I agree with you there DJ. If HD DVD fails it's going to be because many companies (including Microsoft) are not taking the risk as Sony is doing. I guess it's because Microsoft have nothing to lose. It's not like they own HD DVD and will be getting royalties for every movie sold. They only make money of the drive not the movies. On the other hand Sony is a movie studio and is very involve in the movie industry even more than with games.
Even with all the support blu-ray is getting fro...
If they don't enforce it for certification then developers will simply not spend time on it. Probably Sony will, but not third party developers. I can understand why Sony wouldn't make it a requirements, I already have a total of 300-400 achivements, if Sony would enforce it than my HOME would be more of a junk yard than anything else.
I invite anyone to my Home and uhhhhggg.. find/compare my trophies with theirs. mmm.. I wonder if it would be more practical/quicker having a 2d list th...
To think that only Sony and Nintendo are capable of manufacturing a handheld it's naive. The funny thing about it; is that the very same people manufacturing hardware for Nintendo and Sony are teh very same doing it for Microsoft. So, on the technical aspect it's all good.
Also, why do people think that there it can only be one console in the industry. We all want that our console be the one to win the console war, but in reality there is no such thing. Big corporation talk abo...
There is a saying, "What you are about to say was already said". It obvious that an Idea like "home" is barely innovative. I am sure most of you already about a game called "Sims". It allows people to make their own home, add chairs, interact with people, talk to people, meet people. But this not about that. We must be give Sony credit for taking an existing concept and adapting it to be use on a console in order to create communities to all type of gamers. Ninte...
With the strong influence Sony and Nintendo have over the people. I don't blame why someone people avoid it. The Playstation brand is huge. Playstation has become the synonimum of games as atari used to be. I remember people saying I am going to play atari when what they actually had was coleco or some other console.
It's very easy to not even question what one is getting before buying it when a product is popular.
There is no reason why 2 or even 3 consoles can't be gre...
Why don't see Windows Vista as just another Microsoft platform? If you think you are hurting Microsoft by not Buying the xbox 360 and then running to the store and getting Vista to play Halo 2 or Gear of War you are fooling yourself. It is like saying, Metal Gear is not exclusive because it was released on the PSP.
As matter of fact it's Microsoft best interest that you choose the PC over the xbox 360 since a copy of windows vista will probably cost more than the xbox 360 and the manuf...
With this features I will definally buy a PS3 in the future. Never the less I will not run to the store today just Sony anounced this. I don't buy consoles for what they are going to have but for what they have. This is another reason I want a PS3 (other reasons are MGS and FF) but just like the others we have no release dates yet. This can take Sony a year to release. I am not trying to discourage anybody by saying this, but the reality is that lots of things can happen between now and when ...
This can be great for kids if they learn the controls. Would I spend hours doing this instead of a game? Don't get me wrong this is great, graphics and physics.
Sorry people, I think is because of I'm very tired. But can anyone please explain to me what the hell is this? I didn't understand the video. Is it a game? Another Home? By the way home is great.
It is interesting how Sony fanboys such as vincenzo360 are so quick to try to start a flame war.
Back to topic, I think this service has the potential to be great.
This game remind me a bit of Sims. I think it's a great Idea to join virtual rooms where one can interact with people and meet them. I think this can create great communities. I think this is a game of it's own.
vincenzo360 was quick to point out how this is better than xbox live, but to Sony's ...
As usual people never get what they were specting. Sony shows people CGI and people go "WOW"! then once everyone is excited they show game play and people go "Nothing I've never seem before". Motorstorm and now this. I remember back at E3 Sony fan actually though that the motorstorm cgi shown was actual gameplay.
Gaming? You mean those piece of crap games that can't even match the original gameboy? Wait until people can play Uno against xbox 360 or PC users, see their gamertag, achivements, download and play xbox live gain via wifi. IPod overraded and people buy them because they think is cool. But when it comes to functionality they are the worst. Name one thing that the Zune or more MP3 players can't do that the IPod can do? Dude, the IPod dont not even have FM radio.
People buy it because it...
The lack of online support on Nintendo's and Sony can hurt them on the long term. Lets not forget that companies make money by selling games and content. 6Million online accounts usually means 6 Million people have access to Microsoft online marketplace and will buy arcade games, movies, map packs, etc. These sources of revenues would be impossible without online support. Developers are taking notes when it comes to this, they know that all consoles offer the ability to sell their games are r...
I hope this video will stop Sony fanobys from trying to compare games like F1, Motor Storm and GT on the PS3 with Forza 2 on the 360. This game is not another racing game with cool graphics. Not that those PS3 games are bad, but comparing them to Forza 2 is apples and oranges.
ohh no digital distribution! Isn't this a blu-ray game? It would take 1 month to download, beside people like holding the physical game on their hands.... [sarcasm level 80]
Unlike Sony some developers are not proud of showing CGI to sell their game and then be burn alive when the game is released.
In case you didn't notice you will still be able to play online for games that do not support xbox live. Live is not online multiplayer like some of you due to lack of knowledge about the service seem to think. Why do you think some AOL users still pay for it(not me), why do you think people pay for MMO while others are free? Can you compare the quality of service between one of those free laggy ass hell MMO with games like final fantasy XI and WOW? You never heard anyone say, "You get w...
"Nintendo can do it for free, Sony can do it for free." Do what for free? Ohh you mean that online service that 3rd party developer are not supporting? Ohh you are talking about those services that lack game invites, a proper unified online service across all games?
Didnt you hear last week how konami and other companies are dropping the servers only 2 years after the game is released while xbox owners can play online even after the console is no longer being manufacturered?
...
I already have an online account so this does not affect me. For all those people complaining you have 2 choices. 1) Wait until Sony or Nintendo releases their free online service for the PC (uhh never). 2) Don't use Live. Period!
This reminds me of all those people that 3itch all day about not being willing to pay for MMO like Final Fantasy XI or WOW yet that didn't stop millions of people from paying it. Don't blame microsoft for charging for their service when Sony or other companie...
Is funny how Sony fanboys start jumping of joy and imediately bring up the PS3 beats the crap out of the 360 when in reality it has nothing to do with the PS3. As indicated above it's talking about another cell processor not the one shipped with the PS3. (Bubble bursted).
Unless you work for a company that makes CGI movies or content look away this is not for you.
