Needs for a new PSP:
Second analog stick
Longer battery life
Built-in memory
Downloadable games (on the way)
And better software support. Fewer half-@ssed ports, more original titles.
Wrong label used, maybe. Or maybe someone at Nintendo DOES have a sense of humor. So a replacement DS would be labeled as a "Gameboy Advance...Advance." :)
Yeah, the Wii is essentially a souped-up Gamecube with clever controls...but it's also selling like hotcakes. (Not knocking it, just an observation. BTW, I'm going to buy one soon).
I don't think anyone at Nintendo minds seeing those sales numbers.
Twice now. Someone's definitely not paying attention. What's next: MS using Killzone footage to promote Halo 3?
That's SHIPPED, not SOLD. When I think of the large number of unsold PS3s sitting in my store, I have to wonder if this is an attempt to boost sagging numbers...though in fairness, MS pulled much the same with their 10-million-shipped-by-the-end- of-2007 thing. Sony's also pulled this with their PSP numbers..."shipped" versus "sold."
Haven't tried my copy of Crackdown Beta yet...kind of afraid to, at this point. One of my friends with the Beta copy had been successful in playing...here's hoping.
TVs, cameras, and films are thriving for Sony. It's the PS3 that's holding them back from a fuller recovery from their recent woes. When your seven-year-old system is outselling your new model, you've got a problem on your hands.
A price drop and more AAA titles would help immensely.
Finish this, and the get to work on Serious Sam 3!
It's too bad he didn't either electrocute himself or cook his testicles...now he has a chance to propogate and spread those quality genes. :)
Speaking of drunken fratboys...a guy at the college I went to was dared to pee on a car battery...he survived, though with a few minor burns in interesting locations...
And, lastly...what are usually a drunken fratboy's last words?
"Hey, watch this!"
Bring on:
Sonic
Ecco
Streets of Rage
Golden Axe
Toejam and Earl
And I'll be a happy, happy gamer.
Microsoft has done a MUCH better job this time around securing exclusives and quality shared licenses. Some definite major-league titles already out, and a fall lineup to die for.
Wii's first-party titles alone are worth mentioning, nevermind the third-party stuff.
PS3's lineup looks a little thin, though some of their exclusives are AAA titles (MGS4, FFXIII, LittleBigPlanet, Lair, etc.). Their biggest challenges right now lie in securing more exclusives, and pre...
Barbecue at a friend's house Wednesday afternoon? Check.
Lots of refreshments? Check. (Mountain Dew; we don't drink when we game).
Three 360s and three big screen TVs? Check.
Major pwnage when the old clan gets back together? Definitely check.
See ya there.
I was wondering the same thing. They could have easily put it as "sh!t" or "sh*t" or even "s--t." I'm not offended by the word, but rather, by what appears to be a double standard. Let's hope it's not a trend.
Two requests:
Bring back the screaming headless bombers! Exploding clowns aren't funny, but a headless guy charging at you with a bomb in each hand, screaming the whole time? That's funny.
Bring back hippie blood mode! Nothing like having an enemy explode and spew flowers and fruit instead of blood and guts.
Oh yeah, and make sure it's a lot more like SS1 than SS2--SS2 was a waste of my time and money.
It'll move millions of copies and thousands of systems...couple that with GTA and the other major fall releases...good time to have a 360. Unfortunately, I'm going to be broke by the end of the year...but I'll be smiling.
...so I figured I'd try to say something relevant.
All this flaming, based on what turns out to be just a rumour...and not a very good one, at that. You guys need to chill out, calm down, and play some games, rather than spending so much time arguing about who's chips are bigger, or whatever.
They're just games and systems. This isn't a matter of war, or ending poverty, or curing AIDS. Just games and systems.
"With all the trolling and flaming in forums around the world, skimming through message boards sometimes looks like the modern day equivalent of monkeys flinging pooh at each other."
Perfect. Couldn't have said it better myself.
And "Next-gen? When?" Well, it's happening...slowly. The really innovative games are still a few months to a year or more away. (Alan Wake and Mass Effect, for example, though some of you may disagree with me. That's O...
Take The Inquirer's comment with a BIG grain of salt.
That said, why the price disparity in Europe? I know that pricing differs from region to region, but Sony's European pricing seems a little extreme. Maybe they saw how sluggish PS3 sales were in N. America and Japan and compensated for lost revenue with higher European prices. Question is, why? Why soak Europe? Maybe I'm reading the numbers wrong, but it seems that way. I'm not bashing them unnecessarily, but these numbers ...
In Conker: Live and Reloaded, one of the bosses was a giant mound of...poo. You beat him by throwing toilet paper rolls into his mouth.
Golden Poo Snake...I think flushing may be involved. Matter of fact, I think I met him the other night, after a trip to Taco Bell... :)
LOL.
I'm still going to buy it, tho. RPGs are like an addiction to me.
1. Why don't the graphics look more next-gen?
--This is a BETA. Bungie has four months to polish this up. Besides, Halo is about gameplay, not graphics.
2. Why does someone keep stealing our kills?
See Halo 1, Halo 2 for more of the same
3. Why do we always end up in a 'Shotty Snipers' match?
--Please fix this, Bungie. Major problem with H2 was the lack of variety in matchmaking...nearly every damn match was snipers or...
