Thursday Gaming Thread (New Gen Edition)
So, it seems like a whole load of embargos have been lifted on the PS4 with a whole load of reviews and coverage starting to come out. Nothing too much surprising as far as I've seen - the usual mixed bag of launch reviews. Knack seems to have had a savaging, but most stuff's getting a 6-7/10, with the odd 8. Out tomorrow in America.
Microsoft continue trying to get the trust of pretty much everyone back while the "bad" news keeps coming along with it - the latest being that launch titles (notably Call of Duty) aren't running at the previously expected 1080p. Everything's still officially embargoed review-wise, which perhaps isn't a great sign when PS4 game reviews started coming out a week or two ago.
Nintendo had one of their Nintendo Direct things yesterday. Doesn't seem to be much news from it - seems a bit crazy to try and announce anything on the day that's blanket PS4 coverage everywhere, but that's the Nintendo way.
Call of Duty 2013 sells about a trillion copies despite a resoundingly tepid response from reviewers who seem a little bored of the formula and see it as treading water while we move to the next generation of consoles.
Probably some other news, but I've been away for half the week. Take it away...
