@dontbhatin: " EA owns the rights to Porsche, so that is why GT has always had RUF"
if EA owns the rights to Porsche, why are there Porsches in Forza? EA doesnt make Forza.....
it sucks for someone like me, who is a huge fan of the late 80s/early to late 90s/very early 00's japanese performance cars. sure, i get 40 skylines, 30 wrxs, 30 rx7s etc - but none of them have cockpits, none of them can be visually modified, and i basically may as well just be playing GT4 all over again.
lol at people saying this is worldwide sales - Kinect launched in the US 6 days before it did in europe meaning only 4 days, maybe 3, of sales for Europe. its not even out in Aus/NZ/Japan yet.
and over 1 million in 10 days is far more than Move sold. im expecting to see 3.5-4 million sales in the first month, which again is far more than Move.
Is this "stunning" like the damage video was "breathtaking"?
Lol. I'm waiting for the video of the "magnificent" loading screen.
wow. just wow. im gobsmacked by how poor that damage and rollover look lol.
so its basically confirmed that GT5 has less impressive damage than Forza 3, and rollovers look about the same, if not worse. in Forza 3 your bumpers fall off, mirrors fall off, windows shatter, etc. in GT5 after a few 150km/h+ head ons with concrete barriers you get a slight bend in your front bumper? epic lols.
also, dont say manufacturers dont allow more than this - if they didnt,...
the "how much of the consoles power are you using?" question is a stupid, pointless and meaningless question.
being a programmer myself, i could write a 'game' for the PS3 that uses 100% of all 6 SPUs and the PPU 100% of the time in a handful of lines of code. it wouldnt even DO anything - no graphics, no text, no output at all - but it would be using 100% of the power of the console. thats actually INCREDIBLY easy to do. alternatively, you could take a game...
The retailers aren't ripping you off - I have friends who work for eb/jb/dick smith etc, and their COST price of most games is around the AU$85 mark. When they sell new games, like black ops, at $79 they are actually LOSING money with every sale.
The publishers want to maximize profit, and when you're selling to a market of 20 million in Aus as opposed to 300 mil in the US, the way to do this is by raising prices to the maximum price point that our wages would deem ap...
This has been covered a million times before. Things like a MUCH smaller population, more taxes, and higher minimum wage/average income all contribute to more expensive EVERYTHING - not just games. You should see our car prices if you think our game prices are inflated!
"Doesn't change the fact that Sony does not report ship=sold numbers. I just pointed out a simple observation."
but thats what im pointing out is wrong - they DO report shipped = sold!! theyre just re-defining THEIR definition of "sold".
its like when you sign up for an internet plan with 'unlimited' downloads. most of them have a clause saying after 100gb or whatever that youre shaped to 56k. is the plan unlimited? definitely....
just once id like to see a sony affiliated dev release actual, untouched screenshots. no 16xMSAA applied, no supersampled shots, no post-processed far beyond what the PS3 is capable of shots, just native resolution in-game screen captures.
deadset, they havent done that in at least 5 years. all these R3 ones are just supersampled with AA out the wahzoo and higher res textures than youll ever see in the game, and are in no way indicative of what youll see in-game. i mean, from...
and how does sony know how many consoles are in customers hands?
they dont. theres just no way to track this, unless every single shop regularly reports back to sony how many consoles they have sold. dont even for one second suggest that this happens, because it doesnt.
sony can blow as much smoke up your @rse as they want - they do not and can not ever have a real figure of how many consoles are in peoples hands. if a shop order 10 PS3, then a week later ord...
""Imagine playing something like Halo or like Call of Duty where you're holding a controller in your hand but if you want to look round a corner you actually move your head and the camera position changes," he dreamed. "Those kind of experiences you can create to blend the best of Kinect and the best of a controller.""
<sarcasm>you cant do that with Kinect, sony fanboys told me so </sarcasm>
im having a laugh at ...
wheres Uncharted 2?
@Raikiri: "Can anyone give me a VALID source that the 360 version alone sold more then PS3,WII,DS and PC combined?"
i know its not a real source, and im not pretending its an exact science - but within 24 hours of release, there were 3-3.5 million people playing Black Ops online on Xbox Live. that gives you at least some indication of the number of copies it sold on the 360.
its not just that the 360 is easier to develop for - its the fact that if you have a PC that can run Visual Studio, you can make a 360 XBLA game. thats seriously all you need.
there is no publicly available PS3 dev environment, nor any hardware that could test the games even if there was. Microsoft absolutely left Sony for dead in this department.
3.5 million online on black ops on 360 an hour ago. I've never even seen 2 million on Reach.
thanks for the reply.
i can only comment on a few of those, as literally all ive done is play multiplayer - no theatre, no leaderboards etc.
- i havent had any problem with the party system - is this a PS3 only issue? nearly all my play has been while in a party on 360, no issues yet. apart from....
- "leave with party", i forgot about that - i have had the problem of it not working at all.
- no framerate issues for me.
VGChartz has never and will never be credible. as soon as anyone has ever linked to VGChartz to backup their argument, theyve lost the argument.
the only OFFICIAL sales figure we will get is the number of kinects shipped to retailers, just like thats the only official figure we get for console sales of all 3 consoles. Microsoft/Sony/Nintentdo literally have no way of tracking anything else.
and since sony fanboys now agree that Shipped = Sold after the whole ...
what are all these bugs you talk about?
ive played on the 360 online for about 6-7 hours and havent yet seen a bug or glitch. havent touched single player yet though. everything ive done so far in black ops has worked and worked well, so im curious to know.
@ShinGino: "@above
This was explained before. "
no it wasnt.
answer my question - if EA supposedly own the rights to Porsche, how does Forza 3, Need For Speed, and a few other racing games all have Porsches in them?
and no matter what you want to say, RUF is not Porsche. Porsche is Porsche.
"More than twice the amount of content and features than Forza 3."
well not really.
