Look, apart from Gears and Portal 2 (which I’ll get on the PC anyway) it is a bit sad that MS biggest news is getting a game which is on the PS3.

and that isn’t a fanboy talking, thats someone who watched the MS E3 conf.

*bleeding eyes*

And the rest of this boring conference was showing copies of ideas from Sony, Nintendo and Apple!

Finger in the wall and all that.

Wouldn’t that require them to have eeeked out at least a minor bit of success with the PS3 in the first place?

120 post in 4 hours. You at least can’t deny this is big news on the interwebs right now. *laughs*

morriss, I expect a meal and a night of dancing before getting horizontal with you. I’m not like your other cheap floozies.

The reason this sort of announcement isn’t so big any more is because the user bases they are going for are much bigger and full of people who don’t give a toss about some strange Japanese RPG. Take a look at the BBC. They aren’t even reporting this “megaton”. They are reporting on the push for the mainstream and have a pic of LBP at the top of the page.

It’s big to the hardcore of gamers, but in the grander scheme of things it’s not going to have that massive an impact.

I don’t need to know or care what your job is or what it entails. It’s my divine right as visitor of this site to comment on its content as I see fit. I am not required to be qualified in the same skills as you are, nor to be experienced or familiar with your profession in order to pass damning critique should I wish to. I’m not here because I’m one of your chums that’ll make a sarcastic comment in your favour to patch any cracks in a fractured ego.

I do it because I have an opinion and I have the means to express it. It would be a cushy number if I could earn money doing that. It’s probably even better than getting paid to sit around and play games for a living.

The result are back in morriss. Your sense of humour bypass was a resounding success.

I’m happy anyway, I’ve been writing since 8am and don’t seem to be able to stop pushing the keys on my keyboard…..

In fact, please tell me what my job is as you seem to know much better than I what it is and how it should be done.

I’m dying to know.

Your friend,

Mike

If I was a game developer I’d be concerned if my staff spent more time playing other people’s games than developing the ones they’re paid to. If my profession was different and I saw staff spending as much, if not more, time making comments than writing news articles I’d be equally concerned (particularly during E3), if not moreso as it suggests and air of pettiness and inability to rise above it all. That’s a privilige for the visitors of the site, not the owners.

We all know how ugly things look when the content creators start trading blows with their punters. It ain’t pretty and it ain’t professional.

It. Is. Still. Coming. Out. On. P.S.3.

-That- is why it’s not as significant as some people are making out. Still huge news, and it’s only a marginally bigger title than MGS in the West. In Europe, even Gran Turismo is a bigger release.
