Free will, those that want to pay for it, go ahead.
Personally I want to pay for a console ONLY ONCE and then just worry about games, the wife don't give a damn about if it's 1 cent or 100 EURO per day, it's an unnecessary expense in her eyes.
Thankfully the PS3 exists and I changed to that console, no more play & charge kits, new SKUs that turns my console obsolete nor waiting for the UPC guy like a kid and going late to work...nor paying 50 EURO every year ...
No they don't...FFXIII was the biggest annoucement for MSFT this year and they droped it in the market where they still have a chance. USA.
I'll cut one of my testicles is this is not worrying news for X360 owners.
That demo and level is the same that was released a year ago, it's rather old...that "pre-alpha" text has been there forever...to put together a demo is not that easy, takes time.
The actual game will play better and what is more insane...will look better than what we have seen so far.
Kind of surprised that reviewers don't mention this fact in most of the ocasions and talks as if they played the final product....I guess if they don't get a freebie from...
...and be ready because reviewers will review Killzone2 from a diff. standpoint...it will be reviewed as a game that should revolution the FPS genre so it will get scores as low as 8 due to being "just another FPS after all"
While any Halo game is reviewed as Halo game that should surpass what the previous title offered...
while COD4 was reviewed as a COD game that should surpass what COD2-3 offered...
while Gears 2 wil be reviews as the ...
@power of Green
No one is happy nor sad. the developer was very clear, once the timed exclusivity expires they can do whatever they want with the game and I don't think they will choose to keep it X360 exclusive just because they want to help MSFT to fight against evil SONY
Personally, I'll only buy it if it's 10 bucks and knowing SONY (based on the price for other PSN gmes) I'm sure it will cost that.
You can bet on that, there are really fun PSN games for 5 bucks...and we're not talking about Atari-like ports (dig-dug, joust) but original games. This game will be 10 bucks guaranteed, probably out next summer
@BiggDaddy311
And the reason why MSFT is stuck with those 16 players is peer-to-peer...many people write that they don't experience lag in XBL that PSN is lag-free because less people, etc...with that you realize they are not even aware of Microsoft is actually using their consoles to host...they don't know what dedicated servers are nor Peer-to-Peer...
Peer-to-Peer is not bad if:
-Games controls how many players you can host according to your conn...
Yeah, unfortunately is like that, the X360 equips kids with mics so everybody has a mic and sings and all that...then developers needs to introduce a mute button...what's the point then?
people talk about it as if the experience is great but it is all the opposite, you hear so much sh*t, racist comments all the time, that's aweful and made me feel embarrased of being playing VG...don't feel identified with an online community when is like that...anyone using this as a "pos...
PSN games are not just different and great... But you can jump from one game to the other without getting up from the couch, no discs needed...after FW 2.40 you can be playing Warhawk (PSN version) and jump to GT5P by using in-game XMB or to any other PSN game or to SIREN ,and soon to SOCOM or Wipeout HD or to the BR game.
That's a great feature if you ask me
@TresTrendu
"vision since day 1"
Yeah...that's why the "new" XBL experience, Mii60s, added HDMI output, allow game installs...and to enjoy of the "new" features such as watching movies with buddies or game installs you need to get a NetFix account (only subscriber can watch movies together) and a new HD.
I see coming built-in batteries and wi-fi next year in a new SKU...last SKU, within 2 years will support HD format (BR)... and X360 ...
If only games would get cheaper because of sales figures I would actually start caring...
Isn't weird that HW gets cheaper, install base grows but games still cost the same?? and I don't think all games costs 50, 100 millions to develop...
It's about time for USD 40-45 games.
It's not a good game and today it feels even more outdated...who cares about old games when you have on the horizon amazing games like LBP, R2, Killzone2 , Motostorm:PR, Valkyrie Chronicles, Wipeout HD, SOCOM: C, inFAMOUS etc, etc?
PixelJunk Eden is really addictive, innovative and I love it but I wouldn't tell people "YOU MUST buy it" because there's a demo and if they didn't like it so it means that they didn't like it...the game is not for everybody...and besides I'm not giving them a refund if at the end they don't like the full game.
I love Megaman and I think it's great but some people just don't like platformers...you can put the godfather plot in the game if you want to and people will s...
Yeah, true. what I liked of games like LIAR, HeavenlySword, Uncharted, etc is that you unlocked "make of" videos, manga chapters, art galleries, etc, etc...stuff that usually you only get in an collector's edition was there included in these games (BR magic) so I found more value in that than in any achievements/trophies out there
Actually the ONLY game that has implemented "achievements" in a interesting way is not on the X360 nor on the PS3 but on the Wii
...
The attack of the Nerds you mean :)...my wife is one Star Trek hard fan, gets realy pissed off when I ask her "Is Chewbacca in Enterpise or Next Generation, I don't remember"...cool stuff Star Trek, myself watched the original series when I was a kid
I wish all the games had the option to set unlimited lifes or similar, my daughters want to play some PSN games I have but some are just too hard...at least a training mode where you could play around with the controls without worrying about dying...
Yeah, the attractive for me would be that they were really really secret...I never cared about achievements on the X360 in a way that I would interrupt playing just to go and collect some stuff to unlock a 10 points achievement...that for me is a turn off
What I liked was to play like nothing, never checked the achievements list, I just played as they didn't exist so it was really fun to hear that sound informing you about you just had unlocked an achievement...I accumulated 15...
The game Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Booty will cost USD 15 and without playing it nor reading any review I can already see a difference compared against the best PSN titles (that costs 5-10 bucks max)that justify those extra 5 bucks.

I'm sure Braid might be worth 15 but the problem is that the developer already said to the press that they actually wanted to p...
XBLA are 10 bucks games which in many cases that's what it counts in those reviews, what you get gor 10 bucks or 15 in this cases...I don't buy a next-gen console to play those games...good extra games but not HW sellers...you find the same amount of good "Arcade" games on XBL (among hundreads) as over the PSN (among dozens)
Remove those XBLA from the Top 20 and you see only 3 X360 exclusives against 6 PS3 exclusives
Check the exclusives in that top 20 ...
Metroid Prime series are the best FPS ever, beautiful soundtrack and the feeling of loneliness in the first one is priceless! Samus would sweep the floor with the Covenant in a matter of minutes.
Hope people supports this game marathon, I prefer this kind of news 1000 times over any Shane Kim, XBL fees, PSN vs XBL, new Lara Croft, Retired SONY SCEE guy, etc, etc "news"
