Intel Core i7 2600 costs $300 and decent hard drives cost more than 100 bucks currently because of the floods in Thailand.
I hope they don't plan to do this by laying off employees and moving their manufacturing to Sri Lanka where labor is even cheaper than in China.
Because of the constant demand for share growth and business expansion, corporations are always looking for ways to maximize profits and efficiency and cut costs.
Yeah, Uncharted 1 did look great. But did Naughty Dog ever come out and say that the reason Uncharted looks great is because the PS3 is difficult to develop for? How does the difficulty in developing the game produce a better-looking product?
Software optimization doesn't require the console to be difficult to program for. It requires the developer to work on the same hardware for a number of years, with the external pressure of competing against other game developers ...
Yeah, but the point you're making basically refutes the CEO's argument as well. He said that they don't make the easy-to-program-for hardware because then everyone would exploit it immediately.
The 360 shows that this isn't true. It is considered to be easy-to-program-for, yet over times games have gotten more sophisticated for the 360, as a result of the developers optimizing their code and engine software.
Thus, Sony didn't need to mak...
They certainly look real. The weird unnatural glow around the character edges that causes them to stand out of the environment is off-putting, though.
"only those that don't want to see have been ignoring this, while the sane amongst us"
Haha. Come on, man. You sound like a cult member.
Sony as well. Just last week.

This is just a reflection of how terrible the economy is. Unemployment rates hitting record highs in Europe. Half the people in Spain are jobless. And sadly, the floods in Thailand, which probably displaced many and killed many, are also hurting businesses, and thus people are so apathetic to the plight of the people there. Even me. Today on Newegg I was looking up hard drives and was pissed that the prices had gone up (as a result of the floods in Thailand). Then it hit me that while I...
Unless he's a big fan of Halo or something. In which case, buying a PS3 wouldn't help him.
not good in general or not good for you?
I think PS3/360 have done about all they can do without developers making huge concessions. Nothing can wow me on consoles anymore.
"When did I say that....<sigh>"
I was replying to gamingart, who did say that. Not everything is about you, Pam. But, in response to your controller excuses, I'll just repost something you said.
"Remember Sony Capcom....the PS1 which you made RE and RE fans on and it became a major success for the company."
That speaks volumes. Capcom has no obligation to Sony. And it wasn't just Playstation fans who supp...
That's called brand loyalty. The same game on a different platform isn't somehow worse for being on a different platform... Saaking?
Edit: The fact that there are platform fanbases who give that much of a crap to involve themselves in the politics of the game industry is highly disturbing to me. If you like a game, play it. A timed demo is a slap in the face for you? A DEMO? Capcom doesn't care, they're in it for the money. You're supposed to be in...
If Bungie is really making an MMO, they are truly delusional. The MMO market has such a high barrier to entry.
Well, at least this piece provided some support for its claim that Resi 4 and Gears are two series that do seem to play off each other.
If the "true blue" fans of the original Resident Evil/Biohazard games want Capcom to stick to the original formula, then they're going to have to sign contracts with Capcom, promising to purchase 2 or 3 copies of each game they make.
The industry has always been about following the money. In this economy, being...
Kind of not believable because none of the rumors about the 720 were credible, so whoever comments about PS4 rumors in relation is not credible. Also, I don't think Sony can afford to release really powerful hardware at a loss this time around.
Yeah. I think that's called selective attention, combined with a persecution complex.
I don't think people complained that KZ2 was hard. They just didn't like the input delay.
I don't think any game is worth 65 bucks. I don't buy games used but I don't buy them full price, either. As long as EA doesn't disable the online pass codes in discounted copies of the game 6 months from now, I have no problem.
And the publishers are generous philanthropists with sensitive souls.
Grown adults fight over this. Grown men with wives and children of their own fight over this.
The phenomenon is called BIRG (or BIRGing) which stands for Basking in Reflected Glory. They count themselves as part of a group, and vicariously enjoy in the successes of a group that in reality they are not part of. It's like football fans. When your favorite team wins, you say, "WE won!!!" But when your favorite team loses, you say, "THEY lost."
