The competitive mode is very lopsided. The benefits and upgrades make some competitions incredibly difficult when some players upgrade to a lark. Talk about fair competition...
The single player is a lot of fun and has more than it's fair share of challenges. Although I think I liked the storytelling in the first game more. The co-op is really what keeps me playing. I love the classes and the teamwork involved. Not every team is perfect but it keeps the challenge a lot of...
I think one of the main purposes of the price drop was to compete with the Wii. The launch of more casual family friendly games was also a way to find a way to compete for the living room. They are all good strategies but the Wii can't be stopped and really shouldn't be compared in this console race. Altough in three years if the 360 is still beating the PS3 then we have another story. I think most who are realistic know Microsoft has to put out it's winning hand now because the momentum ...
Fanboys than I have ever seen... I didn't even know what a fanboy was until last year... It's Microsoft that continues this silly war by making these statements. Really should it matter to the gamer??? Of course not. Does it matter to the stockholders??? No not really. They only care about the bottom line. So I would think in the best interest to everyone they just keep their mouths shut. Let the product speak for itself... I mean you are trying to compare a $199 starting price point ...
that for the most part consumers don't read reviews and don't have knowledge of extras on any one console. Tomb Raider started on the Playstation and I am sure most of the series fans are still with the Playstation... I am sure it's a decent game and I am also sure most fans of the series probably will be happy.
I must say this product is many times better than what was originally available. I think SONY is slowly working out the final quirks and seeing if it can successfully handle large amounts of people using it. The HOME 1.0 many of you have seen is nothing near what was available a week ago. Game rooms will be available that will be bonuses like Uncharted and others. The shopping area will have personalized stores with products from brands like Nike and they will have a speaker area where yo...
So let me start off by saying the Christmas season has not begun. So while some of you get disappointed by early sales I must point out this game fits all the standards of doing well during the Holiday season. With new SONY ad's coming out I believe this game will do fairly well. Most mainstream consumers aren't waiting on game release dates like many of us do. Little Big Planet is a game that will pick up momentum over the next several weeks and eclispe at least a million.
...
Most sales occur during the late November thru December period. For those of you who think Resistance 2 and Little Big Planet are selling poor I have news for you.. This is really just the start. For the most part these two games among others haven't even hit their stride. By the end of the year these two titles will be closing in on two million worldwide. I think some will have to bite their tongue if this holds true...
and it comes in over 3 gigs. I know it doesn't make sense when you download it but I believe that is because it's compressed. Then when you install the files they are uncompressed. The graphics are top notch and some of the spaces are large so 3 gigs could be a possibility. There is some type of initial compression since installations can move quite slow for just 30 megs...
Kind of like with COD. So we go from last years crappy version to an even crappier version. It's really to bad this series has taken a next gen nose dive. They really ought to learn something from Criterion who can make a great cross platform game. The PS3 is hard to develop for excuse is really old by now. Developers have had over two years to learn the PS3 and if they can't make a decent version on the PS3 then well they should just delay the release.
I do think SONY is trying to attract those who may be in the mainstream. People who don't spend time looking at reviews or don't know a Resistance from a Gears of War. These commercials are about wonder. Also as you can tell they are building up the product first before they unleash the new wave of ad's.
I don't think any console is more hardcore than the other. It's the games plain and simple. Games that are more than just about beating them. Online gaming and objectives that are objectives with rewards and much more to games and make them more hardcore. Resistance 2 is a whole other game than it's first incarnation. With trophies and co-op gamers spend hours upon hours trying to accomplish more goals. Making it much more hardcore. A hardcore gamer that is an adult either has an addic...
that has been cancelled get so much attention. I do hope SONY listens to their fanbase and realizes how much people people really want this game. The concept and gameplay seem top notch and a game like this could be a sure seller if it's done right. I don't think SONY junked this game. I just believe they moved it down the priority list.
if you prefer one console over the other. It also doesn't keep you from being a fanboy if you own all three. I owned a 360 and Wii this gen but I love my PS3. It just offers the best gaming experience for me. I like games like Resistance over Gears or Little Big Planet over Banjo Kazooie. That doesn't make me a fanboy. The young gamers who grew up on Nintendo vs. SEGA are now dealing with a new console war. I think the internet is really what causes the biggest problem. Youtube has un...
says something. SONY is changing it's focus to a more mainstream crowd. A crowd that doesn't play games more than a few hours a week. The mainstream is what the Wii has conquered and now SONY wants a piece of the pie.
Last year there was a a lot more pro 360 sentiment and the PS3 wasn't winning over a lot of people with it's $600 price tag and few games. This year most stores I go into are good about being gamers. I have actually found a lot of PS3 owners working at the game stores. This weekend I probably found the most negative encounter I have seen in a while. I was at a large electronics retailer that just announced bankruptcy. A woman asked an assistant if they had PS3's that were compatible with...
Seriously have you ever sold anything??? Have you studied marketing. Every person who has been successful will you the same thing... Word of mouth works every time. I am not saying advertising is not needed but you really can't think that games like Gran Turismo and even the original GTA's sold millions based on advertising. Even cars like the Prius have done well off of word of mouth. An excited customer who loves the product well sell it better than any advertisement. That has been pr...
Black Friday is not the biggest sales day, December 23rd is. It is actually in the top five. Black Friday also does not guarantee the best sales. Many times you can get some great deals but if this holiday season is slow those deals will only get better. Also if SONY will announce anything big it will be next week some time... Hearing the economic news it is all about the Wii and it's amazing sales. One of the few bright spots in economic news...
Which is a perfect example because they are hardly ever advertised. So why can one console like the Wii almost never advertise their console and games and still sell millions upon millions. A lot of it is word of mouth. If any of you have sold anything in your life then you know the best tool is word of mouth. Little Big Planet is one of those special games that will get plenty of word of mouth. Generally a game like this will start out slow and gradually build momentum and parents buy i...
People all have their prefrences and fun is subjective. Some person may think reading a book is a lot of fun while some other person may think rock climbing is fun. Same with movies. Video games have more variation than they ever have. If someone likes Gears more than Ico then that's their opinion. I know I have discovered a lot of unheard of movies that hardly made anything at the box office. A great game doesn't have to sell a million copies to be fun. It doesn't even have to have gr...
You are talking nonsense... Give me five examples that third party games are selling less on the PS3 than 360... Ratio wise... Okay give me three. I think all you have to do is look at games like GTAIV, COD4, MGSIV, Guitar Hero, Madden, FIFA, and several others to see how the PS3 sells third party games. So you are making up false information just being a fanboy. Developers are happy with the PS3 and despite being in last place it has down a better job for the third parties than the Wii......
