Couldn't have said it better myself. The first time I saw him I thought he looked like a child molester.
Before I clicked the link, I knew that it was either Kotaku or Joystiq. And I was right... Initial loading times versus loading times after you have installed the core files is totally different. Did you see how fast the other games on Gamespot's live show last Friday loaded? They were all very fast.
I'm just hoping that none of the games load as slow as Oblivion on the 360. Not flaming or anything, but those load times are horrible. And as DJ mentioned, the Jak games do...
2.2- You haven't been on Joystiq or Kotaku's sites in the past year or so have you? Wii fans are very obnoxious in my eyes, at least the ones on those sites.
2.0 and 2.1- Agree with both of you, the question to be debated is when PS3 will pull ahead and by how much. Will they come out and "Dreamcast" the 360, or will MS hang tough until 2008 or 2009 when PS3 edges it out, only in time for MS to launch their next system? I think MS will probably lead for a good pa...
Nice to hear that average gamers are enjoying the experience. Can't wait till my first hands on, hopefully in a few days, at most a couple weeks. Just depends on when the demo units are out for the public.
That's hilarious!
Yeah, I actually enjoyed the interview a lot. Didn't seem like all marketing speak like a lot of executives seem to spew out. Seemed like an actual gamer and was very forthcoming. Good call on getting this guy for the job, Sony.
Most parents will already have a PC if they can afford to spend $600.00 on a gaming console. If they have a PC, access to the internet is already there so if a kid wants to look at porn, it's no different. I see your point about having safeguards built in, but I don't see how Sony would be responsible. Should parents be responsible if their kid looks at porn using Internet Explorer? No, it's their fault for not supervising their kids and telling them what they can't look at.
Good review, but not surprised about the score. I'm expecting between 9.0 and 9.5 from all the major websites and magazines. The review was weird because it's an obsure site, and I would think that the major sites would have their copies first. I was hoping for some more details on the story and whatnot, but it sounds like a great game nonetheless.
That browser actually looks really sweet. Hopefully I'll be able to load Firefox on the Linux portion of the hard drive as I'll probably use that if I'll be on there for an extended amount of time. Also, hopefully they'll enable bluetooth keyboard and mouse as I really don't want to be sitting within a few feet of my HDTV, just not good for the eyes. Last of all, I want that Bravia...
I encourage everyone to go to Three Speech and comment on the most recent update on the interview with Ted Price and tell them that this needs to change. There needs to be a universal buddy list and that should be what is used in the games for matchmaking and clans and such. Ted Price said this can be fixed via a patch if fans want it, so we need to let him and Sony know that we want it. I've already posted a comment on there, would encourage everyone to do the same.
theMART- Your racist comments are very offensive and you really just need to stop talking. And that's not even to mention how much you spam and bring up Gears of War in every single topic you comment on.
Mods, how does theMART still have any bubbles? Any other site I've been on he would have been banned long ago.
This will probably be the first Blu-ray title that I buy.. As long as the rush doesn't mean that they're shortchanging special features of the quality of the transfer.
Edit: On second thought, it'd better be cheaper than the list price of $39.98. If the actual sale price at Best Buy or Walmart is that high, I'll wait until they drop the price. But it'll probably be $24.99 like most of the other Blu-ray releases.
That's cool man, to each his own. Hope you enjoy it. :)
That was hilarious, made my day.
That's my understanding. So I agree.
Not sure if you were disagreeing with me or the article (or both), but I was just relating my impressions from the time spent with it. I know from your past posts that you like Nintendo, which I have no problem with, but I'm just saying that I did not care for the game that I played or the control method. It was very frustrating and did not scream out, wow, this is next gen controlling methods. It also didn't seem as simple as Nintendo is wanting it to be. You're going to hate to hear thi...
So that's about $823.86 ($599.99 console, $49.99 controller, two games at $59.99 each, and sales tax at 7% making it $53.90) if they charged full price for everything and with tax included. They'd probably make the total price around $750 or $800 to make you think you're getting a great deal. I would think that most people that pre-ordered knew that they were buying bundles as it's always that way for new console launches. It wouldn't bother me as long as I got to pick the two games that w...
Finally someone else is saying this. I tried Wii Boxing here at the local Nintendo Fusion show about a month ago, and it was crap. It only seemed to recognize certain motions, and I couldn't figure out for the life of me what the motions were. Tried doing small and compact motions, tried flailing away at the screen. Point being, after our time on it, my friend and I both agreed that it was interesting having a new control input, but we would have both preferred having a regular controller...
Scythesean- That's what I'll be doing too. Screw Monster trying to sell these overpriced cables to ingorant consumers, and screw Best Buy for talking consumers into buying these cables. For component or VGA, I could see this. But for a digital connection, who cares what name is on the cable as long as the connection is not broken. And there are plenty of good cables out there for much less than Monster.
Hahaha! CliffyB and him should have a competition... :)
Good interview. He seems to be just what Sony needs in a PR man: real gamer, sense of humor, knowledgable about what he's discussing, and willing to admit past PR mistakes.
