Blastoise put it perfectly. It is still a great game, but inFAMOUS 1 is better in terms of story.
I don't think the author understands the meaning of overrated. Here's my list:
1. GTA IV
Way too highly rated for what is quite an average game IMO.
2. Halo 3
Good, but nowhere near as good as people made out. When I played this game, I actually thought Resistance 1 was way better in graphics and gameplay, but I preferred the story and voice acting in Halo.
3. COD
Modern Warfare was ...
@bganci/starchild - Why would Sony charge for online when it is the main draw to get Xbox gamers to convert to their console? Either of you thought of it that way? Probably not.
If both companies charged for online gaming, Xbox fans would stick to Xbox, PS fans would stick to PS, and the rest would decide between by looking at where their friends are. If they don't charge for the basic online, and charge for further features, they are offering a major advantage over XBL, ...
I preferred the old one, the new one looks too simple
Shouldn't be reported as a true story if it isn't true. N4G should have blocked this story straight away, it's stupid that it managed to get through and to the top if it is supposed to be bullshit.
@Theyellowflash30 - There is a workaround I believe for the 360 if you haven't already been banned, but if you have been then the only way to solve that problem is to buy a new Xbox 360. Which is probably one of the reasons why the 360 would sell so well just before COD released, because they would do a ban wave about a week earlier.
I think there is a workaround for PS3 as well, but it has something to do with spoofing your firmware version or something. With that said t...
@TopDudeMan - that doesn't mean he is allowed to hit him. Why didn't he just get him escorted off premises? This story is funny, but there is no excuse for Iwata's actions because its just stupid for a professional to act this way. I hope the guy sues him personally, just to teach him a lesson.
@JeffGunz - If you think Gears can be compared to Uncharted, you've obviously never played Uncharted. The games are completely different. The only thing that is comparable to Gears is Quantum Theory.
On topic - If true, GREAT move by MS as it may make me by the console, but I don't think it would stay exclusive for more than a year, simply because of the similarities between the architectures 720 and PS4, and the fact that these guys are used to making their games acr...
@nuke - LOL, right that's why I have one broken 360 and one working one on my TV stand. That's why nothing would make me invest in an Xbox...what?
I wasn't directing my comment at you, just at certain things you said. MS is bound to have pushed forward with new technologies, but we can only decide whether those advances are good enough when they are announced. I was very impressed by the features that Sony showed for the PS4, because they announced a lot of thing...
Must be a really slow news day, I can't quite believe that Destructoid has posted garbage like this.
@nuke - but that advantage will be meaningless next gen, because Sony learned a lot from the PS3 and because of that PS4 will be able to offer a lot of online features that the PS3 couldn't simply because every online feature was an afterthought, whereas on the 360 it was part of the console's design. In addition, the x86 architecture, and the fact that Sony won't be 1 year late to the party means that third party support will be pretty equal across the board, but we've alread...
Every time someone says they never had PS2, I feel sad that they didn't experience one of the best consoles of all time.
@BlindGuardian - True, but the source that first leaked this date did also say that an internet connection was only required for certain apps. In any case, I'm just glad that MS has officially announced the event, but it feels very late IMO, because E3 is only a couple of weeks later.
At least it's still alive in some form is the way I see it. I absolutely love Darksiders, and whilst I loved the second one, the first one was a smaller and more targeted game, with a better narrative. I'd bet that it would cost them less to make a third game like that, rather than going for bigger and bigger like Darksiders 2 tried.
Also I know the guy in the image is not Michael Denny.
I absolutely do think that Wii 2 would have been a far better name than Wii U. For 2 reasons:
1. All consoles tend to sound stupid when they are announced, but Wii U still sounds stupid. It's just an odd word to say.
2. Casual gamers were the main audience for the Wii. Combined with the fact that Nintendo made a complete balls up of the Wii U announcement, to the extent that CNN thought it was an attachment, I am 100% certain it would be doing far better ...
Yeah sounds about right, $399, and higher SKU at $449 with a game seems reasonable imo.
Off topic - Out of all the Sony execs though, I absolutely hate this Michael Denny guy, he just radiates doucheness like Don Mattrick.
I'm just surprised at how early this advertisement is, it suggests that the console may be coming even earlier than we thought.
I hope so too, anyone who disagreed with you is an idiot.
The best slogan is still the PS1 one in Europe, Never Underestimate The Power of the PlayStation.
