10 years ago, Squaresoft sold their souls to Sony with Playstation 1. What's your point?
A SMART SLUT if you ask me. That golddigger knows how to play the game. Can't blame Square-Enix for making business moves.
360 has bigger install base in America.
Microsoft wants you to make more money.
Microsoft's willing to pay you to make more money.
Sounds win-win in my business book, fanboys be damned.
*high five* for logic! But be careful. Fanboys like to eat bubbles to fill their delusional heads. Microsoft did what any business did. If you want to blame anyone: blame Square-Enix.
Money can buy people who have class to work for you, so by the transitive property....
Microsft + Money > People with class = Microsoft with class.
The fact that Microsoft can steal games from Sony for their 360 system already disproves your claim about class.
Poorly built console + great games from Sony devs = Cheap console with great games! There's a reason that 360 is in 2nd place despite their RRoD horrors.
Despite GG's obviously impressive talents, I'm saddened that they couldn't use their creative genius, collective effort, and vast resources to give us split-screen in the final build.
YES, I know that GG has said that they would have technical problems doing so.
YES, I know the graphics would take a hit otherwise.
YES, I know GG didn't promise us anything
Just a personal observation. I'm looking forward to more talented devs that can cater to my co-op/spl...
I don't think you're in a position to call anyone a moron. He knows more than you having the game in his hands and you don't. Anyways...I'm pretty sure the segment you're referring to is at 2:00-2:12 (3:12 is the end of the video and where they wrap it up)
I think the rigid shadows is a lack of the shadow map at that point. Usually, when you want to anchor and draw out the shadow pixels on the fly like that, you need an algorithm to tell the cubemap where to go. Rigid shadows lik...
At least the comments here are more sensible than usual. Microsoft did good, congrats to them. That is all. The 360 is so cheap now you can find one on Ebay for around $110. That's good!
I think $200 is the perfect spot. $300 is still out there. You'd be amazed what $100 difference will do to affect people's decision.
Really? After the Title Update and forwarding my ports when the game said I had "strict firewall settings". I've been having a seamless experience ever since.
Great Campaign (7-8 hours)
Great graphics(stellar even)
Very good Soundtrack
Very good Voice Acting
Decent Story. (I thought it was decent enough ok?)
2 player Split-screen (Co-op, Horde)
Full-HD Split-screen support (None of that black-bars crap)
Online Multiplayer
Horde Mode for 5 player coop.
LAN Support
Bot Support
1 year from now, I can see myself playing Gears 2 again with a friend just for kicks. I'm a big coopera...
Gears 2 > MGS4 (I'm joking, I love them both and couldn't pick only one, but let's not turn this into a pissing match between A and B.)
Also, I'm pretty sure that the word "Xbrat" is very close to "Xbot" which isn't allowed in the Gamer Zone. I'd check that.
EDIT: Xi got a disagree for stating facts? Guess someone needs a trip to the Open Zone.
Ok, um....so how's that DLC pack coming? I think that matters to me more as a Gamer than some numbers. But I guess fanboys get off on seeing those high numbers or low numbers, whatever.
nutz, great job on your post. You put thought into it and that's more than most people here do(although that nutz comment was really unnecessary). Just sit back and enjoy the games that we have now instead of worrying about the games in the future. You'll stress out less that way. A strong man doesn't need to read the future, he makes his own. =D
I do see the PS3 as lasting longer than the 360 just because I'm an advocate of advancing technology. But just because someone disagree...
The only thing the article said was that they got 2 review copies because one is older than the other and SCEA wants UGO to have the latest build in their hands for a review, so UGO now has to replay the 2nd disc just to make sure nothing major changed for the worse.
Half these comments are just downright retarded. Way to go fanboys. You just proved your ignorance and prejudice, once more.
It's weird huh?
When they give Killzone 2 that magic number 8. You bet you're going to give a damn. At least most of you here are.
yes plarkin, this news is like fanboy bait. Let the closet fanboys come. I hope 1UP (or whatever UGO wants to call em') does give Killzone 2 an 8 just to watch them squirm.
Like a "number" really mattered.
I spent my school years just playing the very first iteration of the series. Man, those were good times.
Dude, no wonder you have that many bubbles.
Well anyways, stop worrying about VG politics and play your damn games. The fact that you can't enjoy gaming with Microsoft in the business should indicate you have a problem of a sorts. Take some time off and enjoy some Motorstorm: Pacific Rift. I'm always looking for more people to school.
