that was banned because over 650 kids in Japan had seizures when the screen suddenly started flashing and red and blue during an explosion scene.
He's doing it to get the Canadian girlies to like him. He'll probably get at least one to fall madly in love with him for his 'generosity'.
Picking up and manipulating objects and searching through bookcases and desk drawers relevant to gameplay is already being done but including such details merely because you can just to make the 'world' more realistic, is wasteful of system resources and really doesn't add much to the experience if you are supposed to be focused on the goal of reaching the end of the game. It also complicates things unnecessarily because you will be picking up and examining every object in the game instead o...
that none of those guys who had early PS3's up on ebay ever got paid. The ones that ended for like $20,000 and the winner had 3 feedbacks. One low feedback winner was high bidder in around 7 auctions and got negs for all of them for not following through. All those people who are still stuck with early units because they are getting jerked around by people with no intention of paying are getting what they deserve. Now you see guys are having their girlfriends stand naked with a PS3 box in fro...
plus if you ever manage to break the screen at some point in the future, it costs more to fix than to buy a new one. Some of the earlier plasma screens aren't even available to buy at any price, anymore, which is why you see so many cracked or shattered plasma TV's on ebay. The seller tells you it's fixable, but doesn't tell you the screen may cost from $3000-$10,000 depending on the size and model.
Everyone is going to be talking smack about it to try to steal away some of the spotlight. All I can say to that is, you don't talk down a good game unless your game is miles away better. It's like a game company saying their RPG is better than FF or their new cutesy kiddie game is more fun than Mario. There better be some truth to what they say, because gamers aren't very forgiving when they shell out 60 bucks for a crap game.
Is how the bar is constantly being raised. Just when you think you have a machine that is fast enough for all the latest games, you find out you're wrong and have to rebuild from scratch again. At least with consoles, they don't go obsolete until their replacement model comes out. It's too expensive to play anything more simple PC games anymore. I'm looking at having to build a new Vista PC soon and I know that by the time I'm done the next crop of games will come out and slow it to a crawl ...
is easily solved on the 360 with a $40 VGA cable. How much does it cost to solve it for you?? So for $200+$40 for a VGA cable (cable is even less if you buy a generic one on ebay), I can watch movies in HD WITHOUT owning an HDTV using the computer monitor that I already own. Can you do that with your precious PS3? No? Excuse me, I have some more HD-DVD's to watch while you save up for a $3000 television.
They should disclose outside the package that the game contains spyware. Telling you after you open the package and can't return it isn't good enough. I would be raising holy hell in the store that sold it to me and not leave until I got my money back.
demand for Wii is stronger than PS3, so you can charge a higher premium for Wii than you can with PS3 even though the Wii costs less. So if I can get $500 for a Wii right now, I am doubling my money. To add $250 to a 20gb PS3 increases the price by only like 50% and a 60gb by around 40%. All those people who bought PS3 as an "investment" and hasn't gotten paid yet, is going to end up losing, especially if they bought 4 or 5 of them, and don't think the stores are going to take them ...
With price drops like that there's no reason not to have an LCD TV by the end of the coming year. $399 for a 32"?? I wonder if that's with or without ATSC tuner??
Then this should also mean that Nintendo is going to be on the hook for damages and injuries from the straps that broke.
I don't understand how it can what you're doing with the hand that doesn't have a controller in it let alone how it can tell you're not moving your feet.
then why is MS cracking down on people with accounts outside their home region?? If the purpose was for Americans to have Japanese accounts and download Japanese content to show Japanese developers that there are more 360 owners in Japan than there really are, then they wouldn't be locking Americans out of downloading Japanese content.
will have a round a 10% global attach rate with the HD-DVD drive by the end of December (if you assume all those sales are going to 360 owners). Microsoft is also capable of producing them in larger numbers than Sony is capable of producing PS3's at the moment. They are also substantially cheaper for MS to produce than the PS3 is for Sony. Both the 360 and the HD-DVD player also have greater interactivity with the PC and Mac worlds than the PS3, which is where this thing is going to pick up a...
So DOAX2 comes out with a M rating but some idiot makes a nude patch and it is now AO and Tecmo gets fined even though they had nothing to do with the mod?? That doesn't sound right. What about the retailers who sold the game as an M rated game?? Do they get fined too if they sold it to anyone who doesn't meet the standard of an AO rating?? Every retailer in the country could find themselves in court. We have something about passing no ex post facto law in America, which means if I do someth...
if Lair plays like 2600 Joust but with prettier graphics. :-P Take it up with the reviewer.
the 360 has the numbers and PS3 doesn't. If anyone wants to make any money in games right now, they have to release for 360 or they cut out the majority of the market.
" There doesn't seem to be much to do aside from gliding about toasting big lizards, although you can also stomp about barbecuing enemy troops on the ground. It looks incredible though, with plenty of moody atmosphere and minute detail littered throughout levels. The ground beneath you teems with scrapping soldiers and there's a general feeling of bloody chaos, which is always nice. But unless some more can be found for players to do - and there's time yet - this might be fiery eye candy...
All the focus groups in the world can't help you when you make big promises that you can't deliver on.
