Topic: Answer the Question

@TripleGK: The fact that independent developers can be noticed, have an audience and be successful without traditional models of development and distribution.

What is the one thing you'd most like to change about the gaming industry?

Fanboyism. I think it shows 'gamers' in a bad light and is in essence a form of racism. If not that then maybe 3rd party deals exclusive deals for multi-platform releases and micro-transactions - particularly in AAA titles. Its difficult to pick a 'single' thing.

Who is your favourite female character in the DC/Marvel universe and why?

Wonder Woman from the Justice League/Justice League Unlimited Animated Series. Not only is she really strong, she's also beautiful, and incredibly confident. She's also generous and kind.

Justice League vs Avengers. Who would win in a impromptu (Batman doesn't have time to find out their weaknesses) fight?

I would say a Draw - although with Superman, you would think he has the power to beat all the Avengers alone (unless Tony Stark discovers Kyptonite but that's not in the Marvel universe) The one difficulty though would be the Hulk - if the JL can find a way to subdue the Hulk, then its definitely the JL who wins.

Uncharted 4 looks stunning but would you rather it ran at 720p and delivered 60fps to match the 60fps of the MP and remasters or glad they stuck to 1080p and 30fps is no different from the first Uncharted games?

900p, like the MP, is not an option as the campaign has much greater draw distances, bigger spaces etc.

To be honest, a game's technical performance has never been a real concern for me. For this question though I will say that I'd prefer 1080p and 30fps, because as you say, the original Uncharted games ran at 30, and I had zero issues with them on PS3. I think 30 suits Uncharted better anyway because it just feels more cinematic (vast majority of movies are shot at 24fps).

What was the game that got you into gaming?

@Quintumply: Pong! Only downside to this was trying to get my sister (or any other person) to play it with me. After this games like Space Invaders, Asteroids etc in Arcades started appearing, Home computers like the BBC and Vic 20 came out as well as Tabletop and handheld gaming devices - like Astro Wars and Nintendos Game and Watch series. But Pong was my first gaming devices and it basically started there.

Do you think 'market age' is more important than 'technological age' when it comes to releasing a new console?

For example the PS4 isn't yet 3yrs old from a market standpoint but technologically its 'older' (say 5-6yrs old) meaning that as every year passes, the gap between new technology and it is increasing. Its expected that a mobile phone could be more powerful in 12-18months (2TFLOPS predicted by 2017 on current growth compared to PS4's 1.84tflops)

@BAMozzy: That's a tough one to answer but for me technology has moved that fast over the last five years I dont think anyone has really harnessed the power suffice iPhones practically standing still and not as many people needing the next best phone. So market age is what I would pick but it doesn't necessarily mean size doesn't matter, its what you do with it that counts a touch more.

Pushsquare or Nintendo life?

Nintendo Life

Ted Cruz or Donald Trump?

Both are going to put us in a WW3, but I would say Trump the 'Take a dump'.

Would you be a contestant on the game show WIPEOUT?

@JLPick: Yes! Why not. Big Red Balls are not really my thing but I will give it my best shot.

Nightclubbing or quiet night in?

Quiet night in. Pubs and clubs are not for me, being teetotal and whatnot

Favourite book and why?

@Quintumply: The Little Book of Philosophy by Andre Comte-Sponville. Genuinely feel it changed my life when I read it as a 15 year old. Changed how I viewed the world, how I viewed several topics, got me deeply interested in philosophy and actually made me feel smarter after reading it funny enough. Great book.

Your GOTY so far?

@Hego: I don't think I've actually played a game released this year, with backlog, kids, work, msg pp, rocket league and one piece warriors 3 I've had no time for anything else.

Do games take too long to finish these days?

@themcnoisy: Personally for me - in general no! It of course depends on the game and what you consider 'finished'. I guess its hard to finish a MP only game for example and a lot of RPG's can be completed quickly if you forego all the side-quests etc but that kind of defeats the RPG experience. A 20hr campaign (in my eyes) is around acceptable for a AAA linear story mode although if it doesn't have an MP or co-op experience, I would expect at least replayability - alternative routes/time-lines, etc. I don't know how long Arkham Knight too to 100% it (All Riddler trophies) but that offers a new game+ option and I didn't feel 'cheated/ripped off/disappointed' by its cost because of a very short game.

I do find that a 10hr campaign leaves me feeling (generally) disappointed - regardless. If I have spent £40 on a game and completed/finished it in 1-2 gaming sessions, I do feel very disappointed - especially if the game offers nothing else - no MP/Co-op mode. In general I look for at least £1 per hour minimum so on a 10hr game there is no way I would pay more than £10. I have spent around 150hrs on the Witcher 3 (for example), over 2000hrs on Destiny (even though I spent £120 on it), These games offer a lot of 'potential' hours and therefore good 'value'.

Obviously it very much depends on the game but that's 'generally' how I feel

Do you have (or interested in) SkyQ or other 4k TV provider? I know SkyQ currently doesn't offer 4k but it will be this year.

Nah. 4K can wait. HD still looks really good to me, and I've not had my TV very long, so any 4K business can 4K off for now. (I really hope that doesn't count as swearing and is taken down, because I'm pretty happy with that)

Do you still read any gaming magazines (or did you used to)? If so, what do/did you read and why?

I don't buy or read any gaming magazines any more. Over the years I have bought many - far more than I can probably remember - Magazines like CVG, Gamesmaster, Official Nintendo, Playstation and Xbox magazines, unofficial ones of these too... However as the information is 'dated' and I can see more than 'static' images at a larger size too, I stopped buying magazines - probably around 5-10 years ago now...

What big announcement from E3 (not necessarily from Sony) would you like to see and arrive before the end of the year?

Nintendo NX. Yeah I know it's cliché and I probably won't get one, but I have always been interested in what Nintendo brings to the game (no pun intended).

What was the last band, singer etc you seen in concert?

CHAGE and ASKA (1994) in Singapore.

Favorite free-to-play console/PC game(s)?

Heroes of the Storm (PC)

Favorite article on Push Square?

I don't have favourite articles - some I like more than others but that's dependent on the topic in question and the way its written.

What's your favourite weapon from ANY game?
