ive got a large gamerscore, but not when you put it in comparison to the number i COULD have if i 'achievement whored'.
i play games for fun, and if i get achievements while doing so then good for me. if not, i generally dont go out of my way to get them unless they are ones that are genuinely challenging - ie. beat 'Through the Fire and Flames' on expert in GH3, kill 56000 zombies in one playthrough in Dead Rising, etc.
they add more fun to ...
guess im in the minority - i loved what they did with MW2.
the trailer for Black Ops Multiplayer firmly put it on my 'must buy' list, whereas i wasnt going to buy it at all previously as its not Infinity Ward, unless it received rave reviews.
but Halo 3 has outsold MANY multiplatform releases? its sold 11 million copies so far.
i have no doubt that Black Ops will sell more, since MW2 sold about 20 million copies. but Reach will more than hold its own to become the first/second highest selling exclusive this generation.
the pointer lags because its being tracked by the PSEye. anyone who has the PSEye can attest to the lag thats inherent in everything it does. much like the same way that Kinect can never be 100% lag free, neither can Move when its using the camera.
when move is NOT using the camera, say for gyro stuff, that will all have no noticable lag, just like pressing an analogue stick in a direction. but anything using the camera will be 200ms+ lag. its unfortunate, but its just how ca...
most companies hire outside agencies to do their ads. they generally choose the music.
the thing is, they could put Lady Gaga to LBP and 95% of the people on here would claim its the 'perfect' music for it.
all im saying is that in all the time i played reach, even apparent headshots with the needle rifle on shield-less opponents didnt kill them, but DMR shots did.
regardless of the mode, the needle rifle is VERY underpowered. the DMR is its equivalent weapon on the human side, and its MUCH more powerful.
having said that, SWAT is the bomb. i had so many awesome videos saved from that mode in the beta, but apparently they wont carry over to the full release :(. ...
hopefully this wont turn into another 'omg theyre using the LBP music!' situation we had going on here when LBP had a GO! Team song as its 'theme' music, and suddenly anything that used that song - and the song was released nearly a decade earlier - was 'ripping off' LBP lol.
these clip of the days suck, they show barely anything.
having played the beta extensively, i have to say..........that needle rifle absolutely sucks. with the DMR you can take people out with one shot from across the map, but the needle rifle seems to need a whole clip in the chest to kill anyone.
hopefully they made it more powerful in the final version.
look, even if this video IS faked, we do know that GT5 has long load times. there have been numerous videos released - where you can clearly see it hasnt been slowed down - that have shown the loading from choosing a car to getting to the pre-race menu to take pretty much spot on 1 minute.
personally it doesnt bother me, having grown up with load times being regularly this long or MORE on the original Playstation, then Dreamcast, PS2, etc etc.
but the fact i...
from this preview we get our first hands-on confirmation that the GT4 upscaled cars stand out like a sore thumb compared to the new GT5 ones.
also, saying that the GT4 cars have 'no specific cockpit view' means 1 of 2 things:
1. they dont actually have a cockpit view, more a windscreen view like Forza
2. they all have the same interior, like a generic dashboard.
anyone trying to downplay Dance Central needs to take a step back and actually think about it.
it is a FULL BODY dance game. its to dancing what Rock Band 3s Pro Mode is to guitar playing - if you get perfect scoring in the game youre dancing well, just like if you get perfect scoring in Pro Mode on RB3 youre actually playing real guitar.
a game like this has NOT been done before. this is NOT like Dance Dance Revolution. Dance Dance Revolution is just 4 butto...
@JustTheFactsMr: "Draw something using your finger with Kinect. If it can do 1:1 it should be easy stuff. "
do the same with Move. oh wait, Move cant detect your finger movements either. so if youre going to use FINGER movements to determine if a control method can do 1:1 tracking, then NEITHER Kinect or Move can do 1:1.
but the fact is that with both Move AND Kinect, in regards to your hands it ONLY tracks your HANDS, not fingers. Kinect can do ful...
i swear, none of you guys even know what 1:1 motion tracking is lol.
1:1 means what you do gets perfectly recreated on screen. it doesnt matter if there is 0 seconds of lag, or 10 seconds of lag - if your action gets perfectly mirrored in the game, its 1:1. if you move your right hand up 20cm, and the game moves whatever your right hand is controlling up 20cm, thats 1:1. it doesnt matter if it takes half a second or half an hour - its 1:1. we KNOW that kinect can do 1:1.

where you live maybe, but not in Australia where I am. its 10am monday morning here.
@SOAD: "And the tech behind RAGE isn't better than the tech behind God of War 3 or Killzone 3. There's a lot of stuff going on on-screen in those games. RAGE looks fantastic but static."
well it is better, but hey, you probably wouldnt understand why. what tech does god of ware 3 have? its got some fancy ...
i got the last Legendary Edition preorder at my local GAME store. all EBs in Australia had officially 'sold out' of preorders months ago, JB HiFi isnt even getting any, and Harvey Normans are all 'sold out' too according to the manager that i asked.
this is in Australia btw.
as has been confirmed by a few people, this is a genuine Limited Edition. Hand painted, individually numbered McFarlane statues and Bungie wanting this to truly be a coll...
people are hating on it for a few reasons:
1. its multiplatform. this is enough to make some people think itll be rubbish, despite the large majority of the best games of every generation being multiplatform.
2. its multiplatform AND it has better graphics and technology behind it than PS3 exclusives, meaning that it blows the whole 'teh PS3 is 3x more powerfulz than da Failbox 360' out of the water. if a multiplatform engine can produce a game that i...
geeze some of you speak rubbish lol.
@OrganicMachine: " the reason why the viewpoint is lower because the camera is right on the CHest of the avatar.. which is odd.."
so when you aim down the sights, youre doing what? moving your eyeballs down to your chest? cause the view doesnt suddenly jump a foot and a half up to head height lol. the viewpoint in Killzone 2 is NOT on the chest of your character - they just got the height wrong somehow.
...
hahahahah this is so typical of N4G.
I simply state that a 100% Sony owned company making a quote about how the product that their Parent Company makes still has so much power left should just be taken with a grain of salt, and I even specifically mention that it doesn't matter if its a Sony owned company talking about Sony, or a Microsoft owned company talking about Microsoft, and I get 18 'disagrees' and not a single 'agree'.
wow. just w...
God of War 3 was enjoyable, but nowhere near GOTY worthy. it is essentially just god of war 1/2 in HD. doesnt bring anything new to the table, and is at heart a PS2 game with the graphics turned up to 11. thats why its not going to win many game critics 'game of the year' awards.
yes, its a ps3 exclusive. yes, it has some fancy anti-aliasing. no, that doesnt automatically make it game of the year.
my top 5 games of the year so far:
- Alan Wak...
if theres one way to make the battery life of a PSP even worse, its to put it together with a phone.
great idea in concept, maybe in execution too, but could you imagine going out at night, busting out a bit of Chains of Olympus on your phone, only to play for an hour and your battery on now both your PSP AND you phone are dead?
itd need some SERIOUS battery life before id ever consider buying it.
