Oh! I´d get HALO 4 anyday! :) I liked the previous ones, I´ll surely like this one. Good games!!
The article is "too little too vague" in terms of the reasons it quotes and how it backs up it´s own claim. This person is leaving an awful lot of information not considered to make that affirmation...
One has to wonder, when a person makes several mistakes in an article, like getting the PS3 price tag wrong or not quoting a tittle like GeoW2 as a major hit for 360 this year, if he is indeed an authority in the field to take seriously.
That was a bad a...
There is no real need for a story as compelling as that in bioshock. They are different genres (similar indeed, but different nontheless) and each holds up extremely well by their own.
It´s like a roumor stating that the next Rambo will have a much more heart-touching story than that of "I am Sam".
Bigger, Better and more Bad ass... no need for a shakespearian plot development. Just throw enemied at the player and make it a bloodbath!! :D

I think diffilcult hardware to program for is a weakness if not dealt with in a correct and efficient way (which would turn it into an easy hardware to develop for, hence, not being the case here, at least for now). If developers need 3 or more years (into the console lifespan) to get used to it and start making good use of; and in that period multiplatform titles still look and play better (in general, not every single one) on the 360 (which is all in all, less powerfull) it speaks not only ...
He should have aimed for 16 year oldies :P... Well at least in Argentina peophilia is aplicable until the girl turns 16, after that you can have sexual encounter but you cannot live with her (unless you get married) until she is 18.
I mean... unless it is really necessary for this dude that the girl is precisely 15, not a year younger, or older. Well... if indeed he is a pedophile, he sure aims for the "ilegal" so there wouldn`t be much point in pretending he aimed for ...
I REALLY LIKE THIS!!! The work they are doing is amazing. I like the HDR and lighting, they improved that over the first game. DoF has been exagerated, surelly for the sake of that added detail in the near surroundings, but I like the overall gloomy feeling it achieves. The atmospherics also look great. All in all it DOES LOOK BETTER. Also the player model seems to show off more detail.
For all those saying it looks the same... IT IS THE SAME LOCATION!!!!! GOD!! It´s the sam...
I´m not even from USA but that nigga-burglar stereotype reaches even our shores. The movies, the news, the TV... Go figure. I couldn´t care less for a person´s skin colour / religion / beliefs / sexual orientation... but it sure is funny to click this news and find... a picture of a black man :P. Call it media induced prejudice, but it sure feels less of a surprise than the picture of a white man... sad but true.
Very well put. Bubbles to you for a rational post backed with links and data, not the usual writing for the sake of it.
As for my opinion, I really don´t see the point in putting this strategy as something negative. Microsoft was 3rd last gen and it´s doing better this time. Now they say they are going to agressively invest to improve their situation (of course a spokesman will say that they want to aim for the 1st place). They have much less time than Sony or Nintendo ...
I happen to like more the way Sega made games. Right now it lost some identity in my opinion.
Sega was the best arcade maker ever. And their console games always looked more mature-aimed and more stylish.
Nintendo, while being a great developer too had more of a childish/innocent approach to gaming, with a very iconic and bright look.
Both companies have their milestones and are among the best arround. No offense but sony and microsoft are still kids in ...
God... I am so sick of childish "the game on my console looks better than the game on yours" comparissons...
You can only do that on multiplatform games, and to a certain extent. With two different games (at this level of quality) you cannot actually do that much of a side by side match up...
They both have different art styles!!! Sure, we could demand a list of the number of polygons on screen, textures and their resolutions, particle effects antialiasing,...
It looks really good.
@18... no way, still way to go to get to that trailer.
I still like GeoW2 looks over this one. IDK just preferences I guess, it´s my opinion.
Yet it still looks impressive.
You forget the reviewer is, all in all... a person, with his preferences, his likes and dislikes.
So according to this, this guy must be one every 1.000 gamer that does not think this game is perfect...
You really should deal with criticism a little better and let this "news" get the attention they really deserve... which, in my opinion, is much less.
Go treat yourself to another round of first class stealth gameplay if for one second you fee...
I share KBDuB´s opinion. I don´t see the place where gun customization could fit in this game. Unless it is too different from GeoW1 (gameplay wise). There wasn´t a stable "base" or place where you returned from time to time, neither there was any kind of workshop, be it mobile or on a fixed spot. Plus, the game had you o a constant pace and always on the move.
Maybe gears 2 has changed that a little and, in the end, this idea could have applied... who kn...
Golden Axe´s Death Adder anyone??? (arcade version)
Guybrush vs Lechuck in monkey Island 1?
Swordfight against the Swordmaster?
I used to spend big cash in that arcade :) (sighs with nostalgia).
I really think the best boss fights happened in the arcades. The thrill, the challenge of being pressed not to used another quarter, being watched over the shoulder by other players when reaching the hard levels, winning and earning their approval. Arcade...
That is really a nice gesture, I mean, there is really no need for a gesture AT ALL... it´s not like we hear companies sending cakes or gifts to each other everytime they release a new console/software/whatever.
I´m sure still trying to find the evil in it, being microsoft and all...
;P
Yup... best controller in a loooong time. A keepers for Microsoft if they have learnt a thing about gaming or two ;P. 720 should bare an almost identical design, no need to make any changes!
Maybe they can do something about it so that little kids don´t have acces to all this d1cks (not that the internet itself hasn´t provided it before)... Like putting all this one-eyed-monster-aimed-creatur es in a special "adult sharing" area. Other than that I guess it´s pretty obvius something like this would happen. I find it terribly funny in an obvious and childish way... I don´t think being mature has anything to do with creating a videogame monster with a h...
@1: playing a castlevania game with a whiping action as a must could be very much like attempting to play a one hand heavy metal drum solo. Man, that game has a lot of whiping in it... You will surely train an army of indiana joneses... :P
About the idea: Sounds great!!! I´d definitely buy that castlevania game!
Being first is just a good marketing move as many others. If they make it first, with reliable hardware, significant technical improvement and great games, I will be there. I am pro games, pro consoles, no matter what company is behind it.
Why should I ever get rid of any console??? I still Have my genesis and the sega CD model 1!! A ninty, a Dreamcast, my burnt 360 :S (swill soon get a new one) And I will have a PS3 as soon as price drops.
And anyways... 360 is far from dead.
It´s not like a house or a car... which take money to mantain... A console just takes some physical space... that´s all.
I can picture this guy buying a PSP and throwing a DS to the trashcan... noob.
