You know, it's like this with a lot of stuff. On Tagged for instance you buy people "gifts" for their profile. Usually just some pic representing an item. But I flipped when I saw that there's a diamond ring (again, not real just some little icon) for $25!!!
It's just the American way. Capitalism equals making money on dumb ideas, that people will actually care to put money down on. Problem is nobody calls it "dumb" when money is involved. They call it busines...
Blu-ray is storage, nothing more. 50 gb of space. Having it on one disc means 50 gb, having 5 dvd9s means almost the same. Space is space. The disc is nothing more than a 3rd revision to a standard that goes back to 86 when CDs came out. Same form factor, different laser, different data density, different write procedures. That's all.
The construction for the drive is still nearly the same: slot loading, tray loading, or top loading. The spindle construction is nearly the same. T...
From my perspective, games were either too big for the causal gamer, or not technically exploiting the PSP's awesome power. It can do so much, and it's really amazing to have all that wrapped into one package.
But the only game I TRULY ever loved on it was LocoRoco, basically because it was the right kind of game for it. Not too many buttons to worry about! GTA is also the right "kind" of game for it: something you can pick up and play and then let it go when you see th...
Well, I can say that he's just a developer not a spokesperson. Not everyone out there can deal with the public. I mean let's face it: we're assholes and we can say too much sometimes! Maybe we should ALL STFU!
I wish that "fellow gamers" wouldn't start a bonfire every time they see something like this. Sure, it would really piss anyone off to give Microsoft more money for anything. But I'm happy with Live as it has been over the past few years and I'm even more happy to know that this "overhaul" is actually coming to fruition.
One more thing, there is no REAL honor in this industry. So to those who say that MS is copying off of Nintendo's miis and Sony's Home, think...
But most often, it's during those critical releases of much anticipated games. With FF-XIII Squeenix sees the good that can come out of releasing games on 360 in NA and EU because of the large install base! And they're releasing the game on a console that has an ever increasing lead in the jRPG realm.
With a strong backing by major companies heavily respected in this genre 360's sales in that region will continue to result in shortages. But that will be due mainly to a smaller perce...
So, to meet you're quote of "five times more" in sales, what then, would the Japanese need to bare more children? You can't expect a country that small to buy/sell as well as the US or UK. Plus, their economy basically calls for a NEED to export. What good does it do them to sell more in their own country (with a lesser Yen value) rather than to go out there mingle with the REAL money (British pounds, US dollars, etc).
I...I'm sorry. The Jamaican get's in me every now and then. But yeah, right on yahoo's home page under featured it says "Sony Takes The Lead"
Ya kno mon, rit noe dey be sayin on da yahoo home page mon "Sony Takes the Lead"
??? wha be dey smokin, mon? 360, irie mon! be rasta.
Forge is an awesome asset. But it's TOO much for me. And the theatre...I think they kinda went overboard, but I can see it being useful. There were some truly awesome moments in my play through. I beat it on Heroic, now to tackle Legendary.
And KillZone2 looks great, so I'm sure you could get the same experience with it. But the market for shooters is getting REAL saturated these days. I have like 7 FPS/3rdPSs!
Cast prejudices aside and think objective. Metal Gear Solid has fans in all of us, from nintendo gamers to PSX gamers, right down to being on the PC. Kojima authorized the remake of MGS for the GameCube, as well as MGS2 Substance for the Xbox.
We ALL love MGS!
...so yeah, we 360 gamers were jealous not being able to play this at launch.
Let's just acknowledge that anythings possible. That way, when you're right, you're right. And when you're wrong, it don't matter.
How many people bought MGS4 on PS3?
...so, how many out of those should really care what happens after the game has already come out? I don't think PS3 gamers should feel THIS uptight about it! How many times have you guys beat it by now? And it causes you to foam at the mouth when 360 gamers want to be able play it ONCE on their console?!
Sure...the message Sony is getting at is that they don't want you to think it's possible. Sony doesn't want its minions thinking on ...
FF7 was done with 3d characters on 2d backdrops. Each environment had certain boundaries that prevented you from going anywhere else. Let's say it took you roughly 6-12hrs to get from the beginning to your first venture into the world map (depending on how good you were). Midgar was a pretty big town BACK THEN. Now, let's render it in full 3d. You see the problem? If every screen in Midgar was fully explorable, you blow up the time it took just to the world map by at least 6-8hrs more. Since,...
Common people...let it be. I'm a huge FF7 fan myself, but let it go. FF7 ended long ago, and even with Square's (bizarre) story augments I don't think that they should waste anymore resources on a remake. Personally, I think FF7 ended the way it should have, for being a 1997 game.
that's EXACTLY what he said. try reading:)
Sad, but true. I think the gaming industry is more about adapting to the formula that seems to be all the rage, rather than seeking to alter it somehow. If MS sees miis as something that gets gamers attention, they will make an effort to copy it. Sony saw how well xbox live and sega.net had done for their time, so they copied it.
Whether or not anyone can claim to be the originator, the instigator, the perpetrator, or the emancipator it doesn't mean that the progress they put int...
It's hard being a 360 gamer and upholding that we are respectable people, when there are xobox fanboys who just feed sony fanboys anger and hatred for us.
(listening to jurassic 5's "day at the races"...can anyone rap as good as these guys? its them, styles of beyond, and dialated peoples who I respect the most)
It's just pointless...I put my games in the corner, not my girl.
A good example of freely using the media as a way to sling mud. Maybe ABC is sorry it didn't partner up with MS like NBC did. In this country, we do so easily make readily available to mindless masses ways of venting their aimless frustrations.
If Microsoft was scared, its because I got out of college and started programming. So they offered me a job and now they don't fear me at all. Actually, now I grab coffee for the office whore mongers and take their messages:P lol
