Hayashi is awesome. I love how he conducts himself in interviews and the work his part of the team put into NGS, its still a standout PS3 titles IMHO. Hopefully this means we'll see more titles with him at the forefront soon.
No fanboy should be taken seriously, that's why they are fanboys.
Tell me, why is it okay to hype Alan Wake? How much about the game/gameplay, outside of visuals, do you really know? It's being hyped for hypes sake, and seems a rather silly move. No dev has a perfect track record, especially when stepping into new genres they have yet to develop in.
People do, on BOTH sides of the fence, tend to hype anything with the title "exclusive" slapped on it by...
Christian Hour...
Sorry but, the Halo 3 announcement WAS CG... as far as people improperly use the term CG these days. It was not in game or close to final product. What it did use, as they claim, was "ingame assets." This could be models, or even just simply designs. The video was using a level of resolution, Anti-aliasing, and texture detail not found in the final game, running at a perfect framerate with particles that just aren't happening on today's systems. I'm ...
I know.. damn MGS4 for being the greatest story in gaming! Damn it to hell!
Don't forget FFXIII and DMC4.
Also, Tecmo =/= Sony.
It works both ways, from both camps, if you keep your eyes open.
I'll reserve my judgement until I play a demo personally.
Anyone else excited fror Bayonetta?
For games, the 360 cannot use BluRay, as it would split the user base. So no, that will not happen with the 360.
For choice... you know, that constant argument that Xbox fanboys love to toss around, I don't see why people WOULDN'T want the OPTION of purchasing an Xbox 360 BluRay attachment. Especially since the 360 is touted as a multimedia device/hub just as the PS3 is.
I also still don't understand why people HATE on a storage format. It's just silly.
It's just business guys. Third party exclusives are rapidly dwindling, especially since now we have platforms that are 90% similar.
What we should be more concerned about is Square Enix taking a dive in quality. Remember the days where they tried NEW IPs and genres? Stuff like Brave Fencer Musashi and Einhander? Now its mostly FF whoring it seems. Blah.
Everyone is so entrenched in Xbox vs PS fanboy wars they aren't rallying as gamers against these companies who...
Indeed. EA is working hard to turn around their image.
Now Activision... man they love to rape our wallets. This Starcraft and CoD5 fiasco pisses me off.
THAT tipped you off Knight? Really? Weird, I was tipped off when reviewers were caught being given swag bags to review Halo 3, which came out well before MGS4. You must have missed that part...
BTW, I'm all for hiding the story spoilers that Kojima wished to keep secret, which I was told was most of the restriction anyways. Spoiling the ending of 60 years of continuity would be a d1ck move.
Hmm... shoulda called this...
N4G to stop allowing story titles that are just questions??
Seriously, I thought this was NEWS for gamers, not random blogs/editorials/opinion pieces.
And to answer the question, most certainly no.
Apparently you aren't allowed to say that around here. Bubs for you.
I agree. People forget, competition is GOOD. But MS's tactics are something I don't agree with. Fanboys don't seem to see the bigger picture here. GAMERS are losing the WAR while the fanboys are worried about the insignificant skirmish at hand.
Horse armor was just the beginning...
I don't trust review scores. They mean nothing to me for so many reasons, the least of which being the whole "paid for" aspect. I use a review's content however to help inform myself, then make my own decision.
I suggest you all do the same, for ALL games.
EDIT - Disagree fairy eh? Be a man and tell me why I should let someone else's opinion be greater than my own?
People won't know the differences? I disagree. It's called education. People are fully able to maturely research the differences in consoles before a purchase without resorting to such childish tactics.
Fanboys almost seem to stem from not only validating their own purchase, but feeling insecure about someone else's so much so that they need to shoot others down. Sad.
Fanboys... the lowest form of scum and villainy in the galaxy. They are unable to discuss a hobby as adults. They are so below me its silly, and yes, sometimes I revel in being able to take their ill thought "arguments" and ram them down their hypocritical throats in the name of entertainment... but then I left Gamefaqs. This site appears to be even worse, amazingly...
And yes, it's okay to have preference. It's okay to like something more than something else. But peo...
The majority of people are also too dumb to work a computer. DD will never take off. Fact.
See, I can do it too!
Looks like a typical U3 engine game. Nice textures, somewhat plastic, low poly models, derivative character design. I've never been a fan of the U3 engine, or Epic's art direction, but it definitely looks crisp and solid, with nice particle effects and lighting. My only complaint is distance fog... really? I hope every level isn't like that.
To be a GOTY contender I think it needs more than just being the sequel to Gears, and we still havent seen the full fall lineup yet for bo...
I played it 3 years before that, it was called Kill.Switch.
