Would they do what?
VGChartz puts DMC4 at 1.23 million units sold on 360 and 1.30 million units sold on PS3.
The thing is Microsoft would sell 7 or 8 million copies of a game like this, even after you take into account the 360 "this game's got no guns in it" penalty that affects their hack n' slash sales.
Why can't I buy the God of War Happy meal, or the God of War Subway Sandwich. Sony badly needs help marketing in the USA. Microsoft would be selling God of War potato chips if they owned this game.
This game is all about story.
How can this idiot get show. He's wrong about 99% of the time. I actually watch what Michael Patcher says to find out what is NOT going to happen.
The only thing that 360 fans and PS3 fans ever agree on may be that Michael has got a clue about gaming.
Michael Patcher, uniting 360 fans and PS3 fans like only he can.
The 360 has half the lead it had when the PS3 first came out. When the PS3 released the 360 had a one year lead of about 10 million units; now the 360 has a lead of about 5 million units.
Isn't Heavy Rain a role-playing game? We control a character. We make choices. Our choices change the rest of the game. If we play the game over and make different choices we get a different outcome. That's the definition of a Western RPG isn't it?
That's actually a stronger position for the PSN. They are free to take it or leave it if they want while you have done all the work. With XBL you have already been approved even though you may have made a piece of garbage.
A game about Naked Snake A.K.A. "Big Boss" and Outer Heaven is not a spin-off or a side story. That is the meat of what Metal Gear Solid is about.
A game based on Raiden on the other hand....
I meant a PORtrayal not BEtrayal.
"Sexiest" is way too undefined. In my mind "sexy" is an attitude or a behavior mixed with dress. Whereas attractiveness has to do with more basic body-type. But I'll play for bit. Women come in so many flavors. It really depends on what you call sexy; even more than that it depends on the situation and what you want at the time.
The only video game character with a betrayal balance enough to make be the wife is Elena Fisher from Uncharted 1 & 2. That...
It depends on the situation and the game. If I needed the money I would take it. I have to feed my family first. If I didn't need the money and the game I would keep the game to whatever platform would better help me realize my vision.
The game looks fine to me. The game looked like a Gears of War clone when it was PS3 exclusive and it looks like one now that it is multi-plat. BTW, this game was probably developed for the Lowest Common Denominator (LCD) and planned to be multi-platform from the get-go. It makes no sense for a third-party to clone a game and not sell it to the audience that is proven to love the original. Besides, in this environment it is so easy to get extra money.
It is such a simple form...
This proves that Good game + great marketing SELLS MORE THAN Great game + good marketing every time.
PS3 fans make the argument that developing a game for the 360 prevents the game from being what it could be if it were developed solely for the PS3. To be up front I share that view. The second part of that argument is that developing games for the PS3 DOES NOT HOLD BACK THE 360 VERSION from being all that it could be. In either case the PS3 version is the one that gets gimped.
If a game that was originally envisioned for PS3 comes to 360, the advantages of the PS3 are not u...
FFXIII had deleted content? Was it like whole cities maybe? We all knew from the moment that FFXIII was announce to be multiplatform that it would be nerfed in some way to run equally on 360. Now we see that it was weakened graphically and gameplay-wise.
The sad thing for SE, and perhaps a good thing for PS3 fans, is that FFXIII's 360 sales are going to get absolutely raped by Mass Effect 2. And I mean RAPED. It won't be close. ME2 will probably sell more units on 360 than...
High sales are not the result of a quality game; high sales are the result of quality marketing of the game.
The article says not to hype God of War III and then it proceeds to hype Halo Reach.
Virtua Fighter 5
It would take forever to master every character vs every other character.
How can you cast a Metal Gear Solid movie without mentioning Otacon. He has got to be the second or third most important character....Yeah, third.
1. Snake
2. Ocelot
3. Otacon
P.S.
The same person should play both Liquid and Solid.
"Too much work" probably means......
"Making a giant open-world game run at native 720p on both the Xbox 360 and the PS3, would have used 40 or 50 gigabytes of space on both systems."
Every RPG that matters this generation has free-roaming and multple towns and villages. Even Infamous has 3 islands. (I guess Infamous is an RPG by Japanese standards) Square-Enix just couldn't manage to do this with their biggest title.
This whole ...
