WAAH WAAH. Sony must have paid off the developer to make the PS3 version better. WAAH WAAH. I'm going to whine and complain until Sony stops throwing money around and starts innovating. WAAH. I'm an inconsolable little b*tch that Sony will never satisfy, even if they paid me a billion dollars.
...ahem...
Sound familiar?
No, I don't hear about Microsoft getting sued over this anymore. Because Microsoft paid a f*ck load of money to replace EVERY xbox that RRoDs over 3 years. You can act like a pissy scorned consumer and throw a fit, but Microsoft put out $1 billion (that's "B"illion) to cover this. That kinda puts a hole in any class-action settlement.
It's like they already settled with the consumers without them having to get sued. Geez, you would think people would be a little mor...
Well, ain't you an asshole. No, seriously. Do you tell the person in-front of you in-line "Time is money". Do you race everyone on the freeway because "Time is money" and by getting somewhere faster, you make yourself superior?
Something tells me you just took an economics class in college. They probably told you not to clip coupons because it's not worth your economic time. Do you work 24 hours a day? Think how much money you could make if you didn't sl...
Hey, it's Microsoft's pile of money to burn. If you really want to get a working 360 AND stick it to Microsoft, get the thing replaced. Don't you think this replacement program is expensive? They budgeted over $1,000,000,000 to deal with the extended warranty. If you want Microsoft to get their just deserts, let them keep buying you a new Xbox.
Better yet, get a replacement warranty at Best Buy. They usually replace them same day at the customer service counter. And recentl...
Desperation? What if their so-called desperation wins? That's what we call a stra-te-gy. Calling this desperation is just wishful thinking.
Don't complain to Microsoft... complain to Sony for not opening their checkbooks and countering Microsoft's cash.
And what is this "get out of the industry"? You would rather have nothing than see Xbox players get something cool? What a d*ck.
Call Microsoft and get a repair. I really don't have a lot of sympathy for whiners after seeing how much money Microsoft spent to back their 3 year warranty.
One BILLION dollars. $1,000,000,000. That's class-action suit-sized cash without the class-action suit!
Agreed, but the on-board storage (or included memory card in older packages) makes it a logically complete, functional system.
But MS should have done a MUCH better job with hard drives instead of this screwy proprietary scheme. Why can't we save games on USB or use our own drives? It's a little stupid.
You are still ignoring that the PS3 has multiplatform games that didn't appear on the 360 list.
I'm not complaining about the sale, but I am complaining you singled the 360 out for something the PS3 was just as guilty of.
Or you could just say that 360 has proportionally more games instead of trying to paint that as a negative for 360. Most of the multiplatform games there are on both platforms, and I see plenty of multiplats on PS3 that curiously don't show up on 360's list...
The next generation gimmick will be a combination of Quick Time Events and Bullet Time. Use Bullet time to actively script a sequence of actions that would otherwise be difficult to execute in real time. The game then calculates that sequence into a difficulty rating, hams up the animation. Then, the game replays the sequence you recorded in cinematic glory, prompting you with the QTE reactions at a difficulty relative to the complexity of what you scripted.
The deal is that y...
He makes a good point about Sony, despite being HHG. Sony could use a yank on the ego leash. But before you disagree with me, realize they will be better in the long run for it.
Not likely! Most realistic graphics techniques don't come from huge textures, but from math formulas (shaders) that model lighting and texture. In reality, most techniques are more graphics hardware intensive than disk space intensive. They TELL the graphics processor how to operate, instead of presenting a pre-rendered texture.
In other words, Blu-ray is not much use for actual game content. What is DOES do well is 1080p cutscenes, but at that point, we should be asking why ...
*sigh*
Thank goodness Bush isn't in the white house anymore. Because if he was, he would back the PS3 fanbase as a faith-based initiative.
FPS on the Wii, to date, has been a huge letdown. As long as we are turning with the pointer, games like this will feel awkward. Just give me a mouse or a controller and I'm happy.
I don't really care about Infamous. I've seen it already, and while it look competent, it doesn't seem compelling. But I just want to see how they make MAG work. No matter how much power the PS3 allegedly has, you can only fit so much through a broadband connection.
@Theoneneo81: There are some high quality 3rd party versions for 360 that are smaller, if that's what irritates you. Also, XCM makes some controller adapters to use PS3 controllers on 360, if that's more your speed.
Of course you must be talking about Microsoft's "bribes". It just shows you how ignorant of the situation you are that you are touting the "traitor" line.
Please Sqenidos, I don't want to see you as a total douchebag, but if you start acting like one, I'll have to reply in kind.
Oh, Harley Quinn would be awesome.
On a related note, you can make a Harley Quinn-ish character in Soul Calibur 4 with Tara.
