The thing that's most annoying about these type of sensationalism articles is that the authors always compare the 3DS to the iPhone, and act like a market for dedicated gaming devices doesn't exist anymore. Um sorry, but the market still exists. The reason the iPods are selling so well is because they are multifunctional pocket computers for 199 dollars with excellent media capabilities, and their install base isn't comprised of just "gamers" therefore they have a larger...
Uh let's see, there was the Atari Lynx, there was the Nomad, there was the Turbo Express, there was the Gamate, there was the Neo Geo pocket, there was the Wonderswan, there was PSP....oh and let's not forget there was also the Game Gear.
Nintendo has never faced competition in handhelds before the PSP eh? Lol, it might be helpful if you actually had a f-ing clue what you were talking about moron.
They sure don't make em like that anymore (my avatar should mean something).
I'm glad everyone who hasn't played Xenogears yet will now have the chance to, and really see what is the pinnacle of video game storylines.
But I'm more concerned about whether Nintendo will finally release XENOBLADE over here, lol. Because according to those who have played it, Takahashi still DOES make em like he used to. Maybe not quite like Xenogears, but prett...
This doesn't change anything. This guy is still a douchebag. And I seriously doubt anything about this article is genuine. More likely, either damage control for their terrible reputation amongst PS3 users, or just flamebait for hits.
I like how he starts with Forza is superior to GT5, Halo better than any console shooter, etc.
Ok. And thats why all the car enthusiasts always place Gran Turismo above everything else, and Polyphony has a level of respe...
For all you know he could have gotten a pulmonary embolism. That can happen from sitting still for long periods of time, blood can sometimes clot in your legs from remaining still and then go up into your pulmonary artery and cause you to just collapse like that the way he did.
So if you're going to have extra long gaming marathons, make sure you at least stand up and move around for a little bit every few hours.
But Square is ultimately crap now BECAUSE of Sakaguchis departure. I'm not so sure Square would have fallen off so bad if it weren't for the departure of Sakaguchi as well as the merger with Enix and putting Yoichi Wada in charge. Those two things killed Square. If things had remained the same, god only knows what SQUARESOFT would be like today.
Hell yea, at least this means we'll probably be seeing this next year. Thank GOD, I was really starting to worry about Xenoblade. Last Story I always felt would come here, there was no question about that.
Here's what I want to see. Entirely original new JRPGs that are on the same level of old classics like FFVII and Chrono Trigger. I know there will be at least one out there. The things people can do never cease to amaze me.
Let's see, GT5 with a Logitech G27 or a video camera with gesture based controls lacking any sort of force feedback.
Yea pretty sure they already lost the "realism" department. Nothing comes close to a high quality force feedback wheel, certainly not kinect. And Microsofts Xbox wheel (which is practically the only wheel for 360) doesn't even compare to the likes of a G27.
Why not go ask the real racing sim fans and experts. There's a ch...
Just about every important game designer from IW are with Respawn. These are the important people who actually designed the gameplay system, so to think that with more creative freedom they couldn't design another groundbreaking FPS would be stupid, especially now that they are motivated to beat their own creation. And they also aren't being controlled by the idiots at Activision. Don't forget that Acti hampered their creative freedom a lot, like how IW wanted COD2 to actually ...
Square releasing these old classics is really a look back into just how badly Squaresoft has fallen from grace. They used to be the premier console developer, and now look at them.
I doubt they will release Xenogears here though. I think we need to worry more about Nintendo releasing Xenoblade here more than anything :(. I'll be very upset if Nintendo doesn't localize that, because I've heard its his best work since Xenogears.
Its funny how the stupid people who don't know anything about racing in real life or in video games like to say that GT5 "feels slow" blah blah.
This video shows just how much faster and more realistic the sense of speed is in GT5. And even the subtle things too, like when you're going 140 mph and the car gets a little bumpy and shakes a little. GT5s cockpit was shaky at 100+ while in Forza the cockpit was just as settled going 140mph as it was going 20 mp...
God this guy is an idiot sometimes. I highly doubt Apple will make a 3D iPod. Though they HAVE patents for glasses free 3D tech from way back in 2006, and this year patented glasses free 3D that can be viewed from any angle, which would be a huge improvement.
But it's doubtful they'd even do this anytime soon, and probably not in an iPod. The patents showed it being applied for desktops and other things.
this clown just says whatever thought passes th...
They're strictly talking about a new class of product. So they're talking about when the product first launches. iPhone 4 doesn't count.
Why in the hell is MS comparing sales of a $150 console add-on, to a $499 tablet? The claim that was made about the iPad, was that it was the most quickly adopted product for an entirely new class of tech product. I wouldn't consider an add-on to an existing product, within an industry that has existed for several decades, to be an entirely new gadget. MS is really grasping at straws here, always trying to view themselves in the same light as Apple.
These numbers defin...
No, play both for yourself, in front of your own two eyes, on the same TV. It is leaps and bounds more photorealistic than Forza. I own both games, and I've played both extensively. I've been playing Forza since release. GT5 is on a different level visually.
People may hate on the standard cars, but even the standard cars when just viewed normally and not put up to a friggin magnifying glass, look more photorealistic than Forza. Not all of them, but most do.
Yea, pretty much. All I could say about a guy like him, is that he just doesn't "get it." It's like Roger Ebert saying that a video game could never be art. Well, if you don't get it, then you'll never understand it.
This author is obviously someone that doesn't appreciate cars, or appreciate Kaz's undying attention to detail and passion for cars as well. A true car aficionado will always consider GT above everything else because the game...
Lol wow. You guys do realize that this was done by Machinima. They got PAID to sit there and play COD. And now theyre going to get even more money by auctioning off the account and the xbox. Not to mention all the views they got on YouTube for this, which gave them even more ad money, as well as all the ad money they got from companies that sponsored this (Astro, red bull, Gunnar).
Pretty sure you guys are the ones with no lives sitting around trolling on N4G.
For the love of God, please don't click the link. Don't give them site hits for flamebait troll articles like this. Please. Otherwise they'll never learn and Gaming Journalism will continue to be a pathetic joke.
Ironic enough, the last point he makes about Skyward Sword and how its bringing back color and creativity to Links world, and not just letting the fans dictate the game....well Nintendo already made Skyward Sword less "cartoony" because of idiot fans complaining. Which has me a little disappointed, because Nintendo is once again letting fans push them around.
Personally, I thought the original styling of Skyward Sword was drop dead gorgeous, and was the absolute pe...
