To sum it up: Infinity Ward sucks and that engine is so shitty you can't tell the difference between 720 and 1080.

New video of Dying Light, which is a parkour Zombie game from the people who brought you Dead Island.

I'm a actually little bit excited for this.

Yeah, that's too bad. I'm not a CoD fan, but I'd like these games to succeed.

I'll be the first to admit the PS4 is the more powerful system and that, all things being equal, it will have better graphics. I do, however, find it funny that the one review listed in that post that uses the term "Xbone" in their review is the one review that finds the XB1 has noticeably worse "(far, in some cases)" graphics.

You write for videogamer Sean?

I kid, I kid.

The PS4 Might Be A Decent Media Server After All

For those who doubted the confirmation that MP3 & DLNA would be put in before:

In an interview with Giant Bomb (spotted by Polygon), PlayStation Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida says "the biggest surprise for us all internally at Sony" was just how upset people got that the PS4 wouldn't be able to stream their own personal movies and music the way a PS3 can.

"It's not like we actively decided 'Let's not do this feature so that people will subscribe to Music Unlimited,'" Yoshida said. "Like we have been saying, the focus has been always on the game features. And some of the features we wanted but we couldn't get in on day one we are very disappointed and worried about not having on day one, and that have been the higher priorities."

"We didn't really think about MP3 or DLNA," he adds. "We always thought we're going to do that eventually. We've been doing it with all the products. So it caught us off guard."

"As we speak ... the teams in Japan and U.S., the system guys are discussing how and when we can put these features on PS4".

Well thank god for that. Glad to hear something more concrete.

Wtf is in the water at Sony? They didn't know people used their PS3/360s as media servers? How is that possible?
Perhaps because they didn't design any of their consoles to collect customer information.

Really though, it was just something they missed. It happens. They said they were surprised at how many people used their consoles as media servers. They've probably never done any data collection on that kind of use.

I would imagine a small percentage of users use the media server. That percentage is just a vocal presence on the internet.

Frys is now doing the B2G1 sale. Gamestop is about the only retailer who isn't.
