Im sure the installation will be only core files, I highly doubt it took 10 minutes to install a 7GB game onto a harddrive. That seems way to fast. I imagine it being around half the size for every game which isn't bad.
I thought they had their first profitable year...Last Year
Guys Nintendo has turned so greedy that its blindly just shelling out Hardware with no games to back it up. Its making insane profits on shelling out overpriced hardware and doesn't spend money on developing Software.
Just more add-ons for consumers to buy!
Good for Square Enix bad for Sony
This decision while rude since apparently Bungie didn't get the memo will only benefit them more since they will prob get a more focused stage for their 3 Halo games. Halo Wars, Halo Peter Jackson, and Halo 4 or Halo prequel.
The nexFlix is an addition to the video market place. They said having this nexflix deal nearly doubled their movie offering in 1 day. This is huge and makes me wonder whats taking the PSN so long. Sony freaking owns so many studios they should be overflowing with content...
Guys, its a smart move and it further solidifies Microsofts domination this holiday.
Its simple guys, Nintendo makes their money on Hardware, Sony and Microsoft make theirs on both Hardware and Software being the primary cash cow.
I swear NIntendo Fanboys are so blind and abused, I would start a huge boycott on Nintendo. They make you purchase overpriced equipment then release no games on them. They need to release games like Mario, Zelda, and Metroid and allow them on Real consoles. Such a waste...
Might be upgrades to the Bungie website related to better tracking for stats but I hope its something related to game announcements. Not to take anything away from Microsofts conference but it was definitely geared toward mainstream audience.
Guys, This will succeed. There is nothing wrong with taking an idea and making it better. This is how everything gets done. There is no super human being creating all these ideas.
lol, After seeing the video it kinda seems like they took some good ideas from Little Planet which is great!
Looks good, Xbox definitively needs more platformers.
Looks stunning, Cant wait to use the 9800GX2 on this badboy!
Why do people defend the Wii so much, How do you not feel ripped off and cheated for buying into the whole propaganda Nintendo spoon fed people. The "Toy" not a console is overrated. Amazing games like Zelda and Mario should be on true next-gen consoles. Imagine Hideo Kojima stuck with a PS2 or a Wii to deliver his vision for what he felt was a true conclusion to Metal Gear Solid. It would have been impossible.
I feel developers are so confined with the Wii that they ...
Just like the Wii, Wii Fit is all hype. Nothing Nintendo has done this generation has been ground breaking or innovative. They took a simple concept, Motion controls. Dumbed it down into a toy and overpriced it, calling it a Wii.
The only good games, 1st party. Zelda, Mario could have been done on the GameCube without the motion. Its not even synced up with the users movement. Its just jestering motion controls. One action resemebles the real action and creates a reaction. Its BS...
Its not about the bragging rights of having a waggle type controller. Its creating new ways for people to interface with games. The more accessible it is the more mainstream it will be.
The Wii is fine in this regard but to me seems more like a cool concept, dumbed down to the general public(mostly the easy influenced Americans) and sold at a huge mark up. The Wii fit is the same way. Seems fishy that 65% of Americans are overweight and instead of doing a skateboard game or snow...
Why haven't the Wii owners realized they are getting ripped off from the start anyway. $250 for last gen tech with wireless motion controls is seriously over priced and should have been $150 from the start.
I mean the xbox360 is $280 now, why would you get one...
Ya its very different, For starters its going to be a hell of alot more fun and thats really all that matters. GTA4 is a real life simulator. I dont give a sh!t about dating, going to shows and all the other boring stuff that I dont want to do IN A VIDEO GAME!!!!!
Just go with online storage, Partnered with google or something and call it day. Wii sucks anyway at $250 bucks its a huge ripp off and completely not worth it considering a Xbox 360 is $280. Wii good to entertain mothers and fathers.
You guys all bring up valid points, Microsoft should encode all multi-disk games(RPGs, maybe Forza 3) so that you can install 1 disk and have another one in the drive for example.
Piracy cannot be stopped so the worry of keygens and such should be if anything more protection since it gives pirates even more things to crack.
For Vic B, Having to delete items shouldn't be that cumbersome. Xbox Live remembers what you purchased and is a short download away. Yes Xbox dropped the ball...
