You say Japan doens't buy Xbox because its a POS.....remember, the world doens't buy PS3 (including Japan).
They buy the Wii, oh, and quite a few 360s....so lets try and squash the fanboy bug before it gets the best of you :)
try 2 years old at least...shoot, gamersyde mirrored it in december 2005!!! ( http://www.gamersyde.com/ne... ) I'd be surprised it the game isn't looking and running just a wee bit better now.
...so if MS put full 360 games (or xbox 1 games) for 20-40 bucks on Arcade it would be as good as PSN?
Warhawk is great, but thats just an example of putting a full game (4 times the price of anything on Arcade). Arcade is just for that - arcade games. Says so in the title.
Why download Wipeout HD? just go pick up an old Wipeout disc at at a gamestore for 5 bucks. And GT 5 Prolouge sounds alot like charging for a demo (granted a big demo) to me.
...
...but that is the goofiest article/post I've read in a long time, and whoever referred it to N4G should be slapped. The author is claiming that Lair (averaging 61% on Gamerankings.com and 58 on Metacritic.com) ushers in the Golden Age of PS3 gaming? Har. And then he backs this up by listing 5 of these "AAA" titles that will make PS3 the real deal. Only problem with this argument? Besides Heavenly Sword, the remaining 4 titles (Medal of Honor: Airborne, Guitar Hero III, Assasins Cre...
...why you gotta go all fanboy already like that? Well, since you went there, please allow me to retort:
1. Can we call this game Gears of Resistance? What a mashup - gears aesthetic with Resistance pace and size...
2. Another brown game for the brown console - lets compare - PS3: Resistance, Lair, Warhawk, Motorstorm, KZ2 (yeah, Heavenly Sword has a color! Orange!!!). 360: Halo 3, BioShock, Mass Effect - my HDTV displays more than one color? Wow!
...
You should probably read the parenthesis as "for example" - the config ini file says "Console ([for example] XBox360, PS3) specific settings". Why has no one asked why console settings are included in a PC .ini file anyway? That text likely should not be there at all, so why would you believe that the "PS3" part should be there? It probably comes from a template, and the engineer failed to delete it - I work in software development, happens all the time....
Do little hit independent films kill summer blockbusters? No. Will never happen. Sure the Wii might cut into some sales - mainly those more casual gamers who would have been stuck with more machine than they needed (360 PS3), until the Wii arrived. Funny thing is, the Wii will likely create more market for high end, "hardcore" gaming rigs. Many of those who never played games will pick up the Wii, get into gaming, and then outgrow the Wii's simplicity. In a couple years, non-gamers,...
....and no surprise, they look like games and not the early videos/"screenshots" /concept renders.
Video quality aside, you can already tell that the graphics in this game are no where near what was hinted at in early "screens". Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it looks bad at all. I just have realistic expectations. Lots of daydreaming fanboys gonna be sad when they find out that they bought into a lie about what these games were gonna look like (motorst...
Then trade in your old system, and with the money you save buy a couple hundred bucks worth of games :)
...you're funny. You own a PS3 right? Why'd you buy it? Every game on the PS3's Spring release list (save for Lair and Calling All Cars - an arcade title) have been out for the 360 for months? On the other board (about the PS3 spring titles) you say "MY PS3 is still looking like the better deal so far." Fact of the matter is, based on IGN's lists, you paid alot of extra scratch to play old 360 games. Hope you enjoy it :)
*PS3 releases - original, i.e. out for PS3 not ...
I've been playing the beta. Granted its a little rough (unfinished art, some missing animations, etc.), but the gameplay itself is pretty diverse. I think it will be fast and addictive like Counterstrike, with a bit more strategy due to how the purchasing, magic, and different races work (you buy spells just like you do guns and technology). Some have complained that the graphics are bad. They are not bad at all. Just because a game's graphics aren't as detailed as Gears of War does not make ...
I'm a fan too, but such games more frequently than not disappoint. Much like the Star Wars prequel trilogy failed to capture the spirit of the original trilogy. Games like this cannot often recreate the magic of the first. The reason is, your perspective, your perception of the experience shapes it. You are not who you were when you played the first one, you are much older. You made the experience of the first one special. And, despite the game nailing the essence of the first, or even reinvi...
...I will say this though. I have a 360 (love it) and have mocked PS3 thus far. Not because I'm a fanboy, but becasue I feel its deserved it. However, this game could finally be the one that interests me in picking up that PS3 (shouldn't be hard, there's plenty of them on shelves - I keed, I keed). Anyway, the reason why this game is going to rawk so hard is because it shares a lot in common with Gears of War (the reason why every PS3 fanboy should want a 360). Not that they are alike in game...
Value
Customer Satisfaction
the TRUTH
Unless the devs magically captured the exact same images as the 360 screenshots they released months and months ago....the only way they could do that is if they were "posed" - in which case, they aren't screenshots...
...Red Octane are a charitable organization, not a business. Didn't you know that?
Sheesh, I'm really getting sick of people complaining about companies trying to sell their products. You do know that they are in business to make money, right? Besides, if they didn't make this stuff available you'd all be complaining that they didn't offer anything.
Why would Bethesda go back and update a year + old game that has already sold millions of copies on 360 and PC? For a few new gamers who may not have played it yet? That makes a lot of fiscal sense - Conan, your keen understanding of the business indicates that you must be the head of a major software developer.
Also, he doesn't even begin to suggest that neither the PC or 360 are capable of what the PS3 version accomplishes. The fact of the matter is, a developer has to "...
...but am I looking at the same screens that GaMr and PtsTeen are looking at? It doesn't look bad, but I'm not exactly blown away either.
Now, don't start yelling about how its early in development. I know that. But if someone can get excited about the graphics then I can be indifferent.
To these eyes, certainly not graphics that show what the PS3 is supposedly capable of...
...but why is everyone so excited about this game? Just the promise of the E3 CGI trailer? Although I'll admit I never played the first one on PS2, It was almost universally rated as mediocre (Avg 73% on gamerankings.com) and as far as I know didn't even sell all that well (sold fine, but not like Halo 3, GOW, or GTA numbers - multi-millions of copies).
If Halo CE and Halo 2 were rated an average of 7 on a scale of 10 would everyone be so excited about Halo 3?
I...
....there are 6 games on that list. Only half are exclusive. None are out yet (are there currently no great PS3 games at all?). We can't even know for certain that the games on this list will even make 2008 (always a chance for a delay). We also HAVE NO IDEA IF THEY ARE ANY GOOD OR NOT!!!! So how are these must haves?!! Remember LAIR (abysmal - avg 55% on metacritic) and Heavenly Sword (good, but not outstanding - avg 80% on metacritic) were supposed to be "killer apps". Why are we ...
