I played Kinectimals with my nephew. he enjoyed it and i enjoyed it as well. So if me enjoying Halo Reach or Uncharted and also enjoying Kinectimals no longer makes me a "core gamer" or whatever label you want to hang around my neck then i don't want to be associated with the core gamer audience.
At least someone gets it. bubbles
@radphill and Cerberus2125 below:
Have you ever booted up a game on your wii or 360 and seen Sony computer entertainment as the publisher? Same goes for Microsoft and Nintendo.In fact, have you seen a Nintendo or Sony published game on a rival system?
You cant expect Sony Microsoft or Nintendo to publish a game that will appear on a rival system.
SO you want Microsoft to publish the game which you know will include advertising and promoting ...
What is with this elitist attitude with so called core gamers. As someone who has been gaming for over 20 years, i am happy that my family can now enjoy gaming as well when once upon a time, they all frowned at my gaming habits saying things like "gaming is for kids."
And don't give me that crap about the market shifting to casual gaming due to the rise of casual gamin because that is completely false. I just bought a 360 on friday because i gave my previous 5 y...
Amanita wanted Microsoft to publish the game for them on XBLA, hence it will be a Microsoft Games Studios title.
If that is the case, how do they expect Microsoft to publish a title that will be available on other platforms? If you want it to be multiplat, the platform holder is not who you should meet to publish the game. You either do it yourself or meet a publisher like EA, Activision etc.
Sorry but in this case, Microsoft is completely right.
Correct. If you shop around you can get a very good deal at the moment.
Last wednesday, i saw a 360 250gig at GAME for £149.99, i went in store on friday to get one and it was above retail price at £200.
Got mine at HMV same day with HAlo Reach, Forza 3 + a £10 gift card all for £210. Used the gift card to buy one HDMI cable.HMV had a 4gig Kinect bundle for the same price i got mine.
Hope i can get a below £100 kinect...
Just got Halo Reach with my new shiny 360 S. Got to say, it is an excellent game.
Currently at the 3rd or 4th stage at the moment that reminds me of "the truth and reconciliation" level in Halo CE.
My sis walked in to GAME UK, tried the Kinect sports demo and bought a a 4gig kinect bundle on the spot with Dance Central and Your Shape fitness evolved. A month on, she is totally in love with it and this is a girl that since we were kids has never understood what i have liked in gaming and has always frowned upon my gaming habit.
So happy to see that the market is growing and if its motion controls are the reason, then i am glad that they exist.
After 22 hours of torture, i finally gave up. While playing this game, it made me look back at Lost Odyssey and it made just reassured my already strong belief that Mist walker created a masterpiece in Lost Odyssey and reviewers genuinely owe that studio an apology.
I dont give a f*ck if a game is exclusive or multiplat. I have been console gaming for over 20 years and not once has my purchase of a game been swayed because it was exclusive to my console of choice.
So go ahead and keep playing only exclusives and keep holding on to them as is they were gods gift to man. Me on the other hand will play GAMES no matter the platform, no matter the publisher/ dev, no matter the platform or Metascore as long as the GAME peaks my interest and i ...
I would love to see a new generation of consoles with 10X better graphics but i have to be stupid not to think of the cost implications it will have on devs and on us the consumers.
So many good studios closed down due to various reasons this gen and with new hardware and increased costs, that number will most likely increase.
So i agree, this gen should go on a bit longer.
I guess the popular saying on N4g that the graphics of "Insert PS3 exclusive" can never be carried out on the 360 or the PS3 is 20% more powerful than the 360 has just been thrown out of the window with the release of Crysis 2.
John Carmak said it and Crytek have proved him correct. Cant wait to see Rage and Kingdoms.
Just played the 360 version for about 20mins today and it is a fantastic looking game.Lighting is exceptional and the textures are really good for a console game. Did not notice any screen tearing that the LOT article mentioned but from this article, they explain its at the top of the screen so hence is not noticeable.
I did notice a very very tiny frame rate drop but my boss said, its installed on his HDD on his home 360 and it runs much much better that way.
Panzer Dragoon Orta was one of my best games on the original XBOX so Project Draco is the game that i am so eagerly awaiting some more news on.
Just played 20mins of Crysis 2 at work today and i am so impressed with what Crytek have done and i will be buying the game either end of this month or next month so really excited to see what they can do with Kingdoms.
Steel Batallion is another game high up my most wanted list.
Not gotten Kinect yet bt my new flat is so ready for some Kinect action.
Unveil it at E3 2012 with a release date shortly after and i will be a very happy gamer.
How can a Lamborghini Gallardo be a standard car? That i consider to be an insult.
@ Blacktric: Thats not as bad as the Bugatti Veyron being standard as well.
The same graphics improvements that Forza 3 gave Forza 2. And when did number of discs dictate how the graphics of a game will look? Has the 5.5gig of delicious looking Crysis 2 on 360 taught you anything?
EDIT: Why is it so difficult for you to stay away from a Kinect or Forza article?
Good find DelbertGrady. Anyway, Forza articles always brings out the trolls and Forza 4 will not be any different.
Turn10 have always gotten my money with the Forza franchise because each iteration has been quality. No reason to see why this will be different.
Cerberus2125:
You call me a troll but fail to answer my question. Can you please show me a game this gen available on a rival system that SOny, Microsoft or Nintendo later on published?
Thats like Team Ninja approaching Sony to publish NInja Gaiden 2 on the PS3 Or Square Enix asking Sony to publish Last Remnant after the 360 version was released.
SOny will tell them to go f*ck themselves.
