But I'm not going to pretend they're more than they are just because I want to feel like a precious flower who can't settle for stupid entertainment.

You're right, they should be more like indie developers.

"It's a bizarre, insane, strange racing game with the weirdest music and most awesome gameplay ever," said developer Shawn McGrath.

Oh.

I watched the whole Jimmy Fallon Killzone PS4 thing awhile back... it's everything that is embarrassing about not just video games, but pitching something as well.

The sad-panda Infamous guy going on and on and then letting everyone down when he says, "Now imagine how the world would change if a group of people were to develop super-human abilities..." instead of saying, "Introducing: Watch Dogs." Is Infamous even considered AAA?

CoD, sure. The biggest offender of AAA recycle. Pointing out the CoD franchise as unoriginal is as tired as the franchise itself. I heard it sells well though./

The only interesting attack is on Destiny and I feel like it's kind of misplaced. I think cycling the same footage over and over saying, "we are creating something completely new," will be justified if it turns out to be a new MP Halo with a new name. Destiny has potential to deliver something like a well done Firefall that has never really been on consoles before. We'll see when it comes out. Graphics technology isn't really going to push us into a new realm of gaming; that's going to be hardware driven. And, yeah... Destiny isn't going to push the units that SpyParty will, but I think it's going to offer up more than just CoD in Space.

To be fair, that glassy-eyed Infamous "I trusted cops... and then they tear-gassed me" lead-in was pretty much the worst intro to anything ever.

the car porn guy was pretty amazing tbqh
