Don't let it bother you. This site is overrun with people who claim to be true gamers that can't argue objectively and post statements with the intelligence of a 10-15 year old. You just have to ignore them, and write for the mature gamers.
...hence, "broke people" make Sony & MS richer, too. I do not understand your negative connotation there. Sony and MS have no discrimination against "broke people's" money. And is nothing wrong with playing last gen games, I play God of War II on my PS3 regularly, and Halo 2 is one of the highest played games on Xbox Live (many of whom are playing on 360's).
No, I hope to be playing on a PS4 by then-, but its nice to have the option to play on which ever system you want. Also, how about the lower income bracket? How many of those people who can't afford a PS3 would love to have a price discounted one in eight years? Let's not forget that, unlike pc's, consoles do not multi-task and the technology inside current consoles should still produce some pretty killer looking games. Plus, I predict that developers will still be finding ways to juice every...
Interesting. This is already common knowledge, but I think it helps fortify the theory, that MS has no problem at all phasing out their current machines once they have a new one. We all know, based on trends and behaviors, what MS will do once this supposed XBox 3 in development is released. Bye-Bye 360. Personally, while the XBox didn't have the graphical muscle of the 360, I can attest that it was certainly a more stable machine-never gave me RROD's. And it certainly had more life left to i...
Damn, I had to log in just to so I could add Joke's On You to my ignore list. What a classic example of the quintessential X-Bot. And to those of you who think "Sony is scared because Halo 3 is coming (what a ten year old way of thinking), " just know that one game does not win a console war. Halo 3 will make plenty of money, but it is a fad that will die down-just like Halo & Halo 2-and when the fad dies down, guess what?- the console war will still be here (and Microsoft Game ...
You just don't understand, do you?
...and agreed. But I want to make it clear that I do, indeed, beleive that while PS3 development cycles currently produce that which would be on par with the 360(undoubtedly due to porting), I was refering to, just as you, that the potential of the console has not even been scratched yet.
Peace.
I don't care what this bozo says, its a sheer poppycock and rhetoric. I say let's let the format wars (just like the console wars) play itself out before we start speculating who the victor is. Fact is, most consumers don't give a hoot, or aren't even aware of the business side of the player they buy- and so far I believe Blu Ray is the consumer choice (regardless of Speilberg and Paramount<which has its limitations, as well>).
If there are any games that I want, which you make, I will use Utorrent- you're not getting any of my money. See you later EA, I have to add a cracked EXE file to BFME. FU!
I wanted to add, in general, how unprofessional and unorthodox it is for a game company to use a word like "sucks" as an adjective for another console. It is not the place for a game making company to make mocking statements toward another hardware. A responsible company would make objective statements that exclude bashing (that can be done here on this flameware site). When Phil Harrison was asked about his views on the 360 hardware problems, he replied the way a good business pers...
Ah, the notorious Maddens Raiders (I watched Plunkett & Co when I was a kid)
I hold an AAS in Network Systems Administration, and am certified in A++. I, by no means am making a bias statement. You can read my post for the "Problems in HD with the 360 % PS3" article if you want to see how I illustrate the PS3 being more "powerful." Ultimately, your observation is correct, hence, the developer saying the hardware is the same jolted me- because it is BS. A...
1. EA sucks.
2. PS3 is NOT the same in terms of hardware, with 360. PS3 is ultimately the better hardware with its broader range GPU, more pixel/texture fillrate, etc...
3. This article is flameware.
4. EA developers are lazy, and ultimatley inept- as only good and skillful developers can develop EFFICIENTLY for every hardware.
5. Sony and Phil Harrison have gone on record to assure everyone that this "360 porting" phenomenon ...
but its power reamains dormant until developers learn how to use it (which will happen), and quit lazily porting games from the 360 to it. According to Mr. Harrison this porting phenonenon should end soon, as Sony is currently planning to facilitate the efforts of developers- then users should be able to markedly see a difference.
but MS pulled the plug on the Xbox 1 prematurely, while Sony has continued making games for PS2 and found ways to squeeze every once of rendering capability out of it. Just look at how beautiful God of War II is. Besides, that was "last gen, " and has no bearing on this gen whatsoever- except that MS could potentially pull the plug on the 360 when new tech becomes available.
especially the Xbots, bragging and gloating about 60fps Madden and the ilk, but they don't understand, or ignore the specs/information that the 360 has basically hit its peak. There's no point to taking pride in a machine that has bottlenecked out.
Interesting article. I'm glad to know that my mid-range Geforce 6800GS PC (which I built a year ago) has a broader GPU bandwitdth(and is an all around better machine) than the 360's X1600XT (pathetic) equivelent. Granted, the 360 doesn't have to multi-task like a pc- but its lack of speed communicating with the CPU (L2 cache is unusable, everything stored in RAM) makes it a workhorse (which is probably why it overheats so much <weak 12watt fan doesn't help either>). I have never liked A...
After the wayMS burned me with thier current console, I will never by another product from them again. I don't care if the new console has 20 cores! Speaking of getting burned, that is exactly what MS will do to the current 360 fans when the new console comes out. Hope you Xbots love your company, because they don't love you.
You don't own a PS3 you lying sack of shyte.
I get EGM because it was the best choice with my Gamecrazy MVP card. Though, Gamestop sux, thier magazine, Game Informer, is superior in every way. The staff at EGM, I have noticed, are predominantly 360 Fanboys, and I have noticed that thier mag and counterpart website, 1up, is ridden with bias. I rarely take heed to anything say say until I can verify it with more credible sources. As for thier reviews, they are a joke. I have played numerous games that they scored low- that have turned out...
