I've been saying this a while, but fanboys don't listen. The delta on a global basis (sold to actual users of the product -- not to stores and such) is over 7 million units. The PS3 needs to begin outselling the 360 on a GLOBAL basis by approximately 500,000 units a month, starting NOW, to catch the 360 in 14 months. That would be a best case scenario of early 2009 and again, assumes that not only does the PS3 start outselling the 360 by 500K/month, it starts right now.
In r...
Please, get rid of the bull$hit articles about hd dvd and blu ray. I don't care any more! I'm not buying anything HD until they are priced the same as regular DVD and their is a clear and unquestionable winner. Until then, PLEASE!!!!!! this is a gaming site!
that so many PS3 games lately have been all over the map reviews-wise? Gamespot and IGN were 7/10 and 9/10 respectively. There are other 9s and several 5s out of 10... I know it is to each his own, but PS3 games seem to polarize people into an either love it or hate it...
Forza 2's physics engine is not just great... It is better than anything that has come before it by A MILE. Yes, better than GT4 and everything else. If you read the reviews, you'll find that non-biased reviewers pretty much say the same. Is GT4 a great game? Yep, it is. Will GT5 be a great game? I highly expect it. But to all the fanboys who bash Forza 2 (and those who bash GT5 without having even seen it) need professional counseling. Forza 2 is great... period. Unless you have pla...
An intercooler for your can of mountain dew.
contains a total of 10 copies of software sold and a handful of consoles. I wouldn't make too much of it.... take a peek at global trends instead, eh?
In call of duty you kill actual people and it is a Teen rating. The situations in COD are far more mature and realistic simulations of human combat. Halo is a sci-fi shooter that is no worse than any edition of star wars or similar genre and really shouldn't be anything more than Teen.
Maybe N4G could create a blade for this war and keep it out of the gaming forums. I'm sick of reading about the battle as I frankly don't give a damn who wins. Someone other than Master Chief needs to finish the fight so we can move onto what's next.
1- Super Mario Galax7 (Wii)
2- COD 4 (Multi)
3- Assassin's Creed (Multi)
4- Rock Band (Multi)
5- Mass Effect (360)
6- Ninja Gaiden Dragon Swords (DS)
7- Uncharted Drakes Fortune (PS3)
There ya go.
I hope this game delivers as hack n slash RPG hybrids are my absolute favorite genre by far... This one looks great but I hope they get the framerate locked at 30fps or better. If it has any framerate issues whatsoever, I'll walk the other way fast as I hate playing jerky games... Note to SK. No framerate issues and you'll sell millions. Poor framerate and you will get hammered just like Lair on the PS3 did.
I would love to see some actual numbers for all the consoles and how the 40 did vs. the 60 gig.
Basically it looks a heck of a lot like a cartoon version of Halo but with more varied battles. It looks fun, fun, fun... The framerate appears to be high as well.
In that Kotaku said it was bland and figured the game was going to be a a "mess" based on the Video from Game Trailers. This is the second or third hands-on that has stated that there is a lot more going on that what appears on the surface...
This suit makes no sense. MS is an American company and they aren't harming Korean operating system manufacturers as there aren't any. This is just a power play by the Korean government to capitalize on Microsoft's widely publicized antitrust suits elsewhere and pick up a little cash. 90 billion won is about $90 million which isn't worth the litigation. Microsoft figures they will just pay the "fine" and go about business as usual. Look at it as extortion or a bribe...
What fool wouldn't take that offer?
I know that sounds nuts, but I don't think it will cannibalize the 60 gig. The 60 gig is 100% hardware backward compatible and has every feature available. It also has a bigger hard drive... When a person actually makes the mental commitment to buy a $399 device and realizes BC and a bigger hard drive are $100 more, it's not much of a stretch. This is an example of loss leaders in stores... Get em in on the cheap one and upsell them. I'm quite certain the 40 gig will increase 60 gig sale...
Frys has it on their website. http://shop2.outpost.com/pr...
It has been on their for a few days now...
I would not have bought my Wii if it wasn't backward compatible. I didn't own the original Xbox but there were some titles I wanted to play -- i.e. the Halo series on my 360 before I bought it. Without backward compatibility, I would not have bought it. Period. Now onto the PS3... I have a PS2, but I'm out of inputs on my TV and simply and not going to add another device without getting rid of another. I guess I'm a cheap bastard because I refused to even pay 399 for my 360. When I got ...
And I'm still on Standard Def. I need a high def TV so I can take in fully what next gen games have to offer...
Forza 2's handling and physics are far from floaty. They are the most realistic physics in any game out currently. Period. If you have truly spent any time playing it, you would most certainly know it. The sense of "realism" in Forza 2 is above and beyond any other title and was a quantum leap forward in racing simulators. GT5 had better deliver on the physics and handling side of the equation first, and graphics second. Obviously if they can do both, that's great, but after p...
