I think Sega should get back into the console arena. I still, to this day, would rank the Dreamcast as one of, if not the, best consoles ever. It had some of the most original and addictive games ever made and it deserved to do better in the market than it did. The rise of the Playstation brand, the shadow of the Sega Saturn (and the 32x and mega cd) and some truely awful advertsing (in the UK anyway) shortened the life of what was a brilliant games console. I hope sega give it another go, bu...
This article is brilliant. It just a huge finger pointing at all the fanboys (ps3 and x360 alike) who moan when a hyped game doesnt get full marks from absolutely everybody. It happens every time; Look at fable 2, MGS4, Gears 2, LBP etc, some magazine or site doesnt give them top marks because..shock horror..they didnt think it was the best thing in the world ever and the fanboys troll out about naff journalism and being paid off etc. And the scores given don’t even have to be that bad...onl...
Maybe the reason he said they have no plans for bringing Vadar to the xbox 360 version is because he is already on the disc. you cant bring something if its already there (and vice versa with Yoda on PS3). I just hope that its on a time release system like you used to get with arcade games, automatically unlocking the characters after the exclusivity period is over. I dont really like the idea of paying for a download that just unlocks something thats already on the disc that i've already pai...
I can’t wait to finally see something new on this game. Im hoping that its looks amazing, it looked great before but I’d like to think things have improved since the game was last shown (which I think was in 1983 just after the Duke Nukem Forever lol). I’ve been really excited about it for ages but then again I was looking forward to Alone in the Dark and look how that turned out lol
And as for the ps3 fanboys who keep going on about how 360 exclusives always go to the pc. Come one gu...
Unsurprisingly there is a lot of negative post on this thread. It’s a well written article that does raise some hard truths for some people. He does not slate the game and he obviously enjoyed playing it. He is just making a non biased observation that so many people seem to have blown MGS4 out of proportion. Is it an amazing game? Of course it is. Its unanimously praised as one of the best games ever and rightly so but many people (mainly fanboys admittedly) aren’t happy with it just being a...
I have had my wii collecting dust for months, looks like there may finally be a reason to plug it back it. Yeah ok so far all we have seen is pretty shallow gameplay that revolves around killing people in numerous ways but the graphics looks really cool and it looks like it could be a laugh. Hooray for nintendo, they finally realised that Resident Evil 4 shouldnt be the only mature rated game on their system!!
To be honest im really hoping they resurrect a popular but half forgotten IP (something like Shenmue, Jet Set Radio, KotOR, Skies of Arcadia, Gunstar Heores, Earthworm Jim or Powerstone) or have an (at least timed)exclusive sequal like Half Life 3 or Bioshock 2.
Though, if reality wasnt an issue, to have them show a brand new high def, hand-drawn sprite filled game of Streets of Rage 4 would be the best thing ever for me. Yeah the game play would be seen as repetitive , but it sure woul...

I know what you mean, we each have our favourites but some people just moan all the time about games they probably havent even played.
I'm a 360 owner and, going by this forum, the only guy who has had one since launch without suffering the red ring of death (i consider myself very lucky lol).I think that the 360 has the better catalogue of games at the moment, but then its been out longer.
I never got round to buying a PS3 because other than Uncharted, which looks great, there ...
Glad to see Battlefield may actually live up to the hype...though saying that, after seeing what famitsu rated Haze, it could still be rubbish.
Sorry there buddy, didnt mean to offend with the fanboy thing. I honestly just thought that your comments about not being a 360 fanboy quite comedically lead to sounding like a PS3 fanboy.
"can I just clarify that no im not a 360 fanboy at all, the name is 360 as in degrees not the console, if people took a few seconds to read a few of my posts they would see that, and if anything, I dislike the 360"
Your right though, the time of just being a gamer seems t...
"I dislike the 360 more than any of my other consoles"
So you're a PS3 fanboy? Well as long as your not biased lol
"Negative reviews just like positive ones are good for letting You know about a particular reviewers understanding but they are bad for sales of the game"
I dont think reviews make that much of a difference to a games sales when the title in question has such a devoted followng. As somebody mentioned before look at "Mario and Sonic and the Olympics" sales figures, a game slated in almost every review sells like hot cakes (are hot cakes really that popular?). M...
I don’t get why every one is making such a big deal out of this. Big name games have always had a couple of less than perfect scores but for some reason this time it’s a huge deal. When the Halo 3 came out most of people gave it perfect marks(or near to them) but a few rated it 8 hell a few gave it 7, fair enough that’s their opinion. Was there huge outrage kicking off about those reviews? GTA4 has been given loads of perfect scores but again some chose to give it an 8 (again going against wh...
Im glad to hear that you are one of the few people on here that has actually played (and apparently enjoyed) Halo 3 before deciding that MGS4 is a better game. Sadly you are in the minority as most people on here throwing around “this is better than that” comments haven’t even played them, at least your comments are based on actual experience with the games. Your preference is your simply opinion however, which you are more than entitled to. It doesn’t make you bias, a ms hater or clueless. I...
@ Domenikos
You are proof that review scores cant stop a game from selling well. This site is full of PS3 owners who have been claiming MGS4 is the greatest game ever played weeks before its release and labeling any reviewer as a hater/clueless or bias if they gave the game less than perfect (hello 8 is still a good score!). Lets face it, this game was going to sell loads purely because the PS3 needs a great, not just a reakky good game like Uncharted but a great game. Whats irri...
Quick question and this isnt to annoy anyone i swear its a genuine question. Havent other FPS had "lean" capabilties before this one? I'd swear this isnt a new move to the world of FPS. I thought the Rainbow 6 games have let you do that already. I could be mistaken, but im sure i have played a fps that let you "lean and peek" before.
I have obviously missed something with this game, so i hope you can help me out without flaming me too much. But, and be honest...
You guys seem to be failing to realise this is just a preview. Its not a review. I wouldnt want to be on this board if someone dares to review this game and rate it 8 out of 10 (which has recently been demoted to a "bad score" but some crazies online, though lord knows why).
Why are you guys blowing this out of proportion, why has every game got to get flawless praise (even though its not finished yet and you havent played it). If it doesnt then it must mean each reviewer/prev...
How can people who have not played the game assume that they have to right to rip into the opinion of those that have? Do you people remember the first KillZone? Looked absolutely amazing in previews and videos, when it came out it was just another fps, didn’t do anything especially different or exciting. All this preview shows is that the sequel seems to be heading the same way, a good shooter but not as revolutionary as the developers and sony kept saying it would be. Why is that so hard to...
Did i read a different article to some of you? He said that the controls suffered from some lag, ok thats a bit negative but other than that he said it was great, "doper than dope" even and he when he finished the demo he wanted more. Surely thats a good thing isn't it? How many people who are calling this article "anti-sony" or saying its written by an "xbot" actually read past the title?
