Microsoft will bundle Natal with something like Halo: H.O.M.O. and the kids will buy millions of them.
This video nails exactly why Natal can't be taken seriously, and I'm not surprised the bots are afraid to hit the play button. Deep down inside they know Natal is just a gimmick that was slapped together to compete with something Sony has been developing before the Wii. Microsoft you are too late to the party yet again, I hope you have some more money bags.
Week recap: PS3 does everything; Xbox 360=fail; Wii lame
I don't know about this...
Think about the xbox user. How do they possibly limit the speed of the Playstation online play to give the xbox user who has suffered with lag in almost every game a fair chance? It wouldn't be fair. Also, I don't want to deal with the little homo kids on xbox live, it's the reason why I sold my 360. You feel like you are in a suit playing in a sandbox in an elementary school yard. It's pathetic.
Please leave the online PS3 experience stric...
A large amount of the content on the disc is comprised of core assets required to play the game, not only that, you have characters/enemies/assets/envi ronments/sounds/etc. that are used in multiple sections throughout the game.
This means that this content that is absolutely needed for the game, will need to be placed on every disc. So the estimate of the loss of data in the article is an understatement. The inferior 360 version will lose a lot more.
"but when I got my copy on the PS3 it looked much nicer than what I had been shown before. "
Because these website don't use proper settings for their captures, which results in more website hits from fanboys.
The PS3 version never looks anything near what they display in these bullshots.
Um, Microsoft are known for making some of the worst software ever released. Have you ever heard of Windows? More specifically Windows Vista?
Oh no... I used the V word. You have to love the new ads: "Windows 7, it was my idea!". They are already shifting the blame.
Not to mention, the XMB is a million times better than the 360s dashboard mess. Navigating the dashboard with the d-pad is another mess on to itself. The XMB is clean and smooth, you always know...
The first game was dull and largely uninspiring. The gameplay mechanics were pretty bad, and some parts of that game looked very very ugly graphically.
It wouldn't make my list, not even close.
"Yet, outside of Japan, people just prefer the 360"
Not since the PS3 launched. Unfortunately for your claims Sony has been outselling the 360 consistently in every part of the world, even the US.
And as a matter of fact, the US is the only place the 360 still manages to compete with the PS3. The PS3 is killing in sales everywhere, not just Japan.
Man that koolaid you guys got with your xbox must have been pretty potent.
The 360 awards are mostly multi-platform. The 360 "exclusives" couldn't even win many 360-only awards. Such a pathetic lineup.
It's funny that the virgins always play the "get laid" card. The only tits you have ever felt were your own kid.
Maybe when you grow up you will find out that the business world isn't all bubbles and cotton candy. Unless your parents carry you the rest of your life. Microsoft's tactics are well documented, this isn't hypothetical. Do some research if you think Microsoft is some almighty company that turns into an orphanage at night and hands out money bags to the poor. ...
Fishy is correct.
360 values must equal 1,000
PS3 values must equal 950-1,050
According to the design team for the project I'm working on. It's probably a TCR/TRC requirement.
So how long from now do you guys think Microsoft is going to admit defeat and jump to their next flopbox? We all know they are going to quit, and the fanbabies are going to pretend like the generation is over and that Microsoft won, completely overlooking the year/year and a half head start.
They are so predictable.
Using Uncharted 1 or 2 in the same sentence as Alan Wake, in a graphics discussion is the biggest fail possible. The only way that is any where near logical would be in the following context:
"Uncharted looks years ahead of Alan Wake in graphics and every other area of gaming".
Please don't compare Alan Vaporware to GOTY. Alan Wake looked dated years ago. Soon you guys are going to realize that Microsoft has built a system on hype, and has never offered any ounce ...
Well then get a petition going for Microsoft to update the dated technology in the 360, that way titles as incredible as this one can be ported over without being limited. Until then, the serious developers are going to stay exclusive to the platform that can give them the greatest technological edge... obviously the PS3.
Forza 3 is an arcade style racer, where it forgets real life physics, and tries to go more cartoony. GT5 on the other hand is a pure racing simulator. Everything it does is pure realism.
You can't really compare the two.
The shadow to the guard at the start of the video seemed off. I'm guessing "shadow thief", it would make sense with Black Mask in the game.
The L4D2 petitions had nothing to do with a quick sequel. When L4D was released the game was incredibly lacking. Valve promised extra character, weapons, and levels as free DLC. A lot of people bought the game under those expectations.
That DLC was never released, instead a sequel was planned which was essentially the original L4D plus the DLC that people were promised. Except L4D2 had a full price tag. People were pissed that Valve expected people to pay the full price of 2 game...
If Solid Snake isn't a primary character, it can't be a "Solid" game. The moneybag Microsoft dropped on them probably had a fine print telling them they had to put "Solid" in the title. That's why Kojima has been so adamant about the fact that Snake is not in it and how it isn't truly a "Solid" game.
Unfortunately since it will be on the 360, the PS3 game can't use the full potential of the PS3. Oh well, too many PS3 exclusives to buy before this one...
HAHHAHAHA, ALAN WAKE?
You have got to be kidding me. Just because the game has taken 10 years, and is borderline vaporware, doesn't mean it is highly anticipated. Granted, xbots do not have many options when it comes to the 360 pathetic game library, but Alan Wake looks like a game made years ago (dated, since the technology hasn't aged well), has simple boring gameplay mechanics, and it is just outright forgettable.
