I know you're only mucking about but can we stop equating homosexuality with inferiority, please.

You can wipe out pretty much all insults if you PC them to death. I could have called them "bastards" but that could be implying that people who don't know who daddy is are inferior.

A bastard is someone whose parents aren't married.

I know I'm late to bring this up - and it may have already been said a few dozen times over the past 163 pages, however:

as an advertisement is pretty damn good, PS1 marketing campaign good...

I hope they market the system like this, because it sold me. Then again, i'm a nostalgic so-and-so, am I.

Is This Naughty Dog’s PlayStation 4 Game?

The power of Podcast Beyond’s listenership has struck again. This time, NickoMcBrain (I assume that’s not his actual name) comes through with some fascinating stills from a video chronicling the development of Naughty Dog’s upcoming PS3 exclusive The Last of Us.

What did he find? The image below show the exact moment of interest.

In the background of that frame, you can see two character models that don’t at all look like they belong in The Last of Us. In fact, as our Podcast Beyond-listening friend suggests, they look “a lot like 17th/18th century clothing or maybe even pirates.” I couldn’t agree more.
Here, look at a zoomed-in picture.

And one even more zoomed in!

The Last of Us takes place in the 21st century, and though the situation is dire in the game – society hasn’t functioned in two decades as the start of the adventure – I don’t think that means people start dressing like Caribbean buccaneers. Then again, these characters could appear in The Last of Us, whether in the single-player campaign or as characters in the still-unknown multiplayer component of the game.
But more tantalizing is that we could be getting a glimpse at Naughty Dog’s yet-unseen PlayStation 4 game. Remember: Naughty Dog split into two teams, so while one is working on The Last of Us, the other is working on a game we don’t yet know of. We've reached out to Sony for comment, but in the meantime...
...is this it?

Metric :wub:

I was already sold before the trailer, but that was GOOD.

12-16 million units in 2013 would be an obscene amount. The actual number will probably be about a third of that, assuming there aren't production issues.

I read it as financial year, even with that consideration it's still a significant figure to claim. It strikes me as rubbish, even with those 4 extra months.

Crucially neither the link given or it's original source give any indication of where they pulled that number from. From their arse is my guess.

Given that they look a lot like Assassin's Creed 3 characters I'm inclined to believe that they're from the new piratey spin-off. Maybe Naughty Dog's consulting on PS4 development for Ubisoft?

Mike Bithell (Thomas Was Alone) tweeted this about indie developers and next-gen:

@mikeBithell: Hoped that Microsoft had secret plans, but everyone I've spoken to is going Sony. So unless they're leaving it last minute..

Sony just released their financials, it doesn't even make any predictions about PS4 sales, I looked into that quoted figure as its the first I've heard of it, it's probably some analyst projection, it can't be official as they only officially acknowledged the systems existence barely 3 months ago. They only forecast 6 Million PS3 shipments for that FY when that launched back in 2006, seems odd they would be even more bullish on how many PS4s they could shift now.

Supposedly some info on their marketing campaign has leaked:

Sony-greatness-awaits.jpg

Sounds cool.

The script supposedly reads, “Who are you not to be great? You, with the imagination of a brilliant child and the powers of an ancient god.

“Who are you to be ordinary? You, who could get away with murder, or raise the dead…” As the guy says this the buildings start to look damaged.

“Who are you to be anonymous? You, whose name should be spoken in reverent tones or in terrified whispers.

“Who are you to be afraid? You, who can serve as judge and jury while hoarding infinite lives.

“Who are you to be a slave to the past? You who can travel time like the oceans and rewrite history with a single word.

“Who are you to deny greatness? If you would deny it to yourself, you deny it to the entire world.”

“Greatness awaits.

“PlayStation.”
