David Cage clarifies Uncharted comments Comments by Tom Bramwell

Sorry David!

The RE5 thing was the best headline you've ever done. Ever.

David Cage 1 - 0 Eurogamer.

Pwned!

Bad EG, slowly becoming the News of the World of gaming sites :)

The Resi 5 headline was classic though, kudos for that! Although not everyone saw the funny side (which in a way was even funnier!).

Ha! About time someone slapped your collective wrists for doing stuff like that, EG.

In order to provide Eurogamer readers with every side of games and events, we often report comments made by developers in interviews on other websites and in newspapers, and in these instances we use headlines derived from what we feel is the most eye-catching revelation.

In other words you're a bunch of twats. kthanks.

About time too, some of the tabloid style headlines on here have been getting ridiculous. I like you because of your credibility EG, and that's been slipping recently.

Did you just promise us a feature on Heavy Rain in the near future?

derived from what we feel is the most eye-catching revelation.

Trashy.

Your all very naughty.

Now don't do it again.

Tell Cage to fuck off and get a sense of humour, the miserable cunt.

The RE5 thing was the worst headline you've ever done. Ever.

As for Mr. Cage's original analogy - rather than porn, I'd probably say it was more like an action film: story action story action etc.

too much anti-porn bias on this website...

Heh. Fahrenheit went batshit insane at the end, and eurogamer attention whore chumps got shown up by the guy who made that story. Classic.

Cage has integrity and talent. Eurogamer are only good at writing poor attempts at controversial headlines these days. You guys used to be worth reading.

What was the RE5 headline?

Did you read the article mcbi4kh2?

All the shallow tabloid headlines do annoy me, it just seems that you're desperate for hits. When we actually read the articles and see that the headline is taken completely out of context it just makes you seem deceptive.

I too have felt that a LOT of headlines around now are sensationalist and the tone in them relates very little compared to the actual article. I'm all for funny and witty headlines, I love them! But please keep the accuracy and integrity of the story.

I think the headlines are hilarious, no matter how tenuous. Keep it up.

@asphaltcowboy

I have now, apparently Im not as good at speed reading as I think I am.

derived from what we feel is the most eye-catching revelation

derived from what we feel is most likely to generate click-thrus - fixed.

you can only get away with the excuse that this is all tongue in cheek humor for so long, eventually it becomes obviously exploitative and, in this case, clearly grossly misrepresenting and out of context. there's been too much of this lately - you're starting to forget yourselves.

What a blouse. Fahrenheit was the game most like a porn film I've seen so the headline makes sense. No come shots though.

Keep up the headlines!

Jonsend "All the shallow tabloid headlines do annoy me, it just seems that you're desperate for hits. When we actually read the articles and see that the headline is taken completely out of context it just makes you seem deceptive."

Spot on. It's not even funny.

The guy needs a sense of humour check. HE made the porn analogy for God's sake! He needs to take his head out of his arse.

I'm gonna check out that Resident Evil 5 story now by the way...

blig_merk give the Sony campaign a rest dude, at least for a day....

I wonder if eurogamer will ever stop investing themselves in inflammatory console war bullshit and sensationalist fanboy baiting and get back to the style that made them worth reading. They USED to be an online equivalent of games tm or edge lite, but lately theyve been a lot more like gamepro. Is their target audience now the gamefaqs crowd? Or is that just where their writers are from?

No blig_merk not anyone...just you. I think anyone on EG who has read your posts will agree with your PS3 Fanboy status.....

I thought the Resi 5 headline was quite witty actually. Made me chuckle, and i certainly can't find anything morally wrong with it, its just a play on words.

I enjoy EG its fun and its free.

I enjoy the headlines and related articles, come on guys its light-hearted fun.

Keep up the good work

Hahaha I love it. Eurogamer is such a tabloid.

Just need to change the hue of that blue logo so it's red, which shouldn't be too hard.

What a bastard, making eurogamer apologise.

In the process of typing my post, they replace the blue logo with a silly advertisement. :( Oh well, you know what I'm talking about.

the resi 5 headline was hilarious, the uncharted one was kindof silly. there's clearly a difference.

PatAU - If Eurogamer upsets you so much stop coming here. Either that or stop whining.

David Cage trying to hide his porn addiction, EG hit a nerve.

NonniR - I'm "upset" because I care. The site used to be good. If the writers know whats good they will take criticism to heart and actually write good stuff like they used to. Somewhere during the last 18-24 months there must have been a decision to turn the site to stupid. It's been a gradual process but it's overwhelmingly evident now.

"If Eurogamer upsets you so much stop coming here. Either that or stop whining."

Well said NonniR, it amazes the amount of people who come on EG just to complain about EG and what they do. If you don't like a site find a new one it really is that easy.

Fair enough to Cage for wanting to make sure people understood what he meant, and fair play to EG to being gracious about it. Everybody hug now!

Confounder,

Get off your high horse, it's just a gaming site for petes sake.

Its guys like you that take the fun out of everything.

I played Fahrenheit from start to finish, and enjoyed a fair bit of it too, but the story telling was just not of the calibre David Cage seems to think it was.

The dialogue was cliched in the extreme for most of the game, and the first thought that entered my head on reading this article was "coffee pot, kettle, black, etc".

I know he was just making an analogy, but to use his own game as reference was risky, as I think DG has far too high an opinion of himself and his work.

"Tell Cage to fuck off and get a sense of humour, the miserable cunt."

charming but true! lmao

Blig made a friend!

Seriously though blig, this suggestion that all you do is defend poor old multimillion dollar megacorp Sony is quite laughable - do you think they even know or care?

Not only that, but you are often guilty of incredible vitriol towards people who say anything even remotely negative about Sony, even when it would seem that their negativity is wholly justified.

Sometimes you rebuff opinion with your opinion-as-fact. Sometimes you name call and are pretty nasty for no good reason (I certainly don't call blinkered, undying allegiance to a company a good reason), and you seem shocked that you are ignored.

Perhaps you should think carefully about the way you put your 'important' message across before you hit enter; maybe then it won't seem like the world is against you and your pointless crusade.

For the record, I own a 360 and a Wii, but not a PS3. I have nothing against Sony aside from their bullish, often arrogant claims - something I hate no matter which company it comes from.

i certainly can't find anything morally wrong with it, its just a play on words.

You can't find anything wrong with attributing a potentially disreputable comment to someone that didn't say it? You haven't heard of libel then I take it?

asphaltcowboy it was a bit of fun nothing more as that's how most took it. You shouldn't take things so seriously, lighten up a little....

What was the RE5 headline ?

What was the RE5 headline ?

How about you read the article FFS?

@bad09: Yeah, it's all fun and games for everyone, but I'm sure it doesn't look that good for Mr. Takeuchi. It wasn't even vaguely close to what he said and if I were him, I'd certainly ask for the headline to be changed. And if it's all just fun and games, why did EG bother to change the headline and post a clarification?

@ asphaltcowboy

True it's not EXACTLY what he said but he did say that some of the team were black and the headline was a play on that, and a very good one if you ask me...

Sigh. Wasn't a diatribe, certainly wasn't suggesting that 'if you defend Sony, you are shit'.

Should have known better than to try and engage you; seems like you read into things the way you want to, and I really do take notice of the things you write because it is often so damn hateful.

You seem to be completely ignoring the fact that it paints him in a negative light, which considering he didn't say anything to that effect is exploitative, libellous and just plain rude.

@ asphaltcowboy

You seem to be reading to much into the headline. It doesn't paint ANYONE in a bad light just word play on an old saying to create a humorous headline. If you really took it like that I'll repeat - You shouldn't take things so seriously, lighten up a little....
