Gears 3 was announced like 5 months ago, GT5 was 5 years ago. Not the same really is it.
Shenmue 2 was on Xbox.
Bit late to post this, the match has already happened.
You can't always get it right the first time, remember Killzone? Hopefully EA will give them a chance to do a sequel and make up for their shortcomings.
Enough with the marketing ploy conspiracies, some people just can't take the fact that a product that they have been hating on for months is proving to be very popular among consumers.
Also, the fact that there has been no mass marketing for the product yet suggests that it is core gamers that are pre-ordering it (besides, casuals never tend to pre-order).
First person shooters succeed and fail on multiplayer, but for all other genres it should be single-player.
Great, now fanboys will be able to pull sales numbers out their arse and get away with it.
So when Microsoft put out a sequel it is "typical" and when they put out a new IP its "lame"? We haven't seen any substantial footage for some of those 360 games, but you just dismiss them anyway. And while the PS3 line-up may be diverse, all but one of those games are sequels.
What like Time Crisis?
It has been in development for 5 years, compared to the likes of Forza 3 and NFS Shift which were developed in 2.
It's called a review embargo. As soon as it's lifted, all the website put their reviews up, which is why they all come in at the same time.
Seems like a generous score considering what they actually said about it.
Having played the beta, I think this score is about right, maybe a 7.
Perhaps the first peripheral to have the same sort of demand at launch as a console. Hats off to Microsoft.
Just like Singstar is for nerds eh...
Yeah but Move is offering games that work perfectly fine with a controller. Kinect is offering games that work better with body motion. Most of them are casual games, but it might get core gamers playing games they don't usually play, and erase the negative causal stereotype that the Wii established.
Yeah at ONE shop, the major retailers' charts are dominated by Black Ops.
I never skip cut-scenes in games, and I hate it when my mates do, even if I've already seen it. It just completely takes away from the experience.
Sounds pretty "hardcore".
Everyone says that GT is one of the strongest brands in the industry. If they choose to delay it for "marketing reasons" it shows that Sony doesn't have much faith in it.
