They have so many players paying for the service. Unless they feel like losing money I doubt they would do that.
Though, this is a good deal from Amazon for 360 owners.
Water needs a little bit of tuning as there are technical graphical glitches, but the way it moves and the way it adds another layer of gameplay to LBP is tight.
And of course, the Mm made levels are super too.
I'm loving it.
but OnLive could be a threat.
People said the Xbox wasn't a threat, and look where they are today.
People said PlayStation wasn't a threat, and look what it did for the industry.
I won't doubt OnLive-- the ball is completely in their court.
I'm studying about Determinism so my opinion may end up changing, but regardless, he deserves punishment, or more importantly some mental help. It says he had a history and schizophrenia, so I'm wondering if he was ever treated for it or whatnot. I'm not going to be so quick to condemn the killer based on the fact that he seems to have been biologically doomed, but society works in a way that murderers cannot be able to run the streets. Regardless of his condition, this man is a murderer. The...
It's interesting to see PSN/Sony Online really taking the next evolutionary step. Can't wait to see what happens: Considering that this is going to change Sony as a whole it will be interesting to see how everything comes together.
We've had like 3 "top tens" this week, why again? Especially "Top X Games of Console Y"
And you even put MGSIV on the bottom. Surely there were better games on the PS3 "to date" than Street Fighter IV too.
Eh, it's your list, but it's not really important news, especially since it's been done to death.
Regardless my games would be (multiplats excluded):
1) Demon's Souls
2) LittleBigPlanet
3) Uncharte...
Ha. Well, it's funny that GameTrailers made all these claims that GOTY nominees had to break barriers, push and innovative, blah, blah, blah, yet they awarded the title to MW2.
It sucks because I AM a MW2 fan and I do enjoy the game. I think there is a lot of unwarranted hate towards the game, but I think it's justifiable to say that the game simply didn't do any of the things GameTrailers said it did.
Regardless, GT is one site. They are entitled to their opinion, a...
Though the momentum has certainly slowed down there was no doubt that Nintendo Wii would maintain their lead and sales.
A little off topic, but slightly related, the PS3 (slim) has also done a great job. I, for the first time, saw the PS3 slim version and I wanted to sell my 40 GB to buy it... I wonder how much I can get out of 2-3 games + a 40 GB... my friend sold his Xbox 360 for over $200, and if a used 360 can be sold for that much surely I can find someone to buy a 40 GB off...
Yeah, good thing the PS3 version is immune to hacks and glitches /sarcasm
Anyways, IW deserves this. I like MW2 but it's a shameful, lazy, and uninspired game. Killzone 2 is definitely by Shooter of the Year. K2 also has its share of problems, but at least GG had a beta and not as many stupidly flawed design traits to their game.
I will still be a MW fan, but I am happy they are ruining their rep.
So just because you thought I was a 360 owner who favored the PS3 you left me alone? And now that you think I'm a 360 owner who DOESN'T Favor the PS3 you start attacking my character? And your telling me about bias. According to you, you had no problem when I was favoring the PS3 but now that you know that I am more critical of hardcore defenders like chubear, you decide to say hi.
I own a PS3. I can see why you have the assumption that I'm a 360 owner, but just because I'm a lit...
because he uses the numbers as if they have relation to the success of Home. I didn't say that he said there were 9 mill active users, I said that he makes the implication that you have 9 mill users to socialize with as if 9 mill is a standard number. Additionally, he keeps using the number as if it proves how popular Home is when in reality, it is simply accessible to users by default.
Your Facebook analogy doesn't work because you voluntarily sign up for Facebook while Home is ...
You sound like every Demon's Souls hater a year ago.
Nobody thought it would succeed in the NA and it did. I have faith it will do well in the UK because it's a solid game.
I don't think anybody is expecting this to be MW2 or DDR in the UK, but the UK market is not much different from us: the Guitar Hero, Wii loving, MW2 playing Americans. Yet, Demon's Souls managed to get great recognition and surprising sales here.
We're not talking about bringing in avatars as a central focus or redesigning the user interface to make it look like the 360's, but stuff like launch parties, having the ability to use our characters for avatars, etc. should be made available.
If you read the review they list major slowdowns as one of the cons. The PS3 version was butchered and it's a very bad port. It's inexcusable, but if you are trying to decide it's best to get it for the 360.
Though, I'm still holding out on a patch to fix slowdowns and freezes common on the PS3 version, so you never know.
However, it's universally accepted that the 360 version is vastly superior while the PS3 version is still good, but not as great.
exactly my point: It's as if Sony is running two separate things when they should be sharing features together.
Also, with what you said about avatars, it's very annoying how there is a lack of new avatars, and it's ESPECIALLY annoying that Home avatars cannot be used still. It's the ultimate way to personalize your avatars, but Sony instead offers Premium avatars.
I'm holding out for PSN Premium to change things, but we will see what happens.
First of all, show me your stats.
You skewer the 9 million number falsely. You make the implicit implication that 9 million users actively use Home(assuming your numbers are correct) or have tried out home,It does not mean that is how many people ACTIVELY use it. There is a difference. Anybody has access to Home, so it's not hard for somebody to quickly log in and try it. Bragging about 9 million users is useless as a result.
Of course Home has come along way. I didn...
Halo wont be forgotten, nor is it forgotten. It will be remembered as the first main stream FPS on consoles that made online gaming so fun and competitive.
Though, Halo CE did not have online play for Xbox if I remember correctly.
Also, slightly related but random notice: My Killzone 2 WONT PLAY ANY FORM OF SOUND! From the beginning video to the menus, to the actual game, there is absolutely NO SOUND! It's not my PS3 because Demon Soul's has sound, and it's not my so...
I just hope it doesn't end up being a waste of money and time for Sony. They are investing in developing it further, but it's not as "ZOMG, NEXT LEVEL ONLINE PLAY!" as sony fanboys made it out to be.
Remember before home was released everybody hyped it as the key feature of PSN?
I think it would have been much more effective for Sony to incorporate features of Home onto the XMB.
Party, party chat, meeting new people in forum-like game rooms, la...
Look, nobody is blaming the games, but the company.
We are talking about how Nintendo treats the Wii.
Sony nor Microsoft are responsible for Call of Duty/the FPS genre. That is Activision, Guerilla Games, Bungie, etc. Now, say whatever you want about the genre but don't tell us that people have a problem with Nintendo while turning a blind eye towards Sony and Microsoft. MW2 gets a LOT of hate. Activision gets hated on even more. But the FPS genre/Activision does not...
Though I will say that overall all the AR feel the same. Wish IW would put in some damn recoil/sway to make the guns feel better.
Also, Stopping Power is way overpowered and the lack of a counter (juggernaut) makes the balance lopsided.
