have been called into question ages ago, where have you been? From what I can tell they're all a bunch of flip-floppers, right up there with the rest of mainstream gaming media.
Let me ask YOU a serious question, does this sort of behavior genuinely, REALLY come as a surprise to you?
What makes you think that any of these money grubbing, fanboy leeching scoundrels REALLY associate with a particular side? These cats aren't the brightest tools in the shed, but they're ...
Viper, on the other hand, really looks like she came straight out of either King of Fighters or Fighting Vipers.
She reminds me of Vanessa from KoF.
Honestly.
Who really didn't think that the big publishers, and of course the little peon blogs would be there to start sucking up to the Playstation brand once the momentum was shifting? There's no way to be polite about this so I'll just be blunt.
Xbox fanatics were high several months ago about the press being on their side, great games, great reviews, good support, bigger install base, and pretty much everything under the sun.
It was all true, a...
For me, it wouldn't have anywhere near the same effect as did the original if everything was the same down to a T(besides gfx of course).
That's just me, my opinion, and I'm not insinuating that anyone else is wrong...just for clarification.
Anyway, I'd like them to try something different, maybe not stray too far away from the original formula, but add some things, maybe 3D movement for strategic purposes, something new, I don't know, but something.
"let's just do it respectively"
That's ultimately my only problem. Most of what I'm disgruntled about I feel is at the root of this, but hey, who am I to declare such a thing.
You're absolutely right, we need to respect one another.
Contradictory as it may seem, I have no problems with a fanboy per se, just when they feel the need to make that transition to zealot status and encroach upon everyone else's opinions and povs.
but I was referring to the people that perpetuate this nonsense, the blog owners and faux-journalists who create these "editorials" and opinion pieces.
Stirring the pot for no conceivable reason...presumably to inflate their broken egos. It's just meaningless in the big scheme of things. Who really needs to care about who or what won '07 anymore.
If that REALLY matters to you...go play games that were released then...forever. Don't buy any new games, ju...
Sorry, but I think after seven years and a whole generational leap, it's about time for a substantial change. Reason you can complain about it is because we've seen substantial changes elsewhere. Middleware like Euphoria and DMM is being implemented into Star Wars, new techniques and paradigms are being pioneered in Killzone, and heck, a few years ago Resident Evil saw a revamp.
I don't think there's any excuse for resting on your laurels, especially when there's so much more t...
Personally, I'm not a big fan of all this "winning" talk. Sounds like a big c*ck waving contest to me, just so one group can say "I told you so" to the other.
Entertaining the idea, and especially as a PS3 owner, I can say that the Wii "won" '07. Why? Because Wii customers are the only ones that are happy!
They're not jealous, insecure, and disgruntled liek the 360 and PS3 crowd, they're happy with their games and enjoying themselves...
and yet we still have jackasses fighting over this stuff.
Poor babies, I guess enjoying something on your own isn't enough, you just NEED to prove other opinions wrong, eh?
Put it this way, if the Wii was your console of choice in '07, nobody, not even GOD can tell you that you're wrong.
These idiots are just hopeless.
but it makes absolutely no sense to completely dismiss a once heralded title simply because something PERCEIVED to be better comes around...
Let's be REAL here folks, the only thing carrying R2 right now is blind, fervent devotion...that's it. After the huge reveals we've seen of Killzone...the _cutting edge_ engine, the unmatched visuals, and the vids, screens, and other tid-bits, a few dingy scans and 60 man multiplayer has sold the whole world. And fanboys like to hate on the ...
They're not crafting and optimizing an engine that includes extensive calculations of physics, procedural animation, deferred rendering, sophisticated lighting, and pretty much anything else that GG is cranking out.
There's more than meets the eye when it comes to Killzone, ladies and gents. Look at it in the abstract, it goes beyond the game itself.
Killzone 2 is a game, an engine...research and development, it's a project in every sense of the word. It's not simply...
You elitists never fail to amaze me.
You have fun playing one good game all year, the rest of us will be enjoying SEVERAL great titles in '08.
Strange how last year everyone was crying for a big library of excellent games...now that we're on our way to that, people act as if it's a crime to own more than one game within a genre.
As the momentum shift is underway, we'll start seeing the same media outlets quietly and modestly singing PS3 praise. All the while they'll also be slowly but surely noticing more of the competition's shortcomings. Shady journalism, but it's been here for so long that I find it hard to imagine that others still don't see it or just choose to ignore it. Apropos, many of the same folks who screamed for the heads of these outlets will begin to warm up to them. When this is referenced in the futu...
Shame, too, gonna miss those Hellfire missiles.
I wonder how they'll implement this into their consumer products...if it all.
The people that certain folks choose to date doesn't have ripple effects throughout the school though...this, however it turns it, certainly will.
nor am I trying to make this review seem credible, but who really expected this to return the series to it's former glory.
Sorry, but let's be real for a second here: that sort of thing doesn't happen.
99% of the time, a new time won't be able to capture what the original team did. They don't have the same goals, same ideas, and they don't know what the series was all about.
There are exceptions to every rule, but when you hand one persons baby over to a...
I don't know when the hell it became taboo to, you know...own more than one game, but it's beyond ridiculous at this point.
Any pair of decent games within a genre these days just HAVE to be compared and a winner MUST be chosen.
Who gives a crap, really. If you're too shortsighted to see the merits of two awesome games, then that's your problem, no need to perpetuate that crap to anybody else.
I would expect a project of such a scope to be somewhat of a downer in the visuals department, but some areas of this...heck a lot of areas look breathtaking.
You may not like Home, but you've got to give it up to them for this one...it looks great.
but just to entertain the proposition, this particular quote stood out to me:
"Who can write off 4 million units at 400 bucks each? Well MS can. But they won’t. Another bad decision."
I think this attitude outlines MS quintessential attitude problem when it comes to decision making. Going cheap on the consumer. This isn't meant to be inflammatory ladies and gentlemen...we all have our issues. PS3 faithful need to deal with the gaming drought and PSN, Wi...
