Part of MS's MO is to capitalize on an audience that doesn't know much or are ill-informed about certain products. This is how they make their money. It's no different with their 360 product and it's current consumers - They just don't know.
People talk about how the PS2 eyetoy didn't have any killer games but the thing is it did have many games for it but they were never hyped by the media. However, MS can bring out games on Natal exactly like on the PS3 eyetoy games, but with ...
That's rubbish. Ofcourse they can be compared. They're in the same genre for crying out loud. It doesn't matter if they have different gaming mechanisms that's the point on comparisons.
What you think games should only be compared if they do the exact same thing but with different skins?
We're trying to understand a game better before going out to get it and that means understanding it including comparison to other similar games that can help aid in understanding it ...
Yes, well aware of that but this is the thing. With new gens, gameplay gets evolved. There are many great games with great gameplay elements from previous gens that worked great for back then but after experiencing newer, more current mechanisms, they feel tired, old and quirky.
This isn't a huge problem for PC gamers generally but it certainly can be, and often is, for console gamers.
Argh, this is why I so need the gaming community to have some sort of review syst...
and I think you hit the nail on the head there as to exactly what was going through my mind.
Demon Souls has really got me locked into Action RPGs now and I have a hunger for them; so I was looking forward to experiencing this one but the gameplay doesn't look as fluid or dynamic as with the likes of Demon Souls.
Argh, I tell ya, PS3 exclusives spoil the crap out of you. If there's a multiplat game you think you'd love to experience, just don't play any PS3 exclusive...
You got disagrees but you're stating something that many are thinking. The gameplay seems to be tailored for a certain PC base and to bring it exactly as it is to consoles maybe an issue for console gamers for sure.
I just need to find vids of console gameplay to have a better understanding I guess.
I still don't get how it'll work on consoles. Does anyone have bids of the console version? It's looking like it may be some kind of mess controls for consoles if they try to mimic the exact control mechanism of the PC version.
I'd think a more dynamic fight system would work better on consoles. Well, we'll see soon enough.
We're desperate in preventing the 360fanbase holding back gaming for us. When great gaming experiences are given lower than deserved scores to curb sales and aid in limiting potential for better sequels while mediocre 360 games than would struggle to average 8 on the PS3 library are bathed in 9s & 10s and still bring out more mediocre, slightly upgraded sequels.
Yes, we are desperate to drop this baggage weight of supporting mediocre average gaming.
STOP GIMPING ...
All these people harping on the glitch to justify this mediocre game.
OK fine, forget about the glitch. Pretend that's not even in the vid... LOOK AT IT! THAT is what you want to go out and support? Why do you think you people would ever have top quality gaming when you show MS that you'll support stuff like this?
Come on, the physics in this is laughable. Need for Speed, and even Burnout, displays way better physics and graphics too. So you like this cause you can ...
So very well said
That kind of talk is completely lame and just plain bullocks.
The PS3 base has about 3 sim racers on the market right now and other high quality exclusives in many other genres. They aren't just playing with their thumbs waiting for GT.
GT5 is the first representation of GT on current gen and with all top quality titles on the Playstation, it takes time for the 1st iteration which translates into quality. You actually being happy that games are rushed out with low q...
anyone who actually goes out and buys this game brand new at full purchase price is a damned fool. I see so many posts defending this game and all I can think is "GADDAMNED HYPOCRITES!"
You dissed and caused some developers, who were actually trying to bring great gaming experiences to gamers, to go out of business but yet you support the most average and mediocre gaming experiences.
I'm convinced now that the 360fanbase really dont' give a damn about prop...
No 360fan should ever have the gull to talk an iota of smack about ANY PS3 game after they defend and support games like this and ODST. Any PS3 gamer that listens to 360gamers about PS3 gaming is an utter fool.
NO, they won't give GT5 lower ratings cause they dont' have to. They've pretty much done their job and that is to make an illusion that GT5 & Forza are in competition which is a bald faced lie.
I mean think about it, most top gaming sites gave Forza 9.5s... so what's going to really differenciate GT5 ratings? If they give GT5 9.8 then that's only .3 difference and people (the dumb ones) will go "well it's better but not that much better. Forza is definitely on GT's heels...
Wow very reliable all these gaming sites that gave the game 9s & Perfect scores. They really have the best interest of the gaming community at heart >.>
Hey, I'm in the same boat as you OP. I just couldn't get the flow right with this game. So many gamers are having a blast with this thing but it just never gelled for me.
I'm hoping I can get into it with SP in Starhawk though :D
We know little to nothing about this title. So far it's been announced for the PS3 and it could be announced for the 360 at a later date too.
It's nothing and a far cry from releasing on the PS3 as an exclusive and then going multiplat 6-12months later.
There has been talk that the game is partially funded by Sony but I have no clue how legit that is or what kind of business agreement it entails. Heck, Sony could fund it and have it go multiplat and reap in the rewar...
Men look, this was a 1st gen online only title that had a lot of trouble in development and it still came out great for a lot of gamers. With this kind of success look for Starhawk to totally eclipse Warhawk2 in every single department.
I'm willing to bet you won't even recognize the game just from the graphics alone cause it's going to be overly glaringly more superior especially since they're going to have SP campaign.
E3 next year will be fire!
A million for an online only Downloadable game? Men oh men they made some good money on this title. So it's looking like 1.5-2mill life time, awesome.
As wee all know, success to PS3 exclusives mean - insanely improved quality for it's sequels. Starhawk with SP campaign here we come! woot! :D :D :D
Oh I'm so glad I'm not the only one XD
From what I'm seeing, MS are looking to exit the hardware side of gaming for sure. Yeah yeah yeah you can talk about how they have developers working on games for the xbox3 but they bottom line is games can be in development but they don't get the actual final development skus till about 4-8 months before actual launch.
It's looking might obvious that MS is looking at doing one of two things
1) Gathering as much revenue from the 360 in it's final days b4 dumping the ...
