The KZ2 aiming control has way too much lag for my taste. I wished I would of rented the game, first. I would not of bought it. Too bad.
Forget about high prices ... blu ray is not doing well because the quality of their video and audio is barely better than dvd. Sony thinks if they can just dump blu ray movies on the market that we'll buy them. Not so. We're watching. Put out a great action adventure blu ray movie with 5 star video and audio, I'll buy it. Sharp, crisp video with emersive surround sound and thump'n bass.
I'll still buy a HD-DVD over Blu-Ray when given the choice. It can be lonely at the top, especially when there is little demand. Hate to see Blu-Ray fail, too.
I shopped at Grant for years. Bought all my Sony equipment with them. Great prices. They were always tight with Sony, hence, great prices. They never had great relationship with Toshibas HD-DVDs and always pushed Blu-Ray. Big Deal.
Sony xbr LCD tvs (full HD) come with a free PS3 (Sony only promotion). My guess is the profitable division of Sony television is helping out Sony entertainment by buying mass quantities of PS3's and giving them away with their HDTVs. The stakes are huge. Sony has developed a 10 year plan (this means they are willing to take a hit for ten years) in order to insure Blu-Ray survives. Sony entertainment is taking huge losses with each PS3. Sony is pulling all the stops out and are asking the...
I can relate to what you said. I've only bought Resistance and UT3. UT3 has the thumping music, great saturated colors, fine HD video details and great game play. I've been using my PS3 for playing Blu-Ray movies about 98% of the time. I won't agree the PS3 is for hard core gamers until Sony releases Killzone 2. Anybody know when Killzone 2 is coming out???
Just picked up UT3. I've only gone a few levels ... Great game. Love the theme music. Reminds me of unreal championship ... which I thought was amazing. High def video pops out at you. Great saturated colors.
In Florida, blockbusters charges $5.00 for dvd rentals. I just stopped renting and only buy dvds now. Blockbuster does not listen to customers. Hope they learned their lesson.
Multiplayer was awesome. Lots of gamers loved it. They need to up the anti for single campaign (its ok to let the characters jump). Take a lead from COD4, its ok not to be faithful to your roots in order to develop a great game. You'll attract a larger audience of gamers.
The Halo hype will convert many Zelda only players to Zelda and Halo players. It's a natural extension as players get older and can afford a 360. Go platform neutral!!!
First of all, the essence of Halo3 campaign begins in Legendary Mode. There are more vechicles and options for the player to save the world. Any review of campaign mode without the critic playing legendary mode should be viewed with skepticism. I also believe Legendary mode is not as hard as Legendary Mode in Halo1 and Halo2. Guess what, Bungie also agrees and offer the option of activating "skulls" that you can search for that makes the game harder to play ... with the reward o...
Halo3 First Day Sales (which covers 3 days, worldwide) will soon be out. MS conservatively wants to break Harry Potter's $165M first day sales record. My data point: The Halo3 line at my Gamestop store was 4 times longer than for Halo2's midnight release. $125M (Halo2's first day sales) x 4= $500M (Halo3 estimated first day sales). "and the beat down goes onnnnn ... and the beat down goes onnnnn!"
Sony should offer free rumble controllers for those who bought the orignal $600 PS3. How about a free rumble controller w. Kill Zone?
Is your console quite when you play a xbox 360 game?
I would love to see Halo 3's last level similar to that of Halo 1, but have 4 player coop with everyone on the same vechicle blasting the crap out of everything that moves. I'm expecting the fun meter to be as high as Halo1 SP and Halo2 MP, and then some. The bottom line is fun game play. Halo rocks.
Excellent article. 10/10. Bring it on: 9/25. Halo Rocks!
Even though I have a PS3, I will not buy any Blu-Rays from a company who has Michael Dunn in charge. Too bad, I would of really enjoyed those movies.
I thought the game play was excellent. I love the slow mo shooting. Slow mo hand combat would be a great addition.
It's all about the games, to quote Sony. The proof is in the pudding and I'll be the judge the quality once it's up and running on my PS3. I'll be judging the wow factor in single player and multi-player on-line. I'm planning on buying the game, no question about that. Your right, PS3 has only been out 9 months. Sony has another 1.5 years before all their pistons will be firing in sequence (holiday 2008). Chill out.
I like your warning about renting Halo Wars. I would add Killzone 2 to the list. I would not of bought KZ2 due to the lag in control while playing campaign mode. Everything else in the game is great Too bad.
