I'm not saying money wasn't a motivator, it was certainly was, but they WERE asked.
Now, the article is nothing more than fanboy-fodder for Sunday hits. The guy writes bashing Sony one week, now Microsoft. It's what this generation of "gaming" become.
Actually, Nintendo asked them in a partnership on a CD-rom based console, that would ultimately evolve into the PSOne after Nintendo screwed them over.
I too hate it when developers support their games with DLC that actually interests me and warrants purchase.
MS "ruined fun" as much as Nintendo or Sony...ridiculous suggestion. Owners of the 360 certainly have, however.
Themes?
At least I didn’t spend $400 on an Elite DVD player. At least I don’t have to pay for the Internet twice to play PC games, erm, exclusives online with 12-16yr old douchebags. At least I get to choose whether I want to see a lame Avatar or not. At least my console isn’t broken up into a hodge-podge of accessorized nickel and diming your 11th grade calculus class can’t help you figure out. At least my console plays MGS4 and will play COD:MW2 (yeah, 3rd parties really give Sony awful support – C...
At least my console works. At least my console has free online play. At least not half my consoles "exclusives" this generation show up on PS3 (Fallout DLC, NG2, Tales, and on and on). Now run over to Gamespot and check out how you can watch "All Dogs Go To Heaven" with a Netflix party and NOT "Pineapple Express". Would you like to continue this pissing match?
And both are lame as hell. At least some character costumes are unlockable with Home.
I've reached the point where I'm sick of hearing about a price drop we all know will happen with a slim model we all know is real. It's like that whinny 4yr at the grocery checkout, wanting...something. Just stfu already.
Bubbles! I laughed so loud, I woke the baby!
I hate sounding like a party pooper, but what is the gaming communty's interest in her? She's as entertaining as Nicole Richie and seems like she's "trying" to be wity. Or funny. Or knowledgeable. Now that's not to say she isn't attractive, hell naw. I just tire of things involving her. It would be like caring about Tom Arnold's tweets.
1080p doesn't matter to 720p owners.
360 owners will buy anything man. I have a buddy who still has the HD DVD addon.
No, I make it sound like controlling games in the way THEY SHOWED looked like garbage. That's all.
That's a two-way street Dread.
Sorry, but Burnout did not look fun playing on Natal AT ALL. More novelty than anything. Look at how long it has taken people to accept motion control (the Wii wasn't the first folks). Now you expect, after 3yrs of mainstream NINTENDO appeal, people are going to want to flail around like the young woman in the demo?
What's the point of the tech, if I can just use what I already have? If the rebuttal is "Use a steering wheel" or "Use your controller", then those things are stopping me from Natal. Yes, it's cool. But I don't see it as practical in its applications as Nintendo or Sony. And don't forget price...if you think a device with 3 cameras and 2 processors is going to be $50 or even $100, you're in for a surprise.
Almost forgot..."Use a plate"....LMFAO.
It has buttons. Using an air steering wheel is just...lame.
