Eh, Lost Planet can have its day in the sun, but only a day. GOW still stomps.
And Lost Planet is good fun... but it might be a bit too oldskool. Patterned boss battles, nearly absent storyline, disjointed missions and all. Don't get me wrong- it's a blast to play and I really love the concept. But the game just doesn't have any features that make it a knock-down drag-out killer title.
With a more compelling storyline, this game could have been an instant classic...
I remember back when I played this game on Dreamcast. Go revamping old games as new ones to milk money without needing any original thinking!
Heck, mine was even the "Championship Edition". I don't see any Champ Edition here...
:P
Wow, when did this happen?
Ah-well, I'll continue my bashing for the 360 version as well then- the devs have a serious case of showing vids that look nothing at all like the gameplay on this one.
Bla-bla, CGI, yadda-yadda.
Now for FI2-6, Fatal Inertia: Empires 1-MCXVII, and Fatal Inertia: Xtreme Legends: XXL: Holy crap there's even DLC this time: Black: II.
I love KOEI and all, but c'mon.
Wow. #10 is the most surprisingly intelligent fanboy rant I've heard in ages, and it's mostly Sony's own words being used against them.
Seriously- They shipped 2 million units, but they've sold maybe half a million?
And that's a GOOD thing!?
You do know PS3's going to push a similar service soon, right? Anyway, yes, downloads are a big part of the equation that make the next-gen DVD war stupid.
I personally finally got to watch THX-1138 thanks to Xbox Live, for a similar rental fee to what most local places would charge. I didn't have to leave home, I got to keep my rental for two weeks, and I could even wound up getting a game invite from a friend and playing GOW halfway through, and having the best GOW session I'...
"Full" FPS and "full" RTS?
And that hasn't been done before?
Er... there are tons of RTS games where you can control units individually. So I have no idea where that's coming from...
Good right up until:
"The Wii sell-through figure is also surprising in light of anecdotal evidence that suggested that Wiis were obtainable, while PS3s were impossible to find."
*game show "you lose" music plays*
Ohhhh, I'm so sorry. You were almost there, but you had to screw up and reveal that like most analysts, you have absolutely no idea what's going on in the real world.
Ah-well, at least some points in the article are inter...
Yup. Let's take parental responsbility away and make computer do it, so when kids go crazy, it's the machine's fault. That's some 1984 talk there.
Anyway, this headline should read: "Indie developers find new challenges in new software, for some reason are surprised" and for another point "Indie developers hoping for random silly feature to be included which would do their work for them, are left in the cold as tehy still have to do something they need to be in c...

"Ze fanboy goggles! Zey make it all look incredible! Ze goggles! Zey do everything!"
Wow. Two games that I know I won't buy just going on this limited info.
"Hour of Victory [...] a World War II FPS with a twist. [...] the game focuses on three unique characters"
-Remake of 'The Outfit', mb?
"The other shooter is Blacksite: Area 51"
-...and yet another Area 51 game. Like the (arcade) shooter. Or the (first-person) shooter. Or the other probably dozen shooters with some variation of 'Area 51' in their names.
A basically free Wiimote when you buy what is essentially Wii Sports II- how can you resist? Mine was reserved'd a while ago.
"It's not their fault that their government is overcompensating for what Germany did in WW2."
And that's EXACTLY what's happening there. And in fact, all of this was predicted by Karl Marx.
In summary:
In every Democracy, eventually people begin to feel that they are TOO free, and that more regulation needs to happen to keep all the icky bad things of the world away. This will continue, with censorship leading the way, until a regime is put into ...
It's been known for quite some time that both Wii and 360 have more new IPs in development for their systems overall- regardless of 1st or 3rd party.
The question is whether this trend continues... which is looks like it's going to. 360 and PS3 are staying pretty even with trading franchises, and they will continue to do so. Burnout, for example, will be a timed PS3 exclusive going multiplatform (like all the others), as will the next Splinter Cell. And so on...
PS3 also focused on two territories (US and Japan) while the 360 had to prepare for a global launch- including Europe- out of the gate.
Yet PS3 sold maybe only 100K more than 360- with PS3s now selling at cost on eBay while the 360's and Wii's massively inflated prices lasted much longer, and while the Wii and 360 were both impossible to find at retail for months after the PS3 has started to collect dust at many retailers.
Whoops.
Nevermind the fact that FPS/TPS ALWAYS have short storylines, and that games like Oblivion have hundreds of hours of gameplay and tons of voice dialogue, etc in their games.
We'll take a few rate instances of games that actually require over 9GB of space (totaling: Resistance and MGS4 thus far by all accounts) and claim that's "how things are" in the industry.
"Frist, Konami X Prods"
Wow.
""We don't have to change the Xbox 360 at all," he said, holding a glass of red wine."
My God, I think that's a burn.
BTW: 720p@30fps, for those of you just joining us.
Hey, more than one Sony exec said "Hold me to it".
Er, to make it more believable, yes the PS3 totally disallows rumble. Due to Sony's loss to Immersion in the courts (barring extended litigation), it would be illegal for Sony to include any rumble support in the PS3- or foreseeably any future console they'd ever make- until some sort of an agreement could be made with Immersion.
Nintendo really should'a been the Revolution. Imagine the sense of power for hardcore gamers, the wonderment for kids... I think Nintendo was just afraid they wouldn't live up to the bar they'd set with a name like that.
Coming next generation... the Xbox Revolution... heck, the Sony Revolution. It's a great name.
And the only reason Duke Nukem Forever 2 didn't make #1 is because it's such a beaten horse. DNF isn't getting released, we all know it. The only reas...
