In your wisdom and experience, it seems you know more than the creator of Deus Ex based on a couple early shots and video of a game he's developing.
"I've never played the game but based on the barest information possible about an unfinished version I don't like it. I hope it fails and there are no sequels, even if other people enjoy it."
Toddlers think like that.
People who don't program don't get that you can't have the concept art carry over that level of detail in the game. Or that the graphics aren't done in the final title yet with a year till launch.
I like the graphics a lot. Old style mickey and bizarre creations look great. The plot is so dark that I have to get this and I like that the graphics relate to the story.
When I read the plot I felt bad for Oswald =/
While not a Nintendo release, asshole mario is absurd.
Skip ahead to actual gameplay:

Hardcore is basically a marketing term that excludes extremely challenging games like Mercury Meltdown Revolution. Any excessively violent title will be called hardcore no matter how easy, boring or short it is to the exclusion of actually difficult games.
Look at most RPGs. They're not hard at all...leveling rewards time invested so if you suck the game makes you better so you can win. But you have to play obsessively, kill stuff and it's long, so marketing calls it hardcore ...
Bikini Zombie Slayers is awesome. I got it at blockbuster for 10 dollars and it's the best purchase I ever made there. Way more fun on the wiimote than controller.
1. Wii games begin at 50 dollars, hence total cost is 350 on that assumption.
2. Most wii games drop in price much lower than HD console games. NMH, Madworld, RE4 all cost 20 now. So it's significantly less than 300 dollars for all these.
"The sky? She is falling. Nintendo has taken a beating in the first half of the year, and for the first time in six years the company is projecting its earnings to fall."
What do you call billions in losses if falling earnings are a "beating?" The sky is falling - now if Nintendo would only emulate the other companies they'd be relatively secure with billions in losses. Instead they have to settle for earning profits.
This is serious guys. What...
You do know though that most piracy is detectable because it's a known exploit that one person developed and many others use. If you had your own exploit and just shut up about it there's almost no chance of being caught. Trouble is most pirates can't hack (the ones who do are typically responsible for absurd amounts of warez).
hahaha, this site brings us all down.
Great commenting, I'm honestly enjoying reading this thread and you have a lot of good comments. Having a math degree I have to say most people here can't count ;) 10 dollar license per game means sony will have to sell hundreds of millions of ps3 games to make it up, even assuming blueray makes back a couple billion. They can subsidize the loss using the cell in other tech but this isn't a good bet for them.
People here also ...
"The PS3 Will sell over 100 Million units in It's life time
and if that Isn't success then what is?"
Making a profit and staying in business.
Also, speculating a x2 increase in the number of consoles sold over the lifetime is subject to such heavy error that you couldn't possibly argue it.
"There is quite a bit of content out there. I having been pm'ing some wii owners to get a list of must buy games and I think I have about 40 titles I will be picking up. The Conduit and MW reflex looks like loads of fun."
Yeah, I now got 42 wii games, like 6 more new ones come out by January that I gotta pick up. Someone above mentioned that he was talking about content on individual games, not content in terms of the quantity of games.
A lot of people her...
article:
"It does seem that Iwata has a positive outlook for the Wii, though, thanks to the September price drop. According to a Reuters report from the press conference, Iwata said of the decision to lower Wii's sales targets, "With the price drop, sales returned to a certain level, but they just did not reach the level of last year around this time."
This site is like slashdot for 15 year olds. What would you suggest as an alternative with more actual technical information?
I want a forum without vocal technical illiterates for when this place gets extra stupid. I need a place with bored modders or extensive documentation I can work with on hacking my ps3 slim so I can actually play =/
EDIT: Reading more this is going to suck, at least I have something to do for a while...
Here people think the c...
"Then just keep all your old systems, I did and I got one of the longest games on the PS3 "Disgaea 3" I got a total of 111 hours of gameplay an I haven't finish everything or unlock everything."
I'm approaching this amount of gameplay on Geometry Wars: Galaxies.
What's shocking is people believed he actually said it. I went into the article looking for how badly it was misrepresented. No business man says that about their primary product during its lifetime. That's like someone shooting their stock options and reputation to hell for fun.
Update in article:
"Mainichi Shimbun reports that Iwata, speaking at a press conference in Osaka today, said "Wii has stalled. We were unable to continually release strong software, and let the nice mood cool."
[NOTE: I originally mistranslated Iwata's statement as "We failed with the Wii." The above is now the corrected form.]"
hahahaha I guess one of those sentences is silent.
I originally mistranslated the st...
"HD does not mean better Graphics People,"
Draw a circle in 640x480 filling in each pixel fully. Now draw a circle in 1920x1080 filling in each pixel fully. The former has more jaggies because you are approximate a curved object by squares (the pixels).
Plot a straight line of slope 1 in a 8x2 grid. Do it in a 100x20 grid. Which is less jaggy?
This is just the easiest example.
I had the exact same experience with the reviews and the demo. Watered down FPS/TPS and watered down platformer.
Jet Set Radio is awesome. You're old school - most people here aren't. Those ps games they love like R + C won't appeal to us cause we played HL and the like...they were introduced to FPS by ps2, not PC/Goldeneye.
"1.4 - what PS3/360/PC owner
would be envy of this game??? Seriously"
As the man above you pointed out anyone who played Deus Ex is interested.
"IF it's so fun then go trade your Wii for a SNES or game cube!!!"
1. wii plays gamecube moron, quit trolling the section
2. we own SNES or have played all SNES games we wanted
3. wii plays the best snes games
4. emulators
"the Game cube could of done most all the crap the Wii cheap games could do!!!same with Xbox 1..."
1. wii is 2x speed of gamecube
2. wii is faster than xbox unless you're some moron who lo...
