god, it's gonna be a loooooong year.
good points death. i own a ps3 and like it a lot, but i'll never play the fanboy just out of loyalty to a console.....so my counterpoints are just for discussion.
first, if ms didn't feel the urgent need (desperation)to curb sonys growing sales (and boost their own slowing sales).......why did MS come up with a cheaper arcade version? if, under your idea, production costs for the 360 have reduced; why then, isn't ALL OF THE VERSIONS OF THE 360 199$?also, if costs get cheaper over time...
silent hill 2, RE1 and 2.........need more games like them. more horror and less automatic guns and rocket launchers!
at this time last year, "gamesareeveil" was probably a supporter of HDDVD.
this guy needs to do his homework. DVD was selling for 29.95-34.95 the first several years out. a "bargain" was considered to be 19.95
heck, there is no point in breaking this guys opinion down......he's wrong on pretty much everything.
DON'T START COMPARISONS OF 2 GAMES RUMORED TO BE OUT A YEAR FROM NOW. i certainly don't need to see 10 fanboy articles (for or against each game) submitted each day for a year.
too many people are becoming reactionary to the hour by hour articles on this site that are coming from everyone BUT sony.
everything i've seen from sony doesn't show panic, desperation, or low expectaions. sony, in fact, is the only console maker committed to a 10 year life cycle.
so how is it they're the desperate ones? very laughable.
so who's disagreeing and why? i'm willing to add much more detail to my above ideas.(if response comes in next half ho...
just a thought, remember. and makes as much sense as what you're proposing. it could be viewed as MS taking the desperate route by going with the price cut. think about it. with the Wii clobbering the 360 (and ps3); and, it's lead over the ps3 only due to the year head start (take that year away and there is no lead).....MS is feeling the heat and are going the desperation route of toshibas failed HDDVD by going with the price reduction (to 199$) to try and boost their sales and slow the ps3 ...
it's hard to imagine any entity taking such a huge risk as to buy something the size of EA.
we don't need a new "cnet ripping sony" article EVERY DAY. they've stated the same opinions in many articles over the last 2 years.
and last year cnet was singing the praise of HDDVD. but now that it's dead, they berate blu ray(still) and sing the praises of DD. common thread here is they won't say anything positive about sony. this doesn't bother me though. what does, is that all this shows thier views are biased to begin with. this means that the info they are putting out ...
we get it.........cnet hates sony.
lets move on to game news.
when those mortars were hitting the ground in on of the vids........that was intense and amazing to watch.
i doubt that the aforementioned impact can be lessened in any way. just watching the game videos staggers the imagination. i can't even imagine the intensity from playing it.
i was unprepared for how KICK @SS that would be.
message to infinity ward and epic: your'e gonna have to do A LOT BETTER.
the govt. (bush included) announced (last tuesday) the US is in a recession. not sure, but my guess the whole world is in a recession at this point. nothing but bad news coming out of italy, germany, spain, great britian, france, and russia.
than something from VGTILT........and GK says this trailer (and the UC2 trailer) will be worth seeing.
but not for a shooter. KZ2 looks better than anything i've seen. it's gritty, immersive and chaotic. the combat seems visceral and the helghast are a menacing ememy.
this is gonna be sweet!
i'm shocked at how many people on this thread don't understand how serious the globlal economic situation is. and i don't think we've seen the worst of it.
see my posts at 14.2 and 21.
bubbles for you.
this story should bother everyone. forget games or the name of the company. many of you seem blissfully unaware of the precarious situation of the world economy. yea, make jokes and be happy about people losing their jobs. it just shows how immature and ignorant you are.
bubbles.
