I'm not sure how people get the idea that game testing is fun, and rewarding. It is monotonous and boring. Why compete for that? Considering that it pays poorly (look how many game testers are credited in a game compared to other jobs) and is the lowest rung in the development ladder...
To his/her their own. Reality is NOT Grandma's Boy. :-/
Don't think your heavy handed insults go unnoticed. Your IQ has nothing to do with the type of game play you enjoy. I like FPS's, RPGs, and QTE games (Shenmue comes to mind). I do NOT like racing games or strategy games. Does this make me stupid? NO! Ignorance is bliss, isn't it?
Too bad the PS3 fanboys can't play Alan Wake on their high end PC's now (sarcasm).
Before anyone gets upset realize that all of PS3's exclusives never come to the PC either. Which company is doing a larger disservice to gamers as a whole?
There are guaranteed to be articles in the future titled: "PC gamers get screwed, blah blah." Why isn't Heavy Rain, Infamous, Killzone 2, etc, etc coming to the PC then?
Perhaps Microsoft has realized they ne...
The event is being held in San Fransisco in the afternoon. It will last 4 hours. Since I live east coast I'm expecting the news around 3-4 pm my time....right before I go to work :-/
I would post the link but N4G says: (!no html is allowed). Do they enforce this?
I hope Alan Wake lives up to the hype. I would like to see some unannounced and/or exclusive games. Microsoft needs to sell everyone on Project Natal.
It blows my mind why publishers can't decide on a universal box cover. European and Japanese box art is usually always superior in my opinion. North American box art (almost) ALWAYS has to show the good guys/girls, enemies, or both on the cover. The European Heavy Rain box art comes to mind...so much better.
On an related note- what is the best way to make a print off of box art from pdf format? Is there a particular type of gloss paper? I'm asking because the European boxart for...
Who doesn't have an LCD computer monitor? You can cheaply enjoy HD gaming on the 360 and PS3. You can find a Full HD LCD monitor with HDMI for as low as $250. For those that don't appreciate the visual fidelity offered by an HD display, or are too cheap, buy a Wii and don't complain about small text! :-/
Are you interested in the Perfect Dark HD update? I never got into Perfect Dark Zero but loved the original. Perhaps they have a sequel lined up. Its a great series after all. Mech Assault would be pretty sweet.
@ Kingdavid & Sakura- Where are you getting these made up numbers? The PS3 version sold the worst. You can confirm this with NPD or VGChartz. Give me a source.
360 version: http://www.vgchartz.com/gam...
1.31 million sold
PS3 version: http://www.vgchartz.com/gam...
.62 million sold
Why would you buy the game twice? It makes absolutely no sense. Same story. Same game. After playing the game 2-5 times, what is the point?
@mastiffchild- Here in the States Dead Space Extraction can be found for $30 US. Its been on sale for even lower.
I almost purchased this game. Instead I rented it. With that said, glad that I waited. I definitely won't pass up the opportunity to buy again.
I understand Saudi Arabia is not the only Middle Eastern country. Not my point.
You don't even try to deny my accusations of human rights abuses in the religion as a whole; you might as well tell me I'm right. Churches are allowed in the Middle East? Only if they have a permit and the Muslim population in the area vote for its construction. There are more mosques in Paris than Churches in all of Saudi Arabia. Kinda suspicious? Explain the numerous Church burnings in Egypt please....
Your statement is comparing apples to oranges. How can you compare a government to religion? Faulty logic. Also, it almost seems as though your trying to justify the act.
Soda is referring to "honor killing." It usually involves daughters disgracing the family by having premarital sex thereby giving the parents the right to kill the daughter.
Not every muslim kills their sister or daughter for talking to boys, however it is common enough. Even the legal sys...
The problem with the Middle East isn't a cultural issue but a religious one. Universal human rights have no meaning in any muslim dominated country. Womens rights, Gay/lesbian rights, freedom of speech/expression and religion are suppressed. Visit Saudi Arabia and you will see what I mean. The women must be covered head to toe and are not allowed to be seen in public. There is not a Church to be found...why? They don't allow them. Gay people? They hide, otherwise they would be flogged. This i...
Thanks for the mini-review, I'll have to give it a look.
@ tedyesca- A game is more than its font right? :-/
Personally I think Shenmue on the Dreamcast still looks better than Heavy Rain.
Case in point: useless comparison
I love how people believe this site wholesale. Does everyone suddenly speak German? Do both consoles in the comparison use HDMI? I wouldn't know because even if it did say, I wouldn't understand the parameters for the comparison. Lensoftruth has much better comparisons in their Head to Head articles...and they're in English! :-)
@Silly gameAr- maybe you should find a different hobby because gaming isn't cutting it for you. You feel compelled to visit n4g and complain about all th...
I resubscribed for $20 and am currently half-regretting it. I really appreciated the freebies...even come to expect them. Either way, its a great service. I only wish they could give away more than a free theme here or there.
Its hilarious how many people are coming to Sony's aide just because its Sony. It doesn't matter if other company's are guilty of the same. The article is about Heavy Rain and PS3. Lets not be sheep people. Sony isn't a person, or your best friend...only a company. Everyone should be outraged that they are demanding good reviews. Thats what the issue is. Lets not pretend otherwise.
To be honest, and in defense of MAG it seems that online only games have it rough. Shadowrun, Socom and MAG all seemed to have struggled to really garner a lot of attention. There seems to be a stigma in regards to online only games. In the beta, I had a lot of fun, so perhaps I'll pick it up in a month or two.
@ Morganfail- why does everyone have to agree with you or their wrong? Everyone has an opinion. Deal with it.
I think the greatest barrier to success for the Arc is the extra hardware needed and price. I don't have an Eye Toy, does that mean I'll be forced to buy both Arc and Eye Toy? This is pretty big barrier to entry for those looking for a new experience. Its also significant there is more hardware required to play... Natal has the advantage because most people are looking f...
