Any casual glance at the upcoming release schedule shows that, like November when it was last delayed, February is loaded with incredbily stiff competition. I wouldn't release my game in Feb either, if I were them. I'm not worried about the quality one bit... this is Ubi Montreal, we're talking about here. This is a release window issue, I'm sure. I'm frankly glad it was delayed. I was going to buy 2 games on that day (Heavy Rain being the other). Now I can enjoy them both without distr...
"The problem is that Microsoft isn't the definitive console for this type of audience." The assertion that PS3 and 360 are somehow so fundamentally different they would attract significantly different audiences is so outlandish I can't even believe I'm wasting the time it takes to point it out. If you want to point to the low sales of several recent Microsoft JRPGs, blame the Japanese devs, not hardware manufacturers of their customers. Japanese game development, with a few recen...
I have a few Force FX Lightsaber replicas mounted on my wall, and was quite happy to buy a lightsaber for my Avatar. It seemed overpriced, but I like it a lot, and probably won't buy other things from the store.
Gabe Newell left Microsoft to form Valve. He's the guru of the MS platform, so of course he's going to favor what he knows best.
Remember when Gamspot used the 100 point scale (e.g. 8.8, 8.9) for rating games? Well, they had to change it to a 20 point scale (8.5, 9.0) to hide the fact that PS3 Multiplatform games typically lost a few percentage points due to their slightly inferior graphics. Sure, the difference between an 8.9 and a 9 isn't huge to the consumer, but it makes a huge difference to developers and their publishers. So the switch was made, so that all the lower PS3 scores would be rounded up to match the...
Why would you want to 'forget Mass Effect'? This is a PS3 fanboy article. Nothing more. If the PS3 exclusive game is good, that doesn't mean that other promising, similar games cease to carry any weight.
1) I imagine so. Maybe not for streaming, but I'm not positive.
2) No, Zune HD is not related to Netflix at all.
3) That's going to be a problem for some, but they can download as they always have.
4) Time to switch ISPs if you have a CAP
5) I have Fiber Optic internet, so I really don't worry about it, but for those with Cable internet, this is an issue for sure.
6) HD is technically anything 480p and above visually. I don't know about sound... could see ...
I wish Netflix was set up for 1080p as well. Plus, if you don't have a killer internet connection, don't expect to stream video of that quality... download only for you. Still, it's nice that we can stream BluRay quality vids on the 360. I just wish that you could get 1080p from Netflix, because since we already have that library, I don't see myself paying $5 a movie for extra resolution very often. Still, always nice to have the choice.
This article fails to give credit for the true reason Uncharted looks so nice: The talented team at Naughty Dog. The developers, not the hardware, are responsible. Only people looking to get hits on N4G would suggest otherwise. (I know, because I've done this many, many times here with such classics as "Why the Xbox 360 is still the King" etc.) It's allllll about getting hits for your little site.
Basically, if you want people to read your stuff, you have to pick...
What this author doesn't understand is that the developers are responsible for the graphics just as much, if not more, than the hardware with which they develop for. Naughty Dog gets credit for Uncharted's beauty, not Sony. And I didn't see any mention of the PS3's hardware limitations (surprisingly low RAM, and slow Blu Ray drive access speeds), nor the fact that the vast majority of PS3/360 multiplatform games have better textures and superior anti-aliasing on the 360. This 'article' (or...
It used to have browser support via a plugin for Windows Media Center. I actually used it, but you had to have a PC with Media Center and the required plug-in. It was rather crude (you could only go to sites that were already in your IE 'favorites', but it worked. Then, for some reason, the programmer who created it stopped supporting it. I actually wrote him to ask why, and he never wrote back. Check it out... it may have been updated since I asked the dude.
Oh, and it costs as much as a Wii. Wah!
Is it going TOO far?
CNET is a subsidiary of Microsoft.
Now, having said that, I thought Microsoft had the most impressive showing this year.
How can you claim to have no brand loyalty if you write for a site called PSXEXTREME??? You hear that? They're EXTREME!!!
For a console that's 'standing still', Microsoft's console seems to be selling prettty well. I bet if Microsoft proposed to Sony, "Hey, you guys wanna trade sales figures?", Sony would agree to the switcharoo at breakneck speed.
I met Geoeff Keighly once, and he is, without a doubt, the greatest a-hole in all of gaming. Smug, ill-informed, and as fake as a 3 dollar bill.
just buy the PC version, and install the wonderful Polish mod that restores it to its uncensored glory. It's more violent, sexy, and has dirtier dialogue... and you can keep the English voice work if you like.
You either need to have A) found a reputable link to a site with actual access to the industry, or B) have a sensationalist hook. Since there are far more little sites that don't produce actual news and instead put 'spin' on the handful of authentic game news sites, I'd say that if anything, N4G has allowed little sites to flourish... despite the fact that they produce little to no actual 'news'. The site should be called 'Sensationalism for Gamers'. Here's hoping the new standards rectify...
take the time to use correct English is the hook. To all HipHoppers out there, it's '...that you won't want TO miss.' Not 'too'.
If you think that Natal is honestly going to be $200, get yourself a PS3 avatar because you really, really hate Microsoft. Seriously... Sony's Move will cost more than Natal for sure, considering you must have a camera, controller, nunchuck, and extra controllers for local multiplayer.
