rather than a humongous change in the foundation of 3D graphics. So I don't expect costs to jump like they have in the past as we move forward."



Farrell's comments follow those of Mark Rein, who told VideoGamer.com last month that Epic was happy to wait for a 'massive leap' in next-generation console performance.



"[Next gen] is going to come out whenever it comes out," he told us, "and again, the whole do it right versus right now thing, I'd much rather get a massive leap in performance and capabilities than get something today."



Neither Sony or Microsoft have announced their plans for the next-generation.



Microsoft confirmed last night that it was developing a "new Xbox".
