come back off vacation to some Valve news :D Can't wait for E3!
possibly the best move sony made in their earlier years was picking up good talent for 1st party devs. But as for 2nd party and 3rd party exclusives that ship has sailed. Both the xbox and sony brands have more than enough support for both to be in this race for a long time.
Redrum; I don't necessarily agree or disagree but your assessment of a successful MSFT game is a bit misconstrued. What game has sold more than 2-3 million I don't know exactly but I do know that a MSFT platinum hit is a game that has sold more than a mil in it's first 9 months so aside from halo/gears. we have:
Ace Combat 6
Banjoe and Kazooie
Condemend
Crackdown
DoA 4
Dead Rising
Fable II
Forza
Kameo
I've been accepted to get into the Onlive beta for 1 year free. I approach Onlive carefully. I don't expect a lot from it and for 14.99 a month It would surely need something to attract hardcore and casual gamers. We shall see how it performs.
LOL the N4G podcast is one of the few things that has kept me on this site for so long.
let's see:
google chrome is the default browser for the Vaio brand
Sony adopts Google TV.
Intel created the cell
Intel is a Google partner.
I have an android phone :D
Sony + Google = me a very happy geek.
I have HTC hero and next friday I'll be rocking the HTC evo. My buddies and I are pretty split between Iphone and Android. I have no 'real' issues with iphone and if it ever comes to sprint I'll have to do some comparisons but as of now the Hero does what I need it to do and since I live in a Sprint 4g market the evo will do even more.
Let's see here; so far everyone is basing ND's success on Uncharted 2. time for a history lesson. Naughty Dog created Crash Bandicot one of the last great mascots who directly took on the plumber and hedgehog and was somewhat successful. They created Jak and Daxter one of the marquee franchises for the playstation brand and now they have recently created the Uncharted series with 2 going down as of one of the games that defined this generation. If not the best they are definitely ...
I personally respect apple for a few things, but I hate them for a lot more.
However Apple in the Vidja game biz would be interesting. You can't deny their fanbase that's for sure.
read the article please....
sudden suspension of one's unemployment check will do that to you. I think MSFT sent the same guys in dark suits to his house that Acti sent to the IW office.
KZ2 is a gorgeous game and I'm really enjoyed the first one linearity be damned, but KZ2 just didn't hold me long enough to beat beat the game. I'm on the last level in KZ2 still haven't been motivated enough to beat it. Until know that is with the announcement of KZ3. I had no complaints with KZ2 with the exception of the controls and that's only because I don't like how shooters outside the cod franchise are mapped to the dualshock. I really hope Sony releases a ...
few things to note. Insomniac does not make games. They make franchises. Based on Teddy P's many articles since the ea partners announcement he has basically said he wants to build this new IP as another franchise. I strongly disagree the game will fail? EA has no control over the franchise other than the fact that they will publish the game. Insomniac will give the game the same love and attention they gave R&C or resistance. One could argue they'll give this new IP more T...
if that price is indeed accurate. This is what we call Corporate Suicide. I see why J. Allard left his vision is being tainted by corporate greed.
sony has a knack for going for after small dev's who have big dev potential. Take GG for example. Sony saw something in them after Shellshock Nam which was multiplat and a pretty average game. I didn't think they could make a AAA game but the killzone franchise has proven me wrong
I agree but hopefully MSFT will continue to bridge the gap between pc and console gamers. I hope Fable III is cross platform I want to get that for the pc but still be able to play with my 360 owning friends.
we'll have to wait and see. I STILL remember "trying" to play Sly cooper in 3D and not being impressed. Tech has come a long way since then though.
the chip wasn't removed only downgraded, but I do agree with what your saying. However if MSFT markets NATAL to only the soccer mom i.e casual crowd they may have a trojan horse to get the 360 into some additional homes. Of course I'm just speculating and playing devils advocate to your comment. I do agree though "bring on E3".
people comparing the original xbox's lifespan to the 360 have a right to do so, but from the comments a lot of people don't understand why MSFT did it. Now I'm not saying MSFT was right but I understand why they did it. Peter Moore, Bach, and many others have explained it time and time again. Biggest reason was the xbox even at 4 years old was still losing them money. forget the "console" race the product at 4 years old was making them no money. Even if they wanted ...
I'll be glad when gamers can look past this natal vs move debate simply because each is a byproduct of the system they support. Open your eyes people both are nothing more than quick cash-ins to try and steal wii marketshare. If they were serious about this motion crap sony would have invested more in the eyetoy and MSFT more in the vision cam. Half the people here defending one or the other know they aren't gonna buy either peripheral. Most people here aren't playing wii spor...
