I should have stated a RTS has not sold 2 million copies on a console. That is what I meant. Needless to say it will be interesting come late February to see what happens...
what they are talking about. The hundreds of millions of dollars to just research and develop a console is not a smart move for any company like EA. EA is in a great position with many popular franchises that sell in the millions. Do you really think EA would be that stupid to take a chance like that with already three companies competing. Even though the video game market is doing very well it still takes companies like SONY and Microsoft at least two years before they see a profit. A p...
is RTS games have never proven to be big sellers. You find me one RTS game that has sold over 2 million. Now Halo is branding a RTS game. Of course this well draw many Halo fans as well as RTS fans. It will sell well. That doesn't take the power away from Killzone. Despite the first one getting average to mediocre reviews it still managed to sell over 2 million. The hype built for that game isn't even half of what Killzone 2 has received. SONY isn't afraid to show this game off and th...
I don't expect much moving and shaking coming from the consoles. Many years ago the CES was the big videogames show but with E3 it became an afterthought. I was impressed with SONY showing off 3d as I hope that becomes the future of gaming...
how some people think this is negative. This is done in business all the time. Have you ever seen automobile commercials that point out price difference or quality. How about computer commercials(Apple vs. Microsoft anyone?). Even commercials for restaurants. This happens all the time and is an effective way to advertise your product. When I was in sales I always used comparisons. When you are selling a more expensive product you really have to educate the consumer and that is what SON...
you need to understand the definition of a pedophile as compared to a predator... A pedophile generally tracks down children under the age of 12. They also have a serious problem that can lead to serious crimes. You just can't use the term pedophile for everyone who goes after a teenager. They are very different.
Lastly this is very silly because if teenagers are naive enough to put themselves in vulnerable situations in HOME of all places they share some responsibility. SON...
manages to lower the price and take momentum away from both the 360 and Wii I am sure the blogs will still give negative PS3 stories. I am sure 2009 will be a great year for the PS3 but I think people will still be pushing for the PS3 to fail. If you are a gamer you want the PS3 to suceed.
SONY is like the two time defending national champion that always gets picked on. They pulled a Yankees move and went expensive hoping everyone would jump back on board. Let's just say it's not easy being on top...
that made me believe in the PS3. From the very first appearance over 3 years ago to now. For most who buy this game it will be their first Killzone game and I think most will be more than pleased to have the flagship shooter of the PS3...

The criticism of Pete Carroll became louder when Carroll's first USC team opened the 2001 season going 2–5, with some sportswriters writing off the once-dominant Trojans, who were the only Pac-10 football team to never finish in the national top 10 during the previous decade, as a dying program.[21][16] However, after the slow start, Carroll's teams proceeded to go 67–7 over t...
and totally misinterpret it. It's unfortunate that the poor economy will probably have a determental effect on companies like SONY. Although trying to act like they are going to let their gaming division go shows ignorance. The Playstation division is one of the most succesful divisons for SONY. If they were in a desperate situation we have already seen a price drop which is always a sign of a console failing. SONY is banking on 2009 being a great year for the Playstation brand. SONY ha...
of the fact we really haven't hit next gen. Most of the mainstream casual crowd that was behind the success of the PS2 hasn't jumped over. I don't see most of these consumers jumping over until late 2009 or 2010.... So I think the PS3 is far from losing this gen...
and I love it. I originally bought a PSP when it launched and the newer PSP 3000 is so much better. What I am a little worried about is when I have went into stores like Target and Walmart it almost seems as though they are dealing away with the PSP game section. It's unfortunate because I want the PSP to be a success but I don't think these stores will give it a chance. Noticing the strong advertising campaign I don't think SONY has given up on the PSP...
My PS3 broke on me this Summer. It was my 40 gig so I was able to get it replaced for nothing. I had no chance to deactivate it. Although I didn't think this would be a problem. I had downloaded all the episodes of Sunny in Philadelphia plus some other shows. In total I had spent probably close to $80 on shows. When I got my new PS3 I was not able to redownload anything from the PSN video store. I kept getting the messages that I already had a system activated for video content. I cal...
At first it was a threat to SEGA as Nintendo would have a disc based add-on to compete with the Genesis and SEGA CD. It was a great idea for Nintendo fans as it would bring SONY innovation with Nintendo games. Instead Nintendo felt threatened by a company as big as SONY and duped SONY for Phillips. Of course this propelled SONY into creating their first Playstation. This also kept Nintendo from getting CD rights. Some may agrue that point but there is a reason Nintendo has never actually...
I don't remember any comment like that. SONY actually stated last year they were going to re-evaluate their strategy as far as exclusives. SONY has always paid for certain aspects. Whether it's marketing or development. They may not put up a large sum of money but they have given incentives to developers. I wouldn't be surprised if SONY made a move to get some timed exclusivity for Bioshock 2. It really doesn't matter if the original sold more on the 360. Of course it would. It came o...
I doubt Microsoft is profitable on the 360... Especially after a big price drop. I could be wrong. Although Microsoft saw themselves falling behind by years end so they took a major step reducing price and even bundling two games. Ingenious move as it has made the 360 hot once again. SONY has been slow to respond which is good for their company but not great for the gaming public. I don't really see a price drop until Summer at the earliest. Despite Killzone 2 coming in February it is n...
People need entertainment when things aren't so good out there. With the economy video games are an affordable get away. The only thing I can see changing is the slew of games that are average to mediocre. Gamers are not going to spend as much money buying game after game.
you would know they always use the in game engine. Cutscenes are exactly the same as game play. So yes the teaser does look more impressive. Nathan looks a lot more realistic. The colors look even brighter. Not a surprise since this will be released two years since the first.
that SONY and Microsoft are going to go the Wii route. There is a problem in trying to take Nintendo head on without alienating your fan base. Do you think it would be wise for Six Flags Magic Mountain to turn over half their park to children's rides? Do you think it would be wise for Wendy's or Jack in the Box to change half their menu to favor children?
This would really cause all those places to fail. There is a reason all three console makers sell well. That is because t...
