• This is how Xbox One game trade-ins will work, apparently

• Daryoon 24/05/2013

  Ah, Microsoft, with your Xbox One announcements you are really spoiling us!
  
  ...so, who wants to bet that Xbone games are going to be double that price brand new, to "cover next gen development costs"? Reply +1

  Out of curiosity, do modern football games still allow you to create/edit teams/players? Because I've no interest in all this Real Life Serious Business bullshit - I want Father Ted upfield with the Chuckle Brothers in defence and Jesus in goal. Reply +4

  Throw in some Real Time Weapon Change and - glory days! - the next gen is truly upon us! Reply +5

• Microsoft won't let indies self-publish on Xbox One

• Daryoon 22/05/2013

  "What do you mean," said Mister Eeay, "these upstarts can create their own video games that could potentially overshadow our own billion-dollar entertainment franchises, from the dishevelled pits of their own sweat-encrusted bedrooms? Enough of this nonsense! We shall show them. We shall show them all." Reply +46

• Kickstarter Funding Unsuccessful for Ecco the Dolphin man Ed Annunziata

• Daryoon 29/04/2013

  It was all a bit of a mess really, and they didn't do nearly enough publicity work to keep the initial momentum going. It's like they expected to rake in a good chunk of their target in the first week, and when it didn't happen they just ... kinda ... gave up. And then announced this 'Little Blue' thing while there was still a couple of weeks left. "You're doing it wrong" all round.
  
  Which is a shame, because I quite liked the initial idea.
  
  Except the 'creature cards'. They were just shite. Reply +7

• Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Collection spotted

• Daryoon 18/04/2013

  Twin Snakes has some financial ties to Nintendo, and MGS4 to Sony, right? Which would make seeing them all on one system about as likely as Kojima quitting the series. Reply +11

• Fez dated for Steam in early May

• Daryoon 18/03/2013

  "People keep assuming Fez would be a no-brainer on 3DS, but in truth it would be kind of pointless," he said. "The game is practically always shown in isometric 3D, there's never any perspective there. I don't think it would work."

  Has he forgotten about the bonus 3D mode in his own game??? Reply +9

  As always, the fact Nintendo experimented with online and DLC back in the nineties makes everything hilarious. Reply -2

  Who cares if we never get another generic Star Wars game aimed at adolescent males, when the door is open for us to beat up Darth Vader with Donald, Goofy and a kid with a giant key? Reply -2

  Either an all-out adventure game or an all-out RTS would have been awesome. The two did not, however, work well together. Respect for them trying, but it seemed clear the budget got slashed, and the campaign ended half-finished as a result. Reply 0
