To continue work or not. I am starting to believe that this is a Sony plot. And that is to flood 2008 with nothing but high profile games. Haze, MGS4, Grand Tourismo Pro followed by GTA4, KZ2, LBP, Resistence 2, GT5... Am I leaving out anything??? Heck starting Jan 22. with Burnout Paradise no one owning a PS3 will be bored with games. 10 Games, 12 months. SCEA, SCEE, SCEJ need to make sure that they spread out evenly.
So far PS3 has the Strongest lineup for 2008.
1 PS3 = $399
Resistance: FOM @ Target = $49.99
Resistance 2 = $59.99 (among standard price)
60 players online for FREE!!! = SOIL Ur Pants priceless
no game deserves 10/10
The next XBox will come when the format war has really been decided. If the format war goes undecided within the next 5 years MS will either be rushed into an early new console or establish a new 360 sku with an internal HD-DVD drive that plays games from HD-DVD disks.
notice I did say monitor. If you are playing on a monitor you will not have full range of color contrast adjustments. You can get great quality out of a monitor with your 360. As for the PS3 it is not as great. I hooked my PS3 to a Sony Bravia and my display looked nothing like IGN PS3 comparison video.
That with all the mixed reviews the ones that are giving it a low score are creating nothing but Controversy. I see it as a way for IGN, and 1UP to flood their servers (a stress test) The bigger the Controversy created the more of us will visit their site and the more we visit the more $$$ site ratings go up.
Games were fun when we were not reading reviews. We should submit to game publishers to have review sites not post reviews until 48 hours after there games hits store shelves. This might slow down overhyping games that they have been playing since pre-Alpha.
Halo 3 was franchise fanboyish. Take Halo 2 patch it with all the fixes optimize it for 360 give it some new MP maps and add a new chapter to the story change the 2 to a 3. That = a higher score than Halo 2. you will see a similar trend when GOW3 and MGS4 comes out the story and the fanboy flock should carry GOW3 and MGS4 to a near perfect 10.
Bioshock review was from a console fanboy that to me seems like he never played Resident Evil, or Silent Hill.
BA was not hyped like ...
RAC:TOD a single player game, a good story, fun, with good replay ability, (when you are finish with replay, it is over. 1UP gave it an 8.5.
AC a single player game, a god story, fun, nothing on the replay ability, (when it is over it is over).
1UP got away from it on Bioshock (10) I think. I guess the gave the boost to the story. But IMHO the lack of replay and the lack of deep exploration and 8.0 or 8.5 but not a perfevt 10.
Raise the bar for the games that we play. NO game is worth a 10. A 7 out of 10 says buy it, play it, and have fun. When it is over it is over. Wait for the next good title. These days a GOOD single player game can only range from 7 - 8.5 with rating boost only being giving to Playing time til completion or a deep story (none since Final Fantasy)sorry but Bioshock is to Linear not a lot of exploration it did not deserve anything above an 8.
Create controversy. Controversail ratings gets everybodys attention. Remember the way of the Internet. It is all about the number of hits a site or an article gets. If 1UP or any other gaming news site gave HALO 3 a 7 out of 10 it would have been an outrage, correct? But that review article would have been the talk of the week, or month. That article would have taken a boat load of hits and the blog entry/forum would have gotten a near record number of comments.
From PES when the Framerate is at 60fps, at least 60fps was attempted. But to flat out state that 60fps for the PS3 was a thing in the past and have this happen kind of shows that either your staff needs to go back to DeVry and take the classes that they cheated on. Or this happened...
Secretary says to Peter Moore:
Secretary: "Hey Peter do you have any more of that candy bar"
Peter: "What candy bar? You know I don't like chocolate."

Dudde I am on my 3rd replacement for trying the all-nighter
My PS3 is a beast, good for pulling an all-nighter. But every now and then I wish I could pull an all-nighter with my 360.
Another Multiplatform Game ported from one system to the other. In the words of PSP advertisement, "Dude, Get your own" PS3 development team. Not shortcutting port tools. However this is Midway (financial troubles). Porting games comes later in the console life cycle when enough knowledge about the system is known. BTW if you have forgotten original XBox games were ported from the PC before it was ported from the PS2 thus the short learning curve.
The work ethics for EA is simply put.. They are to cheap to hire seperate teams for developing new/old games. What they have and utilise are tools to port. IMHO porting games for this New Gen of consoles is not the way to go. UBISOFT has started to realize this, thus the reason no Splinter Cell: Conviction for PS3 and no HAZE for 360 atleast for now. Third party developers need 3 teams (Wii, PS3, & XBox360) for This Gen of consoles. It was easy last Gen because the XBox took basicall...
MS mistake number.. "what are we up to 100". A Built-in HD-DVD drive. Hmmm Considering that Game developers are finding it more difficult to squeeze Games onto DVD9 this will fuel the temptation for developers to Making games on HD-DVD. Some developer company will be tempted to do it. And we/us the consumers will go out and get it. Well maybe not me this time. I am about fed up. Sony did it with the PS2. Remember Day 1 PS2, Sony said that Broadband was not going to be the fo...
Firmware 2.0
Compatibility with Windows Operating system or the gpu enabled OpenGL drivers within Yellow Dog Linux for the PS3 allowing us to play Some PC games. (not far fetched)
An exclusive deal with NetFlix (Not Far fetched)
"Keep in mind it is about SONY, not just the PS3"
*SONY finds a way to cut a deal with the rest of the movie and television industry to support Blu-Ray exclusively* (Not Far fetched bot a loong shot)"I marked those in astrick...
Ubisoft wants Splinter Cell to compete with MGS4. And what better way to compete with it than on its home console. some developers are trying go beyond hardware vs. hardware, and get back to software vs software. Like the old arcade days.
Then:
Streetfighter vs. MK
MK vs KI
Now:
Fisher vs. Snake
Croft vs. Drake
COD4 vs. GRAW2 vs. R6V1&2
and so on.
