Yeah, but this is different. See, the thing with Microsoft is that their greatness is second only to The Lord Almighty so a few thousand redundancies mean nothing. Sony on the other hand are about 2 weeks away from going completely bankrupt so them cutting jobs is obviously an indication of just how close to dropping they are.
At least that's what N4G told me... And N4G wouldn't lie, would it?
No, you don't. It's just after the most recent update that you had to spend all of 5 minutes redownloading the different spaces.
But no, 5 minutes is ridiculous! I would LITERALLY of had to leave them background downloading while I talked to some people or gone away and made a nice bit of toast. Pathetic!
Not exactly 'game-breaking', though are they?
Although, I'll admit there are a lot of glitches in the game.
I Also think that the headline is really misleading. It won't erase save data, it just won't save it in the first place, so anything you've got so far is completely safe.
lol, you have no idea do you...
No no, you're right, it's all about the dancing in Home...
...Beta means "NOT THE FINISHED PRODUCT". You can throw around your examples of things that spend years in Beta but I can give you thousands of examples of things that go through Beta quite quickly. Like EVERY SINGLE GAME EVER RELEASED for a start.
Anyone who expected Home to be everything and more when it entered Open Beta was either ignorant or kidding themselves. It's only disappointing if you got it into your head that what he have now was intended to be the finishe...
You don't have friends then?
Doing that is all fine until you get the urge to do things with people on your friends list.
That's probably why they haven't got one. They know we'll just attack them.
What do you expect people to do? I'm not happy with how SCEE are treating us, but I'm not going to burn my PS3 in protest because of it.
Do you think SCEE realise that they're really pretty badly behind SCEA and SCEJ when it comes to... everything?
If SCEE didn't have such a shocking track record of under-delivering I'd be willing to give them the benefit of the doubt here. They're the ones actually making Home so maybe they don't have as much time to go about getting all of these special areas and features. Like I said, I WOULD believe that if I wasn't already pretty disillusioned with them and there support. For...
I wish I was like a lot of you and was able to completely remove the human aspect from all of this. Now we don't know for sure what's going on here but seen as how this discussion seems to be based on the "fact" that the 360 is getting the game before the PS3, I will run with it, for the sake of argument.
Sure, MS can pay companies to release things earlier on their platform and this makes total BUSINESS sense. Basically free money for the publisher. However, that isn't...
TBH though, if a developer decides that it's loyal fanbase can get the game later than randoms who own the other console because there's more money to be had that way, I think you have the right to be angry. You can say it's all about running a business but if that's the case then why the hell don't Sony, Ninty and MS all join together, make one console and charge whatever they like for it? The consumer doesn't have a choice and Sonintenosoft (WOW!) get huge piles of cash.
If you...
Exactly, all of these articles call it Home. It's not Home, it's Home Open BETA! It is not the finished product, it is a trial to test the servers so that things can be improved upon. Christ, it even has the word 'beta' on the signing in screen that you have to look at while you attempt to log in.
The thing is though, there is a wide range of blocking and reporting options when you press select so if you really don't want to be around these people, you can arrange it. That's not an excuse to do it though and I think these people should be permanently removed from Home and maybe even the PSN.
Was the last PS3 game you played Rainbow 6 or something? "Jaggy ports" just aren't an issue any more.
At 1.11:
Are you suggesting that the reason people don't like the PS3 is because it's the console that all the fanboys own? If you honestly believe that then you are seriously misinformed. Every console has it's fair share of fanboys and they're all as bad as each other.
The rest of what you say makes total sense though. Borrowing other companies ideas (not copying them wholesale, though) is something I have no problem with as long as it's not all that company does. ...
If anything's going to sink the PS3 it's ridiculous articles like this spreading false doom prophecies about the place. People will begin to actually listen to these BS articles and question whether buying a PS3 would be a good idea.
I don't understand where this underlying hatred for the PS3 comes from! It's just pathetic.
360 feels like 1945 hardware in 2008... Is what I'd say if I was feeling nasty, but I'm not so I will just continue to pity this man and his little mind. I bet everything's so much simpler in his world.
While I agree that Sony like to shaft us EU dwellers, I think that the only reason it says US in the title is that the info came from SCEA. They tend not to get involved in EU dealings and wouldn't mention us whether Home was coming out here this year or not, so we shouldn't assume the worst just yet.
Really though, these pictures do it no justice. Killzone 2 in motion is a sight to behold. The second set of screens are much richer than the first and the extra colour fits well. Really though, it's not the colours on show that make KZ2 so beautiful. It's the resolution, the depth of field, the motion blur, the lighting and the silk smooth animation. When you're playing it you can almost feel the gun in your hands.
Edit: Wow, that sounded really fanatical. KZ2 is just gorgeous....
ROFL.
"Jones? Who's that man dancing behind you?"
"Erm, that's the company CEO... He does that..."
"Fair enough. Anyway, after this, lets all dress like women and invade the Bowling Alley!"
"Sounds good to me!"
