"If you disagree your just as smart as these analyst"
I'm taking that as a compliment and proudly disagreeing with you. Most of your babble has nothing to do with his article.
I think setting is irrelevant though, if Blizzard releases a new MMO it's going to be in the "BLIZZARD MMO" genre, and people are going to play just one game or the other. Most will probably leave WoW for the new shiny one.
Frankly I think you'd be hard pressed to find someone who's never given WoW a try, but would play a sci-fi MMO if Blizzard made one.
I noticed this popping up all the time in IGN's video review of Street Fighter 4 today. That explains it, they were probably using cheat codes and/or a separate review code to record the review, so trophies weren't awarded.
I'd really like to see numbers comparing sales of the 3 Xbox SKUs. I bet arcade isn't the highest selling one in January (during the holidays, it quite probably was).
I fully expect the next WoW expansion to be the last, then for Blizzard to release and heavily push this new MMO about 3 years from now. Maybe Blizz realizes that something, someday, will defeat WoW, and they figure it might as well be themselves.
This seems like a good move. Warcraft is so well established and its design team is so large that I'm sure it will continue on just fine without him. But a new(ish) team on this MMO can stand to gain a lot from this experienced developer.
And I'm not convinced Blizzard is against the game being WoW-like. WoW has been unimaginably successful, so they'd be sticking with a formula they created and everyone knows is great. Plus by keeping the game similar (with obvious engine u...
You nailed it edge. If I saw a commercial and heard the bland name "Killzone" and saw the Helghasts for the first time, I wouldn't see why I should care about this game. The F.E.A.R. 2 commercials, however, catch my eye because they do a decent job of showing what separates that game from what's out there.
Killzone 2 is good sure, but it fails at different, at least at shallow levels which is all that advertising can express.
The entire future for eternity can be called "the coming months". August 2036 is a coming month. Sigh. WTB real news.
Agreed completely. Not only does this say absolutely nothing that hasn't been said on here dozens of times, but it's not anyone we would possibly care about them saying it. Down with blogspot on n4g!
Am I the only one who thinks this thing was posted sarcastically? I.e. it's on n4g to be funny and not actually impressive? It sets you up to expect something better, but displaying 100 still objects with distance fading practically right in front of your face is hardly impressive for N64 or PS1.
I think most posters here just missed the sarcasm/irony the contributor was aiming for.
Agreed. Also, "new" in the headline seems a little inaccurate seeing as WoW has been running and popular for well over 4 years now.
Sony sells consoles and games to retailers. That is its business, and that is what matters to its financial reports. Whether the products reach the hands of gamers is irrelevant. So when it talks about sales in a financial report context, it is talking about how many it has shipped to retailers.
The NPDs track (and vgcharts estimates) games actually reaching the hands of gamers, because that is a better indicator of the health and status of the gaming industry.
Wow, let's not jump to conclusions. Most likely it will use largely graphics, textures, and animations already on the disc, which is what takes the most space. Plus installing the full game to your hard drive takes something like 5.5 gigs, and if you think this DLC will be 2/3 the size of the base game you're dreaming.
I doubt this will be more than a gig in size. No need to panic, 20 giggers.
Blizzard has been saying for a while that they were going to try to balance the game with a larger number of small waves of changes rather than completely mixing everything up just with every large patch 4 months apart. This is their new plan in action, and I like it better already. Glad to see they're following through.
Of course not, but I don't think anyone is reading this expecting it to be free. With the exception of Burnout, pretty much no console DLC is free. And with the game having sold as well as it did, there's no reason for Microsoft or Epic to send out free DLC when clearly many many gamers would pay for it.
Agreed. And I hope it's more of the classic Stop 'n' Pop gameplay. The vehicles and other gimmicky "variety" parts were done fine in Gears 2, but it's still the original Gears gameplay I have the most fun with. Give me more of that.
So you insult the guy, then announce your predictions which are simply his minus 5%? So essentially you dislike him, but you agree with him. Why not just say that?
I don't think it's really a rumor. The 5-6 year console lifecycle is a well established trend in the gaming industry, dating back to the NES. People were going to assume this would be the case with the PS3 without anyone starting a "rumor" about it. Sony is just trying to convince people PS3 is going to be an exception to the pattern.
Wow. Referring to Sony as "we". Unless you work for Sony, this is unprecedented fanboyism.
I don't necessarily even disagree with what you said, I'm just amused by how you said it.
Amazing, I'm getting this tonight for sure.
