PCW: Will this exclusive period [of commitment to HD DVD] extend for a limited time, or is this an indefinite arrangement?
Bell: At this moment in time, [HD DVD exclusivity is] an indefinite commitment. The core of this announcement comes from our experience, and what our consumers are looking for. We hope this will influence consumers' choices.
New report from Skillsearch found that 22% of those surveyed had been laid off within the past 12 months.
It's a step forward for Stop Killing Games.
The Callisto Protocol director thinks the solution involves the right people, the right timing, and perhaps a little bit of AI
I don't agree with that. I WISH I could agree with that. But buying habits and customer opinions prove otherwise
We've seen developers in the AAA space try new things and ideas. More often than not, the customers aren't willing to give things a chance, or not enough people buy into the project for it to grow.
Creativity works better in the indie space because the budgets, pressures, and expectations aren't the same.
it's a nice idea and it worked during the PS2/PS3-era when AAA didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars. smaller budgets and shorter development time left room for more creativity and more risk. a game didn't need to sell 4 million+ copies to break even. things are different now.
This is the guy who bragged about crunching his staff and having them work through the night. Crunch culture has lost more talent and done more damage to the industry than any other factor. Screw him.
150,000 million will make me eat elephant dung too! now that they commited to hddvd they have no choice but to rave the format for increased sales
You mad???
Ok... Sony fanboys and blu-ray leg humpers... no use on crying over this... move on into another topic. You can kick... and scream.. and cry.. and pull your hair.. and it will not go away...
How about you go find some RROD article and post it on this site... It will help you feel better.
It's not healthy to punish yourself over this... There are other studios and movies you can watch on your blu-ray player.
i'm still fairly skeptical and on the fence about 'HD' formats, but I think that this will promote competition and this can only be a good thing for the consumer in the end. From what I gather, there seems to be more than meets the eye than just storage space when looking at these formats.
It is cheaper to produce for the Motion pictures industry. HDDVDs can be stamped out on regular DVD lines with minimal upgrades. Not to mention all of the added features and internet options are standard on every HDDVD player.
With the decrease on HDDVD players in price to a starting pricepoint of only $299 it makes no sense to pick Bluray. Why pay more for the same thing??
And as stated in the article by Paramount the extra space of 50 gigs on Bluray isn't even being used most of the time. And if bonus features don't fit they will simply add it on in another disk.
This sounds strikingly familiar to the console DVD9 vs. Bluray debate. Kind of makes you wonder.
