the thing is, its not just a FPS controller - its better for ANY dual analogue control game.
third person games where you look/aim with the second analogue will be much better to control using this.
racing games where people use the right analogue for accelerating/braking will be much better to control using this.
basically, everything apart from games that use the face buttons and dpad the majority of the time will be better.
i HOPE that sony...
replacing menu driven things like timeout calls and defensive/offensive patterns with voice controls is a great idea, and thats what id assume theyll be doing.
and yes, that does make it "better with kinect" just like how most of the other games that use kinect to replace menu-driven things end up being better with kinect.
thats because the AK-47 is the most popular and widely used assault rifle in the world.
when developers make racing games they dont choose the unpopular and least used cars first, do they?
i think the Gears Lancer is obviously the most iconic from this generation at least.
exactly - its not even a year old and sony havent yet given anyone a reason to buy one!
consoles usually sell a LOT on launch just based on the fact that its a new console with some new games. the vita sold horribly on launch, and even worse since then. if noone is buying it in the first year, what hope does it have?
the vita has had an identity crisis since day 1 - crisis in the fact that it doesnt HAVE an identity. is it a mini home console? you cant play...
Lol they dropped their ridiculous forecast of 16 million vita/psp sales by a whopping 25% and have already admitted that this year is going to be a big loss, and it's only quarter 1..... More bad times ahead for Sony.
Now watch in quarter 2 when they take another 4 million off the predictions. The vita is dead in the water and Sony look like they couldn't care less.
Oh and so much for the game division being their shining light lol. As always their fi...
Bastion is a platformer now?!
Bastion and Limbo are completely different genres lol.
Limbo is one of the best games of the generation IMO. one of the best games ever? possibly. not in my top 5 or 10, but its up there.
I cant help but feel it wouldve gotten a lot more love here on N4PS3G if it wasnt 360 exclusive for like 12 months.
Forza Horizon?
Borderlands 2?
yet LBP Karts made the cut lol. gotta keep those rabit PS fanboys happy i suppose, since they dont have any "core" exclusives this year.
So you don't pay for PS+? Cause if you do, they're not free are they?
Warhawk, the original, was also on PC btw.
@Jio: the vita doesn't support online play over 3G, so it's not really "on the go" even if it did come out.
i dont care what anyone says, SmartGlass will be absolutely essential for me and used EVERY time i use my 360 IF microsoft make it so all game invites/messages/chat is handled through SmartGlass. if i can join peoples games, invite people to my game, set up chats, set up parties, etc all without ever having to bring up the in-game guide, doing it all on my ipad, that will be enough for me.
Lol that's not the blades.
The "blades" was the original dashboard, as seen in the first few screens here: http://gamersxtreme.org/201...
What you posted is the NXE.
For your question, the answer is no maven if you could, you couldn't connect to Xbox live as you have to have the latest firmware to connect.
@jimbobwahey:
While I agree with everything you said, he doesn't have a team to abandon him - polytron is only 2 people, including Phil fish. How IGN didn't know this is beyond me.
And before anyone says something about Sony being better for indie developers, they also charge the same big certification fee that Microsoft do for patches.
Also, people don't seem to understand certification. The certification that Microsoft does is ...
if the horrible Vita sales please sony then it must have just been all parties all the time during the PS1-PS2 era at sony HQ.
the vitas sales are terrible. it doesnt matter how powerful the vita is on paper, how many games "are coming", how "slow burn" the PSV is, or how much you personally like it - it is not selling well at all. its selling the exact opposite of well. you simply cannot disagree with that.
"History repeats itself and so that is what we can look at to predict that this would be a game changer for the industry, Sony and the competition. "
oh so the PS3 has sold 100+ million consoles already, and the 360 stopped being produced 3 years go at only 24 million sales, did it?
history doesnt work that way. what will most likely happen is that there will be a month of increased sales due to people who were holding out for a price drop and curre...
saw this on reddit yesterday, looks pretty awesome so might have to buy.
black is IMO the best FPS of the last 10 years, bar none. enemy front looks pretty awesome, hoping it turns out well.
still waiting for Black 2 though.
so are any of the windows haters going to actually give some reasons as to why they hate windows? some specific reasons maybe?
no? didnt think so.
"because its microsoft" isnt a valid reason to hate windows. Windows 8, and windows 7 before it, are damn good operating systems. gabe newell doesnt like it because he doesnt like games for windows live as its a direct competitor to his product, and windows/xbox live is built directly into windows 8.
for those who inevitably wont read the article, Microsoft did NOT shut down the studio. they just cancelled Microsoft Flight and an unnamed project.
"After the way the company has treated indie companies like Polytron"
you mean holding them to their contract that Polytron signed and agreed to? oh noes, the horror!
Polytron f$%^ed up, its ALL on them. they signed an exclusive contract with microsoft. if they didnt read it properly its their fault. they knew that they get 1 free patch, then they have to pay the certification fees for every patch after that. they used their free patch, and it broke...
if smartglass can be made to function as the in-game Guide instead of having to use it on your tv, ill be happy.
would be awesome having my ipad next to me on the lounge and just invite friends to my game/join their game with a few touches of the screen without having to bring up the guide. bringing up the guide while playing on xbox live is a hassle in most games as youre a sitting duck while the guide is up. with smartglass you wont be.
