Yeah, read that.... They are cunts.

Well, the guy who wrote those replies claims to be the head of the company. He also spells worse than Clox's iphone posts.

:lol: at the PR guy just naming companies probably never realizing they would actually respond back or find out.

IGN already said they don't have any business with the company except for a brief time in the past. Kotaku never gets anything from those guys for products when they do product reviews nor did they go on the PR guy's side.

It gets even worse on Amazon with all his products getting trashed now especially after his line of him teasing he would sell the customer's product on Ebay.

I'm really glad I wasn't the only one who picked up on the "The Mayor" part. Had me cracking up.

This goes all the way to The Mayor!

Reddit also found his old MySpace along with posts on a forum about using steroids

lol what a douchebag.

Well, he's ruined at this point. :y: internets.

This is why I'm pretty sure Jim Sterling is right about Childishness solving more than maturity.

I love it. Giving him more rope and watching him hang himself.

I am, however, saddened that we're picking on someone who is so clearly suffering from a learning disability. I mean, he types in twittard speak even in his emails.

As for Stratagy, maybe he meant Stragety. They're pretty similar in usage.

In an interview with OPM UK (Official Playstation Magazine), Hideo Kojima explained why the original Metal Gear Solid game from the PS1 was not included in the Metal Gear Solid HD collection for the Xbox 360 and PS3.

His explanation was as a lack of interest to just upscale the PS1 game and wanting more to reboot the entire game if MGS 1 was to ever be remade.

In terms of actual work needed, the other games in the set either came from the same platform (MGS 2, MGS 3) or from a similar architecture (PSP's Peace walker) which reduced the work needed on upscaling the assets. Japan's set did get the the original Metal Gear games from the MSX but they were kept in their original states and not upscaled to HD resolutions.

The internet is a real motherfucker

You didn't expect Kojima to be honest, did you?

It's weird how it sometimes works, isn't it?

That was also done with help from Nintendo and Silicon Knights (at the time a 2nd party studio for Nintendo).

Don't remember his actual reaction to the game but the MGS community ended up hating it because it made the game easier or changed it too much with the new camera perspective and other non-MGS 1 stuff.

I'd assume in terms of the actual MGS HD collection, Konami wanted more of a quick and cheap HD porting project so either it would have cost more than they budgeted or Kojima's team didn't want to spent a lot of time rehauling the graphics for the game. In Japan, they just tossed in the extra MSX games mainly due to the first being on PSN store and the 2nd was just added to the disc or also on the PSN store.

Fair enough I guess.

I never actually played Twin Snakes myself, just knew it existed. I'd imagine Nintendo might also have some rights to it still.

Starting to think this can't be real. Like it's a viral campaign or something. He's just so over the top right now it's ridiculous.

I feel bad for the guy that designed the Avenger. Apparently he's just some teacher who made the thing for one of his students and just basically started the day with his product getting shit all over on websites like Amazon

Might be a retread, but I don't think so:

The unfortunate thing here is that the review bombs are unlikely to go away.

I do feel bad for the guy. He has apparently done the right thing here.

Details on Episode II for Sonic 4 include a lot of new features, new physics, and no version for the Wii.

In terms of new stuff, Tails arrives as a sidekick for the game while Metal Sonic returns as the main villain for the game. The story follows more of a Sonic vs Metal Sonic rivalry based on the events since the end of Sonic CD.

Based on feedback from the fans, the physics engine from Episode 1 has been completely remade. Some features include no longer sticking to walls or uncurling in ball form when running up a hill. The graphics engine was also completely remade based on similar feedback.

The game will be available for all the same systems Episode 1 was on with the exception of the Wii due to the lack of the Wiiware logo. Current rumors hint Sega might be holding it back until the release of the Wii U and the updated Nintendo network.

No exact release date was given but it will arrive at some point in 2012 for PSN, XBLA, iOS, and Windows Phone 7. Android Phones have been included as a platform for the game while PC/Mac once again have been left out.

Except he wasn't sued, he was sent a C&D letter. And other problems, but still.

Based on a newsletter sent by Disney and then later removed, Disney might have accidentally leaked more details regarding the sequel to Epic Mickey.

The game will have a 2-player co-op mode with Oswald the Rabbit being controlled by the second player. Also revealed was a Fall 2012 as the current release date for the game.

The sequel will also be available on the PS3 and Xbox 360 to go along with the Wii. This would end up confirming an earlier leak which had potential box art covers for the game including other platforms besides just the Wii.

Assuming the same control setup is used from the original game, the Xbox 360 are assumed to have some sort of Kinect controls while the PS3 version would have Move controls.

Well, I know what I've been dying for is another Epic Mickey.

Torrent Freaks revealed the list of the most pirated games of 2011 during the News Year Eve weekend with games from the PC, Xbox 360, and Wii listed.

Results on handhelds and the PS3 were not listed with the PS3 assumed to be due more to the larger file sizes and only recently became cracked to the public in late Spring.

Almost all of the games released in November with the exception of CoD: Modern Warfare 3 did not reach enough pirated copies to make the lists as well.

In terms of the PC numbers, the Crysis 3 numbers were mostly from the launch period and large enough to have Crytek drop all future exclusive support for the PC market in favor of the more profitable console market.

In terms of the Wii numbers, FIFA 12 was pirated more than double of the actual sales for the game based on estimates.

Unlike Wind Waker's cell shading style being used for Zelda games on the Nintendo DS, Nintendo nor Eiji Aonuma have any intentions of using the Skyward style for future Wii U and 3DS Zelda games.

The main reason was due to when Wind Waker was being developed, both Miyamoto and Aonuma noticed how well the style would work for the DS. The storyline of the DS games were also done as a continuation of the Wind Waker storyline which kept the same Link for all the games.

Since Skyward Sword ended up as a prequel to the entire series and the fate of the first Link, the same style can't be reused as easily in terms of storyline reasons as Wind Waker was.

While Twilight Princess technically didn't have another Zelda game using the same style, it was used as the basis for Link's Crossbow Training which had some loose ties to the main game.

SNAKING IS BROKEN! SNAKING IS CHEATING!

...Sorry, kneejerk response.

Microsoft announces several new changes have been made in regards to the regulations for indie game development on the Xbox Live marketplace.

Some of the changes include the cap on file sizes have been increased from 150 MB to now 500 MB for games. The pricing structure for games was also changed where any game under 150 MB now gets the $1 price tag and a tier system for the $3 and $5 price tags.

The limit on games published was also pushed from the current 10 games to now 20 games per year from indie developers. No new rules were added to the approval process to help restrict the potential for more shovelware or rushed games.

ESA still has a huge amount of support from the industry, and withdrawing while still being a supporter of SOPA through the ESA is likely the intent.

I wish Microsoft would just not make stupid policies. Then they wouldn't have to revise them every few months. But if Microsoft and Sony stopped making stupid policies, they'd have one less thing to compete over.

Been a big supporter of indie games. Some definite gems out there. Can't wait to see what people will do with the bigger cap.

Hopefully put out some of the shit that's on Steam so console players can enjoy them.

Seriously. Some of the stuff I've picked up in sales that I hadn't heard of but was only 1 or 2 quid has been amazing.
