come on, you think that means cause for worry?
i'm not sure of the point you're trying to make.
their first box was wiped out by the ps2.
and take away the year head start and ps3 is outselling it. (and the year headstart was with ZERO COMPETITION)
i think ms needs to show that their able to dominate at least 1 generation before they're considered a real force in the game industry .
sorry to be off topic but yea, even today "rumours" is amazing. it's too bad we don't get this type of quality albums anymore. i think the ipod and buying "singles" has ruined the "album" concept.
boy bruce, your microsoft glasses must be reeeeeally thick to see all of that as "potential fact".
really, why not base your article on reality next time.
see my post below
but for all the above tech speak and arguing one thing can't be ignored: games that are out like ratchet, HS,GT5p, uncharted, MGS4 are amazing to look at and watch in motion.
games that i've seen in previews like: KZ2, LBP, wardevil, FF13/vs, mafia 2 all appear to up that bar.
and no 360 game before or since original gears has that kind of wow factor.
forget the tech talk; as long as the sony machine can crank out the above games in all their graphical amazement; ...
you spout off the same stuff in all your posts. and you're nuts about the textures in uncharted. or you really haven't played the game.
i agree with everything you said cviper; bubbles for you. there is no way a "catch all" engine like UE can match a high-quality engine made specifically for that devs games. (uncharted engine or ratchet engine for ex.)
i agree with the LBP comment. the game has great visuals and looks to be addictive.
the last trailer left me very interested and the look of the game was stunning.
for the 360 it's "warhound". haven't heard much about it. hope it makes the show.
i guess he ignores all the crazies and losers you come in contact with during online matches. (i won't even go into the freaks that play mmos' like WoW) look, whereever you go in life, you're going to meet some oddballs. home is no different. but you don't have to associate with them if you don't want to. plus, home is going to offer more than just interacting with other people. some of the game rooms that devs like ND and insomniac are going to have sound really cool.
if you did, who was the guy sev and company were sent in to get? and who was the traitor? and what did that traitor say at the end about the helghast attack force? and of course they're not going to release info on kz2 story; it continues story from part 1.
and when you say you go by dev. history....rare couldn't miss when they were with nintendo but that certainly hasn't spelled success since they were bought by microsoft.
and gears doesn't come close to KZ2. 1. in gears all the surrounding enviroment is blurry and the distance you can see is hindered by some type of....fog? then there is the characters. yea, they look good but they also look like sprites. there doesn't seem to be any depth to them. then there is the characters in gears...very comical, i mean, this game should be called "wrath of the world wrestling federation".
and what's up with 360 games in general? halo looks like halo2 wh...
i hear ya, and i fully agree.
doesn't it get tiring to spam ps3 threads with the same crap? i see gears2 and all the blurred enviroments but i don't say anything.
it looks less cartoonish and much more real and violent. the death animations are super incredible now. i could go on but i am left super-impressed with everything i'm seeing from the game.
it's july 9, 2008 right now. go back 5 years and it would be july of 2003! there is nothing to indicate this game was conceived in '03? the original target trailer was shown in middle of 2005. so, if game dev. started sometime in first half of '05 that would make full dev. cycle up to jan. '09 (i month before launch) a total of 3 years and 9-10 months. quit saying 5 years; that's just a bunch of nonsense. and there were a jungle level and mountain level in KZ1. plus i loved the mall level too...
take that 1UP
and this game hasn't even come out yet. these people are getting way too aggressive. i guess freedom of choice applies to everything but games.
plus, check out other kz2 threads and look for the "360 fans". you'll have your answer.
