Yeah, I really loved the first one. Who was the bad guy, Jack of Hearts? Great game. I thought it was pretty unique how your character aged. MS should do an HD remake for that game. Fable 2 was alright, but I didn't finish it. Haven't played 3 and most likely won't play the new one.
You make some excellent points. I wonder what the price will be for the next-gen Xbox. If we're looking at an expensive console, you can bet MS will try to fool the hardcore again. Too many ads and apps, too much focus on Kinect, and not enough new IPs. No wonder I'm not shocked from this podcast.
I play online all the time and I don't talk to anyone, especially if there are people in the lobby with your type of mentality. PSN is no different than LIVE when it comes to online play either...stop spreading disinformation.
The fact that you spent that much on HDMI cables...I don't think I've ever spent over five bucks per cable.
I like how your comment was civil. Thanks for that. There are too many people on this site that are rude or that comment on posts without reading it through, or even thinking. Hey, that's great that you feel that way. I wish I could feel like Microsoft still provides some sort of value to me as a gamer. I had the original Xbox with tons of games and was an avid 360 player until earlier this year. From my perspective, Microsoft is catering too heavily to the casual market and taking advant...
Free stuff is always good, but something this insignificant is a little insulting. I have supported the 360 since launch, bought over a hundred games and tons of dlc, and for years I've payed for online play that is free on every other platform. My gamer score is over 50,000. This is the reason why I let my gold subscription expire. Microsoft pisses on its customer base, and doesn't even have the decency to call it rain. The company is just banking cash with LIVE subscriptions and wh...
I hope this plays like Black Ops and not Modern Warfare. For some reason I could never get into MW2 and 3 after COD4. I know this is a Treyarch game, but I keep hearing accounts on how this plays more like MW3.
Yeah, you know I really didn't think about that. I've tried searching for console multiplayer footage and can only find PC. Wasn't there going to be console multiplayer footage at PAX? I would love to pick this game up but I still have my doubts. Fingers crossed.
People are blaming EA not on pure speculation, but on their track record. Insomniac signed a contract with EA, so they are partners for this project. I highly doubt EA said to Insomniac, "Hey guys, do what you want, even though we are funding this little party."
I am a huge Insomniac fan, love R&C and Resistance. Not many people know that Insomniac is independent. However, I don't think EA is giving them complete freedom on the project. When I saw the Overstrike trailer, I said to myself, "Well, this looks like an Insomniac game." When I saw the Fuse trailer, I was pretty pissed because it showcased EA's influence on the project. And since EA is the publisher for this project, don't they hold the purse strings? Fuse is relea...
Where is this Tim Hurtons you speak of, for I would like to visit their cafe and bake shop.
Sales don't mean everything. Case in point: Call of Duty.
First off, I'm not coming to any "rash conclusions." A lot of the points you are attempting to make are just putting words in my mouth. I never said I was worried that any and all new games will be based around this device. I also never stated that development teams will be pulled away from projects to work on this device. Yes, I know this is a patent. As a 360 supporter, yes, these types of business moves gives me cause for concern. Several publications have mirrored the concer...
I am very concerned where Microsoft is taking its gaming division. How about focusing more on new AAA IPs and hardware reliability? Is there a consumer demand for this type of controller? Well, we know where their dashboard ad money and gold subscription funds are going.
This post shows a certain level of IGNORANCE, there you go, that's how you actually spell that word. If you look at the numbers, Microsoft does not have as many exclusives as Sony. Calling someone a child doesn't instill any confidence in your case, either. Look at Microsoft's E3 presentation, and that will tell you what direction they are heading with the 360, and possibly with their next generation platform.
I really envy PC Battlefield 3 players, with the game looking as good as it does and 64 player matches. It hurts just watching PC clips on Youtube. This game is just not meant for consoles. The player counts are too small and some of the maps are too big. Many people run off and don't bother with team objectives. I don't know about eveyone else, but it is difficult to find a full game with a normal ticket count on the PS3! Many of the official DICE servers are empty, and the game just...
Thank God. Don't get any Kinect in my Halo 4!
Joseph Rush was really reaching for this article. In no way has it become an annual release. Even though I'm burned out on Halo for awhile, every game in the series has been fresh, unlike other games within the genre.
No. I think the studios are shut down because EA stifles creativity and new concepts that are usually shown by the development studios that are acquired. EA does not take risks, everything must look like what is considered successful on the market. EA copies, it does not create. The problem is EA does not copy formulas well. Game sales tank, thus the studio is closed because it is not considered financially viable. Rinse and repeat. Look at Insomniac's trailers of Overstrike and Fuse. Fus...
This is so disappointing to hear. Well, I guess this is the reason why EA made sure console multiplayer footage was sparse.
