Hopefully now that Bungie is an independent studio again, we will start seeing their online functionality being licensed out to other game developers...
I'm not a big fan of Halo 3, but I do have to admit that match replays (complete with the ability to move the camera, switch characters followed, send clips to friends, etc.), and the AMAZING stats system in Halo 3 are untouched by any of Bungie's rivals.
If CoD6 came out with Halo's matchmaking, stats system, and re...
I'm just curious to see what these new upscaling DVD players will cost...
The sheer amount of processing power required to interpolate detail into a 480p video signal to TRULY rival a native 1080p format will jack the price UP on those things...
Toshiba's only hope is to get those things out there for no more than $250. Any more than that and you would be better off getting a 360 or PS3...
Besides, these upscalers had better be amazingly better than ...
Yes, MGS4 does rock...
But the open zone... Is over there ---->
With all of these negative comments flying around about all of the cutscenes, you'd almost think that the game sucked...
If you've never played MGS before, or are not into the whole MGS story line, then you will probably find the cutscenes excessive.
If you enjoyed the MGS series, then you will thoroughly enjoy the story line of MGS4, of which the cutscenes play a big part.
One thing that I haven't seen many reviews even make mention of is Metal Gear Onl...
Open Zone ---> that way...
Besides, if you're a 360 die-hard, then why do you care about this game? Go play some Halo..
I'm going to be a walking zombie tomorrow at work... Getting MGS4 at 12:01am and probably playing 'till 4am... :-)
Sony would be foolish not to out-bid Microsoft on Final Fantasy. That will be a big system seller...
Just like MGS4 (midnight launch, here I come) ;-)
Pre-paid, and I'll be at my local GameStop at midnight to pick it up... :-)
Really? The only issue I had was the whole "eternal loading" issue when signed into PSN, and that only lasted a day and a half...
Is it not reading discs, not powering up, etc?
Shoot, I liked CoD4 enough to buy both the PS3 and 360 versions just so I could play with my PSN and XBL buddies...
I'm really glad that this game is taking off like gangbusters for Infinity Ward. They deserve it!!
If they need any IT people for the Raliegh studio... ;-)
Then again, it could end up like the Pippen...

Also, the Apple TV isn't packing much horsepower.. It will be neat to see Apple go into the gaming market, but I don't see it becoming anything more than a niche market...
I understand where you're coming from on this, but at the same time both satellite and (especially) cable operators are struggling to find the bandwidth for 1080i broadcasts.
Comcast is adding all sorts of 1080i channels to their lineup, but at the expense of picture quality of the channels they already had. In the last six months, I have noticed that compression artifacts are FAR more noticeable, and you can tell that the color depth has been dropped on the signal (LOTS of colo...
"Agreed. Give those chinese a little tech and u'll see clones in stores within 6 months time. Vii is already very popular there. Cant' wait for 100$ bd players no need to buy ps3 for watching bd movies. THat will surely bring down whatever sales spike ps3 got after hd loss."
LOL... are you a little sore about the PS3 outselling the 360 worldwide in '08 (and in the US for a while)?
Besides, with all of the big titles that got pushed back finally coming out ...
MGO beta ran smoothly @ 1080p... I was hoping that it would be a sign of the full game being able to do the same...

While I agree that getting close to 360 launch quality graphics out of the Wii isn't too much of a stretch, I really don't expect anything breathtaking out of the Quantum 3 engine. The Wii is truly engineered to be a casual gaming machine.
With a single-threaded ~740Mhz CPU, and only 88MB of RAM shared between system and video, there's only going to be so much that you have the resources to do. Quantum 3 may be able to give great results in small confined environments (like rac...
Guerrilla still has plenty of time to put some polish on it... I'm sure that the AI should be up to standard by the time this comes out...
You do still have to put the game disc in, but once the game is running (IF the game supports it), you will be taken directly into the game lobby your friend is in.
Not all XBL games support going directly into the lobby... A large percentage do, but games like Ace Combat 6 don't...
It is a REALLY cool feature of XBL that I would love to see in PSN.
Also, the short voice messages on XBL are way more convenient than trying to type something out, even w...
