I still regard Gears1 as one of the best xbox games(even better than part 2) but still, i gotta say, what did Epic really do that was all that impressive before Gears? UT? Sure, Halo borrowed a lot from UT, but I never thought highly of either game.
All I'm saying is, it would be stupid to rule Tecmo out. Sure, NG2 was kind of a letdown, it felt more like a rehash of the original, which people like to forget was pretty damn groundbreaking in its day, but I still have faith they...
For the love of god, please stop making games, you are killing skateboarding.
Ya know, I was thinking about visiting IGN today, but after seeing this flamebait, I don't think I want to give their web site another hit and give them the false impression this is the kind of journalism people care about.
It basically amounts to 2 free kills everytime you respawn. Maybe if they just gave you 1 tube, or made you earn it, then it would be a little more fair.
And its the author of this article. I don't know if he's noticed, but the whole 'Console War' has pretty much died down recently. This is actually one of the first articles I've read that's addressing it, and I don't think its going to help - if anything its going to have the opposite effect.
IMO, the console war is dying down now because Sony is flexing its muscle and the PS3 is becoming the console we all knew it would be. They are now less than 5 million units behind MS and ...
Their games have good production values but the gameplay mechanics leave more to be desired...most of their games aren't even very challenging, the online makes or breaks them.
Lets bring it down to earth here people - Natal is only going to be a 50-60$ peripheral - a wifi adapter costs more than that! I'm sure they will have plenty of glorified minigames like XboxSports or XboxFit, but revolutionizing the industry it will not.
I heard somewhere they have millions of cameras, almost every traffic light has a camera on it. This new law doesn't surprise me at all.
Actually, I beleive epic have stated that the next Gears will come out on next gen consoles, plus, they only signed a 2 game deal w/ MS initially. Whether or not they are going to work out another deal remains to be seen...
No, not all games get old after 10 mins, just games that rehash other 20 year old games people have been playing forever now. Didn't they release a version of this on the ds already? It looks like the same classic Mario Bros formula, but with multiplayer...wow, big step up. They used to have an arcade back in the day that was the same thing, you could be mario and luigi, and enemies would spawn as you fought each other - there was a pow barrel in the middle. Ring any bells?
My ...
I geuss if you own a wii, its pretty much one of the only games to look foward to this holiday season, but still, it looks like it would get old after about 10mins.
Is a half life or counterstike sequel too much to ask for!
Valve, you used to be one of my favorite devs, now look at you. I think its time we all sit down and have an intervention with gabe newall. The man has really let himself go.
That was my obligatory gabe newall joke.
eh, if MS is only going to sell this for 50-60 bucks I don't see how revolutionary it could be. Hell, a wifi adapter costs 100 bucks!
As developers of one of the most popular series of games, you would think IW would have a little more common sense and class. Videogames are already an easy target for society to put blame on, do we really need IW to further stereotypes that gamers are a bunch of imbeciles?
And society also has a lot of uses for the N word, but that doesn't make it ok to use it like its no big deal. It doesn't matter how you use it, the connotation is still there.
Yeah, I actually give them credit for such a ballsy move. If anything, it gives me more faith in the game having a compelling storyline, but my main concern is whether or not the gameplay is actually their. If the story is good enough, it might be enough to make up for it.
For a service that prides itself on user support this is kind of a dumb move; why not just stop players playing the same game from using in-game chat instead of punishing people who are playing something totally different and just want to chat?
You'd know that netflix was planned to come out on all Blu Ray players. Really though, its overrated. Their instant queue titles are a bunch of rubbish. Yeah, I can't wait to watch the toxic avenger on my power hungry console!
The PS Store is still your best option for watching newer movies on your console.
As far as Facebook and Twitter go, the PS3 has had that capability since launch - its called a web browser.
I don't really see MS' sales topping the PS3 until Natal comes out next winter maybe
All I know is GT5 is gonna be huge, and if they market it right, Agent should be a hit w/ the GTA crowd. As it stands, I could easily see Agent being the killer app next holdiday season, and you know Sony is going to roll something else out.
Once this whole motion controller hype machine dies down and people realize its not that big of a deal, Sony will still have a plethera of s...
Yeah, I played BlazBlue and I was more impressed w/ the level design than the actual gameplay.
IMO, the last good tony hawk was part 2
