People don't submerge their entire PC in mineral water or apply for a license to handle liquid nitrogen to get an extra FPS boost in Doom 3. They OC cause they can. Cause it's fun. Don't mistake the PC world purely competition: there's some fun to be had yet.
Uhh... "Conflict: Desert Storm"? 4 player co-op that was released on PS2, Xbox? You should look that up. It's a good game, personally experienced.
I would love to see a sequel to Haze, well above Timesplitters 4. While Timesplitters is a great game, Haze still has potential. The game might've been average at best, but the story is interesting enough to really achieve that unique gritty-FPS feeling that begs the question on war morality.
For one thing, Mantel Corp. has alot of potential as an antagonist and a protagonist.
Motion Plus should've came earlier. Like at launch. As much as I would love to play Red Steel 2 seeing as how the 1st one was good for me and had potential, too little, too late. I'll see what Sony has cooking up because I didn't pay $1200 to play games 480p.
I agree to a certain extent.
Fanboyism goes both ways. 360 fanboys are just as bad as PS3 fanboys. Trying to justify one side is already being biased and fanboyish. I thought that Simpsons skit had nothing to do with console bias, but the mainstream media's take on gaming culture: which is poorly represented when the world thinks that gaming culture is just Halo and Teabagging.
C'mon, it's Sakaguchi! The dude that basically gave definition to what RPGs were then, and now. It's not about 360 fanboyism, it's just that RPG gamers like me respect the old-ones and knows that stuff he puts out is good stuff. Especially when a good size chunk of Mistwalker is former Square Employees. If it's any kind of fanboyism, it's "game fanboyism" -you know, the kind this-gen has forgotten when they love a piece of plastic more than the games themselves.
Just pl...
...now starting at $199. =D
If Apple sold iPhones for actually $200, then I'd buy it. And none of that "$200 only with a signed up contract" bull****. Hell, the lower they can make the iPhone, the better it is for me.
Every game sounds good after a price drop. EVERY GAME.
I know my explanation is a double-edged sword, but one has to pick a side and stick with it. I myself can't find the way to balance fanboyism with practicality. I'm all for people expressing their passion and love as pride is very cool in making games. However when that pride turns to hubris, what then? Will games still stand for the art created by their artisans(developers) or go the way of an industrialized complex(EA) fueled by supply-n-demand?(oversaturatio n of FPSs on the game market) ...
Perhaps you're right. Believe me when I say it, but I find it hard to avoid generalizing/stereotyping. Especially here on N4G.
I'm insecure about the nature of what a gamer does anymore. Do gamers spend more time on message boards professing their love for their consoles or do they spend more time playing the actual games/console they profess to love?
And you can cross-burn me if you want, but I see the Sony side spending more time on message boards than actually playing their PS3. It makes me, as a PS3 owner, look bad because I can assure you I can proudly accept the good and bad things of my PS3 and ye...
This is why I own both a PS3 and a 360 and a Gaming PC. I get the best of every world and I poke fun at poor people who wrap their jealously in the name of "console pride". That saying above says it best.
On-Topic: I like both games, but I give the edge to Halo 3 just cause of more variety like vehicles and split-screen. I can't play KZ2 in the same room with friends after all. The way I see it, at a party, it'll always be Halo 3 that gets played more often than KZ2 because no one wants to shell out $400 +$60 for a game that might not even be that great because there's no split-screen in KZ2.
Bring it on Sony fanboys, I said it. Your game isn't the GOD game, but it's still a very ...
Really? I'm always under the impression that all Sony fans care about are sales, the metacritic scoers, and the NPD numbers. Like Al Gore supporters before them, the Sony fans count every single console sold and hype the NPD numbers whenever it's a positive month for Sony.
True, but by putting developers under pressure, it'll encourage the developers to try hard out of pride and bring out a great game. Who doesn't love a little competition here and there, especially in the end: it's the gamers who win.
Sure under-appreciated games get crushed under the "killer hype", but it's playing with fire that I approve of. In the name of competition and innovation.
Oh get a sense of humor! That was clearly LOL!
I really hope it's not going to be 1200MS. Out of a 1600MS card, 1200 leaves little else to use other than throw-away DLC.
That's business for you. Can't blame Square-Enix for choosing not to do it. But in prospect, the green side gets to enjoy FFXIII just as much as the black side does. Gamers do indeed win. I just hope that multiplatform development doesn't compromise the final product cause then everyone loses.
Although Kitase's aftermention of a "hinted demo download" sounds mighty fine to me. Who knows? I know I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to charge for the demo.
