doesnt matter how big the 3DS + attachment is, the PSV is too big IMO. i made the mistake of buying a PSP on launch, then watching the subsequent revisions add more hardware features and perform better, so I'll be waiting for the same thing to happen with the PSV before buying. wheres the TV Output?
and looking at the comparison picture, the vita is still a fair bit bigger - look how much further both sides of the vita extend past the 3DS.
how about actually using in-game screen captures of Uncharted 3 and trying again?
out of all the U3 pics, only 1 is in-game gameplay, the rest are cutscenes with higher LOD models etc.
uh oh, Gear of War 3 got nominated but Uncharted 3 didnt.....prepare for the N4G $hit to hit the fan lol.
Good list IMO, seems like they didnt just go with the usuals that most other sites are throwing up just to pander to the fanboy audience.
ahhh the good ol' "the PS3 crowd is more mature and they wouldve bought Alan Wake more than 360 players did" line lol.
Alan Wake sold poorly (and by poorly I mean ~2 million or so) for pretty much 1 reason only - it released on the EXACT SAME DAY as what was widely regarded as the game of the year, Red Dead Redemption.
the fact is that PS3 owners are no older or more mature than 360 owners. they dont buy more "artsy" or "unique&q...
im a 'core' gamer, and they dont need to win me back because they never lost me.
99% of the games on the marketplace for HD consoles come out on the 360 too, a few PS3 exclusives here and there isnt enough for regular joe blow to abandon the xbox.
apart from on N4G, exclusives mean very little.
i only want a new god of war game when it actually brings something new to the table. God of War 1/2/3/chains/ghost all play exactly the same. the only thing differing is the story *ever so slightly* and the graphics.
i hold GoW 1 and 2 as 2 of the best games of all time, but the series has grown stale after 5 games with little to no changes. its all just learn the attack pattern of each enemy and block until the point where you can hit them.
lol at people saying that the 360 version must be 'compromised'.
the ONLY reason FFXIII was so big in filesize was because of the FMV cutscenes. the ONLY reason. 30 minutes of 720p FMV can be up to like 6gb in size. FF games have far more than that, thats why XIII was so many discs - it was all just FMV!
wisely they chose to use in-game cutscenes for the large majority of them in XIII-2, meaning a cutscene that took up 1gb before now takes a few doze...
lol
this is a kids game. half the people in here would be bagging the hell out of it if it was on Kinect, yet its all 'day one!'/'cant wait'/'omg game of the year' because its a Move game instead.
if this is the defining Move game, that speaks volumes for why noone gives a $hit about Move.
well the 360 version will have custom soundtracks like every other 360 game in existence, so its not a deal breaker. still, would be nice to have the original soundtrack in the game by default.
im sure it will - now theres even LESS actual gameplay than usual!
platforming? bah, just draw a line from point A to point B and your character does it all himself.
I didnt think it was possible to make Uncharted play itself any more than it already does. I was wrong.
@rbluetank: "who are these donkeys that select these games/winners?"
fanboys select the winners, literally - its public voting, so whoever has the most fanboys spamming away on the vote buttons wins.
gee what a surprise, we got winners that dont make any sense lol. go fanboy voting go!
How does skyrim win game of the year but not PS3 or 360 game of the year? how does batman win best action adventure game over uncharted 3 yet lose to it in the best PS3 game category?
lose the fanboy voting, then maybe the awards show will get some credibility.
when will you people learn lol.
that 'the last of us' trailer is NOT in-game. all youre doing is comparing pre-rendered cutscenes with MUCH higher LOD character models, much higher texture detail, much higher anti-aliasing, and more and better post processing effects.
the game will not look like that when youre actually in control of it.
lol at people carrying on about "there shouldnt be ads on XBL because its a paid service". have any of you ever actually used ANY OTHER PAID SERVICE?! there are ads in basically every single one lol.
Pay TV? ads galore.
Pay for membership to websites? ads galore.
Pay for a Gym membership? ads galore in the gyms and in the mail.
Xbox Live didnt invent ads on a paid service lol.
Also, 99% of the "ads" are ab...
The VGAs will never be legit until they are NOT voted for by the public. its just whoever has the most dedicated fanboys spamming the votes, nothing more.
does it bother me that Gears 3 wasnt nominated? no, not at all. i dont care about the VGAs for the aforementioned reason. does it deserve to be nominated though? hell yes. it is one of the best rating games of the generation, and is one of the best games of the generation. its probably the single most content packed action ...
Developers deserve to get money from EVERY sale of a game that comes from a shop. if a shop sells the game second hand after someone returned it to them, why should the shop get to keep the whole second sale price?
im against second hand selling of games in shops, never bought a second hand game and never will. being a developer myself, id hate it if one person paid for my product from a shop, then took it back when he was done and the shop sold it to someone else without me ...
lol
theyre not "in game" screenshots if their native resolution is 2560x1440.
unless of course you think this game will run in 2560x1440, in which case.......well i think we all know what that means.
Not quite.
Microsoft didnt pay for exclusivity so much, as they loaned them $50mil to make the DLC, with the first $50mil in takings from the DLC to go straight to microsoft, as well as a cut of any earnings above and beyond.
it was a smart move for both parties, and then also for us gamers - Microsoft got exclusive dlc for 12 months, rockstar got funded to make 2 great dlc packs, and eventually ps3 owners got it too. win, win, win.
1 week e...
im disappointed with the companion app for WP7 to be honest.
it was kinda touted as letting you control your 360 with your win phone 7, but all you can do is search for content on your phone and then go to it on the 360 by clicking it on your phone.
you cant browse your media that is stored on a NAS/PC, nor can you even tell them to play on the 360. basically, its only useful as a remote for watching movies/tv shows from the zune marketplace. big disappointm...
and this is why japanese game developers are being left behind by the western developers.
