• Staunchly anti-DRM Witcher 3 dev CD Projekt responds to Xbox One policy concerns

  Announcing it seems bad enough, but to actually come out on stage. That just sent a message so at odds with what they were doing before. Reply +57

• ArmA Tactics in action on Nvidia's handheld Project Shield thingamajig

• benstead 15/04/2013

  @StooMonster It just doesn't fit comfortably in your hand. It's too clunky and too big.
  
  The stick positions relative to buttons felt off. I dunno, Nvidia seem to be taking the stance that just because they've shoved some hefty tech into the system people will instantly love it. Reply 0

  Played this at PAX. So horribly uncomfortable to use. It's more of a power show by Nvidia but considering the tegra is being dropped by a few companies, it seems a bit dumb.
  
  The shield itself is super dumb. Reply +4

  Really overestimating how much people will WANT to stick with your games EA.

• It's not a Velocity sequel, it's a native HD rework for Vita

• benstead 11/01/2013

  Great game. Bit of a boon for Sony to have these guys working so much with the Vita/PSP. Will certainly be picking this up! Reply +25

• First Dirty Bomb gameplay shoots up London Bridge

• benstead 14/12/2012

  Guess what FPS that looks like? That's right...All of them. Brink wasn't the best it was barely "ok" but it had some nice ideas and man, Splash Damage decide to do this instead of expanding and improving. Reply +3

• Devil May Cry PC port outsourced, due after console versions

• benstead 20/09/2012

  I don't like the word "outsourcing" in the case of PC games, makes it seem like they don't care.
  
  Games like Sleeping Dogs, Borderlands 2 show a shifting attitude towards PC games. I hope more developers realise that putting your game on PC won't sink your company. Reply +15
