@ Idle: Microsoft changed their policy after XI, so you're wrong.
They're not trying to build more 1st party studios. Microsoft's Xbox Live policy won't allow for what FFXIV is trying to accomplish. Xbox Live, unlike PSN, is a very closed service. GWAVE had it right, they won't allow 2 subscriptions.
Lol Insomniac. Yes they make quality games but when's the last time they made a game with a 90%+ average rating?
Potential RPG of the year for 2011.
The PS3 version of Dragon Age destroyed the 360 port. It did look better than Mass Effect 2, which runs on the outdated UE3.
360 fans only buy shooters.
Odion is known for his unprecedented loyalty for Microsoft. I'll take the word of the hundreds of those who complained about Kinect lag over his any day. The build shown at E3 was the most recent and showed full second lag response. Lol @ CNET trying to fool idiots. They're already owned by M$, they don't need paychecks to make such claims.
This news just made my week. I expected the announcement to be made shortly after being released in Japan but not this soon.
First Crackdown 2 and now this. Wow.
Actually it's called inferior hardware in general, not just DVD9. Versus XIII would look like a PS2 game on 360, running at sub-480i, jaggies out the wazoo like the 360 port of XIII, etc. Even Bungie, which used to be owned by Microsoft, couldn't make an HD game on that console. Halo: Reach is still sub-HD. So much for CURRENT generation, rather than LAST.
The end of 3rd party exclusives? Maybe. But whoever published this retarded piece obviously forgot about Sony's 20+ 1st party developers, hence the reason Sony owns the best games of every generation. Sony doesn't buy timed exclusives from 3rd party developers. What's the point? Sony buys developers. :)
So is it the end of exclusive video games? You bet it is, for Microsoft.
Just a few examples.
Sony owns Naughty Dog.
Sony...
Is that why IGN scored it 2/10? Is that why this same website that's submitting this sad joke of an article right now scored it a 4? 66 on Metacritic, 'nuff said. The game is utter trash.
The only thing old Cole did for me was annoy the living shit out of me. Easily the most forgettable Playstation character out there. Generic as balls, no real character, nothing smart to say. The reboot was very much necessary. The enemies look better, the city looks real, etc. Enough with the tired messenger boy trash. Everything about old Cole was just awkward.
Hideo Kojima isn't working on this. Lords of Shadow is being developed by Mercurysteam, which by the way have never in their entire history of games development made a good game. A team at Kojima Productions is helping them out but Kojima himself isn't. As far as we know, he only helped in developing the protagonist. He's focused on what he's going to reveal at TGS. :)
Looks like Uncharted 2, only in superhero sandbox form.
500K worldwide for Alan Wake. Sad. I'm sure it wouldn't have flopped so bad if it was a FPS. After all, it's all they buy. Kinectimals is supposed to be a clever name obviously but it is in fact the worst name I've ever seen for a game, or just anything. If you're older than 2 years old and you're playing this, I feel bad for you.
Lightbox.
This is what happened, Cold. youtube.com/watch?v=ebqdTFj9T2 o
Lmfao.
If you can't tell the difference between 30 and 60, you: A. are in denial B. need glasses immediately C. are retarded. The difference is night and day to me. 60 is smooth as butter, 30 (with the exception of Uncharted 2) is often choppy. God of War 3 achieved 60 fps even while fighting on Titans. This news is certainly disappointing.
