Steam's success lies in its social features (and it's sale prices) while not being cumbersome with DRM.
Some people will only buy a game if it has steam integration because they like the features steam offers and prefer everything being in one hub instead of using something like xfire. Kinda weird, but shows how the image of DRM can be turned around from a negative into a positive.
There's people that are waiting/hoping for Minecraft to come to st...
Try reading point #1 on the article.
Same goes for you Warprincess.
That being said, well written article. Good stuff.
Hmm... I'm guessing there'll be an SDK for it on the PC?
The invisibility thing seems like it could induce some rage...
I'm guessing it includes all the 95 year olds that play wii sports?
:D
^ You do realize that the "10/10 Game..." part is an actual quote from Fox_Mulder, right?
The 'padding with info' isn't a fanboy response either since some people believe that will deter pirates.
There's already been an article about KZ3's size and padded info was seen as a positive. http://n4g.com/news/684962/...

Your mom would be proud.
:D
All shooters aren't linear; most are.
Crysis and Stalker are two examples I can think of.
That being said, Brandon's criticism was that the video didn't show anything innovative. Hence why the rhetoric 'Do we really need another...'.
Saying that all other shooters are linear too doesn't really answer his concern.
Anyways, Killzone3 seems to be more about giving a polished and cinematic experience rather than an innovati...
Haha, "I'm sorry I didn't build you a stronger ship."
Awesome. :D
.... because all lawsuits by a multi-million company end in them winning? O.o
Why have a walk-through when you got that thing that shows the waypoint to where you need to go?
It's not like the older games where the game expected you to figure out that you had to go into a town, find a refrigerator, push it half a mile into a ravine, and then use it as a stepping stone to proceed. =/
He's gotta be hacking.

Hah. :D
Saw it on TV during an NHL game. =/
... Amnesia isn't a console game.
... No russian dancing men in the background.
=(
I was wondering who it was targeted at too.
If it was the mature gamers, then there's many games that my mom would hate much more than DeadSpace.
DS mostly offers gore, and virtual gore are that... it just isn't anything that serious compared to say, GTA, Mafia or even Kane&Lynch.
It kinda felt like an insult...
Most moms wouldn't want their children playing any M-rated game... so, what's the ad's point? O.o

It simply has to out-do the competition, which means it has to offer something better than most of the other FPS games being released this year. A tough task.
It's been selling well in the past since it hasn't had any real competitor for the genre. In 2010, EA finally started to take notice with BC2, MoH and Vietnam. This year, Brink, Battlefield3, Crysis2 and perhaps even Homefront should provide some competition, along with Killzone3/Gears3.
I'll agree w...
Urgh, some of those nominations weren't so.... meh, who cares.
They take jokes seriously.
Hence why Kotick sits on the roost.
^ Well, having a control setup that you're more comfortable with would actually make you better.
Though if expensive peripherals like this get made, then it's going to make online FPS matches an unbalanced affair.
Personally, I find games running at 30fps being more of an barrier on console FPS games than the actual controls.

In that case, one of us has eye problems.
I watched the video, it was mostly run-n-spray. Didn't see any real camping.
BadCompany2, TF2 and Reach are different MP shooter experiences. CoD is simply mindless fun, you run around and shoot things that move. The amount of camping in CoD is on the same level as other games, if not actually less.
As for innovation; Perks, level-up system, killcams, and killstreaks are some of the few eleme...
