Randomwiz it's funny, because RRoD meant the console was failing due to heat as well.
So the universal constant here is that consoles can fail if they overheat. And the universal deterent for that would be to relocate your console to somewhere less cluttered or away from other heat producing electronics, and to keep the air conditioner running/windows open. And give the console a break every hour or 2.
Just pause the game guys! Get up and just drop the controller...
Hm...I really did think that all the YLoD stuff was just a hoax. You mean the infallible PS3 is actually failing?
Well for justice's sake I hope it gets Sony as much slander as RRoD did for Microsoft. It would be wrong to bash one company for a faulty console but let the other slide...
FEAR on the PC was 4 CDs long (or 1 DVD)...and recieved amazing accolades.
The number of discs doesn't have any impact on how great the game is. FF7 has 3 discs, Resident Evil 2 had 2, Metal Gear Solid had 2, GT had 2...many games on PlayStation had multiple discs. I don't see how changing a disc can really be such a mind rape to you PS3 fans :\
Resident Evil can be beat in 2.5hrs...so what's your point?
MGS could be beat in under 5hrs...again what's your point?
It's funny, I'm saying the same thing you're saying in my statement below yet I get disagrees. Fanboys :)
You're accusing IGN of killing hype...I honestly don't see how 9.5 is killing hype.
Now, what it DID manage to kill was OVERhype. Which is people claiming it should've gotten all 10s. If you agreed with Spyke47's comment way above, you're agreeing with me too.
You want the game to score 10. That's bias. Unbias is someone who'll critique according a uniform set of standards. So if it scored .5 less in a category so be it!
Stop being such a bag of douche, a 9.5 is a 9.5 :\
Even the Aliens from Toy Story will be outside stores for this game.
edit: someone disagreed with that?
I don't see how working on the Xbox 360 hinders the PS3 version at all. You're working on two different machines, not two different games. The game is being built on PC first, and then being released on PS3 and 360 as well as on PC. Their work on either version will only be what they need to do to accomodate that console. Bluray is space, whether it's on 1 disc or 4 it's still just space.
There are plenty of great examples of Xbox 360's capabilities, you just don't want to give them that credit.
And as far saying that "x game looks better than x game" that's just a matter of opinion. Your opinion shouldn't cloud your ability to see the facts. And the facts are pretty simple, both machines have great games. The whole nonsense of trying to outdo each other or trying to claim superiority is just childish.

Most of the space taken up by a game is in its multimedia files, anything that requires a bitstream to quantify its quality. Textures, audio, and movies.
Level geometry, meshes, character models, folliage, a.i., etc, these things are just sets of rules and math. So their file sizes tend to be smaller than multimedia files. The real advantage of using bluray is only for having higher resolution video and audio, since textures can still be small enough even at high resolutions (u...
The only thing last gen about Xbox 360 is the DVD drive. Specs-wise it's a very capable HD gaming console.
And Wxer, God of War 3 and GT5 will most likely not be 1080p. That's too much to demand from PS3's memory bandwidth and still want to be doing exceptional realtime graphics. Most developers will chose to lower the res to 720p and take the extra processing power and less strenuous demands of the framebuffer in that scenerio over being able to say that a game is 1080p, yet n...
It would certainly be interesting if it were true, but I'm thinking more logically that it's just bad translation.
The PS3 slim was Sony admitting that PS3 was overpriced and stuffed with "non gaming-essential features".
Microsoft offers the Arcade and the Elite now. And plenty of options between the two, minus of course bluray and wifi networking. They both have the same value when it comes to gaming, both are HD gaming consoles. So in my eyes either console would provide a good experience. And as for this bundle, it's one sweet deal so I'm sure it'll sell quite well!
Beyond3D works hard, so I wouldn't say lies. Just truths that fanboys disagree with :)
Wxer...you would've bought a Wii then if looks didn't matter.
Also the bundle is a lot more than just paint. I don't need to waste space listing what's in it, I just need to say that it's awesome. And yes it will boost sales VERY much.
Sony fights back with threats...at least Microsoft hasn't resorted to such tactics.
Sony knows the harm that YLoD could cause PS3's saes so they come after anyone who'll try to make YLoD known.
If YLoD didn't exist then it WOULDN'T exist.
YLoD exists. Karma...
Maybe this will help deter the RRoD stories? Or will you guys opt to not learn the lesson here...either way I find it very hypocritical that there are those of you who want to see THESE GUYS sued instead of Sony for its faulty PS3.
Which is the exact same case many of you WOULD apply to Microsoft. You'd be fine seeing that but anything like this that makes it to the limelight you'd rather stiffle.
Calling it a "minimal pr...

Whoa...
Nice review! It's great to see ODST getting decent scores.
