I think they might make some announcements about games going into 2009 - Champions Online, Alan Wake, new Halo, Forza 3...and new things for the Lips and new controller.
People are going to want something HUGE in between the releases of Gears 2 and Gears 3.
gets thrown around in a cavalier way these days!
If 360s start flying off shelves, Sony may be more likely to have a price drop sooner rather than later.
Sony depends on brand loyalty, but with gas prices where they are and the perception of a bad economy, price may become a bigger motivation.
However, on the radio, I heard that one industry that did not suffer during the Great Depression was the entertainment industry - Hollywood. People want to be entertained during hard times to forget their woes - same was...
Only this kid has more talent than me. Pretty impressive.
Seriously one of the better gaming industry articles I've read. I would have put together the exact same list.
Buy: LOTR:Conquest, C&C: RE3, Mercs 2(maybe)
Rent: Dead Space amd Mirrors Edge
Woohoo!!
Ubisoft used Jade extensively to market the game. How many other developers/producers are so exposed? Even the hardcore of us probably cannot identify both name and face of anyone on Bungie, Insomniac, Blizzard, BioWare, or EA Sports. The only people I can picture in my mind and name are Cliff B. from Epic and John Carmack from Id.
They tried to sell supposedly girl-starved basement trolls the fairy-tale of "the beautiful gaming goddess who makes AMAZING games and think...
I'm very ignorant about such things, but the reason I ask is because my launch 360 finally got the RROD about 2 weeks after upgrading to a 120G HD. It was always well ventilated and in my basement - much cooler than the rest of the house.
It may be completely unrelated - just asking, and don't "disagree" because I'm not making a statement, only asking a question.
My launch 360 just died last night. The guy at 18004myxbox said that they would fix it for free...
Guess I'll have a few weeks to get back into FFXII.
It is a virtual world that some prefer over the real world.
In WOW, a guy can be a level 50 whatever with all the cool gear, and get recognized for his accomplishments. This is preferrable to his assistant manager position at Quick Trip and his studio apartment.
I'm not saying ALL WOW players are like this, but I've heard plenty of stories about the sacrifices of real-life obligations and opportunities from people who are trying to overcome addiction to the ...
Diablo 3 would be a huge hit on consoles, and could even be GOTY material.
clicking a mouse is far less like firing a gun than a 360 controller - I don't care how accurate the mouse is - it just feels weird and lacks that immersive quality.
With the PS3, 360 and the PC, there is a lot of competition for the hardcore gamers' dollar.
Rather than going after a small piece of a small pie, they went after an entirely new pie that was untouched.
Besides, hardcore gaming, for me, is getting boring. I'm tired of killing moderately different enemies with modersately different weapons in moderately different levels than the "last" game. I've been gaming for a little over 30 years, and I'm finally ...
who has stated that they are bringing new Crysis games to consoles because of piracy on the PC.
Money rules all, and previous console-hating Crytek saw the cash-green colored light.
Another reason why it should stay PC exclusive - that would NEVER work on LIVE or PSO.../sarcasm...
Baulder's Gate Dark Alliance was a Diablo clone, and it worked great on consoles...LAST gen.
It is inside a cabinet - but the back of the cabinet is open, and it is the only thing on the shelf it is on. It is in my basement - much cooler than the rest of the house, though for the first year I had it upstairs in our other house.
Guess I'm lucky...
It may be a pipe dream, but here's hoping!
When you see your death cam, and you are being killed by a pistol firing like a P90 or a burst out of a sniper rifle, you know what's going on, and there's only one option - report and find a new lobby.
