Jesus fucking Christ, for once the hyperbole is actually true about a site.
Polygon PS4 12 hour discussion stream
- Thread starter JambiBum
- Start date
The stream is making me want to become a games journalist out of pure spite. I probably wouldn't be very good at it, but by God I would be more credible than this.
[edit] Hoo boy. BF4 was something nobody was looking forward to. Because the jump from 24 to 64 players in a match just means fucking nothing.

Probably the most mind boggling claim.
Unfortunately agreed. Next gen showing how rushed it is even though it was a long time coming

Is there a way to watch this without giving them hits?

Are they forgetting that the multi platform games are better on PS4?
Apart from Forza, interested to hear about these killer exclusive launch games on Xbox One.

If anything, we've understated their ignorance.

Sounds like Polygon is Microsoft's FOX News.
Honestly that is subjective. As someone who does not own a high end gaming PC I will be happy to play some BF4, get some great KZ visuals, nba 2k and play some resogun.
I will be excited. You might not be. You aren't me.
The most scathing criticism possible. I almost want to tune in just to watch the slow descent into madness.

Seriously, they shouldn't get any clicks at all

Do you think it's possible he meant to use a controller with the tablet rather than the vita?
They also pretended Drive Club and The Order didn't exist in their PS4 review.
There are a lot of things you could say about Polygon but the main thing is that they're relentlessly dishonest.

"Oh jesus...." *hand to face*
Just don't do it Polygon, if you relaly hate your job, please just don't stream.

Perfect. It's the same xenophobic guy who criticise Vanquish mechanics as 'too Japanese'.

Uh did he just say that you're a bad journalist if you tell people not to buy stuff? Well okay then.

what are you waiting for
I really hope that someone is recording this (if it isn't being automatically archived).
If the frequency and accuracy of what is quoted in here is remotely accurate, then I'm sure there's a 10-minute-or-less rapid-fire compilation of the worst of this stream to be made that would be totally damning to any shred of credibility these guys had.
Plus I don't want to give them the click.

Microsoft is the only one producing new IP's.
Apart from Drive Club. And The Order 1886. And Resogun. And Knack.
Coverage has been hilariously bad from what I've seen so far. I find it amusing how they seem to have fobbed off the more interesting elements of their coverage - such as remote play - to The Verge team.

"Microsoft is the only one announcing new IPs" - Arthur Gies
Wait...is he serious?
Sony so far has announced:
Knack
Driveclub
Everybody's Gone to the Rapture
Resogun
The Order 1886
Rime
Deep Down (co-developed by Capcom)
Shadow of the Beast
Hohokum
And more Playstation-platform exclusives.
Microsoft has announced:
Powerstar Golf
Crimson Dragon
Quantum Break
Sunset Overdrive
D4 (MS? Can't remember)
LocoCycle
I'm...baffled.

They're saying don't buy a PS4 right now. Unless they the same for Xbox One considering they have 90% of the same games then there's something clearly going on.
He did say, that you're a bad journalist when you spread false information. It's not about the "don't buy it", it's about the "no games"-part because that is certainly not true.

So they pretty much all said that they dont recommend on launch, I really would like to see if they say the same about xbo.

I lasted 3 seconds.
How is that easier and or more convenient than one device? If he's talking about input delay its even worse when you are two devices removed rather than one.

They need 12 hours because that's how long it takes them to formulate a coherent statement.

Chris Grant plays the 'well-tempered, level-headed captain of the crew' type figure, but for all of his indie-talk, he sure shows his ignorance.
Doki Doki Universe is coming out in December. Sony-exclusive 'indie' that looks awesome, no one talks about it.

I've literally never seen him smile.
Though, I've never seen a video of him talking about Halo.

PS4 has no games -> trolling (It has, and anyone who buys it will be entertained)
Also, consoles need people to support them at early stages, so... suggesting not to buy something like that (trolling, trolling, trolling) is a sign of bad journalism

It's Gies, don't be.
However, Shadow of the Beast is not a new IP, so you'll need to replace that with Counterspy & Doki Doki Universe.
Lying about only MS making new IPs is understandable?
Claiming Killzone is not a AA exclusive is understandable?
Saying it will be on PS+ in a few months is understandable?

I see a lot of people in this thread being introduced to Arthur Gies. 
-size of screen (ease of reading text, menus, etc)
-new portable to buy
-lack of physical buttons in comparison to controller
---besides, theyre already saying it's not optimal for shooters with the current input lag.

David Pierce and Ross Miller.
The stream just got 100x better in mere seconds, and that's not saying that much.

Cross posting from other thread so people can see what a fucking moron Arthur Gies is:
*sigh*, ok, one more time for the road since I am tired of repeating it
He welched on a BET with a GAFer, and then refused to ever come back and pay up. He never returned to GAF. His excuse was he did lose the bet for exactly the reasons said, but for some reason it didn't count because he put the word in "scare quotes."
Evilore called him the most disreputable person in the enthusiast press
Read his whole recap, because it's especially damning.
For months and months Arthur Gies has lashed out at gamers for criticizing the Xbox One. He lashed out at us for calling Adam Orth out on his shit. He constantly, and consistently makes up abject bullshit because he feels like it - beating the drum that Xbox One had some fucking secret component that would help it compete with the PS4. During the Sim City fiasco, he vigorously defended EA to the bitter end. Seriously, read this shit and check out all the links.
The fucking guy is one of the biggest morons ever to grace the enthusiast press.
