Oh but Thammer, you should be really happy, cause from this day on NOBODY will ever call Halo3 "Halo 2.5 in HD" again.
The world according to TheMart:
Sony marketing writes 720p on a box when its 640p (upsacaled to 720p) = "OMG SONY IS LIEING TO US THEY ARE THE EVIL liars overpromise, underdeliver"
Microsoft marketing writes 1080p on the box when its 640p (upscaled to 1080p) = "Its perfectly legit, nothing to see here, Bungie is doing all right its all SONYS fault blabla coverup"
I beg to differ:
If you see jaggies or any other "flaws" it's because you are actively looking for them.
nono, If you see jaggies or any other "flaws" it's because they ARE THERE.
Only fanboys claim that stuff that is there isn't or that stuf that is not there, is.
First of all, Mesh, PLEASE for heavens sake use a spell checker next time, it was hard work reading through your blabber due to the horrible spelling. N4g even offers a button on the upper right corner of the comment box to spell check your writing, USE IT.
On your post(as far as it was understandable):
A little matrix for you, so you actually know what we are talking here.
1080p = 2073600 pixel on screen per frame
720p = 921600 pixel on screen per frame
...
I'll contribute a comment so the zombie rumour post may reach 400+, always good for a laugh.
Hmm, so they pilfered them self an empty MGS4 show case and have the nerve to call it "Collectable" ( ain't it "collectible"?) and got a handful of free promo material from Sony on a "here, take this marketing crap stuff and stop pestering me" basis.
And then they set up a $2 entry fee competition.
And someone would even sign up for that?
I have seen worse fund rising moves, but not many.
Oh man, he didn't even spell "Media Create" right while writing the news title.
creating an US account does not take longer than 5 minutes ....
Doesn't make it a less good game imho. People should quit the whining and give kudos to Bungie instead for making a good game, again. Sure, my focus is on other games then shooters, but to each one his own.
Still all the nitpicking "news" together with the praising blabber take up way to much space on n4g imho and i will like it better when the marketing train and fanboy biatchfights are gone in e few weeks.
Makes absolutely no sense.
No sane Distributor will volunteerly delay a product to just AFTER the X-Mass sale, and release in the low sale months of March-April.
But thats what you get when you survey gamers, who, be realistic, have no ounce of business sense and most of them never made a more binding decision in their life then what burger to buy at BK. These kind of people are surely the ones to ask regarding a solid business decision about a multi million doll...
Man, are we now to get every single "we do not comment on pure rumor and speculation" statement Sony sends to asking individuals posted over here as "News" ?
Its getting ridicules, especially considering that all pages do nothing else than quoting the original rumor page and add nothing new.
A small correction there: it is NOT on any index, it just did not receive a rating, the rest fits, as unrated is automatically an AO rating.
Now that question is answered quite easily: http://cens.com/cens/html/e...
That is the source of the whole rumor that managed to get turned and spun by several places so it seemed like several sources reported it. But actually only this single source is all that is existing.
I will believe it when i see it, and not a moment before
lets quote from the article, shall we: "And apparently that's that; there's no development problem with one platform, no last minute features to be added - just bug-swatting and elbow grease to go."
that should shut up the droids from both fancamps
there is no need to be a competitor for 2nd Life, cause second life is DEAD in business terms.
Its a hype driven fad. Nothing happens in 2nd life, it stopped being hip when people realized how stunningly ugly it is, and that furries roam all over it.
Even the 80% would not be EARNINGS but revenue. So according to you the 10 million Halo boxes materialized out of thin air in some Microsoft warehouse, prolly delivered by the master chief himself from the future ...
hmm, a nice fantasy number in a world where products cost ZERO to manufacture, and where shops sell it without a profit margin for them self
i thought at least the LA times would hire people who have a basic business understanding, not milkmaids
my poor mans calculating skills come up with
$70 per unit * 10 million units = $700million total revenue (SALES ARE NOT EARNINGS)
now deduct around $10-$20 per unit in shop profit, most like...
imho the nunchuk cable is a bit on the short side for the real Samba de Amigo feeling :p
They should rather make a new set of maracas
imho "this christmas" sounds as timed as UT3s "this year"
But i won't buy it anyways, i have other genres on my focus for this holiday
