Everybody and their sister starting making music based peripherals and flooded the market. Activision and Harmonix could of done some things differently but they were to busy milking the cow to notice the cow needed attention.
Shutting it down completely is good news for the competition. More market share for everyone else. Rockband, regardless how you feel about it, started the downward spiral for Guitar Hero. I've seen plug in guitars that had similar graphics...

Digital Foundry already broke down how the game will look technically based off the demo's. It's going to be one of the best looking and playing games on consoles.
We already know how it looks on 360...Skyline map...

I don't agree with hacking but i can't stand companies like Sony who think they can just walk all over everyone's rights when they feel like it. They have very little evidence and are grasping at straws, trying to over turn laws...this is bullshit. I felt sorry for Sony in the beginning of this whole mess...not anymore. If the kid did something wrong...charge him, if not go back to Japan.
What's to stop Sony from putting some thing on the hd. It's a farce at...
Well, the only real complaint about AW is that the game has only sold approx 850,000 units. M$ and Remedy were obviously hoping for more...alot more. What is often ignored in the discussion about AW and it's sales is the very real piracy numbers that have been reported for this title...1.14 million downloads. It's tough for a completely new, artsy IP like AW to survive in the frenzy FPS world/market these games find them selves in. If AW sold 5 million nobody would care but when your ...

Alan Wake was a fantastic game...no game like it anywhere on any system. Having said that it will return and this time I'm hoping they bring some co-op on-line game play. You can't be on the XBL heavy 360 without any on-line play.
No matter what they do they, as well as M$ will have to find a solution to the piracy that game suffered from. It was confirmed to be one of the most pirated games on 360 with a total of 1.14 million downloads.

Competition is a strange thing and if Activision wants to keep it's fanbase, it better keep the games coming. They had a great thing with Infinity Ward and Treyarch going back and forth every other year. I expect that they are hoping the Sledgehammer/Infinity ward Vs Treyarch will work the same.
The haters would sure like it as would the competitors...not going to happen. COD will see a game every year from now on. If you want to be the top dog you will have ...
The market is over saturated with those type of games at the moment. I have even seen a stand alone guitar sim you just plug into the Tv with out any console.
Guitar Hero was the big and best version...unfortunately, like it's COD franchise, the imitators are running wild trying to capture some of those sales. In the end, there is nothing left for nobody. the same goes for all popular games...look at Section 8, a blatant rip off of Halo.
EA, THQ...the...

Big, BIG fan of Stuart Black and his vision of what a game with a gun should be...make no mistake, this game has all the signatures of Stuart black, the creative designer of the under appreciated and possibly one of the best FPS's in the last ten years. He doesn't make any excuses...his games are about guns and destruction. Sure, the pencil neck bean counters tell him to throw some story in there and what not but he just wants to shoot stuff up...lol.
He ...
The COD game being released this fall is being made by the makers of Dead Space 1. Sledgehammer is handling the single player campaign while Infinity Ward will bw handling the multi-player. I suspect that this COD will have the best single player campaign yet. The whole project is being built with the COD MW2 ( Id ) game engine so you can expect great visuals, genre leading 60 fps and of course alot of great multi-player action...at least on 360...lol...sorry, I couldn't help myself. Wait...

I would just like to say that while the story is great in part one the bugs make that game almost unplayable and in many missions, I actually did find it unplayable. I was surprised a game like that was aloud to make it out into the market with so many problems.
The 360 S is always on sale some where. If you really have to play a game like that or any other 360 game, just buy the system already. Mass Effect 1 costs something like $4.99-9.99. I picked up a 360 ...

ALL gimmick based games will go the way of the dodo. Kinect, Wii and Move will eventual find the bargain bin as well. some new gadget will appear and make them seem irrelevant. The next Kinect-like device, similar to the famous Star trek hologram deck might be it.
Activision is just restructuring and adopting to what the market wants. They have a Bungie game coming at some point. COd and world of war-craft is there bread and butter. Activision is good at what it doe...

I picked up a $130 4 gb 360 S over the holidays and the 4 gb, as you can imagine is USELESS. Does future shop or gamestop have the same lower price hds. I know the official ones cost $129. Anyone with experience with these after market ones. Whats the quality like? Any problems...Thanx in advance...

They sure are going all out with all the features...but they have to. They are up against some stiff competition. I know they don't like the COD and Halo comparisons but that is exactly what they are doing. Taken a little here and a little there and viola...you have Crysis.
Having played the beta, I hope they figured out some of the issues the beta had but either way, I'm expecting big things from this game.
Those worried about how this game i...

REALLY...because it looks EXACTLY like Halo to me with the exception of all the TPS running. I believe this is going to cost $15 and is a download only game. Great to see a developer come up with such an original concept...O_o
Often imitated but never duplicated...

Played it on 360 as well...great game. This entire thread is why I have no interest in PC gaming...lol...look at all the headaches.

M$ points is a scam and I can't believe no consumer groups have taken M$ to task on the whole disgusting matter. I game alot on 360 and the whole points thing should never exist and I believe a lawsuit is in order. If a map pack or anything else costs 800 then why the heck can't I buy 800 points or 1200 for that matter...straight up criminality going on there...no different than ATM's and there system of 2,4,6...etc.
On topic of the young kid...well, ...
M$ was in last place for a long time. Nobody believed the mighty Sony could be toppled, let alone so soon after the monstrous sales the PS2 had, now at a reported 150 million. They all laughed at the big American company, told them even before the holidays in 2010 to just close down the gaming part of there Xbox division, Kinect will never sell..lol...M$ can't believe there luck.
The fanboys are the only guys complaining. M$ is sitting on 50+ million going into a new gen of...

...needs alot of work. Games seem to short to me. At the very least include more to the overall package.
How can Halo Reach have a single player, 4 player story based co-op, forge, firefight and a bunch of multiplayer maps PLUS all the other perks associated with that and still fit on 1 little dvd and then have a game like vanquish come out with nothing and sell for the same price...O_o
.
Things seem to be getting personal in development land these days. What the heck does Duke have to do with Halo or any other successful game???
Talk about your game and tell us why you think it's special and why I might want to pay full price for it. Telling me about other games, other games that I like BTW and how your game is nothing like them...O_o...is out right dumb.
Gears, Halo and COD couldn't be MORE different from each other. They all...
