Its for the Boys and Girls Club..you know, a GOOD cause. Say what you want about Kinect, but Mark Wahlberg is one of those celebrities that gives back to the community. I've seen many of his interviews and he seems to be a really down to earth guy.
"Gaming used to be a niche market. What happened?"
Money happened..the broader the audience you make games for, the more games you sell, thus...more income.
"So...I guess that means revenue from exclusive games went towards the early CoD map packs? Doesn't really make sense imo"
COD is the best selling most played game franchise on the 360. It makes perfect sense....from a business standpoint. I haven't noticed the mainstream crying for more 360 exclusives...only people on the Internet. The truth is, most gamers don't care about exclusives, they just care about playing fun games....hence Modern Warfare 2'...
Doesn't this come out on Friday? How did it already sell out? Do they mean that all the PRE-ORDERS sold out? Damn, guess that means that you had to pre-order it if you want it this week then. If Microsoft plans for this to be a success, they should supply more to meet demand.
@FordGTGuy- Really? I had no idea. I was actually planning on going to Bestbuy around launch time to see if they had a Kinect kiosk somewhere. I guess ill go on Friday :)
"Kinec...
@EasilyTheBest- Where'd u play it?
Maybe their just passionate gamers....or just people that want to make a killing on Ebay lol.
"I disagree Kotaku. Even for 2 Kinect games and a year of Live, spending more than 24hrs in line for a product which does not have a single review yet available for it IS crazy.
Just my opinion though, I hope they don't get sickly."
Parapraxis, casual gamers don't care about reviews remember? The people who watch Oprah and Ellen don...
@fr3d0- You don't NEED either Move or Kinect. 90% of things in ur life are things that you don't need. Television, gaming console, mp3 player, bed etc.
Duh..
@units- 2 disagrees...seems like u hit a nerve lol. Anywho, its nice to see AC: Brotherhood there. It looks like a great game.
"Kinect Adventures rocking in the top 10 and beating LBP2. Hrm."
Bu bu bu how is that possible? The PS3 guys on this site said that Kinect would flop and that Kinect games are shovelware lol. How does Kinect Adventures get more pre orders than an already established franchise like LBP? Don't people know that LBP2 will, I...
"Kinect will probably sell more to be honest but once the hype dies down and people start to notice how limited the controls are and how every game is a recycled gameplay from the last kinect title. Kinect will become a sea of Dance/fitness/casual games"
Yea, same reason the Wii bombed...oh wait
@Disagrees- So..what about my comment do you "disagree" with? Please I'd like to know. ;)
Congratulations EA..well deserved for the best tactical shooter on the market. BC3 is gunna be awesome!
So according to you...hardcore gamers MUST only play hardcore games???
facepalm/
The ignorance on this site never ceases to amaze me.
We have people who aren't interested in Kinect that continuously enter Kinect articles and people who bash IGN who continuously enter IGN review articles. Sad...but true. I've come to the conclusion that most of the people here are under 12 years old because theres NO WAY grown adults can act this way. ...
Thanks for the vid guys...much appreciated.
@rroded- What do you have to gain from going into Kinect articles and saying its going to flop a dozen times a day? If its so bad, why devote so much time towards it? Why even give it so much of your attention?
"no wonder they dont want reviews out
just watching it in action is painful"
Ummm...their launch games. Launch games are NEVER representative of the full potential of a gam...
Is this exclusive DLC or timed-exclusive DLC? If exclusive DLC, then thats great news for PS3 owners. A shame that 360 only owners can't experience it as well. I think whats going to happen is that it will be free for PS3 owners...but 360 only owner will have the opportunity to purchase it at a later date.
Why is it a flop? Because IGN says so?
@sinncross- I remember HHG saying that this was going to be an AAA game. I'm starting to think that HHG may be to easy to please. He rarely gives a bad review. From what I remember, he gave Prototype a 9.7/10. I bought Prototype on his recommendation alone...and the game AT BEST is a 7.5 IMO.
The scary thing is that I think he IS serious. He's complaining that Kinect doesn't appeal to him...so in his mind, that means that Kinect won't appeal to anyone.
"Anyone going hd is already eyeing up a ps3 for xmas n with the move the wii crowds going to b very tempted."
....okay, between you and me. Do you actually believe the crap that comes out of your mouth? I'm being serious here..do you?
Allow me to break down...
Well said. As a PS3 only owner..I KNOW(from playing at friends houses) that XBL is a better online service than PSN as far as ease of use goes...but its not "$60 a year better" IMO than PSN..so I'm sticking with PSN.
XBL is better in the technical sense...but PSN, while not as good as XBL, has the better value.
I'd rather pay $0 a year for something thats 80% of XBL than pay $60 a year to get the full XBL experience.
The title is one big ass spoiler. Pretty much most people on N4G know about the JFK appearance..but this is CVG and many non-N4G folk go there as well.
Very irresponsible on CVG's part.
EDIT: LOL, I like how they tell you its a spoiler AFTER you read the title.
Agreed. But I think it'll get better though.
"It is just a subscription for the people who like to buy lots and lots off the store, to get a bit of a discount."
You hit the nail right on the head. Its meant for people who buy tons of stuff of the Playstation Store. When Dreamcast games come to the PS Store, I'm definetly gunna sign up for Plus cause I'm gunna buy a ton of Dreamcast games :)
And the chance to be in the Ba...
WOW...Treyarch is stepping their game up big time. I'm not buying this because I prefer BC2's multiplayer over COD games, but I'm definetly renting this to play the campaign. It looks great!
@coolbeans- I was thinking the same thing. Not sure what hes talking about.
They missed multitasking. Its been four years and I still can't log on to the PS Store or Internet Browser while in game. Also, I still can't download demos while in-game. Don't understand why Sony hasn't done anything about it. There have been thousands of comments on Playstation.com forums about this.
"Cross game party chat breaks games that rely on strategy and teamwork.
I couldn't imagine playing mag and not talking to the other people pla...
