These guys are funny. Do away with casual gaming. Even though that is what the majority of gamers are. The hardcore crowd or even "fanboy" type crowd makes up a very small percentage of people who actually purchase games.
Therefore if you do away with the largest money making part the whole industry dies.
Not to mention Nintendo is actually expanding the market. Something both Micro and Sony want to do only they are doing it better. Also smaller in...
According to the poll the larger demographic of people do prefer HDDVD. I would tend to agree. HDDVD offers the most interactive features with U-control and also includes online functionality in every HDDVD player.
For the price and most features you can't go wrong with HDDVD with players starting as low as $299. Not to mention Universal(one of the markets biggest movie producers is going exclusive with HDVD), and Paramount just jumped in. All the other big movie producers ...
Another masterpiece from Nintendo. Their first party games are always AAA. The Metroid franchise is truly a classic series.
I hope this proves to a lot of people that the Wii can pump out good graphics. Because MP3 looks truly fantastic.
They state in the review that this is the last in a Trilogy but I anticipate we will see Samus again.
Halo3 is a huge jump from Halo2. Everything looks so colorful and vibrant. Not to mention seeing those huge open ended areas for battle made it so much better.
I thought it was especially cool how not only could you stick the Wraith with plasma grenades but also with those fire bomb grenades. The textures looks awesome, and it was especially neat when he zoomed the camera out and evrything was in a 3rd person view.
It also looked as if the grenade tosses were ...
bin at best. It could have been awesome if they would have upped the graphics a bit and got it at a smooth steady framerate.
A PC "port" all the way. Too bad for all of the shortcomings. It would have been above average otherwise.
IMO it is hard to tell which Zelda was the best bc they were all so great. What I definately loved about the first one was that the clues were so limited. Half the fun of the game was finding all of the secret dungeons. Who could ever forget blowing the flute and the water turning to sand to reveal a dungeon.
They were all awesome games but I think the worst one was probably Zelda 2:AOL bc it strayed so far from it's roots.
Newell wasn't nearly as happy with developing for the Playstation 3,
"I don't think they spent nearly enough time talking to developers when they were developing the PS3," he said. "It's less friendly for developers."
And Newell said he believes the issues are hardware, not software ones.
"It's a hardware architectural problem. I don't think they thought through the Cell architecture."
"our current optimization" Do you understand those 3 words. Valve dumped this "port" off to EA. They would rather pay a different developer to make it. Doesn't that tell you something.
How does the PS3 with one PPE and one core(No SPUs). Beat the 360 with 3 PPEs with three full cores???
this story needs to have their approval rights taken away. It is just a mockery of the report system.
3 articles of the exact same caliber for 360 get pulled but the proPS3 one with 25+ reports gets approved.
This really is sad. And don't throw tomatoes at me I didn't approve the xbox articles either. Welcome to N4SG.
This game was coded on the PC first. Then it was put on a 360 dev kit(which is very similar to PC architecture). So it runs great. Especially with the ease of use of the XNA tools.
We just ported the code over to the PS3 and since the cell architecture is so drasticly different from the PC we don't even use the SPUs.(Like most other 3rd parties.) It doesn't run nearly as good as the 360 version so we had to delay it. We are just like all the other developers who will give ...
Overall it was a good article. I do agree with him that Assassin's creed is something fresh and exciting. And also that Mass Effect will be something truly amazing and the pinnacle of RPG gaming. Bioware hasn't let me down yet.
nice to see spinoffs in the Halo universe. Hope this turns out to be a good game and I am glad to be getting the demo on live.
I guess since KZ2 takes up the most disk space it must be the best game ever. How come the only ones touting the need for Bluray and these massive levels are Sony's first and second parties??
But yet 3rd party games that are on both 360 and PS3 look the same and are both on one disk??
Kind of seems that someone is trying to justify something don't you think??
Just copy it if it works. Wii-mote=Sixasis. N64 rumble=dualshock.etc. etc.. I hope pretty soon that someone makes a new design for a controller they like. Seing as how they haven't changed it since the PS1.
All this Bluray propaganda. Sony put Bluray in the PS3 to win the format war. It has far more to do with the movie industry than gaming.
If you can't see that I feel for you.
plot. With all the information they give in this article. It could also be possible that the Gravemind has taken total control of Cortana. And she is completely evil now.
And maybe she has taken on some physical form that you have to fight at the end of Halo3. And the Chief just doesn't have the heart to kill her so he lets her destroy him.
Just a thought since there is a rumor that the Chief dies at the end of Halo3.
I have contributed many articles to your site. And in lieu of recent events involving a shift in the bias of this site. Which is ironic bc the whole point is to be unbiased.
I have a suggestion for the replacement of your logo. You should change it to N4SG, and this should be your flag.
just above average. Which the score signifies. I loved the game Skies of Arcadia on Dreamcast. And it also received mediocre scores. So this will most likely be more of the same.
You either like old school RPG's or you don't...
I'm glad to see Halo3 and Crysis get their props at the GC. It must be a great place to be with all those people there that are actually interested in gaming.
Plus you get a heads up on all the new games that aren't even't out yet.
