"this industry is built on games being fun."
It does not matter what the industry is 'built on'; what matters is how the industry operates here and now.
"Hype killed this industry."
You can certainly make the argument that the current business model is harmful to the industry at large, but my point still stands. Developers go where the hype is and go away from where it is not. This is the model that the indu...
"Sony has ALL rights to sell their stuff to other place with ANY criteria."
Yes, and once someone has bought that stuff, it is the *consumer's* right to use that stuff however they want as long as that use is not in the service of illegal activity.
"if Sony decides to say "OK we will not sell our products to all Canadians! by law you shouldn't be able to do anything about it other than cursing Sony"
Nop...
"Sin & Punishment 2-No mention for the first?"
It would be kind of silly to mention an N64 game, even the best one, in a list of Wii games.
"Actually breaking a TOS is against the law as it is like breaking a contract."
That does not matter because applying license-style TOS to a physical good is of invalid legal-reasoning that, as this case proved, will not fly in court even when argued by million-dollar corporate litigators.
"The only problem is it is hard to prosecute someone for breaking a TOS."
It is not a problem that it is hard to prosecute people...
"Wii hasn't had a good year since 2007 when brawl and metroid 3 came out."
Brawl was 2008. Also, Brawl was terrible.
Absolutely wonderful news.
The cases in America will probably turn out the same way, and once we get those precedents down in law, it will be easier for the modding community to get the courts to rightfully strike down the Big Three's anti-homebrew policies and firmware updates. We're bringing freedom back to consoles.
Yes we can.
"Jailbreak's only purpose is to hack PS3"
If by 'hack', you mean 'enable piracy', you are 100% wrong.
Using Jailbreak to download copies of a game I have not purchased is piracy.
Using it to download and implement a fan-translated patch that will allow me to play in English a game that I have legally-imported from Japan is not. Period.
Please do not talk about something you do not know ...
"This can be the best year"
It could be, but that would require a *lot* of stars aligning and a lot of variables turning out just right.
It could just as easily be the worst -- more easily, actually, since all that would require would be for Nintendo to do nothing about its crap localization policies.
"Then ad Zelda last story dragon quest."
Last Story is not confirmed for a localization.
Gosh, those might be some of the most hideous character designs in recent memory.
Oh, well, still hoping this comes to the West in some form.
"How the fuk would Call of Duty ever win a GOTY? Its not possible since CoD4."
If I recall correctly, Modern Warfare 2 won one from Gametrailers last year.
"other m deserved the award"
That's not how you spell Sin and Punishment 2.
Bayonetta was better than everything on that list. Especially Kinect, but especially Bart.
"If Sin and Punishment 2 did, so will this."
Yeah, but when Sin and Punishment 2 was localized, Sin and Punishment 2 hadn't bombed like an atomic blast at retail yet.
The same can't be said for The Last Story.
"The biggest priority for the next iteration of the Wii will surely be supporting HD graphics to bring parity with the current generation Xbox and PlayStation."
I certainly hope not. Their biggest priority with any hardware upgrade *should* be creating a solid online infrastructure that actually meets 2010 standards. Every other feature should be viewed as secondary to that purpose.
Awesome. Bookmarked.
"The only real creative thing about Mario Galaxy is the use of sphere worlds to cutdown on the Wii's problem of bad camera angles and nasty cornering. The first one was fun for the same exact game as every other one, and the sequel is a carbon copy of the first one with Yoshi."
See, if you had actually played Galaxy 2, you would have noticed that 95% of the game played in standard, non-spherical levels, and you would realize the sheer absurdity of what you jus...
1. Call of Duty: Black Ops
2. Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood
3. Just Dance 2
4. Madden NFL 11
5. Fable III
6. Donkey Kong Country Returns
7. Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit
8. Gran Turismo 5
9. NBA 2K11
10. Wii Fit Plus
The moral of the story here is that publishers should really just forget about new IPs.
Yeah, at this point, Graces should not really be a high priority entry on any running 'desired localization' lists. There are some good, talented folks handling a fan translation for both versions of it right now.
A better direction of effort would be toward getting the next game over here.
I think that when we look back on this time from the future, we will determine that the vast majority of high-scoring games this generation were overrated.
"In 2011, Sony and third-party developers will be creating even more Playstation Move-compatible games, like... SOCOM 4, Little Big Planet 2, Killzone 3, Infamous 2 and the highly anticipated Playstation Move Heroes"
Hey, remember that time when the PS3 had the Sixaxis, and that was compatible with games that made really good use of it like Flower and Ratchet and Clank, and then everyone went and bought games like Just Dance instead?
There is a...
