I just pissed and sh!t my pants laughing so hard at this.
First off, HipHopFlamer is a tool. The tool has no objectivity. The tool's show maxes out the douche meter. He's light on fact, heavy on biased opinion. And gamers aren't the one's making him popular. Sony fanboys, desperate for a beacon of unity, flock to his banner, despite (or maybe because of) the fact that he has nothing to offer to any conversation.
"HDMI thingy?" Well at least you know what you're talking about. But wait, apparently you don't. Because if you did, you'd know that the Xbox Elite has an HDMI thingy, and there are several 360 games that run native 1080p. Google them if you want. I won't list them because I've already wasted enough of my time responding to your banal post.
Keep the dream alive.
But since when does it download faster than XBL? My experience on the 2 systems is you get what you pay for. Most of the PSN movies don't even have 5.1 surround.
Look at the specs: considering the fact that 360 has a bigger library of 1080p games, has better anti-aliasing and sharper definition, and considering the fact that above 42" anything less than 1080p starts to break down in resolution and quality, and given the fact that even today the majority of PS3's top-drawer library (ahem, Killzone 2) is only rendered out at native 720p, I'd say if anyone has access to a screen this big, they're better off playing on a 360.
Now, if you...
This cat seriously needs to get a life.
@Gerry Mark II: how is Gears a glitch fest? I've played the campaign three times and never encountered anything game-breaking. Yet another example of a Sony-phile having no clue what he's talking about.
The true mark of maturity is when you attack the guy for being fat.
Half-Life 2. Portal. L4D. All genre defining. While they might not be the prettiest girl at the prom, they're the ones you can have over with your friends and drink beer and scratch yourselves and eat fart-inducing-nachos all night long.
I'll take anything from Valve over KZ2 any day.
Someone really needs to stuff a sock in Hip Hop's mouth and wrap his face with duct tape. Sony fanboys: ...
And is this for preorders only?
But I wouldn't say the PS3 is thriving either. The one thing that seems to be keeping it afloat is the Trojan Horse factor of the blu-ray. You look at the guts and you start to realize the system was never really designed as a game console, but as an uber HD media box.
PS3 was the period where Sony put videogames in the backseat and blu-ray up front. The PS4 will be a proper powerhouse. Assuming Sony weathers the stormy financial waters.
The 4th fiscal quarter of any year is always in the next year. So when I hear 4th quarter of 09, I think this actually means early 2010.
In any event, while it doesn't specifically mention PS3 (ME1 was multiplat without including PS3), I do hope PS3 users get to the enjoy this franchise. It's the kind of amazing that I don't want to horde. I want everyone to enjoy it.
There wasn't a flurry of articles about Halo or Gears exclaiming the exact same sh!t? Gimme a break. You brought this on yourselves by jerking off all over this game.
Fanboys beget hate and ignorance.
Look at the massive disconnect between the playable and non-playable portions of the MGS franchise - nevermind the camera; Snake's repertoire of movement and action is so much more expansive in the cutscenes. You can't make him do half these moves in-game.
It sounds like what FF is trying to do is closer to what Heavy Rain is trying to do, completely blur the line between playable gameplay and cinematic flare.
If they succeed, this game might bring me back to the FF ...
Turned on my box this morning and there was the update. Downloaded and installed within a minute.
This is a fair assessment of the game. You guys are looking for reviews on majesty, divinity, perfection, which, despite how good KZ2 may be, it's still JUST A GAME.
It's refreshing to see some media outlets treating it as such.
Seriously, the only way you guys wouldn't be b*tching is if it scores perfect 10's across the board.
And yes, the fact that this game doesn't have co-op is a HUGE oversight.
But multiplat games sell in favor of the 360.
For years, Resident Evil's gameplay and controls have practically stood still while it's graphics and general vibe have moved out of B-movie horror and into action/adventure. It's no longer survival horror. And the classic control scheme is broken. For your frustration and anxiety to stem from how the character controls instead of from inspired game and level design is just plain lazy.
What baffles me is, if this is true, why wasn't the scheme included in the demo? A lot of peopl...
they'll just steal it
I misspoke. They're both revelations. There really wasn't anything very inspired between the two. Nothing came close to the fun of GoldenEye until Halo, especially when you're considering fluidity and tightness of control. Every couple of years there is a jump in the genre. Nothing's radically built upon Halo's two stick, two trigger control scheme.
For my money, Rainbow 6 Vegas is a great jump forward with how it handles its cover mechanic. Arguably the tightest addition to the ...
Halo didn't sell because of hype. Every person I know bought an Xbox only after playing Halo. In other words, Halo sold Halo.
Halo did revolutionize FPS because it was the first one to prove that they can work on consoles. Everything before that had been clunky, jerky and awkward. Halo was smooth, precise and organic. Killzone - and every other console FPS - owes it's existence to Halo. If there hadn't been a Halo, there would have been no need for the "Halo-killing" Ki...
Why do this moron's articles keep getting approved?
It's awesome that whenever someone has an opinion contrary to what most of you fanboys think, they're wrong, uneducated, never played a videogame before in their life, etc. I'm willing to wager that PSXtreme didn't even read the KZ2 review. If they had, they might have seen past the number score and actually read a review that falls in line with what I'm expecting from this game: fun, not revolutionary.
All of you sound like little 5-year-olds at recess. Grow a pair and grow up. ...
