No he didn't copy the article, he WROTE all of that himself.

Since it's ok by the mods, who even cares, a topic, whether he himself wrote it or someone else, and caused decent discussion, why get worked up about it?

If he's post and running he is basically using vgchartz as free advertizing. I don't think he should be allowed to do that. However, the mods say it's okay so i'll drop it.

Back on topic, ted price really needs to start getting creative talent again.

My issue is.... essentially he is just using vgchartz for hits/advertizement. He isn't being an active member of the community by posting and bailing on his own threads.

By your standards, but 7 pages of discussion on a topic (lets call it 6 with 1 complaining about him, etc) thats a pretty good contribution to a site, more pages, more comments, more ad views, etc, etc. In anycase, it is a pointless thing to argue about, I don't think it matters so long as its not spam, and if no one replied to the posts they wouldn't get any attention.

He needs to stop claiming that someone else wrote it, or stop linking to the external site he's probably getting ad revenue from with each click.

Calling it an article gives it undue credence.

Maybe as a compromise mods should edit out the links from the threads.

I think that their dev capacity is more important than the IPs (Heavy Rain, Beyond). They do games that simply don't allow sequels, so it's more important to  have the guys that make these kind of games than owning the IPs.

to be honest I don't think that's because the PS3 gamers disagree, but more because RFOM was the first shooter you could buy for the PS3, so therefore the numbers are way high. The bad luck R3 had was the release date. From what I remember in August we already had Deux and in November MW3, Uncharted3 etc etc. So as the user base of R2 wasn't very big anymore R3 sold even lower. But I must say that R3 in single player was the best version of the three, but in multiplayer they also missed out the coop game like in R2. I really missed that option in R3!

Might be true but i'd still say that david cage is one of quantic dreams biggest assets and since sony cant really own him i see no point in buying them out.
If they just wanted dev capacity it would probably be cheaper to just expand one of their existing studios.

I cant really say anyting about the knowledge about makeing this kind of games since i haven't played haevy rain (though i might get it if i enjoy beyond) but my guess is that other studios should be able to replicat that since from what i've heard the gameplay mecanics sould't really be that challenging and motion capture is now donne by practicly every bigger studio.

I don't want to downplay the value/greatness of quantic dream to me it just seems that a lot of it is dependant on  certain people and since there is no guarantee for sony they can keep these people the question is, is it worth the money your paying for it...
