Since the game industry often uses Car Phrases to describe the inner workings of their game maybe this example will make it easier to showing why it ultimately is KOEI's fault
So we will convert game talk to auto:
Game Engine = Car Engine
Development Tools that take advantage of the Engine: The rest of the Car.
Now, the easy way (and often cheaper way) would be to just take the parts from other Manufacturers that will save you Money....
You be able to get Gears of War supposedly.
But you can bet it put a stopper on any console price war MS was planning. As long as Sony Smart enough to keep the Playstation out of the $399 range you can bet Microsoft won't blink on lowering the Xbox 360. Besides,
$499 really isnt bad and is the Magic number for Sony. Not to high where we consumers find the $599 questionable even as a blu-ray player/game console. Not to low to give Sony Execs ulcers. Plus doesn't put too much pressure on MS to drop the price of the Xbox 360 dra...
Makes the Video seem unnatural.
What makes it cool is the sheer novelty of it. Totally unique but with has that been there before play which gives it some familiarity. Trading Card Games have always had trouble with rule books so that's nothing new. Maybe this will awaken my old love for Card Games.
However like to see some other games using this technology. Maybe even motivate the Sports Card companies to finally add a unique game experience to their collectables. Would like to see actually Popular Tradin...
Come on xbots
this article was Xbox bias admit it.
Just looking at the page 3 comparison wrap. PS3's wrap was pretty ok They could have done a bit in the Get Section but they were pretty close to the mark on forget.
Xbox 360: Now look at the Get Section. Sounds like YVG Staff is making love to the Xbox 360 - sick. Then you see the forget section and they list one and its generic. Come any console use that reason. How this
Forget it:

Unreal Engine seemed working fine on the PS3 when showing UT3. Looked damn good to me. Critics said they were wowed by its graphics.
It just poor excuse if you ask me. Epic has had a fantastic track record with the Unreal Engine. You need look no farther than Gears of War and UT3.
Also seems the AAA games are coming for PS3 and look spectacular! Many of them running their own engine and not Unreal. So whats up KOEI, can't make your own engine and some of the B...
Then we need to take a look to see if there really is any momentum any more
I really think these sales are just the ole faithful gamecube owners updating. Yes Nintendo has attracted some newer casual gamers, however, Nintendo lost a few Gamecube owners as well when the xbox 360 came out.
Nintendo hasn't really increase their console numbers they just replace the ones who got ticked off at Nintendo's horrible game support and crappy controllers of the Gamecube an...
I'm a 6'1" male with a Dutch/German ancestory. I in great shape but I do not have a build that is common in basketball. I other words I don't look like a basketball player. So I don't have long spidery hands, I don't have huge beefy hands. I guess you can say I have normal size hands. I see lots of tall guys that don't have huge fat hands. Lots of Asian Americans here in the west and their builds are similiar to our East Asian friends - even in the hands.
Matter of fa...
PS3 has really impress me with its Open stable Network. I believe it will be easy for games to churn out stable lag free on-line play for games on PS3. Sony just needs to work out the user interface and feature details which is very possible.
I strongly believe Sony can pull off a good Network. I see no issues with being able to create a smooth lag free experience with Heavenly sword online. If those online number of players are right, it even looks conservative for a PS3...
Microsoft lost millions because of large hardware failures and having to put some money aside to cover millions of 3 year extended warranty.
Sony still does not have a machine at the $399 price range Microsoft doesn't need a price the drop.
And they would be stupid to drop the price after the financial disaster that is "Red Rings of Death. Basically this hardware failure thing just was the final nail in the coffin for gaining any advantage coming out a year...
its possible that there could have been more than reported. Just enough to get a new game console (if he doesn't have one yet), TV, whatever. If some criminal hears the kid turned it in to the cops but the amount announced is off by a few hundred dollars, the criminal isn't about to correct the police and its not worth the risk of messing with the kid for a measly few hundred bucks - especially with the cops hot on the trail looking for where the money originated from.
If it w...
So if HD DVD is propriety, how is this any different than Blu-ray. First answer usually is some Sony hate comment.
The fact is most of these HD DVD articles are just Sony bashing. If you hate Sony so much by another blu-ray player from another manufacturer.
These HD DVD articles turn out to be Sony bashing the comments and even the articles sound immature and ignorant.
It doesn't matter which HD disc is more Proprietary than another. If it has the s...
Do you want to buy a HiDef movie player that has only one exclusive maker (Universal) or do you want one that has several. If Universal never goes Blu-ray, I can handle upscaling DVD versions of One Studio than several.
Face it, HD DVD is a joke. I remember the same thing happening to Betamax and Betamax was obviously better than the VCR and you didn't need some tech site to notice the difference. HD DVD isn't any better than Blu-ray picture and sound quality wise is about eve...
Microsoft blew their year lead by making a cheap product. Supposedly by now Micrsoft should have been in a position to really put pressure on Sony with a possible price drop.
Now Microsoft can't afford to really play the price war game because they need all the capital they can get to cover for the high hardware failure rate of their console.
Its good to leave while your career performance was at a high among the xbox 360 community. At least at EA, its not like h...
They showed it running right next to a PC running at the same resolution and frame rate and it was indistinguishable. The spoke person for Epic said they still got a couple months of development left. He almost hint the Epic will attempt to to replicate the same experience on the PS3 running at 1080p but of course it was more of a hint that they will try but no guarantees. Said the only thing PC had on the PS3 is more higher resolution choices. Course 1080p is plenty even for the DX10 world...
Do you think it is possible they could get it right on the PS3 which is a lot more challenging code wise.
I say one less reason to own an xbox 360. This is one of the few games I actually enjoyed on the xbox franchise.
This video favored 2k8 but I don't see much different graphically except that the contrast was higher. In my opinion, the football players seem more alive/real movement wise. I like the idea of creating my team using past all-stars.
If 2K holds true to having great play mechanics I won't have to look any further. Not that I have - look that is. I haven't bought a Madden game since Madden 2005 because after playing 2006 and 2007 a few times on my buddies xbox 360 - I passed.

Most of the time, games either have to have a flowing story or just massively impress graphically or both. Sony has found a way to sell consoles by building on the concept that was Steal Battalion.
Create a game that is fun but doesn't have to be next gen graphics, doesn't even have to have incredible flowing story/plot. The one thing it does have to have is uniqueness.
I believe this is where LBP will achieve. I doubt this type of game can be turned into a gen...
