i can see where vitz3 is coming from.
Spore will probably by my first PC Game purchase in over 10 years. Having an xbox (or PS3) as a steady platform is much more affordible than having to upgrade my pc every two years to play the latest and greatest.
But at the same time, I guess creating cutting edge games for the hardcore market is more profitable than creating tamed down FPS's for three-year-old computers. If it wasn't, companies wouldn't keep selling them!
Finally, a game worthy of my PSONE.
If the "Left Behind" series and a snuff film had a baby, it would look like this.
I sense a secret conspiracy...
Microsoft is intentionally trying to reduce productivity by creating ever increasing useless (but pretty) eye-candy.
Tin Foil Hats time people!
Can the human eye even appreciate the additional resolution? Like SACD, I don't see this being a winner.
480i to 1080p is a revolution.
1080p to Ultra HD is a tiny improvement difficult to notice.
Since the UN has been so fantastic at all of its other endeavors, sure, why not?
Unfortunately when it comes to solving poverty and creating sustainable economies, of all factors involved, money is not that important.
For what is supposed to be one of the most expensive games ever created....
As soon as the complaints starting coming in, F5 should have been working on the patch.
Waiting this long to give user's analogue control is just bad for business.
With Call of Duty 4 and other great FPS's, it's hard to believe that studios would invest their money creating this crap.
It's even harder to believe they would release a demo.
It's nice to see some people around here embrace good-old-fashion business sense rather than fan-boy conspiracy theories.
Oh, and anyone interested in why GM killed the electric car? It's because the car sucked and was costing GM a small fortune. :)
Doesn't this trailer remind you of "Destroy All Humans"?
It's hard to believe such a great game is hindered by such easily fixable problems (like "race reset" and an instant goto option)
It's kinda like Lair not allowing traditional controls.
Release a patch!!!
Aren't procedural textures a pain to create versus traditional bit mapped?
Sure it saves a ton of memory but if it slows down development, will studios go for it?
True, but his devotion to catholicism was mainly thinly disguised anti-semitism (passion play, etc..). This point is debatable of course.
My point is that the worst regimes in the world were mainly dedicated to suppressing religion.
Don't get me wrong, theocracies are hell holes and along with communist states, must end.
We have to recognize that the worst atrocities in modern history were carried out by Atheist (communism - 100 million dead) and Quasi-Pagans (nazism - 20 million dead).
"Religion" is too broad of a concept to be classified as good or evil. You have to examine each religion separately as they consist of very different ideas.
Does it matter that the land stolen from the Jews by Arabs is estimated to be FIVE times the size of Israel?
To Israel bashers, of course not. Steeling land from Jews is fine, but conquering land from Arabs in defensive wars is clearly not.
I am guessing by your "God's chosen people" remark, chances are you are not a fan of Jews. It's ok, most people aren't.
Every generation seems to believe they have the definitive reason to justify thei...
It's true Israel conquered land during wars STARTED by Arabs to destroy Israel. And Israel have given back 95% of that land in exchange for peace deals. (Egypt, Jordan, ect..)
Unfortunately, they can't seem to give Gaza away. Not in the Camp David negotiations, and not during disengagement.
actas123, you claim I don't know what I am talking about but do not bother to refute any of my points.
That's just plain lazy. If you believe I am not being factual, by all means, please correct me. But don't just claim that I do not understand the history of this conflict.
Israel is hated not for it's actions, but because they are "Goliath" while Palestine is "David".
People so often forget (or just ignore) that it was the Arabs who have tried to "drive the Jews into the sea" on 5 different occasions. And yet Israel is the side accused of ethnic clensing... ignoring the fact that there are over a million muslim citizens who live in Israel while the Arab world is now 99% Jew-Free.
Yep, once upon time t...
Rape women?
I think you are thinking of Darfur, or Algeria Civil War, or Somalia, or countless other conflicts... but not Israel.
Israel is that tiny country that everybody loves to hate, but not the country that rapes and tortures innocent people.
Where the hell did your highschool buy its textbooks?
I guess HD is the new sports car. One way or another we all are compensating for the size of our...
