@CaPPa Please at least make sure you know the difference between an FPS and a TPS before making sweeping sarcastic remarks, because it just makes you seem rather ignorant and your sarcasm turns back on you.

Thank you, signed everyone who cares enough to know what Insomniac is actually making.

@Sentinator I will definitely give you Killzone as totally overrated. I think Killzone 2 raised the bar for PS3 visuals so high upon release (that's pretty much a fact) that reviewers forgot that it was otherwise just a Halo clone. Don't ask me why they didn't come to their senses come Killzone 3.

@SanderEvers I'm not making my own standards, here. Is this not what has happened in the past? When games are still being released for an older gen and are also beginning to be released for a newer gen, journalists will refer to the newer gen as the next-gen and the older gen as either last-gen or current-gen. This is because they obviously aren't referring to the next next-gen, because those are six years away at least. And if they referred to a game that came out last week as last-gen while the PS4 hasn't even come out yet, that would seriously screw with the English language's tense grammar.

And this is why we have these arguments. You make a point, I make a counter-point, then after that you make a snarky counter-counter-point that rather sharply discredits all of my point, and then I type this paragraph in which, because of language convention and how people interpret things, I cannot help but seem counter-snarky while typing, even though I am not trying to be. And then it devolves into a shit-fest where neither of us will really make any good, argumentative points and will just be at each other's throats instead.

In short, I think the arguments about 'next-gen meaning the console's time of release' and 'next-gen meaning the amount of raw power a system has' have gone on long enough, and those terms are what cause the problem. If that term didn't exist, there wouldn't be this problem (of course, there would be other problems, like coming up with a suitable term with the same meaning :P)

As someone who is a huge Insomniac fan and a person who tries not to take sides on the whole Nintendo sucks/is still great and WiiU is current-gen hardware/WiiU is next-gen because it's part of this console cycle debates, I think what he says is... fair enough, if a tad harsh. If they want to develop games for systems that have specs akin to the PS4 (Xbox probably will), then obviously they aren't developing for WiiU. However, I think he's just pouring oil on the fire by saying Wii U is 'last-gen'.

The two definitions of 'insert-gen' are starting so many pointless arguments, perhaps it's simply the term itself that needs to go away.

Ted Price probably, admittedly, should have said 'We aren't developing for WiiU right now' and left it at that, or if he needed to go further he should have left it at 'we are only considering the more powerful next-gen consoles ATM'.

I hope none of that sounds like I'm taking sides, because really I don't care what gen the WiiU is. I expect an awesome HD Metroid, and if I get it, I'm happy.

RaymanFan2 commented on Ninterview: Heather "Miss Gamer Girl" Cascioli:

I love hearing about gamer girls, simply because it diminishes the stereotype in my head that I'll never find the girl for me because none of them will be particularly impressed with how much time I spend gaming (all of my spare time, really :P). If I was with a girl like her, however, I'd be the one who'd have to try to compensate! I have piles of games, but dat console list! Of course, @missgamergirl, I'm not trying to sound creepy :P

Well, after reading most of these comments for two days now, I conclude that you guys are possibly making a bit too much of an issue out of this. I also conclude that i have read nothing that will affect Ubisoft in the slightest, all I've gathered is that they're losing about 700 sales. OH CRAP GUYS WAHT ARE WE GONNA DO 700 SALES GONE!

RaymanFan2 commented on Rumour: New Sonic Title Dashing To Wii U And 3DS:

Guys, I've been part of the Sonic fandom for years and frequent almost every Sonic board/website you could possibly frequent.
As soon as I saw "Wii U, PS3, 360, 3DS, PS Vita, PC and "next gen consoles" - which we assume means the next Xbox and PlayStation systems" I knew this was a fake. There is absolutely no way Sega would make a game for both the PS360 gen and the one coming soon, eventhey know that's not going to work, they can't simply port it over. Calling huge BS on this one.
