...EA would have had more time with it too...
...its not an MMO
...but does anyone actually think this will be out in the "launch window" (whatever that means exactly)? I'm thinking X-mas 2007 at the earliest - anyone have any solid info otherwise?
Instead of lowering the price of the device to one commensurate to its value, lets package it up with some throw-away crap nobody would ever want! Course they can give away 1GB memory sticks, because they know that will never be enough memory and you'll be dropping another 200 bucks for a 4 Gig stick in no time anyway...
Old news or not, everyone should watch any vid with Jade Raymond in it - she's the cutest girl in videogames.
Loved her as a correspondent on Electric Playground (though she seemed awkward and not very eloquent or confident on there). At some point she got her act together and now she's a big shot at EA - beauty and brains - noice!
...but can't say I agree, 8 is too many. Like chatting in the Halo 2 lobby - just too many voices to have a coherent conversation.
'sides, I don't even have 8 xbox live friends on which I am on speaking terms :) - but that's a personal problem.
..then you'd have no reason to by the Mylo...
"why give you the milk for free when they can sell you the cow"
...are you really trying to compare an IM device to a portable digital music player? That's like saying Sony's Bravia TV is much better styled that the Honda Accord....apples and oranges buddy. By the way, did you get your Sony royalty check this month?
Though to be fair, the source article is the one who mentions Zune as a competitor for this product - which is stupid on their part. My cell phone plays music and video, does that make it a competitor of the PSP? Dont' think so...
...because gamers often rely on reviews, and we have a established some standards for games, like 12-15 hours for a shooter (at least), and dozens if not up to 100 hours for an RPG. Take prey for example, everyone knew it was on the short side (but not as short as early reports - took me like 10 hours). If developers start axing content, people will find out the game is too short and not buy it - then they'll have no reason to buy extra content - the devs will have killed the golden goose.
with PS2, PSP, Xbox 360, and Wii as well?
First of all, an ad for PS3 programmers has nothing to do with Cryteks plans for the 360 - lets leave the news to what it is and not try and extrapolate limited information into an indictment of one console or another. Secondly, you'll likely not see a lot of ads for "360 programmers" because MS's toolset for development is absolutely brilliant (as I understand it) and makes porting a peice of cake (didn't they show a build of Warhammer Online on 360 at E3 and said it only took a fe...
Yeah - that's a great name, its not even a pod....shoot, if the thing holds as much music as an ipod, has a nice user interface, has a decent music store - PLUS all of the music is compatible with my 360 and it is wireless, then I'll definately be getting one of these instead of another ipod...
Although its nice to hear these games will appear at TGS in one form or another (I would bet many will be trailers), are there really any surprises on that list?
Its almost like when people feign surprise and excitement when David Jaffe "hints" at GoW3...no really? You work for SoE and have a mega hit game - if you don't make a 3rd one, you won't have a job anymore - someone else will do it. It would be like Jason Jones at Bungie refusing to make Halo 3 - aint gonna ...
Let's not forget the reason EA got the LoTR franchise from both the Tolkien estate and from New Line Cinema - they paid handsomely for it. Neither Bathesda nor Rareware could hope to make an offer that could compete with EA, nor could they meet its marketing budget. Sometimes the honor doesn't go to the most deserving, it goes to the deepest pockets.
....Lets examine this shall we? Lets say, they are going to charge 400 points for the single player version and 200 more points to access the versus mode. Do you think that if they "weren't going to charge for versus play" you would get the whole package for 400 points? Well, if you do, you're an idiot. Then there would be only on version and it would be 600 points!!! This way they are giving you options, they are recognizing that alot of people (probably the vast majority) play puz...
...this is the closest they can get to news about their favorite console :). Not alot of PS3 news out there to keep them occupied, except editorials about how its not worth the money and rumors that its specs are being downgraded again.
Oh yeah, they keep posting the same MGS4 trailer over and over again in different resolutions :)
Now, lets wait for it....go on fanbois, gimme the good old "yeah, well, your xbox1.5 overheated and burned down your house"...
I wonder if Britxbox.co.uk is just late gettong on this news bandwagon?
Rumors to this effect hit weeks ago when MS announced that their chip manufacturing was going from 90 to 65nm.
Also, the quote on their site from the "inside source" reads an awful lot like an financial analysis, also, it talks about '2006' in the future tense - IMO, I think this quote is about a year old (probably back when sony was still considering a Spring launch and all the an...
I predect that a woman in Connecticut, U.S.A - in a Wii induced arm-flailing fit - will strike her son in the head. The son will suffer brain death, reduced to a vegitative state. Nintendo will be sued and cease operations.
In a similar household accident, a Sony PS3 player will hit himself in the face while climbing sharply in Warhawk. His friends will laugh because he is of below-average intellegence.
Meanwhile, users of the XBOX 360 wireless controller will co...
My undertsanding is that a good percentage of trademarks are preventative. That is to say, the company that secures the trademark has no intention of using it, but they want to prevent others from doing so as well. Likely, they are trying to minimize black-market knock offs or prevent mockery.
Or, perhaps I'm completely wrong.
Apple has sold 1.5 billion music downloads (at a buck ($1 US) a pop - and are the worlds 5th largest legal music retailer - behind WalMart, K-mart, Target, and Amazon...
