I feel like there is an outright disdain for GAF, in particular, right now from the press. We get assholes like me who can just say stuff with NDAs. We get OT's with more info about a game than any preview could ever hope to attempt. We get breaking news here first, and then on a site, and if their lucky the site will be linked in a new thread so we will click on their site.

Reminds me of newspapers and TV versus blogs and the internet in general. You can get your information much more quicker and can still be reliable as well. This becomes threatening to the newspapers and TV stations who have to through editors and sources before they can release their information. Its new media versus old media but in this case its new media versus new new media lol

You should know by now that Kevin Dent is nothing more than a troll and an unpleasant person. I got into an argument with him once on Twitter for going around trolling someone when he had done nothing noteworthy. He's a bigger douche than gies.

I don't just mean this as a gaf circle jerk. This is also true of reddit. I don't go to gamefaqs but I assume it's true there. I also assume it's true of 4chan. There's probably more places.

In the last several months it feels like the press, in US especially, have become contrarian to what sites like this think. The PS4 looks good... don't preorder yet! There may be some big surprise! You think that Mass Effect 3 is a piece of shit? GotY!

I'm probably simplifying it a bit but am I alone in feeling this tug of war going on? I feel like each weekend the big podcasts are arguing against whatever the big thing happens on sites like this or reddit or whatever feel. If they agree with us they are useless. If they argue they at least have an opposing viewpoint... but it often is nonsensical.

At the same time, #PS4NoDRM wouldn't have had the reach it did without the press atleast reporting about it. Also... I'm just some jerk on the internet talking about CoD being 720p on the Xbox One yet it's become a larger story because every podcast this weekend is talking about it. So while we may be a human centipede of gaming news... the press it part of the shit eating.

You nailed it, I think it is natural for people to speculate and gaf is a great place to do just that. This is obviously very threatening to those in the gaming press, but I think that some of the bigger players have completely over-valued what they bring to the table.

The better guys in the industry will adapt and thrive whilst others will blame circumstance and fail.

And now CBOAT's back. WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON.
(Also, am I wrong for thinking it's hypocritical of so many people in this thread to be okay for Battlefield PS4 to be sub-1080p, when that same thing was a death-knell for the ONE?)

it's not hypocritical at all. You're taking it all out of context

Thanks, Marcus for the insight. I can understand why you would be upset, However, I have learned from the short time that I have been on this site that if you say something bad about Sony you get backlash. I mean look at all the posts attacking you saying your upset about not getting a free console after you said you had both pre ordered. They are even making excuses for Sony as to why this is okay.

I know people say it often, but really... Dat persecution complex.

I really hope that Sessler isn't actually in full meltdown mode because of this non-news.

As I went back to get Gies's tweet to illustrate your point, I couldn't find it.

I'm a bit stupid with respect to twitter, can anyone find me the tweet where he asked for Albert's email or DM in order to send him the information everyone was talking about?

This is all I see with respect to that conversation right now:

You're not alone in your thoughts because for one I share them...it's the same as newspapers are struggling to remain relevant in the internet age...we find out news through twitter faster than any newspaper can get us information....

Same issue at play with sites like IGN (only using them because they are probably the biggest site)...we have our insiders...that either go to great lengths to remain anonymous, or like yourself that have your own sources so you're not bound by an NDA....

I'm sure the IGN guys have plenty of sources,,,and hear things but they simply CANNOT report things because they risk destroying their relationships with business partners...so yes I think there is some disdain for a place like this from the "official" channels...

Though sites like these may be perpetually hyperbolic and prone to devolve into a wall of memes and .gifs -- they are brutally honest and regularly hostile to anything perceived to be corporate. The collective knowledge of forums (and how the information disseminates) only serves to exaggerate how profoundly untalented game "journalists" really are. They don't exist to inform the consumer, not really. They are there to make money, occasionally helping or informing the consumer is a rare byproduct. Think about how unbelievably misinformed one would be about one's decision next month if you had only read IGN versus if you had only read GAF. Who is bound is be the most informed consumer? It's easy to dismiss "GAF" as a collective, but, boy, come into a thread and state your bullshit and you'll be eviscerated for the next few hours.

I would expect eviews of launch games to have little effect pre order sales. Also, if you are concerned about the sanctity of your review, wait and review it on your own console.

Giant Bomb doesn't even need reviews, they're just an occasional formality at this point. Especially for launch. I remember the Wii and PS3 launches on GaneSpot, that was probably the first time that casual unedited video content took precedence over reviews for me. It's almost insane to review a launch game, you have to create so many impressions and comparisons for the reader/viewer for it to even be effective. I expect GB will carry on with their tradition this upcoming month.

It's true, I trust anyone's review here far more than any member of the press, gaf preview analysis from watching the video and reading past the pr speak is usually more accurate, and as far as I'm concerned Iwata Asks, yosp twitter, and Reddit AMAs give more useful information than most any press interviews.

If people really care about Adam Sessler, then they'll care about what he says a couple days after release just as much as a couple days before.

Yeah its getting annoying. GAF isn't pro Sony or pro Xbox. It's pro whatever is better for gaming.

Almost the entirety of current gen the majority of gaffers have loved their 360s and there's been a lot of shtting on Sony and the ps3,the PSP and vita. When a company fucks up, GAF is there to laugh.

It just happens MS to the surprise of many have fucked and made mistakes that I'll be honest I would have never thought they could. Ms always seemed like the company that understood gaming. Look at every 3rd party exclusive they wrapped up this gen, with the exception of too human, they've all been stwllar.

Everyone, me included, where expecting a big Sony fuck up earlier on this year when the rumours started floating one of them was behind and facing problems.

GAF is GAF. We don't give a flying fuck about MS or Sony. We give a fuck about theyre console, their games, and their attitude to treating us as gamers. Sony seems to get it at the moment, MS does to but the executive bs going on behind the scenes is ruining all the good they've done for the industry with the one.

Competition is good. Competition gave us the Dreamcast, it gave us the ps2, the 360 and now the PS4.

I feel sad for having my coffee in bed just so I could read GAF lol. Oh well this shit better not burn

Keep doing your stuff mate, you single handedly shook the gaming industry in the last few days. Gaf insiders are what makes GAf GAF ( did I make sense here lol) . I trust Cboat, Matt, thuway and you more than any gaming journalist out there.

Well if thats the case he's a goddamn idiot because Sony's legal department will bankrupt his ass and he will be blacklisted from the games industry for the rest of his life.

Hi all, took me a while to remember my password or I would have jumped in sooner.

Its not just about the games, its reviewing the actual system 2 days before the damn thing ships.
Something feels off right now to be honest & a lot of people are pissed about it.
If you have seen anything I have done over the last 8 months, you will know I have been very happy with the way Sony has been doing things but now its time for them to shit or get off the pot and they are being damn evasive about allowing serious access to the system before launch.
I have mine preordered (ditto XboxOne) & if that is the only way I will get to have said access to the PS4 then so be it.
When people delay access to something, game or hardware, it's never for a good reason in my experience.

Or you can wait 3 days more like everyone else and review to your hearts content. The fact that they are even giving you the opportunity should be enough.
