Yup, rumors that persist tend to come true. But according to fanboys...
- Star Ocean IV will never hit PS3 despite rumors.
- Gears of War 2 will never hit PC dspite rumors.
- But MGS4 WILL hit 360 because rumors always come true?
People need to make up their minds already.
But Mass Effect 2 can't come to the PS3! PS3 owners haven't played the prequels and its a continuous story!
Oh wait, wrong argument.
*rewinds*
But MGS4 can't come to the 360! 360 owners haven't...
Congrats to the team at Lionhead for their hardwork. This looks to be an amazing title. I have to say, THIS game would be the reason for me to pick up a 360, easily. Good work Molyneux!
As for FirstKn1ght, give it a rest...

Oh how quickly you forget the $800 swag bags MS sent out to Halo 3 reviewers. Tsk tsk. Pot. Kettle. Black. Also, most of...
I pity people who let other's opinions (IE review scores) judge what a quality title is to them. I've had more fun with $10 bargain bin titles than most AAA exclusives. Hype does not necessarily breed fun.
His bias OOZES from every word. The "only" thing PS3 has going for it? Please.
I agree. People like Miyamoto, Kojima, Itakagi should be recognized. However, where does it end? These men do not make games on their own. It takes a lot of talented people pulling a lot of crazy hours, from the CEO down to QA, to make these titles. How do we properly recognize all of them?
Yup, its the old value vs. cost issue. I'm wondering how many people will be disappointed to find their total tally more than $200 though, once they start realizing the acccessories they need such as an HDD and Live account. Granted that may not be the norm, but I wonder if the nickel and diming will get to some people?
*sigh*
More Cnet BS?
Yes, I think a price drop would make the PS3 even more competitive than it has been. Cheaper systems are good for consumers, especially during this recession. But considering its price point and how well its doing, unless it takes a major hammering this month, I don't see it being an issue, especially with the great holiday lineup.
But this is Cnet. It's always been 90% anti BluRay and PS3.
*sigh*
And the 360 has 2 that I am unable to buy on a PC! So they are even!
I think reviews should continue. But I think gamers, and even fanboys, need to change how they view and react to them. We should never place them above our own opinions, or use them as ammo in stupid flame wars. I don't give a damn if Halo 3 scored 99%, it doesn't make it any more fun for ME. That's not to say the game isn't quality, it's just not for me, thus the review score clashes with my opinon.
Gamers need to READ the review for the pros and cons, cross reference other r...
No Fishy, you are right. People put too much stock into arbitrary review scores instead of the review itself. A number tells me nothing, NOTHING, about a game. Not only is it one man's OPINION, but it's also FAR from universal even in numbered scoring. Every person has their own scale, as does every magazine, website, etc. That's why I find it silly to put any weight behind them.
Read the reviews. Use them to INFORM you about a purchase, not to JUDGE a game you have yet to play...
Unfortunately, I feel games ARE getting dumber. In an attempt to broaden the market, and after the appeal and sales of the Wii, companies are trying to bring in casual gamers left and right. The problem with this is two fold...
1) They are trying to make games that are designed for the hardcore as casual now. It just doesn't work for all genres, and instead we get games that COULD have been so much more. That's why I am thankful for titles like DMC and MM9.
2) T...
I don't care what some washed up editor thinks about the Xbox.
I don't care what some no talent POS rapper thinks about the Playstation.
Neither should any of you.
This isn't NEWS for gamers. I love how this awesome idea for a site is floundering under its own fanboy bullsh1t. Great concept, horrible execution. More news, less BS... that would be nice.
I hear ya. I'd love actual discussions on the pros and cons of game visuals instead of "MGS4 looks better than Gears." How? Why? There is so, so so much more to a game than just texture fidelity. Howabout the fact that Gears 2 looks to have distance fog and simple geometry? Or the fact that Uncharted has screen tearing and aliasing? There's more to it than just "graphics" and that's why I laugh my ass off when people who have no clue what they are talking about start argui...
That's rather silly. I should insult Xbox 360 owners for always wanting PS franchises instead of helping support their own. Tekken? Really? Good for you... I guess? Don't feed the BS. Be a gamer, not a fanboy.
As for Team Ninja, yes, the new group has a lot to prove. But I have to laugh if you think Itakagi is the ONLY person that made the NG series and DOA series what they are. It's a TEAM effort, a GROUP effort. Something fanboys will never, ever understand I guess.
Hey Thor, nice to see someone else who is a fellow artist. Do you prefer Maya or Max?
Also, had to ask... do you find it funny people compare graphics all the time in such laymans terms, without ever taking time to discuss the pros and cons of each element? Such as art direction, character design, lighting, etc. All I ever hear is "ZOMG look at teh texturs!"
Don't forget Frinky, the 360 is the ONLY place for AAA exclusive JRPGs such as Infinite Undiscovery.
I love how the fanboys are instantly trying to spin this against MGS4 instead. So silly, makes me smile.
Weird. I seem to remember ONE Japanese store doing the same for MGS4, and EVERY Xbox fanboy jumped on it as being a flop internationally.
Turnabout is fair play. You reap what you sow. Get over it.
Edit - Same time post. Bubbles for Frinky.
Anything can look advanced when you slap distance fog about 20 feet in front of the player.
Shhh... don't use logic here. Let the fanboys just contradict themselves!
