You've played the game right? You seem to think it's better than that, so someone else's score is inconsequential.
Why do you need a good rating to feel secure about a game you already enjoy?
Which is why there shouldn't even be so much uproar over review scores and ratings.
Who cares if reviewer X gives something a 2 if you enjoy it yourself. You're absolutely right, Daxx, despite pretty graphics, gameplay innovations, or anything in between, FUN is the bottom line, and too many people are forgetting about that these days.
9's and 10's shouldn't be used as fuel for people's fire, nor should they be used to harbor grudges and ridiculous conspiracy the...
Firstly, every last point you stated was nothing but conjecture. All of them, save for Halo 3 releasing period.
What's of particular interest to me is how characters like yourself will call others blind, yet you speak of the PS3 being somehow unbankable. Newsflash: a 5 million userbase is VERY ripe for profit, VERY.
As far as a commanding lead, 11 million to five million withing 2 and one year respectively for competitors is HARDLY "commanding" when we'...
How do they do it? Resistance 2 might look on par with Killzone if they keep this up.
And 720 at 60fps? Killzone itself isn't even doing that much!
Great news, it only bodes well for the future, especially from a good developer like Insomniac.
but regardless, I want a decent PS3 port this time, b/c I don't see myself upgrading my computer again...I pretty much bought it for F.E.A.R. and Obliv. a couple years ago.
Couldn't care less whether it was no name developer # 387 or Mork & Mindy, I want a good PS3 version this time.
My favorite PC shooter is finally getting a sequel, and it looks fantastic. Kicking over objects for cover, enemies flying and flailing everywhere, vaulting over objects, etc...this looks frantic as Hell. I love it.
It still seems to resort to the corridor/office room style of the first, but we'll see.
I hope the PS3 version is done justice this time around, with M/KB support to boot.
I hate the fact that the demo limits you to 30 minutes(I could play it for hours on end), but it's easy to see how brilliant this game is.
Day one purchase, this demo has made me a believer.
This is why there's nothing else like hands on experience. Arbitrary ratings do nothing for you yourself.
Needs a sequel, period.
Astounding how tightly under wraps they're keeping this game. I think it's safe to say that everyone and their mother knows it will have rumble...yet no word here, lol.
Maybe we'll get something new at GDC.
NB 2K8 demo...:sigh:
in saying it would be released this year, hated, and then expanded upon next year.
Now it's up in the air for me. Obviously they're delaying it to make it more robust and/or user-friendly...so hopefully it impresses...next year.
This is a real bummer, but oh well.
That's a pretty big jump from now to then, and we still haven't heard word about this fabled $400.00 model yet. Honestly, if there's something like that, I could see another 3.5 million solds from now until years end...but an additional 6 million consoles? Doubt it. It would be nice, but I doubt it.
This only means good things for Motorstorm 2 though. I wouldn't be surprised to see Gran Turismo calibre graphics next time around. I liked Motorstorm's style though.
I have to ask though, is the Touchsense in this or not? What I just read mentioned nothing of it.
Prepare for the next number one PSN download. :)
I wonder if that MGS collection will hit anytime soon.
bad news for the '08 lineup, and Killzone. I'm sure KZ2 could have leaned on this as a Q1 release to help their dev time along. Hopefully we don't see any other games rushed as a result.
The Fall lineup is strong enough anyway IMO. Plenty of good sports games, Folklore, HS, Uncharted, Ratchet, CoD4, UT3, Haze, etc. it all just looks good. The more the merrier, but in all honesty, I think there's room for this game to wait. Japan only release maybe, b/c I can't imagine Haze and ...
and I agree on all points. I must admit though, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't curious as to exactly what it is MS has planned for next year.
Whatever the case, it's becoming harder and harder for new IP's to gain ground in this new generation. Proven and revered franchises are carrying all consoles right now, and 2008 will be yet another huge year for returning favorites.
Personally I think that only makes the 360's crusade even harder, but we'll see.
I've been saying this for a long time now, so needless to say, I agree wholeheartedly.
2 years of dev time = 1 alpha, 1 beta, 1 planning, etc. phases.
1 year = all those things twice in relation. 2 years of dev time would essentially be time and a half, and I think it would work out very well.
In all honesty, I'd settle for a roster update for ONE YEAR while the next iteration was still being worked on. That's what sports games are becoming anyway,...
Why am I not surprised...rumble is just...rumble. At least we can all be happy. I'll turn it off just like I used to, and those that missed can bask in their rumble Nirvana.
Cheers.
With Tales being among my favorite RPG series and all, right up there with FF and Xenosaga.
You very well may be right. Sony knows the leverage that FFVII carries probably better than Square does(since their console could serve to thrive very well from it, anyway), and I'm sure if the price is right, Square will come running. I do remember them saying that the decision to make one or two particular games was essentially on a whim(can't remember, either X-2 or one of the VII spi...
and taken care of so quickly. Kudos.
