This whole topic should be called Legends of the Fall.

Just finished reading a small dictionary of architecture (what can I say, it's instructive and convenient to read during 5-10 minutes bus travels), andSnow White, a pretty brilliant play by early 20th century swiss authorRobert Walser(a genius). It's set after the events that lead to the tale...

I still don't see it. I am convinced that a good VR headset could provide a great gaming experience, but I am also convinced that it simply cannot be anything else than a niche of the video game market. Why? Because it is too extreme an experience, too removing, making it socially difficult...

If porn was defined as 'something you can masturbate to' pretty much everything would be porn for at least a small group of people.

Huh? What happened there? The only scenario I can think of is that you had a mod'ed PS1 and that improved region locking down the road made the mod no longer work.

I doubt titillation is the goal of Von Trier.

In the streamers' defense, 'playroom' sounds like an inviting euphemism.

I don't know the specifics for Madden, but if the match-making uses latency as a factor, a bigger user base should help getting more often matched with people closer to you. That being said, the latest Madden sold only about 25% more on X360 than on PS3. The older the editions the bigger the gap...

Romancing the Stone

It would be tough to make it work. At least if you want to preserve the mood, pace and narrative style of the game.

For reference, the 1+ million XB1 sales happened in the following 13 countries: Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Spain, United Kingdom, United States and New Zealand. Note that Australia and the UK were strong Xbox 360 territories.

Bummer, but a good reason.

IGN has all the luck because one of their XB1 has this issue. Conspiracy theorist will say that they got so much hits from the PS4 issue that claiming to have a problem with an XB1 would make business sense!

What am I looking at?

Do you use your PC to play old or non-demanding games or just don't game?

Looking at the early number, I see the PC data will be a bit shitty because someone already chose both 'own one' and 'upgrade soon' which kinda makes sense considering with PC gaming there is a big gap between the power needed by the games and the power available with high end hardware.

I made a new poll to see where we stand now that all three consoles are out:The new Gen has started: Where do you stand?

The poll in the PC vs PS4 vs XB1 thread was created months ago and now the consoles are here, so I thought we could do a fresh census. Handhelds are not included, and I'll let you decide in your heart of heart what a "current gaming PC" is (for me: able to decently play current AAA releases)...

Great thriller with a very efficient contextualization of the events. The final few minutes shall earn Hanks some more well deserved awards for his cabinet. Greenglass' nervous filming maintained the tension, but this is no Bourne Ultimatum where every action scene had amazing use of space and...

The only problem with a Japanese PSN account from abroad is that you can't use a credit card, so you must order store credits from PlayAsia or some similar import shop which adds to the costs (at least that's how it worked a couple years back when I bought Suda 51's The Silver Case that was in...

I just saw an ad for Ryse on TV. I am not sure what went through their mind, because the first half is cheap live action and the second half is from cut scenes with a big "not actual gameplay" banner at the bottom. Why would you do that when you have a game that is praised unanimously for its...

Only the PS4 is skewed!

On the 'how to play fps with a controller' tutorial, I would like to add that people not used to analog sticks tend to treat them like they are analog in direction and digital in amplitude. What I mean by that, is that they only use the extreme of the range of movement of the stick. Key to...

I expect a similar failure rate for the XB1, but significantly lower sales, resulting in significantly less reports of DOA consoles.

I checked the Zero Punctuation for AC4 the other day and that must have been the most positive review I ever heard from him. The only negative points I can remember are him not liking tailing missions and fearing Ubi will make Assassin's Creed games for all eternity.

I think I would choose a classic book that I had to read during school and that I did not enjoy because I was too young, too dumb and forced to read it, leaving a sour taste in my mouth that prevents me to try to re-read it. Which one though? Maybe C?line's Journey to the End of the Night...

I suggestThe Long Price Quartetby Daniel Abraham. Fantasy with an original take on magic and a very subtle and clever plot. It's in 4 volumes too, so it's not like a gigantic commitment. I also must recommend a short read (both in size and because it's impossible to drop the book once you...

The Deadwood first episode must not be that great because it did not make me watch the show past that. I am not saying the show is bad or anything like that, but the subject matter did not do it for me (not much into western) and the fact it was a muddy sausage fest did not help either (watched...

@Abefroman: Isn't he saying the opposite of what you were saying he was saying... or am I confused by this whole topic? Anyway, as mentioned earlier, every single media outlet in the known universe relaying the fact they sold more than a million units in 24 hours in north america should take...

Especially in a context where the XB1 has supposedly problems to manufacture consoles in big quantities. Sony will try to get as many sells as possible on the back of an XB1 shortage.

In what way?

In the translators' defense, subtitles are sometimes done without seeing the movie (which is retarded, but that's not the translator's fault!). In your Star Wars example though, it could have been fixed at some point! For the LOTR movie, the translator has another problem: the books have been...

On the flip side, they have been trying to do voice command for 5 years and it's still like using a remote controller with croaking batteries.

There are sound issues. Some surround formats are not supported and reduced to stereo when they go through the XB1. An automatic no-no for people with home cinemas. Might be patched sometime in the future though...

People were not too happy the other day when the south americans in Homeland talked in spanish without subtitles (found it great personally, especially in the context of the episode). That being said... didn't we have some chinese people speaking in mandarin a few episodes back in Agents of...

I enjoyed the episode. The light tie-in with Thor was ok (a cameo was probably too much to ask), we got some Ward background and the twist managed to surprise me. I agree that the antagonist did just about jack and shit, but they are not the subject of the show: the team is. I found Chloe Bennet...

This is fake btw. The Kotaku verdict is "Not Yet" because of the number of features that are not yet or poorly implemented. Note that the Kotaku verdict for the PS4 was also "Not Yet", but because of the launch line-up.
