1)Anyone else upset that Xav basically said everyone taking the time to add a comment didn't matter and that he didn't even bother to read them anyway. This is especially weird coming from a guy who works for Joystiq, a website that relies on people going to and viewing its content. I thought it was out of line and turned me off of the podcast this week.

2) Last time I bring up KillZone: Shadow Fall- We have had this conversation many times on this thread but to bring up a FPS like KillZone and not mention the impact its multiplayer can have is crazy to me. This is especially true for a PS4, which now has a headphone with the system, a new community based UI and all of the share features that may change the way multiplayer games like Shadow Fall work going forward.

3) Guerrilla Games showing another KillZone game instead of a new IP for the PS4 launch is smart in my opinion. KZ is a known franchise, it has a strong Playstation fan-base behind it and it has a very strong multiplayer that can show off the new features listed above in 2. Rumor is that Guerrilla has another team working on a new IP. I feel it was smart to come out with a known and respected game first and then, when the PS4 has a greater user base, come out with something new. And let's be honest, if Guerrilla would have shown a new IP and not the next KZ at the conference then many games media would have said, It might still be terrible because these are the guys who made KZ and NEGATIVE, NEGATIVE, NEGATIVE talk.

    Xav, you said don't bother reading the comments to Andrea, maybe only meaning the haters, maybe not. But I would put this back on you and say how do you think the developers of games feel when they listen to the games media talk about their games? In many cases, the games media comes off like the haters in the comments thread when they talk about games and developers. The number of times I've heard someone in the games media on a podcast bash and laugh at a game, saying cruel and sarcastic things, like the people in the comment thread that you seem to dislike, is common place. I wonder what the average game developer on a AAA game feels about the games media and how they talk about their games? If I worked on a game for over two years, I would want my game to be more than a dumb punchline to a bad joke.
    
    And this isn't all geared towards you Xav, it's games media in general lately. It really started bothering me when I listened to the Eurogamer Podcast: PlayStation 4 special edition about the PS4 reveal. I disagreed with what they said, but that wasn't my problem. It was the way they spoke with disdain and Cynicism with actual boredom in their voices.
    
    Here is a link for those interested in what I hope will not become the norm:
