Its not that important really. The bottom line is this: The Xbox 360 has *MANY* top-flight RPGs - W & J RPG.
That is what makes me happy. For every Mass Effect or Oblivion, there is a Blue Dragon or Infinite Undiscovery.
If the PS3 gets SO4 -- which i doubt, as the game still clearly appears to be exclusive -- no matter.
LOL! You have **GOT** to be kidding?
You are trying **WAY** to hard! LOL.
Are you a total toolbox? The NXE is going to be written to Flash, that is where all the Avatar data will reside.
The "Avatar" will be nothing more than a tiny file that *describes* what the avatar looks like.
Are you people *really* trying to spread FUD that avatars are going to take up too much space?
Get real.
I concur. People -- and it just *BLOWS MY MIND* -- pretend that nintendo invented 3D human-like avatars, its just stupid.
The fact is that these companies all "steal" from each other, and *very clearly* MS's implementation is leaps and bounds better than Nintendo.
And, as an Xbox 360 owner, I'm very happy to see it.
The NXE is going to be great. I cant wait.
Juuken:
Yes, I agree. This site shouldnt post stories about the Xbox 360 outselling the PS3 in Japan, instead, we should get another 25 "beta key release" or "new sackboy" story instead.
I'm _sure_ you'd agree.
"when they said hdmi wasnt needed they added it later."
HDMI isnt necessary for HD gaming. HDMI does nothing that wasnt possible before, its simply an interconnect standard -- the "signal" is unchanged.
"when they said rrod was 5% we actually found out it was around 45%."
FFS, STFU. The heat-issue was resolved Summer 07, and the failure rate wasnt *remotely* close to 45%. You people are just pulling garbage out of y...
There are people, who sit on the sidelines until things become afforadable.
MS takes those customers, and they're "done" for this generation. MS is going to continue to take-up the generation's sales -- it is a "fixed amount" really (to a degree, the 'installed consoles' increases year-over-year, but it isnt infinite).
MS moving to the mass market prices (together with the wii) means that Sony doenst have any option: cut price (to increase sa...
Seems like you're taking this a little too seriously. The fact is taht Sony's marketing is just that -- marketing.
It's time you identify the difference between advertising and reality. The fact that sony's marketing is *always* overpromising the ability of the ps (since the PS1) shoudl teach you something.
There is no 4D coming -- sorry.
What *is* coming is a price cut -- and soon.
Well they're going to have to do that rumoured that price-cut. The rumour is one by February.
Is this even a story?
Who the hell would think you'd be able to pick-up the Bonus *BEFORE* the game?
Here's instant, sure-fire success at N4G:
A) Scour the web for the most obscure website.
B) Find their most ridiculous, ANTI-MS (xbox, windows, whatever) story.
C) Submit to N4G.
D) Profit! (for the site-who writes the nonsense article).
This is ridiculous. Who approved this garbage?
"I think the fact Microsoft paid for.."
NOTHING.
THE TITLE IS TOTALLY MADE UP.
Nice to know this site approves stories with the title TOTALLY FABRICATED FICTION.
And, the forum fills up with bullshat.
Hey, maybe we should get another LBP level or LBP key story?
This site is just broken.
What it means is that Xbox 360 owners have more *choice* and better value.
HORRAY! To this. For the games I love (Halo, GTAIV) I get more game-play without having to buy a full title.
For the titles that I dont care for -- but I've bought -- I simply dont buy the DLC.
Perfect -- great value, CHOICE.
Mass Effect would be *perfect* as a MMO.
Take out the Campaign mode, and allow captains/guilds to fight for the planets & their resources.
Keep the 1st person shooter & vehicle elements the same.
Dont get me wrong, I love ME, but I always wanted to encounter *other* players when I went down to a planet's surface.
And that my friends, is why Gears of War 2 is going to be Game of the Year 2008.
"but it will deliver faster loading time"
No. Exactly the opposite. Reading the OS (XMB) from the Flash is faster than reading it from the Harddrive.
"This has zero impact on games or anything related,"
I disagree (to a degree). This will not impact gameplay -- no. It will impact the time it takes to load the XMB from ending a game, or from start-up.
It will now take longer, reading from HD is slower than read...
" if this is true, it doesn't change anything for coz you will have everything the same "
Not true.
Reading the system from the HD will take longer than reading it from the Flash.
Boot-times and/or returning to XMB will take longer.
This would cause some performace issues.
It takes longer to read from the HardDrive than it does Flash Rom.
I'd be very interested to see a comparison of boot times and other XMB related behaviours.
Clearly, this is Sony doing all they can to get the hardware down in price so they can have a price-cut (expect one soon).
"resistance 2, socom, LBP, god of war, killzone 2, infamous they have tons of games to play now and in the near future"
Funny, not one of those games is out now. NOT ONE.
So, here, I'll fix it for you:
"resistance 2, socom, LBP, god of war, killzone 2, infamous they have games to play in the future that they hope are worth playing."
Halo 3: Recon is big news.
Halo has sold TENS of millions of copies.
Halo is one of the best reviewed game series since its launch, 97, 95 and 94 for Halo:CE, 2 and 3.
There is, without a doubt at all, that Halo 3: Recon will be a very big title for MS next year.
Anyone who tries to pretend otherwise is fooling themselves. note, I'll even offer, maybe **YOU** dont like Halo (you think it "suxors", and you dont own an Xbox) -- but ...
