This is just freaking awesome.
And slutty by both Squaresoft and Nintendo.
But awesome all the same.
I don't know if I'm right or not... I just know what works for me. As you mentioned, you don't even have to leave your home to buy this game. But seeing as how you are going to be downloading a rather large game, you can probably get to a game store, buy a game and return home in the same amount of time it would take for the game to download to your PS3. Are we really THAT pressed for time?
But I certainly understand how you feel. It's a kneejerk term that people recognize instantly. Calling the PS3, X-Box 360 and Wii "current-gen" just doesn't have the same kind of hipness as "next-gen". It's just media and marketing now. :p
The PS2's install base and current steady sales just goes to show that last-gen isn't dead just yet. Anyways, it's all preference. Just a little something that gets under my skin.
Hell, I'm definately not in...
I think that I'm just an old fashioned guy, but I really don't see why distributing a console game online only is a good thing. Doesn't that really just alienate those people who don't have online capabilities for their PS3, or people who want to bring their game to a friend's house to play? Or is it even one of those kinds of games? Is there any single player version at all?
Not only that, but what happens when you want this game, but there's not enough space left on your hard...
Oh, there's certainly no need to appologize - I understand the reasoning behind it all, and it works well. It's just that on a personal stance I'm tired of seeing "next gen" all over the place. The meaning of the phrase is lost, and it has now become just a media keyword, in my eyes. For instance, look at your own reply to me - you mentioned next-gen and last-gen games, instead of current-gen and last-gen.
But then again, I'm also the kind of person who goes off on t...
Whilst I'm certainly impressed by all of the offerings on that list, I could do without the "the next-gen is here" propaganda. We're in the current gen. We've been in it for over a year. The term is getting very old and very pointless and I think it's about time it got dropped.
It sounds like you'll be able to pick and choose what you want to display in your "room".
If you want a free education through college, it is most certainly not going to be "free". We will pay with either increased taxes, mandatory civil service for a couple of years, or in some other fashion. (For example, I believe that Norway has free college, but you're also required to put in two years of military service or civil service once you hit a certain age.) Besides, if you give something to people for free, it tends to mean less to them, and thus, they won't have much of a...
It doesn't really matter if Sony begged Kotaku not to post this rumor - journalists generally don't have those sort of ethical standards. If it comes to giving people information, or hiding that information, then a journalist - a good journalist - should always err on the former, regardless of outcome.
While I certainly have no love for the PS3, I think that the idea of this "PS3 Home" thing, having customizable avatars in a room with items unlocked through playing PS3 games, has potential. Kind of a "best of both worlds" scenario. It sounds more like Sony would be improving upon Nintendo and Microsofts ideas, not strictly copying.
I thought that Nintendo and its consoles were always being berated for their reliance upon first-party games. Has Sony figured out that such strong first-party games are perfectly acceptable?
While that looked incredibly awesome, I'm curious to know what the Wiimote functionality is going to be, as it seemed, from the video, that the nunchuck was doing all of the shooting and maneuvering.
I'm fairly certain that his gaming obsession led to his obesity, which then led to his failing health after attempting this stunt.
As the above commenter stated, this guy is probably in the running for the Darwin Awards, and with good reason, too.
Well, seeing as how the current PS3s in Japan and North America are priced relatively the same as the soon to be released PAL PS3s (taking the inevitable country swapping 20% or so markup), these newer PS3s with the emulation vice Emotion Engine are not being priced lower. I'm just curious as to why, if the console is different, that the price remains the same.
Heh, that makes more sense now, yes. :)
Do you agree or disagree with THAMMER1? He's saying that this is an issue of parental responsibility (something which I'm surprised that I agree with THAMMER1 about, myself), while your final sentence said that you "...hate everything ...being blamed for parents negligence."
But yeah, these people piss me off as well. That's the same kind of mentality that managed to get a theater operator to change his marquee for "The Vagina Monologues" to "The Hoo-ha...
Of course it's not appropriate - that's the point of the gag.
And there sure is a lot going on in that picture, if you've got an active (and perverse) imagination!
"Such a removal would help bring down costs for the system."
While this may have been announced a year ago, I don't see how adding emulation and then tacking on an absurdly higher price to the PAL market meets the above statement taken from your transcript.
The Elder Scrolls series used to be exclusive to the PC market, up until Bethesda came out with the Morrowind GOTY edition for the X-Box, lest you forget. :)
While I certainly don't deny that this very well could be a hoax, I'm of the mind that "Mushroom Kingdom Hearts" was simply made by the writer of the article as a silly title to grab attention.
