^They might be worse in my eyes Syronicus. I'm with the ones that say I'm never buying anything from them (as if I ever did before anyways--I don't even care for the COD franchise). That whole Brutal Legend thing might be one of the most asinine things I've witnessed in while too. Seriously hate..no...LOATHE Activision these days.
By the way, to all the people who just can't resist getting MW2 (like I said, I'm not into the franchise, but my brother will want MW2), here's a word ...
It's a mistake. It's gotta be. I don't see that happening. At the official site (and the press release) only mention PC.
Damn, that fur looks really good. Haven't seen it on blu-ray. Might have to check that out though. However, I have seen a few Pixar movies on blu-ray: Cars, Ratatouille, and Wall-E. All of which look really really good. And in my opinion, nothing touches Wall-E. That movie had my jaw hanging open on blu-ray. Is it too greedy to ask for that level of cgi in new games? lol ok fine..thought so.
I do have to admit though, some of those screens of Ratchet there are really really good...
First let me say this: I just started ToD the other day (my first Ratchet game ever) and I have to admit it looks really good and it's been pretty fun so far. Now as for the Pixar comparisons? No way. The game looks great, it does not touch Pixar CGI though. Maybe it's more like DreamWorks Animation, but not Pixar. Like FamilyGuy said, Ratchet does NOT compare to even Toy Story if you watch an actual HD version. And that's not even counting stuff like Cars (Monsters, inc? really? not doubting...
I'm not playing wrong. Most of the time when I was playing SOCOM (any of them) it was usually no-respawn. But clearly, from what I've ever seen, people flock more to the respawn rooms, those were always the ones you'd find to be more of and all full usually. However I do agree with the sentiment that no-respawn made SOCOM standout for me online, but I don't think that makes it the more popular one. Like I said, anytime I've been online, always seems the respawn games are more abundant and alw...
I thought 'Western RPG' was pretty set at this point in time. I mean it's definitely become a genre of its own and quite frankly I'm enjoying it. As far as I knew, WRPG has become as official as JPRG and stands on its own now. So far this gen I've really really enjoyed Oblivion and Fallout3. I'll definitely pick up this game and be trying it out.
@FamilyGuy
Yea I can understand that. That's an interesting take about it revolutionizing RTS. I can kinda understand that. Especially when you're talking about the higher ups in this game that will be controlling the squads and the whole army and whatnot. Makes sense and I could see it having an effect to a degree.
For the record, I never meant revolutionize FPS with the scale or this really, at least not to this degree. I think the more revolutionary side of it would com...
Lol I have a hard enough time even trying to create simple platformer levels with LBP. I'd probably cry in defeat in trying to create some RPG game LBP style. Though would be awesome since I could at least play the RPGs from all those genius creators out there that are on LBP. I'm with deep though, seriously seriously doubt it, don't even know how they could make it work. I like the idea though, I don't simply want a LBP2 from them. LBP is unique enough with the user content that it can go on...
I'm not reading through all these comments, so forgive me if this has been touched upon.
Frankly, I like Sony's sort of open source manners like cmrbe stated. Here's a point to bring up though. Granted things need to be implemented, and they'd run alot further by now if Sony stepped in and made it necessary. However, you have to factor in one lil thing: MS's patents. This is for those people like IdleLee, that are taking this beyond Game Launching to stuff like voice chat and tro...
Agreed. Like I said above, if Zipper pulls it off (and Zipper is great, so I have no reason to doubt them) this could do for consoles and online shooters what GoldenEye and Halo did for console shooters originally pretty much.
@Red
SOCOM 1 was the only good one? Non-respawn? Clusterf*ck? MAG isn't a FPS SOCOM? Do you even know what you're talking about? What was wrong with 2 and 3 and CA? I hope to god you're not going to say just because of the server issues (since you adamantly pointed out it's not fair to judge a game just cause of the servers). I've enjoyed all the SOCOM games and thought all were very fun (obviously some more fun than others, but still). And you do realize respawn in very prevalent in th...
I don't know. I'm kinda torn on the boxart. I would've preferred something that implied more of a tactical style (since they are trying really hard to push it that way and keep it from being some run-and-gun crap). Plus that's what I want it for, it's actually going to be tactical. I would've preferred something like with how they did the SOCOM boxarts. Doesn't look bad though by any means, and at the end of the day I really don't care what the box looks like.
By the way, at this...
@All 3
Have you checked the sales for the ps2? How much it's selling even to this day? That's where the Sony loyalists are. Just waiting for the price to come down to make the jump. Can't tell you how many people I know in that boat.
Awesome. I bet this should be pretty cool. Be curious to see if they add some kind of mini-game to their space and if so, what it would be.
I agree with pretty much all you're saying Clintos, but jesus christ lay off the CAPS LOCK!!!!
I think y'all missed the point of that comment there. He wasn't saying they're the best at advertising. He was commenting on their character and how they are to work with personally.
Yea that all makes sense to me and sounds logical, cmrbe. I would definitely expect them to ride the 399 price for the slim upon release at least until they run out the stock of 80Gb. That would sound the most reasonable approach. I also fully understand Sony wanting to concentrate on profit as well they should. They have a business to run, they're in a good position right now, not desperate, thus go ahead and milk that high price point to recoup some of their losses. Here's where it gets tri...
I don't think he meant delayed Ravin. I think he meant the talk that originally UC2 was coming in October, now they're saying it's been moved up to September. That's the move he was referring to I'm sure. Then saying that MAG moving to next year. That's leaving a window from late October through December that can big filled with a huge game.
lol Ironic isn't it. Activision seems on their way to becoming the biggest pimps in this industry. EA at least seems to be trying to turn over a new leaf. Been putting out some good games lately, and (granted I haven't read MUCH on it) but I hear they actually make a big jump with this year's Madden as opposed to just pumping out the same thing year after year. Activision is out of hand right now. What's sad is there are people of the mentality "Well, I don't care about their business ta...
Tell me about it dude. If I made a top 10 list of games I want that are still to come this year (officially dated), probably half of them are coming out in October alone.
Oct 6: Alpha Protocol, Demon's Souls and Operation Flashpoint (I can handle to put Flashpoint off though if they announce that MAG is coming this year afterall---hopefully not October if it does lol)
Oct 13: Uncharted 2
Oct 20: Dragon's Age and Borderlands
God it's going to be a brutal ...
