(slightly off topic) Anyone know why Sony/BR use's slightly smaller case's than their counter parts, MS/dvd? I wonder if so when displayed it always has to be put at the front...(just an observation)

On topic, think I'll stick with the standard edition, as much as I want a GTA bag...

steriotyp6619d ago

it's a marketing thing. Blu-Ray is sleeker, cases are sleeker. The reason for a small case is nothing more than to differentiate the titles easily from DVD for purchasing reasons. That my opinion.
I love em though, got two whole shelves filled with movies and games now, not a bad start.

SUP3R6619d ago (Edited 6619d ago )

lol I thought I was the only one wondering that.
The PS3 cases look sexier to me.
360 still uses those big old crunchy PS2 styled cases :(

Kleptic6619d ago

I remember reading something about this just before the PS3 launched...Each media format creators in some form own rights to what the media gets distributed in...there is 'official' boxes for each type of media basically...and yeah, its all marketing stuff...CD had the jewel cases, DVD at first had the terrible cardboard things, as well as the plastic,...but later switched to only the plastic boxes...Blu Ray and HD-DVD used cases from the same supplier, but in different colors obviously...there are little differences between each studio's casing sometimes, but iirc the size of the boxes are controlled...and special rights have to be granted to make special addition cases and crap...I remember Peter Jackson complaining about that when making the extended LOTR set...

and the PS3 BD games have their own cases that are DVD thickness but smaller...which I like more than the super thin BD movie things...but whatever

Skerj6619d ago

This and MGS4 are what every developer/publisher should take a look at when bringing out a LE. One look at this and I couldn't help but order this one instead of the vanilla game package.

Fishy Fingers6619d ago

Some have to take 2 vanilla's rather than blowing there cash on one Neapolitan :(

sprinkles are a stretch for me right now...

KidMakeshift6619d ago (Edited 6619d ago )

I'm betting 90% of those who get this will use the security box to store their pot in, lol

jke826619d ago

Jim Crowslaw6619d ago

yea that seems to be the most accepted reason. i kno my ps3 titles frm all others even in the dark jus frm the shape of the cases

Ghoul6619d ago

boy i cant wait to hold in my hands :D

Jim Crowslaw6619d ago

why is it that im just seeing this article for the first time but yet the first few comments are from over an hr ago? since i have nothin to do at work im constantly hitting the refresh button and this article just now popped up but yet ppl done commented on it over an hr ago. Is it just this cpu or what?

Ghoul6619d ago

you can comment once the news has been submitted, but i can take some time till the news is approved and appears on the front page

Tony240ZT6619d ago

I do the same thing. Much easier to view through a RSS feed.

Looking foward to the packaged deal that I preordered through amazon.

AlterEgo6619d ago (Edited 6619d ago )

there's a PENDING news section, where articles are made and they have to get 'approved' by 10 members.

http://n4g.com/tt/Pending.a...

During the time they're in the approval process, you can comment on them.

But if they fail the approval...they don't make it to the front page.

GTA IV: Liberty City’s Finest

GTA IV turned GTA into a more grounded franchise where storytelling and immersion became just as engrossing as wrecking up open-world sandboxes.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies757d ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken757d ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing69758d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker758d ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo758d ago (Edited 758d ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing69758d ago (Edited 758d ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos757d ago (Edited 757d ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt757d ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken757d ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.
