i'm not 10 years old here, wowsauce.
do you think i don't know what GDC is about.
maybe i wasn't clear in my post, but the fact of the matter is that Sony used GDC to kill quite a few birds with one stone.
1. they announced two new games for the PS3.
2. these announcements also served to highlight for developers the unique direction Sony wanted to take the PS3 (ie, Home showcased their commitment to bringing a unified online community to gam...
to see the X Box fanboys on the defensive these days.
when Playstation 3 fans defended games like Heavenly Sword (great game, by the way, just too short), they were torn to shreds, and i'm seeing a lot of the same arguments that were levied in favor of Heavenly Sword used to defend Too Human now.
it's so funny how what goes around comes around.
anyway, on topic, i love Silicon Knights (Eternal Darkness, and The Twin Snakes were great!), and i'm still loo...
but Sony's Gamer's Day is coming soon anyway, so i expect them to have announcements there, building hype for E3.
Insomniac also has a presentation tomorrow or Friday, i can't remember, and the Eat, Sleep, Play people have a panel also.
in either case, i'm about as pumped as i can get for owning a PS3 with all the awesome exclusive games hitting throughout the year, i don't know if my heart could take anymore surprise announcments (well, just a few more, like what Te...
Take back the $50 Million you spent on exclusive GTAIV content, and use that money to start up another three or four development studios.
i don't think i was the only person disappointed with your GDC showing, and while i don't think it was *CRAP, it absolutely *PALED in comparison to what Sony did at GDC last year, which was get developers excited about developing again, *AND getting people excited about the PS3 again.
Sony has managed to keep that momentum going wi...
*WHAT other games were there on the 360 during that first year for Halo-starved 360 owners to show off on their new 360 *EXCEPT Gears of War?
lol. nice try at spinning that, but the truth of the matter is that the MGS franchise is *HUGE, and will continue to be huge, especially as MGS4 is Hideo Kojima's "final" Metal Gear. expect sales to go through the roof.
what do you *EXPECT him to say.
just like i expect those that work for Sony to say "dur, the Playstation 3 is better than the X Box 360."
it's a given. why does this story have so many posts? (our course, i have now contributed to the foolishness...)
i was genuinely interested in hearing what he had to say.
for some reason, i was expecting him to be more subdued in his swearing and on point during his GDC press conference.
i mean, cursing and swearing aside, the guy knows games.
anybody who had a hand in making Mickey Mania and Twisted Metal back in the day, not to mention the incredible God of War, is worth listening too a little bit.
and of course, there's all the fun "Drunken Jaf...
the 360 fanboys (ie, wageslave and PoG) must be quite dizzy from all the spinning they've been doing in this thread.
just get over it, guys.
the 360 as a piece of hardware, is crap. period.
my roomate's 360 died on him (not Red Ring related), and he bought a new one. he eventually fixed his old one, and sold me the new one (or so he says...). another friend of mine had his die on him too (due to a Red Ring).
the PS3, on the other hand, is bu...
it's about time the haters (in the media, and gamers at large), understand that.
they were right about the PS1
they were right about the PS2
they were right about the PSP (35+ million in three years isn't bad by a long shot)
they were right about the PS3
nobody wants to give credit where credit is due, and try to pawn off Sony's expertly played business maneuvers to "shortages?" f*cking pathetic, people.
facts are facts. only ...
my roommate is a manager at Gamestop, and he told me about this last night, then i get up, and i see this story on N4G.
boy does *THAT suck!
i'm glad i backed Blu Ray!
(forgive my smugness, but after TWO YEARS of complete *REAMING from HD DVD fanboys and PS3 haters, i think me, and my fellow PS3 fans are welcome to a little gloating. it's been absolute *HORROR for a PS3 fan to show his/her face on the net since E3 2006)
Resistance apparently also had this lipsyncing thing in multi-player. that's pretty cool.
could LBP get any cuter?
i may have to go to the dentist after this game is released...
i changed the datefrom 2000 to 2007, and i replaced "Playstation 2" with "Playstation 3," and "Dreamcast," with "X Box 360," and "Sega," with "Microsoft." you know, just for fun.
"Oct. 27, 2007 | Whether or not Sony was sincere in its claim that a supply crisis led it to cut its initial shipments of the PlayStation3 to just 500,000 units, there's little question that the corporation was successful in the arena of hy...
why people doubt Sony's business decisions after 11 years is beyond me.
they've been in the consumer electronics business for 60 years, and the gaming industry for 11+.
they were right about putting CDs into the PS1, they were right about putting DVDs into the PS2, i mean, damn guys, *HISTORY should have at *LEAST afforded them the benefit of the doubt about putting Blu Ray into the PS3.
i hate to be little, and even petty, but i think it's completely ju...
there are *TWO main reasons why digital distribution won't become mainstream anytime soon (as in, the next 5-10 years):
1. BANDWIDTH - the simple truth of the matter is that bandwidth on the scale that it would need to be to bring digital distribution to the *MASSES just isn't enough right now. and the larger bandwidth services are way too expensive for the average joe and jane to afford. when i worked at Obsidian, we used the T1 internet service (or whatever it's called). it was...
hell, i beat Ultimate Spider-Man, a *SANDBOX game, in four hours.
Heavenly Sword had all the ingredients of a AAA game:
Graphics: the graphics of Heavenly Sword were amazing, and the facial and motion capture animation is still the best in the industry (and i'm the guy who thinks Uncharted is the best-looking console game released this generation so far, but the facial animation isn't quite up their with Heavenly Sword). even though the environments are linear, the *...
PLAYSTATION 3 FANS won the format wars.
Sony owes us big time for this.
thankfully, games like Killzone 2, Little Big Planet, Infamous, White Knight Story, MGS4, FFXIII, FF Versus XIII, LA Noire, Heavy Rain, Motorstorm 2, Gran Turismo 5, and Resistance 2 are very nice "thank yous."
i'll take those anyday.
is that Achievements *DON'T make a game better.
yes, people enjoy them, and i'm aware of that (my fiance loves them, for example), but the point is that many a PS3 game has been demerited because of "Achievements."
many times, a reviewer has recommended the 360 version of an equally enjoyable game (ie, Call of Duty 4) because of "Achievements" when, for a certain audience, that doesn't effect the fun of the game in *ANY way.

teh porn supports HD DVD
HD DVD is cheaper
Microsoft is backing HD DVD
HD DVD has Universal and Paramount
people respond to the name HD DVD
lol.
anyone with a working brain new this format was over the moment Sony said that they were putting Blu Ray players in the Playstation 3 (me and my roommate have been saying that for over two years now, and boy did we get reamed in forums because of it).
if i was a spiteful fellow, i'd hunt ...
that is all.
just admit it, guys: the controls were terrible.
i bought Lair day one. played it all week, finally beat it.
i enjoyed the motion controls, to be honest, but they were not, by a long shot "perfect."
controlling the dragon is simple enough, and the most fun. dashing is also a lot of fun to do, but when you start getting into the more complicated tasks like doing 180s, attacking enemies, and pulling off the motion based combos, it gets sloppy. <...
