Except for the lame driving part, I enjoyed the demo quite a bit. The only obvious drawback for me was the sudden quick-time events which failed the game if you missed. Not that I don't like quick-time events, but I hate dying when I miss it because I don't know it's coming.
That video looked lame. Hey, EA, I want a new Fight Night, not this crap.
I more see it as Bungie didn't immediately want to go work on Halo 4, and M$ wanted them to do exactly that.
Whether Bungie cares about Sony or Nintendo remains to be seen, but when they split, it always seemed to me as that Bungie wanted to get away from Halo for a little while. They'd done nothing but that series for 7-8 years at that point.
And don't forget that MS still has a lot of say-so on Bungie's games for the time being. If I remember correctly, they kept r...
Our ISPs aren't going to let everyone have blazing fast internet connections in the US. Why is that? Because they would have to pay out a lot of money in infrastructure costs. And with this country's economy going down the crapper, most companies are cutting back and making customers pay even more for what they already have.
Look at Comcast cutting off heavy bandwidth users. Look at Time Warner, which has already hiked many of their prices, testing out a new "pay for what y...
Um, it's already at what, something like 13 million sold already? It'd have to completely stop selling right now to be a flop.
Granted, I don't see either it or the 360 getting the sales that the PS2 racked up, but it'll definitely recoup its money. And that's all that counts in the long run.
I totally agree. Sony's biggest fault of the last few years has mainly been two things: complacency and pride.
Complacency in that they didn't work nearly as hard to get things like exclusives because they assumed the developers would still do that for them, and they that didn't actually progress their gaming business when they had the chance, instead of waiting on someone to pass them by.
Pride in that they assumed that they didn't have to do anything simply becau...
True that. The PS2 has a huge game library with huge quality and variety within. Now the Wii is a cheap console with games that ANYONE can play, even if they barely use it.
No four hundred dollar console, no matter MS or Sony, filled with blood, guts, and a billion button controller will ever get Grandpaw Moses to pick it up the way the Wii will.
To me it seems like Sony wasted a lot of time building the commercial side of Home, with sponsorship and the like, instead of just improving the current PSN. I wouldn't have minded to wait an extra six months or year for Home if it meant getting in-game XMB, unified friends lists, etc., a year earlier.
Trophies, Home, YouTube, and things like that I could give or take, but not being to pause the game and go chat with a friend is a sin against the online gaming gods.
Hey, Saigon... I wanted to you let you know this now.... that you are a fracking retard. What I said had nothing to do with multi-core anything and had to do with processor architecture and coding.
Just so you'll know, the 360 is also multi-core, and has still proven an easier developmental platform than the PS3 has. It has three PowerPC cores, each with two symmetric threads, which is a total of six threads for your ignorant self. The CELL has one general purpose PPU, and seven...
Even if his analogy may not be very clear, what kevoncox is saying makes sense. The hardware in the 360 and PS3 are very different, and both very powerful. While CELL may have an edge in raw processing power, the coding required to fully use it is very much different than the coding in which the majority of programmers have been using their entire careers. Granted, it's all C++, but the actual cycle processes and such have to be executed very differently to make use of the very specialized SP...
I don't know about you people, but I love this guy. His games are nothing but hot chicks and ninjas, and he considers himself to be a god amongst men. What's not to love?
If this guy were a body part, he'd be a perineum.
Thank you guys for the biggest laugh of my day.
"your dad is stupider than me anyway
he stels free mini trolleys and sells them for money"
Classic.
It will largely depend on the controls if it's a great game or not. I personally am not that interested as I like my RTSs very deep and with lots of minute control... which means PC-centric.
Either way, being the title has "Halo" in it, it'll sell quite well.
No, it's not as bad as ME. Many people are on the "Hate Vista" bandwagon, but if you have a PC with good specs and disable a couple of annoying programs (VAC, especially), it's a good OS.
Amen. After a week or screwing around with Vista, it has been running this PC beautifully. Had to do the same screwing around with XP over the years.
Yeah, Vista can do everything on those screenshots with a little tweaking, so I'm not that convinced.
My prediction is that the new OS will not be accepted that much better than Vista has been. It's still going to need brand new drivers, up-to-date hardware, and be extremely finicky about using older devices. Any progression of an OS will run into these issues, and so therefore many people will still be crying when they buy a POS laptop from Costco and expect it to be the holy gr...
Well, it seems that way, but it's rather hard to narrow down a specific anti-trust action in that. Those PC makers chose to put Windows on their computers, and chose to put x86 processors inside them. These companies are all in bed together to make money from you and I, so with that much going on, it's very difficult to specify any one thing as definitively anti-trust.
As for it being specfically Vista instead of XP, yeah that's MS's decision. But it's not really any different fr...
The best-selling games usually strive to have a tinge of realism, so therefore use the muted palates that we've been seeing. Once some of those sell out the wazoo, more developers put on their "Me too!" hats and use the same color schemes.
There is a lot of variety, even within the hardcore community. It's just the most widely recognized games strive to be "realistic" and therefore use similar looks.
Imagine this: You play as ex-Secret Service me...
WTF?!? LOLOL
I don't have a problem with Christian nuts saying "pagans" are going to Hell. They can believe that all they want. I'm quite sure that Muslim extremists believe the same thing about them.
But my question is this: WTF is Rick Perry doing giving the keynote at E3 anyway? What does the governor of my state have to do with electronics? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!
