There will always be a distinction between folks who play Farmville or Angry Birds to kill time during mundane parts of their daily life, and the folks that take time out their mundane life to play videogames daily.
The only thing i could potentially imagine ending the console era is the rise of cloud gaming. And even that concept is too new to appeal to people who are used to traditional consoles and PC's.
My prediction is that consoles are here to ...
Wow what a lucky guy! I'd say that playing any videogame co-op with my wife would be the best gaming experience of my life... but alas, she only digs kinect and wii games :(
on topic: Haven't played GOW3 yet, but I'm planning on picking it up once I finish Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
I'm still not sure how firing in bursts and firing in full-auto yeilds the same recoil and spread?
wouldn't you think that single shots and bursts would be more accurate? (as they were in BC2)
Metro 2033 had such a creepy atmosphere that I ususally wouldn't play it if it was dark and I was alone in my apartment!
completely off topic: Love you're avatar.. Christina Hendricks.. mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
She is the Reason I began watching "Mad Men"... (well, plus I wanted to see Aaron Staton not be Cole Phelps for once too)
bubbles for clear thinking and projected logic. Uncommon on this website.
I'm torn because I also have it preoredered for 360 as that's where most of my friends are (plus I cant do FPS's with the reversed trigger controls on the ps3--I need the big triggers for guns and the little bumper buttons for grenades, not vice-versa). Unfortunately for me it looks as though the Ps3 version looks better..
And before someone asks, NO. I'm not b...
I remember back in july CVG or joystick had an article about how people who had purchased the MoH:LE back last fall had recieved emails from DICE that showed the BF3 cover art and said something like "you're spot on the battlefield is reserved...stay tuned for details."
AND regarding the MoH disc issue: I've read 2 news articles on N4G this week and last which both have conflicting info... one article said that you WILL need the MoH disc for early access,...
I LOVED the Condemned games.. The first one was one gem of a launch title for the 360! And the second one is waaay improved and has a much better combat mechanic!
RE: Uncharted 2... did anyone else NOT think it was weird when Lazaravich drank the blue potion at the end and gained superhuman power? I thought that was fairly straightfoward. we were led to believe that there was something special about that blue resin from the very beginning of the game...the heist mission...
Hey wait, this says that we DO NOT NEED THE MoH DISC for early access?? I am confused.. didn't we jsut see an article on here that says you WILL NEED the MoH disc for the beta??
I still haven't recieved my email from DICE that my spot's reserevd for buying MoH and registering my online pass with the PSN :(
Anyone know how I can get into the open beta if I don't get early access?
The userbase on this website doesn't know jack sh*t about anything do they? I can't believe you are actually even on agrees/disagrees for stating that Videogame pioneering didn't start with the Ps3 and the 360. That's a well known fact to anyone who wasn't born after Y2K. I can actually remember when Nintedo was on the verge of developing a prototype "virtual reality" console in the late 80's early 90's.. I think i still have that issue of "Ninten...

Not sure why I feel the need to respond to your trolling, but you obviously don't own an xbox. If you did, you would realize that MOST mutiplat releases look better on 360, with the exception of the mutiplats where studios use the ps3 as the lead development platform (like LA Noire.. that looks miles better on playstation because they used it as a lead platform in creating the game, then ported it to other platforms). The place where the Ps3 really shines graphica...
is it me or does the boyfriend look like he has down's syndrome? Maybe it's just the picture..
What about "online Passes" and that sort of thing? It's killing the pre-owned games market and, honestly, I ain't no millionaire.. so I've got some pretty great deals on trading and buying used.
I think Online passes is definitley one of the worst things to come about this generation
The footnote at the end of the article mentions that the author based the hands-on preview from the Ps3 version.. does that mean the screenshots included are also from the Ps3 version?? They look REALLY good!
Either way, I'm hoping that this author was just being overly critical about the single player campaign. Like everyone else, I too am looking most forward to the MP in BF3, but I'm one of those folks that LOVES a good, LONG, immersive, and well written SP camp...
Not really worried about that stuff.. All i'm waiting for is PEACE WALKER!!! I never owned a PSP and that's the only MGS game I've never played!! can't wait
2 or 3 years ago I would've agreed that the BF series was not a threat to CoD franchise. But you have to keep in mind that a game that has experienced such viral popularity over the years (such as CoD), became that popular because "everybody" plays it. So it's fanbase has grown from where it started (true or "harcore" gamers) to where it has now exploded into casual gaming.
"Someone played it at a friends house and bought a console just for ...
I would say it would be better to do a full reboot of some older classic games on new/current gen hardware. When I say "reboot" I mean re-development of a classic title, including gameplay mechanics and story cutscenes. Kinda like what kojima did with MGS: Twin Snakes on Gamecube. That was just a completely re-developed version of the original MGS from ps1. New HD shiny graphics are a nice way to re-live a classic game that you always loved, but having it re-created and re-imagined...
A little worried, but not terribly worried. I think Bad Co 2 looked great on the xbox, even though people disagree with me. I know DICE is using their newest engine on BF3 and thus, it should outshine BC2 graphically. Just the fact that KMT just kind of beat around the bush in this article made me worry a little...
Heavy rifle is good, but I think the best gun in that game for taking down tougher enemies is the upgraded revolver. Already really powerful, but once you buy the explosive ammo upgrade you've basically got a really accurate grenade launcher. One hit kills for heavy armored troops.
