thank you! I despise map packs for these very reasons. Half-ass me an incomplete product and then expect me to pay upwards of $60 or more over the course of the year for the rest of the game. All the while you fragment the community in the process.
The ONLY dlc worth the cost are expansions; Undead Nightmare, Episodes from Liberty City, Festival of Blood, and Shivering Isles. The rest is a cash grab, designed for us to pay for network maintenance (P2P no less) and line stockh...
This. I've always said it's not the platform but the types of games that appear on it are the real issue. I just returned from vacation and enjoyed playing plants vs zombies while at night on my phone. But it could be a viable avenue for even bigger, more traditional games like sRPGs and RTSs too. I'd love to re-play Ogre Tactics in HD with touch screen controls. Sad thing is these games could be ported over to both the Vita and the 3DS with relative ease; giving these devs a huge...
That's BS. Nintendo should be blamed far more for the deterioration of the East than the PS360. They spent the better part of the last decade monopolizing Japan with low price points on outdated tech. This essentially created a schism, forcing JP devs to chase profits over the advancement of the industry. I can't blame 3rd party devs given the climate they're operating in but I absolutely WILL blame the company whose egregious greed has retarded the entire Japanese gaming industry...
@ Wishing - You're comprehension is off. The PS3 sold 1.7 million units during the calendar year of 2006. That FY you see stands for fiscal year, which ends March 31st of the following year. So Sony sold 3.5 million in the first 4 1/2 months on the market and 10.4 million from Nov. '06 to Dec. '07 (58 weeks), not 12 mil in 52.
But to answer your question, no it won't sell another 7 million in the last 4 1/2 months of the year. I expect the WiiU to have an inst...
Remember though, the game was slated to appear initially on PS360. So who knows how much $ was spent before shifting the IP.
Terrible graphics, clumsy controls, glitches, and lack of online MP hurt the title (can't believe I just said that since I avoid most online game modes). It was clearly rushed to make it for the launch window.
Back to MP: 4 survivors online (using the WiiU Pros) going from point A to B with 4 couch buddies using their tablets to s...
haha that's an awful attempt. Who handed out your troll card?
Drive Claude? sweet! I'm getting Driving Miss Daisy at launch. Da Powah of ze Blu!
Sorry, there are bigger fish to fry when it comes to TGS...
Like where's Nintendo? Ya know that JAPANESE company that thinks even attending a JAPANESE trade show is frivolous. Let me guess, I get to watch another Nintendo Direct instead. Yippee!!! I own both a 3DS and the WiiU, so color me jaded and disappointed Nintendo essentially has thrown away about 20% of their console's lifespan over a knee-jerk reaction (3DS's sluggish start) and HD naivety.
unless it's a ham-fisted cashed-in port, it will ALWAYS be the best version. That's not a knock on console gaming. I don't need a comparison article pointing out some jaggies on an elbow to re-affirm my purchase (I know that's not quite the case here). I only need know if it's a shit port amigo.
*Feeds latest gaming info into the Universal Gaming Translator and frantically types question, What the hell has happened these last 8 months?*
UGT spits out answer: Half the 10 thousand employees Kaz fired were hired by Nintendo, the other half went to MS.
I can't understand why you wouldn't want the Witcher IP to get as much exposure as it could; especially since they're two of your all-time favs. No harm whatsoever in releasing 1&2 as a bundle on Live/PSN for XB1/PS4 to maximize potential revenue on 3. No one likes to start at the end of a story.
In fact, when I got into a spirited debate with a friend over motion controlled gaming, I used that tech demo of yours as proof Move could be implemented into core gaming. (It's always been my contention that it's the fault of tunnel visioned, greedy publishers who shoehorn popular genres that simply don't work well within the framework of motion gaming. Think FPSs on tablets). I told him just imagine playing Amnesia or Penumbra with your accessory!
However, tha...
if Media Molecule scraps that project they debuted Feb 20th. I think at the very least they were planning a 2nd SKU but canned the idea to drive home the price difference disparity.
There's so many ARPGs out there in the wild, it made no sense for Sony to make their own. Should approach Runic Games to see if they would be interested in porting over Torchlight II to the PS ecosystem. Cross-platform play between PS4, PS3, and Vita might be an enticing proposition.
that pretty much got handled by Microsoft this time around.
EA allies with MS. MS allies with the NFL. Makes sense if you're one of those entities.
Before tLoU came out, I just finished replaying the first Splinter Cell; so color me shocked and most pleasantly surprised to find out Joel plays more like Sam Fisher than Nathan Drake.
hopefully it means that people who are on budgeted incomes and/or don't place a premium price tag on virtual entertainment can now purchase a $199 PS3. Personally I'd have an economy bundle/deal ready for Black Friday ($499 for a 40" 720p LCD set and a PS3, $399 for 32") for people just hoppin into the HD era.
An HD converter from my cable provider costs me $1 a month. That's $12 a year per set to watch HD programming on any additional TVs I own. They DO charge $7.95 a month for a HD converter with DVR functionality and 500 gigs of HDD space. To each his own but I'd rather spend the $96 a year and get a DVR with 500 gigs of storage space than own a set top box for a voice cognitive UI and a $60 a year fee to access programming I already paid for.
Why should I only thank Sony? Does Nintendo disallow used games too? In fact, Gamestop was always going to be an "authorized" dealer for MS's XB1. Surely you can't be that myopic?
