...no where in the press release does it even say the word "exclusive". Beyond the obvious (EA and their multiplatform policy, etc.) don't forget there was a video of the Mercenaries Dev Team and they all had 360's at their desks - nah, they're not developing a 360 version - they just have really nice bosses that supply them with 360's to play while they are supposed to be working on a PS3 exclusive release...sure
...such a stinky cologne....
...I had a blast last night playing with my brother for 2.5 hours (the demo kicked us out twice, so we fired it back up again). Can't wait for the retail copy. I once thought it would be good fun and that Halo 3 beta code would be the selling point, but now I realize the game itself is the selling point and the Halo 3 beta code is just the icing on a delicious cake...
...when Sony stops making fools of themselves. By the way, I don't think its "Bashing" when someone pokes themselves in the eye and you laugh at their stupidity.
Although, I do want to thank you for calling us "360 users" as opposed to "fanboys". Mocking Sony isn't reserved for fanboy flamewars anymore, its GONE MAINSTREAM!!! Come one highps3, JOIN IN, ITS FUN!!! :)
People, just read the original source article on GamePro - don't read the misleading summary here, or the misleading "article" at 1pstart.com. I honestly don't think the "authors" on these sites even read the article either. All it says is at release, no multiplayer over live - which they spin into no LIVE support at all. Here is a quote from the original article:
"Through Xbox Live you'll now be able to download new themes for the Xbox 360 dashboard, p...
...Am I the only one who would be afraid to leave my child alone with this man? Everything in his demeanor and appearance screams "Child Molestor!!!".
I'm only partly kidding. Back in the 80's and 90's "the Reverend" Jesse Helms and his cronies were all about labeling art as "obscene" and banning pornography. A group of psychologists wrote an article about the extreme preoccupation these individuals seemed to have with porn. The psychologists basically...
...people who bring this up as an apology/defense for why PS3 graphics arent 200% better than 360 are rediculous.
If you've ever worked in any kind of software development, you'd know it doesn't matter. The fact is, both Epic and Insomniac have had their development environments for about the same amount of time. Time is the issue, not when a console "launched". In a similar amount of time, both developers gained a similar familiarity with each of their respective co...
just check the quote from Yukinori Kawauchi - its the same.
Did no one fail to realize that this story (posted on Digitalbattle.com and Jolt.co.uk) are recycled from a 18 month old story on www.gamesindustry.biz? that's what I hate about these blogs, you guys don't check your sources. You just lift a story from another site, who in turn lifted it from a third site, which recycled it from a forth site.
go see the original article from APRIL 2005!!!

...to bad even with WoW's 7 million players, the vast majority of gamers are not playing WoW (even though they could). What if you want to play a sports game? Is there going to be a Madden MMO? doubt it. I don't play MMOs becasue I don't like most people (at least not enough to spend time with them). I play on Xbox Live with a select group of real friends.
Besides, who says MMOs only work on PCs? I expect to try at least a couple in the 360's lifespan. And I'd still rather pay...
...Even I laughed at these games at first when I heard about the promotion - it seemed so dumb. Maybe marketers and advertisers sometimes know what they are doing. Sounds like the BK/XBOX cross promotion is working. the funny thing is, my friend scott got all three (guess he likes BK) and says they're actually pretty fun (he really likes Sneaking). I was also thinking the other day, they'd make great stocking-stuffers (4 bucks a piece? cheap!) for your 360 fanatic family members...
I'm not a fanboy one way or the other, I just hate lies and agendas. "Online Service Claims PS3 Stocks ‘Good’" - do you mean to say that you think that Sony is doing a good job of supplying PS3s for sale? Not in the least.

...Toys'R'Us has over 1400 stores worldwide - that's almost 4.3 units per store!!! Or if its limited to the U.S. alone, thats about 10 units per store (while the rest of the world is scrood) Woo hoo! I think everyone should go stand in line :). I'm sure it'll all work out and you'll get one.....
...but try and remember the spirit of these kinds of videos. The guys who made it got their start "glitching" Halo:CE - not becasue they thought it was a sucky game, but because they thought it was genius and wanted to keep playing it even after they had exhausted its intended gameplay. Same goes for these videos. The greatest QA/playtesting department in the world probably only consists of a hundred guys - so its no surprise what turns up in a game when 2 million people are "p...
Even more previous generation games I can finally NOT play on my 360. Sheesh, who has time. I've got 5 right now I'm trying to get to (Gears, Rainbow 6, Fear, COD3, Splinter Cell) - not to mention arcade titles. To be honest, I never did play Psychonauts, and would like to - but I'm afraid that ship has sailed....I've got Lost Planet coming in January, and it just gets worse (in a good way) from there....People really want to play old games that much?
...are those screens not as impressive as they were a year or so ago? I remember seeing the target render of the engine and thinking "AMAZING". But after playing Gears of War and seeing some of the games that are coming soon for both 360 and PS3, those same images don't seem to blow me away anymore. Not that its not impressive, it is, definately a top-tier graphics engine. But nothing beyond what really great developers are churning out right now.
Also, gotta agree w...
Not a fanboy here, but how do you know its going to be an awesome game? They've only ever released a couple screen caps and a target video of the engine...I don't think they've ever even mentioned what the story really is or what the gameplay will be like. Are you psychic?
They keep showing "the same track" because the whole game takes place in the same environment - only one variety of track - the desert. That's one way they kept the game looking as good as it does, limited assets to deal with (like a fighting game whose 10 arenas are all in the snow). Also, if I'm not mistaken, the number of vehicles is also very limited. I think the graphics look good, but no great. My biggest disappointment is the gameplay itself. I found it very dull and repetati...
...hope its actually from the game score and not just placeholder - really cool, reminds me (I'm 32 yrs.) of the great sci-fi boom of the 80s - Blade Runner - Outland - etc and those rythmic synth soundracks (Tangerine Dream, anyone?).
Bioware never lets me down, I cannot wait for this game. If this game is as expansive as KoTOR (and I think its much larger) and has real-time combat and squad tactics its going to be a huge undertaking (and an absolute blast!!!).
And ...
Glad i read all the posts before I did, because I was going to suggest the same thing. Blu-ray sales are up post christmas because PS3 early adopters have to have some way to justify their purchase/gift - and it surely isn't games. Remember, the UMD format was a big hit (according to Sony) back when there weren't any PSP games (course there still aren't many - but I digress). What happened to UMD? Its gone, baby, gone.
Not a hater or a flame-bater - I just call 'em like I see '...
