"Microsoft has lost its ability to twist arms, and now it is going to die."
Yeah I never saw any quotes of M$ admitting Vista is a failure, -lol, I think the truth is that Vista isn't a neccessity and you need a upgraded PC to run it properly. XP pretty much gets the job done for the majority everyday users....only users planning on running high spec games really want Vista...but for the Inquirer and M$ haters of course if it isn't an instant success that can only m...
If we are going to complain about costs then the whole industry is milking us here and there, but I will say before we judge too harshly we have to know what the facts are about what these companies spend on R&D, licenses, etc. Remember these companies start off in the red by selling consoles at a loss....which most business/companies don't do....and first its funny cause they talk about how much money both M$ and Sony are losing, but then they say we're being "ripped off" at ...
and it would be nice if the 360 itself was cheaper, if the PS3 was cheaper, if the official 360 racing wheel I just bought was cheaper, hell it would be nice if a night at the movies and popcorn were cheaper....but its not. -The funny thing is I don't NEED any of these things, but I CHOSE to pay for them all because I figured I would enjoy them enough that they would end up being worthy of the cost.
-Now Deep, whats even funnier is that despite what I just said Iam fully awa...
Yes that is a great point, attatch rates for the PS2 will be smaller because of the sheer volume of PS2 owners (or should I say units sold since theres no accurate way to tell how many have been brought by previous owners -don't take that comment as bashing but its true for any good product that's been out for awhile 7,8 yrs), but as far as the attatch rates go its a simple fix....just look at total sales for any particular game.....360 games sell amazingly well compared to ANY console. 360 ...
This game looks sweet, SK with the help of IGN have definitely made a huge comeback, these guys are definitely showing their talent now. The more I hear and SEE about this game the more kick@ss I think the whole story and gameplay looks. SK just tell me when I can get my copy!
You guys need to chill out, voting disagree just because he asked a question and a logical one at that -lmfao, wow fanboys! Anyway yeah, if I'll wait 2 wks if thats what takes (no choice, right?)....either way my copy is preordered and whenever its finished I'll be playing Forza 2!
XBL is great and I definitely have gotten my noney's worth, but I do think this article makes alot of sense, things CHANGE and I think M$ should at least throw Gold members(those who pay) a few bones. Honestly I like what Live has to offer and the fact that M$ has a solid online strategy for dev's to create games, -which does cost money. I give this guy credit because he does offer some reasonable suggestions. -I think if enough 360 owners ask for these added incentives, M$ just might hear...
.....Phoenix FOR-ZA Win!!
Yeah, I know people love to play their old games from time to time so this is great....but I'm not really the nostalgic type, its crazy too since I have so many xbox 1 games, but I guess the real problem is when I crank up my 360 half the time I'm trying to beat a 360 game I own and haven't beat yet or I'm trying to get another damm achievement, but who knows maybe one day I'll get that nostalgic feeling....right now I'm getting pissed trying to find all of Crackdowns hidden orbs, matter a fa...
I don't pretend that I know it all, I'm just saying there are other ideas about what's possible....we can disagree but with the facts available I'm not going to limit myself to one point of view, surely that doesn't imply that I'm 12 yrs old or a Klutz....actually kids are more likely to call names when they disagree with somebody, you say:
"YOU RAN OUT OF FRIGGIN SPACE - SO DAMN WELL INCREASE THE SPACE ON THE STORAGE MEDIUM YA KLUTZ"
-If all researcher...
Yeah it does look like it has potential to be alot of fun, but honestly I was expecting more from this title at this point.
That vid was cool, that was some nice animation this guy definitely has talent. I won't tell you guys what I was thinking at the end...lets just say I feel "dirty" now. -lol
Seriously I don't get this one from Sony. I definitely thought this was an area where they gave the consumer a better choice than M$ did, making the HDD non-proprietary and the whole reason its better is because you could upgrade your HDD at anytime with any cheap 2.5 SATA HDD....so why would they need to offer a PS3 with a larger HDD at all?...yes you may need more HDD space in the future but you can easily buy one on the mass market and install it....their reasoning why they "might&qu...
I appreciate the logical response, I'm glad you at least took the time to look at the links and at least acknowledge there are some alternatives/solutions that might allow dev's to create larger games besides just having a larger media format. I'm not here waving a M$ flag, and saying Sony sucks but the article asks a simple question, so I'm just pointing out info thats revelant to the discussion.....the reader can judge the info/facts for themselves. Also I do understand that this hasn't b...
very informative response to my #42.1 post and link, but I already agreed and everyone knows the whole point of compression is to save space, I was hoping to get your thoughts on the compression techniques .....yes they compressed the content you see in that link, but the point is the realtime HD footage which has very detailed textures and great audio is only 318 KB in this vid: http://www.gametrailers.com...
I never insulted you, I'm just pointing out contradictory info, we don't have to agree....but why does it bother you so much that there might be other alternatives to Blu-ray that will produce next gen games just as good. Also I don't understand your point when you say that saying if they need to put a game on 1 or 2 disc's then that means they needed more space....yes you are right, but my point is whats the real difference in the end result to the user, which is what is the difference betw...
I'm not going to argue that more space is always a plus, but I will say as I've said before that Blu-ray is NOT needed for games anytime soon. I say let the evidence speak for itself and until we see "huge" 30 level, surpassing Gears type graphic quality, with amazingly new "audio" on Blu-ray, that can't be done on 1, 2 DVD9's....everything else is just ALL talk, hmmm...where have I heard all these claims before? oh thats right for a whole yr prior to PS3 launch, Sony an...
I had know idea I won a prize until now. That's pretty cool and I have to say thanks to all the members out there who voted to let me speak. I LOVE YOU GUYS. [crying] -lol, but seriously I do appreciate it, this site had already become my favorite videogame site for awhile and now I feel like I and MANY OF MY FELLOW MEMBERS have made this site one of the best on the net. Congrats N4G and all the members who find the time to contribute and continue to make this site GREAT!
Thanks, Mart I'll check out that wheel. Shaka2k6 you commented just to caution us that most of these games will "flop" and most of them are FPS', uhm did you even bother to look at the list? -it seems your knowledge of these games is extremely limited, (sigh) nevermind. -Envy creates bitterness. BTW, although its not going to be a actual finished game release, I think its worth mentioning that Halo3 Beta will suck up a good portion of 360 Gamer's time; at least for about a month...
You obviously hate M$ but yet you are always posting on 360 news....if you feel so cheated by M$ and you don't like what the 360 has to offer its simple don't support them by not buying anymore of their products; why does it bother you so much that some of us are actually happy with our purchase? -Oh, but I forgot you are the Noble Gamer, who's only purpose here (and in every other 360 related thread) soley because you want to save all of us poor naive Gamers from being "tricked" b...
