Failures From the Future: Potential Disasters for 2008

Gamedaily writes, "There is a special machine in the bowels of the GameDaily office that secretly harnesses the processing might of all the computers and console systems of the world (take THAT Folding@home) in an effort to predict the future. It still hasn't done anything useful like give us stock tips or lotto numbers, but we still believe in it. So, we fed all the gaming news we could find into the system and asked it to predict potential disasters in 2008."

This whole thing was mindless... These idiots need to be kicked in the TIP OF THE D*CKS... all of them.

I don't know, I thought it was a pretty good list since each thing they listed makes sense. Though I wish their title wasn't so melodramatic, it does seem like potential problems for next year.

smirx6776d ago

to see an article on gaming in 08' that didn't particularly trash any "one" system. All in all, it was just for fun. I held my breath, expecting to see them predict the death of the PS3. To my delight, they didn't sink that low.

All Sony games have disaster written all over it. I'm gonna laugh so hard when Killzone gets 6's and 7's from all the Internet because, as everybody with brain should know, it's a mediocre franchise.

ruibing6776d ago

Did you even look at the first thing they listed as a potential (and I use the word lightly) disaster for next year?

gamesblow6776d ago

i enjoyed Killzone, myself... I thought it was pretty much the best FPs I had ever played up until Resistance. Sure it had some things wrong with it, but I thought as far as presentation goes... Killzone was tops. It was way too hard and too long, though. < That didn't sound good.... did it?

You and and all the trolls like you are the reason why Xbox 360 fanboys look bad you asshole.

iceice1236776d ago

Will never take off nothng new there. I also agree with Astro, except MGS4 won't flop, it is infact the only PS3 game that will not flop.

jackdoe6776d ago

Star Craft II may indeed get delayed until 2009, but I really doubt Half-Life Episode 3 will end in the same deus-ex machina way as Half-Life 2. It had better not. The episodes are the true ending to Half-Life 2 and not the lame cliffhanger one in the original. Valve wouldn't fvck up this second chance.

TwissT6776d ago

Super Smash Brawl gonna be a failure? I really doubt that, and if, by some act of a supernatural power it does flop in reviews, it will still have massive sales.

jackdoe6776d ago

I agree. I mean, it looks to be good old fashioned fun. However, if they tweak around with too much, some SSBM pros won't be able to do their "advanced techniques" such as wave dashing and all that other stuff.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing63d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit64d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing63d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9263d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
