Pristine_Condition said:Wow. 1up's review of a game on a Sony platform title is lower than all the other reviews out there from other sites? What a shock.
Geez, move on, people.
Sure, they've done some pretty blatent lowball PSP metascore-submarining reviews. Yes, Garnett's voice actually quivers in defense of 360 all the time on 1up Yours. Yep, Dana wrote a blog post about how even though she's the editor of OPM, she's getting a 360 because she doesn't care about the PS3, HD, or 7.1 sound. Big freaking deal, Sony fanboys. It doesn't mean they are actually in Microsoft's pocket. It probably has nothing to do with that.
If you haven't figured out 1up's game by now, you never will. 1up would rather have people talking about them on the forums than actually having credibility. They'd rather be "personalities" than have a unified editorial identity. "New media" after all, is a personality-driven business.
Love them or hate them, either way, it gets them hits on their website, money in their pockets, ect. Sony has the biggest name/marketshare, so they get the most heat. That's all part of the game.
Controversy = cash. Credibility is boring. Welcome to the world of "new media" folks...you're only about four years late to the party if you are just figuring out that the game has totally changed.
If anything, the Sony fanboys are helping 1up when they complain. They get the word out about 1up.com. Just like in pro wrestling, it doesn't matter if people love you or hate you...just make sure they keep talking about you.
Nothing new to see here, folks. Well, besides the ban party. That's always fun.

chespace said:Hmm, kinda disappointed the AI sounds more or less like the Combine soldiers in HL2 (which I hated).
With overwhelming numbers, good AI should be practicing suppression/flanking tactics as opposed to the charge-in-your-face variety (which gives you plenty of fodder for your secondary fire, I suppose).

I played for about 2.5 hours in total in multiplayer and I loved every second of it.

TheTrin said:Those of us in Japan are having a really excellent time with the game. The inventive weapons that made Insomniac so famous are in full force. One of the best launch titles I`ve played in a long long long time. Great stuff guys!
jstevenson said:Glad to hear it --- we're really proud of the game. The team worked amazingly hard on it. I saw your posts earlier about the weapons --- hopefully you get a chance to enjoy the second play through weapons.
How's multiplayer going over there? We've been trying to check in on the Japanese servers and it seems there are some folk playing.

Sephiroth said:I'm sorry but can some GAF moderator explain to me why 1up editors enjoy such immunity here? Luke outrightly insults every person that reasonably suspects that 1up is biased while the former 1up editor and now on Microsoft payroll Che trolls the rival consoles without even a remark against him from the moderators. Actually I've seen people banned for mentioning that he's a corporate mouthpiece which is close to the truth. I'm not implying anything by the way I just need a reason behind this behaviour.
