This price cut could very well virtually retire the ps2 imo. It also wouldn't suprise me to see the 360 start to outsell the Wii in NA. As far as eating into ps3 sales who knows. But I garuntee there will be alot of ps3 owners that will become ps3&360 owners starting Sept 7.
I don't know, ps3 software sales are lacking. I imagine that they would have to get those on the rise before cutting price anymore. Or they could strip the ps3 of all it's bells & whistles, which would be odd considering their new sku's.
I don't think you guys will have to worry about that happening. I wouldn't be suprised if the 360 starts outselling the Wii in NA. MS just needs to advertise the prices.
I believe ole Bullettoothtony just dropped in to plug sony. Poor guy, he's probably an emotional trainwreck.
I think it would go in Sony's Trophy Case with Lair, Haze, Motorflop, Flop: Drake's Fortune, Ratchet & Clank: Flop of Destruction, Resistance: Flop of Man, and Heavenly Flop.
And maybe IGN & 1up should actually touch the controller as well before saying the game is spectacular.
Yeah, these sites might be talking it up now (which is common in early previews). If this game is indeed qte based, the reviews will not be good.
I'm an older gamer, and I can tell you straight up that I think QTE based "games" suck worse than any other type of game I've played. Actually, I don't even consider them games. I think slightly interactive video is a better description.
It seems the people here are quick to take offense to something they don't understand. Sure God of War handles it's qte reasonably, that's because you can count the number of them on your fingers. These kids need to go play through Dragon's Lair and Sewer Shark, and then see if they see what we already know about Heavy Rain. And like you mentioned earlier this isn't innovative nowadays. It's actually taking the easy way out. Now back in the days when console games looked like this-
I agree with this guy. I have never played a QTE game that didn't end up being a repetitive trial and error slogfest. It gets very old, very fast.
And to the people thinking this "game" is going to revolutionize the industry. QTE games have been around since 1983, and you don't see any devs choosing to make these games more than once every 10 years or so. Why? Because they can barely be classified as a game, and more importantly, they suck a**. But if you haven't play...
I imagine the hands-on will also be called an eye's-on, because you don't play this game, you watch it.
I thought it was a bit underwhelming. I guess there were a couple of announcements that casuals and young teens might be impressed by, but nothing I care about.
For using the trademark name of my penis.
If the whole game is like the video, then you sony idiots had better not hype this one. Every game based solely on the structure shown in this video has flopped hard. And all of them had a visually video presentation, just like this. If you are smart, you will wait to celebrate until more details are given out. Or you could be setting yourself up for another Lair/Haze scenario.
edit- Scratch that, I just read the lead designers description of the game. Yep, it's a flopper.
I agree it will probably bomb, because games like this have never been very good. If I remember correctly Dragon's Lair was the first, and Sewer Sharks for Sega-CD came later. Neither of which were worth a sh*t. There is no such thing as gameplay in titles like this, it's just scripted pre-recorded cutsceens that you watch and try to hit the "next" button quick enough. But dude let the Sony population hype this like they have so many terds in the past, it makes for good fun when a g...
Sony kids
Jenzo that was simple, but very effective.
The 360 controller already has a longer battery life than ps3's controllers. There is no need to change that. And what is this mythical fuzz that you are trying to produce from your troll bag?
DarkSniper is using his alternate account Dragunov to beg for bubbles.
lol, what are you strapped for cash or something? As far as gaming is concerned the 360 is worth more than the Ps3.
