Personally, I think most of the complaints are "nit-picky."
The weapons/map/playlist design is about taste. Even though I liked Halo 2's playlist better, that can and will be changed in the future. As can weapon balance.
The 640p thing isn't really a big deal for an ordinary layperson. However, the reviewers should have picked up on that and adjusted their reviews accordingly. But for the avergae gamer, (the average gamer still doesn't have an HDT...
Did you mean to say "TWICE the players as Halo" or "HALF the players as Halo"
You guys should give the "****SPOILER****" warning when you are about to talk about the end of a game.
Jinxstar, about games that could make movies, you forgot Knights of the Old Republic. But of course that starts an entirely different argument with Star Wars nerds.
But we don't know what kind of deal Sony and IBM negotiated together. They collaborated together, along with Toshiba, to make the Cell possible. Don't forget that without the PS3 Cell may have never been produced in the scale at which it is no being produced. That means that Sony had a powerful bargaining chip when that deal was made.
The Playstation makes it possible for Cell to become mainstream. The PS3 creates demand for millions of Cell processors. Moreover, the dea...
EA makes all of its money from video games. If they made a console they would be like Sega and Nintendo, unable to sell their hardware at a loss because they don't have any other units to subsidize their hardware losses. They would not advance gaming technology they would help stagnate it. In fact this article is about EA's resistance to the advancements in video game technology.
Think about it; this guy wants a standard platform across all video games so that they can kee...
Actually Microsoft has NOT made a profit on the Xbox 360 yet. They are promising to turn the corner this year (with the release of Halo 3) and to continue making a profit hereafter.
However, a profit has not quite materialized yet, but time is not up yet either. If they don't turn a profit soon though, the shareholders are going to start threatening to pull the plug on the Xbox.
No, they are going to stop making the American 60GB PS3 completely. Judging from this all that will be left in the US are the 80GB PS3 and the 40GB PS3. I suspect that in time the 80GB PS3 will go away and all that will be left is the non-BC PS3 although they may increase the HD space past 40.
It is just plain cheaper from Sony to continue to provide PS2 compatibility in the form of selling the PS2 than it is to build the support into the PS3. Moreover, it keeping the PS3 en...
If what you said about Haze is true, then I violently disagree with your assertion that no one is going to care about this game. If this games looks and plays just like Halo, then it is going to be a AAA title, just like Halo. It'll get a 9.5 from Gamestop and it'll be a PS3 system seller. People will be playing its multiplayer forever, just like Halo.
I hope you are right. People haven't gotten enough Halo. Microsoft is under-serving the Halo market. If you are corrtec...
Mark my words, LucasArts is going to mess up Force Unleashed. The will either cut the budget too short or make the deadline too soon or something. With the exception of the orginal KOTOR LucasArts has never failed to disappoint in recent years.
The only thing that Capcom could do that would be earthshaking is making Resident Evil 5 PS3 exclusive. Nothing else would really matter.
Backward compatibility is a desireable feature but if cutting it allows Sony to cut the price to $399 then it is a good decision.
The price of the PS3 has dropped by $200 in one year. That is remarkable.
If you have to play a PS2 game that bad you can still buy one for the amount of the PS3 price cut.
I once had this explained to me by a very smart person. So I am explaining it to you. He simplified it a great deal in explaining it to me. I will trying to simplify even more than than.
Xbox 360 and PC programs work by the frame. You specify all the tasks that must be done in a certain frame, assign them a weight and a priority and load them into memory. When the CPU determines what is to be done in a given frame it send the tasks to another program called a scheduler. T...
Microsoft is introduceing a feature a similar to home? What is it?
I already like this game and I haven't even seen it yet;....naked women are always good.....especially when they're bad.
Backward Compatibility is not that big of a deal because the PS2 is still in production, costs about $100 (the amount of the price cut), and is selling like hotcakes.
If you really need to play a PS2 game, you can buy a 40GB PS3, and a PS2, for roughly the same price as the 60GB PS3.
Is this Price drop coming to the US or is it just for Europe?
Halo 3 is going to break a LOT of Xboxes.
One thing that I could tell from that video is that then A.I. in NGS is more difficult.
In NG2 the enemies are just standing there attacking one at time while Ryu attacks them. In NGS Ryu is constantly being attacked by two enemies at a time, and he is constantly counterattacking.
Heavenly Sword does LOOK better than Ninja Gaiden 2, but I doubt that it will PLAY better than Ninja Gaiden 2.
Heavenly Sword is a game that released 10 months after its system launched.
Ninja Gaiden 2 is a game that will release 30-36 months after its system launched.
It seems like a pretty good sequence to me.
Nevertheless, you can not judge a clip like this and tell whether it ruins gameplay or not without context to the rest of the game. Whoever made this title needs to unplug himself from the Hatrix.
