Ditto. I preordered it because the original release date was my daughter's birthday. She's gonna be bummed... LBP has been an amazing bonding experience for her and I.
I cherish that game.
They didn't invent ANY of the stuff you've cited the 3DS tech included (hint: it's manufactured and developed by another big Japanese company). So: If mass marketing existing technology using economies of scale is original then yeah, Nintendo is original. Great. So they're original. Sweet. Big f*cking whoop so is every other manufacturer on the planet.
Their software and GPU hardware still sucks like it's 1999 because they insist on selling gimmicky hardwa...
For you guys who think somehow Nintendo is being amazingly inventive and that the 3DS display is somehow "their" technology. FYI, the 3DS uses a display that employs a technique called a "parallax barrier" which allows each eye to see a different image.
This tech is not new and it wasn't invented by Nintendo, it's currently deployed in a number of places already (medical image, high end vehicle nav systems (i.e. 2010 Range Rover) and Sharp manufac...
Honestly, I do not give a rat's a** about 3D especially in a handheld. If it's doable and doesn't jack the cost up, sure, awesome. But it's not a deal breaker. First and foremost the PSP2 needs to be a cutting edge powerhouse in terms of GFX/CPU and CONTROLs. Things like: Touchscreen, dual analog, HDMI output port, PS2 compatibility would all get me more excited than some novelty accelerometer parallax shifting gimmick.
Agreed. How much is a two year *contract* on the 3DS? How much is the monthly data plan fee?
In the US most people have cell phones and they are all locked to a particular carrier (example iPhone==AT&T) and the hardware is subsidized with a multi-year contract.
I have an Android cell phone and two year contract right now, my carrier is locked in with an employee discount via my employer, too. If Sony were to release a PSP phone I'd probably skip it at...
I think lame blogs that can't form a grammatically correct headline are "worst". /sarcasm
But, seriously, expensive DLC is lame but charging for unlocks of on-disc DLC when games retail for $60 is like *robbery*.
This "hits" one sounds like a hockey game to me unless SS4 has sticks in it.
Finally! Someone's working on a military-genre FPS! I've been saying that someone should make a game like that... I bet it'd be a big seller! LOL.
If the theory is correct it'll stand up to scrutiny regardless of the credentials of the person who posited it, in fact theories are MEANT to be challenged and tested... That's how science *works*, numbskull. Saying the guy is atuomatically "right" just because "he has a PhD from MIT" is a logical fallacy (called argument from authority) and is incredibly stupid. In short, you're a moron for arguing this way.
That said, I agree. Buttons are irr...
"Japan is behind, but it's because of multiple reasons. They don't have as many companies with huge development teams like EA, Activision, and Ubisoft. The only one that's even close is Capcom and maybe Namco. "
You seem to not know the difference between a publisher and a studio. Makes me wonder about the rest of your comments.
@rwarner174:
I believe that you're sincere, but I'm having trouble envisioning sports champions' table tennis being 'awesome' because, well, here in the real world, where everything is fully 3D and we have 100% accurate motion controls, table tennis is sort of gay. :)
That's sort of how I felt about Wii bowling when I played it. At first it was like, "This is amazingly cool" and then after we got it back from best buy and had in the h...
Can't blame them for trying to avoid the 'osborne effect' especially with as long a lead team as this thing probably has left and with the PSP-3xxx units selling like crazy in Japan.
@solidjun5: It's fairly easy... you can go to any printing place and get a vinyl sticker printed for just about any graphic you can display on your PC.
Meh... MAG wasn't even a complete game when it released, IMHO, so I'd hardly call them scrambling to redo the thing a major achievement.
MAG 1.x felt more like a tech demo/extended beta. That's why the initial user base left in droves. It was unpolished, unbalanced, had insufficient clan support, had no training mode or documentation to speak of (so SL's and CO's were completely incompetent), the GFX were undistinguished, the maps lacked variety and were l...
Are you seriously so poor that you can't afford to save $200 for a product that likely won't be available for 12months or more? That's less than $20 a month. You need to log off N4G and get a job.
Ghost of Sparta will PWN!
And other devs aren't? What are you retarded?
Maybe they're trying to appeal to the hitherto untapped "potential-Terrorist-but- still-a-gaming-enthusiast" market? Nothing's more American than capitalism, right? :)
I have to admit, I was hating on MOH a few weeks back when looking at the MP vids and after playing the MP beta, this looks a lot better/more strategic than what I saw in the beta...
Also, this looks like it could have an amazing single player campaign which would be refreshing. KZ2 was the last shooter I bothered completing in SP mode.
I impulsively preordered this way in advance so I'm pretty psyched to see it looking like it can bring some awesome in t...
You can tell who the fanboys who just want to have flame wars are... They only talk about console exclusives. This has been a hell of a year for consoles, you guys are retarded.
