That's a crappity crap list of games.
Sega has lost it's hardware development capabilities. Apple doesn't have game development capabilities. Regardless, the market is too saturated for 4 competitors. Whatever they come up with, it's just not likely to be profitable. Sure, adult gamers are nostalgic about Sega, but young gamers couldn't care less.
Fans of those games are now fans of other consoles, and probably have greater platform loyalty to Sony, Nintendo, and MS at this point.
Also, notice how this press release is still calling Move, Arc, something that's been known for quite a while now. Not only is probably fake, it's uninformed about major industry news.
Something about that review makes me feel like the person who reviewed it is more of an FPS, TPS fan, than an RPG fan. He seems to be downplaying the RPG elements, while focusing on gunplay and graphics. Personally, I couldn't care less about the graphics, and RPG shooters generally have less than stellar gunplay, but as long as it's not terrible, I know I'll enjoy it.
Microsoft was declared the winner of these press conferences by the media because members of the media actually had the opportunity to go to the press conferences and get wowed by the ridiculous spectacle that MS puts on.
Sony is declared the winner by the masses because we didn't get bamboozled by the showy MS conferences, we just got to see what the announcements were. Since Sony actually announces new exclusive games, while Microsoft just parades celebrities and dooda...
Project Natal is not a product name. Project obviously indicates that it's a project. Natal means birth, and has nothing to do with the gaming industry at all or with what the product is.
It's only been advertised as Project Natal to the hardcore gaming community that follows this type of stuff. The casual public, to whom their trying to sell this thing hasn't heard much about it, and they'll pronounce it incorrectly and think that it has something to do with...
Anything over one million sold puts a game in the 90th percentile. Also, a 91 on metacritic can only be gotten by more than a few stellar reviews.
Many already believe it's the best FPS ever. What makes a game the best ever is a personal opinion, not some sort of public consensus. In the very least, Killzone 2 is popular enough and well enough crafted for one to have very good precedent arguing that it's among the best if not the best. Quit trying to trash it just be...
Yes
Except that anyone who can do math knows that the max price will more likely be $100 for a controller and a camera, plus $50 for each controller, bringing that total to no more than $250 for four controllers. Since you only need 1 controller to play, you only have to spend $100, and that's if you don't already have a PSeye. Plus, that's not including deals, or the possibility that the controllers will actually be less than $50 (which is a real possibility considering that the tech...
even if the graphics are compromised somewhat for the sake of 3D, that doesn't mean that their resolution won't be HD quality. There's still a lot of untapped power in the PS3. Not only that, but 3D isn't quite as hard as you think, it's more or less just shifting the image a little to the left and blocking the left image from the right eye and right image from the left eye. The only real processing issue is running at 120fps, but the game doesn't have to render at tho...
There really wasn't much doubt that this game would be a GOTY contender before the IGN review. This is Nintendo's most important franchise, and they treat it well. Most people never get tired of Mario, I certainly don't, and Nintendo always introduce new elements to the platforming genre with every iteration. I just don't see why you seem so upset about it, the current gen "console war" has always been an HD system war, and Wii has always been the outlier, so members...
What I think you really are getting at is that Valve, I feel, are better game makers than they are programmers. They're very smart about implementing different ideas in their games, but he tech that they use isn't the best or highest quality. Left 4 Dead is the perfect example of this. L4D is nothing more than half life 2, but with a different story, setting and a zombie mechanic. The same is basically true of Portal as well. Valve is really a one-hit wonder, they just figured out how...
Except the PS3 is no more closed of a platform than the Xbox, yet as far as computer operating systems are concerned, Macs have more restrictive licensing policies than their competitors. He was really just talking out of his ass, because he can't admit that his programmers still don't know what to do with the cell.
A. The fact that this game is not an exclusive has a huge impact on the validity of your argument. PS3 owners have always held that multiplatform games on PS3 have been either held back by the 360, or completely gimped because of cheap porting jobs done by developers. This isn't a new line of argument, it has been completely consistent since the beginning of this generation. You can't pretend like you didn't know that was exactly what would happen, because it's exactly what ha...
I never once bashed Alan Wake or any Xbox game for being SubHD. If you read my post correctly, you'll see that I believe a SubHD game can look better than an HD game. E.g., I believe AW looks better than RDR. My point was that regardless of whether or not it's HD or subHD, Xbox has not produced a game with the graphical prowess of many of the PS3 exclusives. Good thing graphics aren't what matter, gameplay is! Which I said like 4 times in my post. It's not about fanboyism, it&...
All the Xbox fans said that AW would be the best game graphically since real world, actual in your face sliced bread. No one ever came close to claiming anything of the sort about Red Dead Redemption for either PS3 or Xbox. We all knew it was a multiplat, so we all knew it wasn't going to be graphics king on any system. Even if it is SubHD on PS3, there are sub HD games on Xbox that have better graphics (AW being one such). This game is running on the same engine as GTA IV, that game got ...
Exactly, because that's what everyone expects from 360...
I wouldn't be suprised if it is SubHD for PS3 because, guess what, it's not an EXCLUSIVE.
This game looks absolutely AMAZINGLY fun, but it's not a graphics beast. Even if it is HD on 360, it doesn't look that great. This game isn't about graphics, it's about gameplay and story. The difference here is that with UC2 and AW, everyone and their mother was saying that the graphic...
Can anybody say... Little Big Smash Bros?
Don't know how it would work, but sony has been trying to recreate Nintendo classics under the Play, Create, Share header, so I think it's a possibility.
No one had to pay $100,000 plus to set up a PS3 array, and since such an array isn't connected to the playstation network, it should still work. If you have that kind of money to spend on a supercomputer, why not buy an actual super computer instead of a videogame console? Sony never marketed the PS3 as a supercomputer, it marketed the system as a gaming system, with a unique feature which turned out to be detrimental to their business plan on a number of levels. Sony never wanted PS3'...
R*, a bigger studio, is doing an exclusive in the Genre which they are the definitive developer in.
Crytek, known really only for their amazing graphics are doing an exclusive on Xbox (so graphics won't be the show case), in a genre that they've never before developed a game in.
Granted, I'd love to see this, or any, game come to PS3, especially given that the engine is multiplatform, but it's also not something I'm going to get heartbroke...
