Given that the Pro is going to be at about the price point the original PS4 started at, why not just go for the model that you know you won’t need to upgrade from? The one with all the features and stuff? I mean, I know $100 isn’t like, laughing-off money, but at the same time, this thing is going to live in your… Read more

I’m trying to think of the ethics surrounding something like this. It’s not a Nintendo project, but it unapologetically uses their likeness (indeed I’m sure some sprites if not most) and more importantly from a legal perspective their intellectual properties. It’s not The Return of Shmoopus, it’s right there, Samus.… Read more

Huh. Kinda thought this would be a longer read. Read more

1. It sure was busted. What a busted feature. I quit using it a couple days in. Read more

This is all I wanted. My more opinionated room mate isn't satisfied, but it isn't as if any of this is surprising. I just wanted to feel acknowledged. I know they'll fix the tracking, I know they're having a rough time getting the game out and functional. The bit about excusing their failure to communicate as having… Read more

This is disheartening. My roommate was ecstatic with anticipation for Pokemon Go in the months leading up to its launch, and I only got on the bandwagon the night before when I realized it would be a great excuse to get some exercise. And we had a lot of fun the first week despite not being able to sign in half the… Read more

Precisely. I will quit using Pokevision when those clowns fix their own built in tracker. It isn't our fault that there are services trying to fill the void Niantic themselves have left in their own damn game. Read more

Unless it's a typo or something has changed recently I have to push back on the claim that you can still play the games when your service lapses as this has not been my experience. That is to say, although they stay installed and are always available for re-download, the games have never run for me when I have been… Read more

I’m of two minds on this. On the one hand cultural appropriation combined with insensitivity toward deeply held beliefs by a large number of people is probably not something I’d recommend doing in the first place, and I agree that “trivialize” is the right word for what it is doing. On the other hand, I’m an atheist… Read more

Your reply is like mine if I had any sense of class. Read more

Sucks I won’t be playing it because I’m fed up with Activision’s shit. Sell the remaster as a separate install and I might throw up to $30 at it, a game I've purchased at least twice, maybe three times. But they can go fuck themselves bundling this thing in with an extra-priced version of a game I don't want. Read more

Sounds awful. Sorry. I started a film podcast with a snobby friend and his snobbery about CG has really rubbed off on me. If it isn’t convincing, it will detach me entirely from the experience, and despite their ever-improving efforts, Hollywood’s CG just isn’t there. Will it ever be? Probably. But it isn’t yet, and… Read more

Also, could anyone with the ability please make me an approved commenter? I’ve been reading Kotaku since 2005 and I was a starred commenter back when that system existed. I got swept into the unapproved commenter bin with everyone else in 2014 because Jezebel was receiving all that awful harassment, but I have never,… Read more

To save myself some effort I’ve copied the Reddit comment I made about this earlier. Forgive my laziness. Read more

My Xbox YouTube app suggested me the trailer for Dolphin 5.0 and I watched it on a whim. I haven't emulated much of anything for a couple years now, but my god that looked impressive. Made me want to go emulate something. Read more

No kidding. Among the first things I noticed when I suffered, I mean purchased and plugged in my Xbox One was that Microsoft’s much-touted “every Arcade title must have a demo” rule seemed to have disappeared. And of course besides a lack of…they’re not even arcade anymore are they? indie game demos, even here half… Read more

Someone once explained China’s ripoff culture to me in a way that made sense regarding hardware. They wind up with all this left over unutilized stuff and make what they can out of it. But th shamelessness of their software continues to mak my jaw drop. I just can't wrap my head around it. Read more

Sonic Generations sure did get it right. I can't figure on why they had to go blow it so hard with Sonic Boom. Read more

I would still check Mighty no. 9 out despite the reviews if it wasn’t 20 bleeding dollars. Read more
