except then they can't charge 150 points for each theme :o)
It is called football, not soccer. It was being played before America was even discovered.
Madden is 'American Football', which is, of course, very different, and ultimately inferior ;o) Very similar to our rugby game, American Football introduced helmets, padded clothes, and of course, cheerleaders, to prevent the crowds from getting bored and leaving before the end of the game!
Who have you been talking to? :o)
EA games have always been subpar. There was a recent article from an analyst which stated that they provide games of poor quality and would lose revenue in the next few years if they don't sort this out. There have been other articles regarding their working practices which extort as many hours out of a developer as possible, having a direct impact on the quality of the games.
All this proves is that 360 owners are more eager to buy poor quality games, and this is logical given...
rubbish.
How does this add to the story in any way? If you have to sit through 60 hours of the boring cgi conversation stuff, then it is very disappointing.
The 360 has Yaris. Please do not tell us that 360 owners do not buy crap games. Lair will sell because it is a game with a dragon on the cover, the same as Eragon sold. Kids love dragons.
There are a few good releases coming out this Friday, with Lair, Ratchet and Clanck, Simpsons, Call of Duty 4, and so I suspect that the PS3 will still increase its sales, whether that will be more than the 360, who can tell. The 360 is still selling because of Halo3, and they have built a lot of momentum over the year, commanding more retail space in the stores
I personally believe that the PS3 is still selling to a more mature demographic than the 360, and if it is simply par...
Well looking at the combat trailer the environment looks a lot sparser than Gears of War, and the character doesn't look very detailed.
If it uses 6.74 GB from a DVD at this early stage then we can see that developers are reaching one of the many bottlenecks present in this generation.
PS3 is Ram alledgedly, 360 is space. It does make me wonder why the PS3 only has 512MB RAM, but the designers obviously know what the target capabilities are and then create the mo...
looks like the n4g pageviews will go up when all the fanboys' moms start to cut down the time the 12 year olds can spend shouting at Halo. [sigh]
What is really crap is that you cannot quit an 360 game and go back to the dashboard. Every time I want to finish a game and go back to the dashboard, maybe checkout the demos, or load an arcade game, I need to reboot the console. How crap is that?
With the PS3 I can press the PS button and choose to quit the game, going back to the XMB. Very nice.
The 360 has plenty of stuff wrong with its dashboard, funny how some fanboys forget that. It is rubbish how it is or...
The average wii player seems to like crap games anyway. Its not about the gameplay, its about how ridiculous you look when waggling the wiimote.
Having only seen the trailers so far the cgi sequences look really good, but the thrid person combat stuff does not look as good as Gears of War, in fact, the environments seem a lot more sparse in the trailer.
I am not sure that it will appeal to as wide an audience as Gears or Halo, it really depends on how much variety there is and how often combat gets interrupted to conduct long drawn out conversations.
Not my cup of tea though. I will rent it before committ...
Hey fanboys can just make it all up now! Cool
(Oh, but they were doing that already)
Makes no difference to me. I am sure the numbers will get out there anyway.
It's a wishlist you muppet. At the moment Gears of War is the only game worth playing on the 360, so if Gears of War 2 came out on PS3, I could save the space in my rack :op
Bring it out on PS3 would be cool. Might have enough room for another couple of levels :o)
Well I never played a ccg but play the odd board game, settlers, carcassonne and the like. I picked it up because it looked like a really cool game to play when we have visitors.
Haven't managed to play a game yet but did set it up and made sure everything works. Graphics are very good and it looks like it will be a lot of fun. Add to that a couple of cheap eye toy games from PSN and it adds a whole new dimension to your playstation games.
Some might say it is 4d...
I'll bring it up for you. Spiderman 3 was available in the UK weeks before the states, and therefore will have effected first day sales (assuming they are talking worldwide with their numbers).
Also, Spiderman 3 had two releases at the same time, as part of the Spiderman trilogy and also the Spiderman 3 release. This will obviously split the numbers.
Other than that, what can I say? Still waiting for Die Hard 4 to arrive, and waiting for the release of Pirates 3 ...
I have the PAL version of Spiderman 3 and it includes an uncompressed soundtrack, so I am not sure that you read the article correctly. The other two movies in the trilogy do not have uncompressed soundtracks.
Here is the quote
"Although all three films receive Dolby TrueHD options, 'Spider-Man 3' is the only one to also include an uncompressed PCM track. Additionally, technical information provided to us by Sony reveals that although the TrueHD tracks for ...
I don't see how this article can be unbiased when written by an xbox site. As far as the 360 goes then there are a number of things which they could have done better. They could have released the 360 later, thereby solving any quality issues and also not abandoning all the xbox customers they already had, and also having a better launch lineup and xbox live features like background downloading etc. in place. They could have made the SKU's simpler and not charged for every little add on requir...
Its not just a background image, you could do that already. This is a theme, which will allow you to change the icons and the wallpaper to match. I agree that these can be tedious and its not really my thing, but I am looking forward to being able to download themes that the user community will no doubt make available, or have matching themes for my PSP and PS3.
Overall, this is a great way of opening up the PS3 to user generated content. Microsoft are so focussed on controllin...
