I will be flame for this, but.
Simply because of price. Some people loyal to Sony need to justify the price difference and the only way this can be done is if the PS3 is better. If the xbox 360 and the PS3 are both as good then whats the point of paying extra for the PS3? That's the basic answer and where the debate is. This is why no Sony fanboy would ever admit both consoles are great. this is also the reason why sony is showing fact sheets where the 360 apears more expensive than...
Dlacy13g I think you understood why I meant. Lots of people find it strange when xbox 360 games hit the PC, but this shouldn't be a surprice, since it benefits microsoft regardless.
I don't think is about hate. It's all about money. This can work against their marketting strategy. It is usually smart to keep the product from reaching a region a company will eventually target.
thanks Dlacy13g for stating the obvious.
You are also partially right. You do have to write (code) that is unique to the environment for which you are producing code. For example you may have to use libraries that only exist for the SDK that do not exist in others. "If you code for WIN32 and now moving to .NET it is not a simple matter of recompiling code. You actually have to poses knowledge of NET platform (unless you just write "hello" program). and it takes always time to learn new things even if they seem be to s...
I'm sure microsoft is being trying to see how they can grab a piece of the movie industry; plus this will bring more awareness to the xbox brand. What other title you think microsoft should use to do this? Unlike Sony Microsoft does have at least one original first party game that can make it into the big screen and this is Halo. It can't be worst the Nintendo's Mario Bros a while back or even Tomb Raider.
Ok, let me try again.
The PS3 games will look better than the 360, because is from Sony, and Sony is known to make the most powerful hardware in the world (which is why they released all system specs on the hardware and online), they also know to have the console with the least defects at launch. Also, PS3 games use only the SDK and all games are being designed from the grown up. HD can only be done on the PS3, The PS3 online service will be free and all downloadable content will also ...
I highly dough microsoft will sue microsoft for this. If this comes to the PC this is a win win situation for microsoft. they need as many games as they can get for games for windows and vista.
Cool, lets hope they also add the "Show your balls" ability. It would be fun.
Most of you are not programmers or designers, so it obvious you would think that what game developers/designers use to make games it's only the SDK that sony or Microsoft send them. Try doing more research and you will see that various consoles use the same Game Engine (Unreal Engine, use use UnrealScript(propietary script language), graphic software like maya or 3D studio max, etc. So, the fact is that the very same tools and engine that they being using to make games for the 360 for over 1 ...
Honestly I say bring it on. I like having the choice between getting a game for the PC or the 360. There are games I want to buy like Supreme Commander that no console will get. I have a high end PC anyways. Also, for those thinking that this hurts the 360 they are wrong. Microsoft makes money anyways hence why they are pushing live anywhere. This is also why Sony is trying to push the Idea that the PS3 is a computer since they know if the PC and the 360 have and will have a very strong marri...
"next presidential candidate" I'm sure the PS3 and the xbox 360 will bring more joy to us than the current or next president.
This is an argument that will never end. TV are now like PCs... you can buy the most expensive PC and spend lots of money on it, and six months later you computer is obsolete. I bought a Panasonic HD TV like 8 months ago, and I feel like I already have to buy another one. Freeken companies, they found a way to do the samething they have being doing with cell phones and computers; what happens to the days where a tv would last you 10 years?!
I think this is accurate. The wii is a great party system but I don't see it dominating the gaming industry, but the simple fact that people expect games to move a the speed of technology.
Careful, "PC, TV, and console..." You may have to manage your expectation, I believe that the most important thing that the PS3 will do well is play games. But many consoles has used the "It can do anything a PC can do" line in the pass, just to fell flat. What some of you don't realise is what makes a PC is not the hardware but the software and the flexibily, some argue the PC can't do everything perfect 100% because is great at doing many things. If the PS3 can replace t...
Weird.. I don't feel like this game is missing anything... I guess people feel they are missing something because they were told they are missing something. I reached level 11+ and I don't see any messages that says, "Click here" to buy level 12. I think microsoft learned their lesson. DO NOT RELEASE 2 PIECES OF CONTENT FOR A SINGLE GAME ON THE SAME DAY. If the advance piece would have been released 2 months from now, people wouldnt even notice.
Why is sony doing this? They should thank them for bring to Europe something that they couldn't do. Are they still trying to find ways to piss Europeans off?
ohh boy.. now people will start taking the "you cost me 1 billion" literaly. It can be less or more, the point they were trying to make is that it would cost more. Probably because other part of the 360 would have to reflect having more memory, and they had to go back to drawing boards, even changing the SDK. So, as gamers lets just say that's good news.
I think some game developers are going to far. The next thing we will see games showing some kid playing with his genitals or having doing something with animals, just because for some these is just natural. We all know that what used to be wrong now is right, and that we all have to try to live among people that do things we do not approve. But I think all sides should be respected, the same way it wouldn't be right to make a game where homosexual are beaten (which some may find fun) how abo...
Is it me or you wrote the very same thing on another article?
