Wow dude. Thats quite the essay you typed out for everyone to see your MS love fest. Everything mentioned in this article is true. Notice how it says MS is a dying "CONSUMER" brand. Thats because before, consumers looked at MS as the kings of tech and innovation. Now MS is the last name average consumers think of when it comes to innovation and trendy things. They only buy windows because its the default operating system. Macintosh is still too expensive for most consumers, a...
This will do a lot for gaming on Android, thats for sure. But all they really will ever be are mobile games....you know, the kind of "weak games" that Marcus likes to mock and belittle in the commercials. Not true PSP-level games. However, I'm not sure I see why Sony decided to give Google all that reward, when they themselves won't be benefitting all that much from it. Sure, they might have a reasonably successful phone product, but I think the Playstation brand is stro...
Informed take on it? The guy with the Atari shirt on sounded like a complete moron.
Not only that, but also storytelling and good directing. Thats something most people take for granted or overlook, but for a story driven game its one of the most important things.
Also FF13 helped reinforce exactly why I hate repetitive game design so much. The old FF's had such brilliant game design and were great at keeping the game from feeling repetitive. It didn't constantly stay in a mold of town-dungeon-town-dungeon, but rather varied that and did things li...
@ Shoko
"And experienced Smash Bros player can tell you that each game plays differently"
And experienced COD players would say the exact same thing about Call of Duty games. So your point is completely irrelevant. Publishers do not allow developers to change the core mechanics for a game that has 15+ million users playing the game. Thats just stupidity and suicide.
Activision wouldn't even allow Infinity Ward to change the...
If you don't see any colors in Crysis 2, you've clearly got a pair of fanboy goggles on that prevent you from seeing them.
I'm not going to argue that being colorful automatically makes Crysis 2 a better looking game than Killzone, I'm just saying that the colors are clearly visible if you've seen any quality footage from the game. This video is terrible quality and off screen, which isn't a very good way to judge a games graphics.
Pity yourself for actually worrying about what other games people play. People hate on COD SO MUCH, claiming its more of the same, but continue to pay so much attention to the game themselves.
Since when were sequels supposed to reinvent the series every single year? I'd like to see ANY of you attempt to do that, come up with a breakthrough idea every 365 days.
You guys really don't appreciate just how tough it is to create sequels to hugely succe...

There's a difference between gimping a game, and a game that is just flat out broken and not in a state suitable for consumers. Smartass.
God, why are so many "PC gamers" such snobby douchebags?
I play games on PC too, and I have a top of the line rig, but I don't think I'm some kind of gaming god for it. I play console games more than PC games, a true gamer goes where the games are and doesn't act like a pretentious faggot for having certain games with slightly better visuals.
LOL I just thought of the same thing Agent.
But you know what else Microsoft spent 500 million dollars marketing? Kin. And that was one of the biggest consumer electronics failures I think ever. But it does prove that Microsoft puts all their money into advertising.
Stfu, theres no difference between how people play. People will be people, regardless of platform, and will play the way people play. Quit trying to act like everyone who plays on a PC is some kind of elitist snob and super hardcore 1337 realistic gamer. I have MW2 and COD4 on PC and consoles. People are just as aggressive, if not more on PC because mouse/keyboard is much easier to aim and twitch shoot with.
Since much of the original team at Black Isle (the creators of Fallout 1 and 2) are at Obsidian, including the two lead designers of Fallout, I was hoping for something a little more inspired than basically just the same thing as Fallout 3. They certainly hyped it to be much more than that.
Yes, Activision demanded all this because they posted the leaked Black Ops videos.
hmmm, you're checking the wrong machinima channel then. Did you notice the "respawn" in the title?
COD copied it? You do realize that Infinity Ward is made up of the former developers that created MOH Allied Assault, who left EA after that to form their own studio, right?
I don't mean completely different as in a completely different game altogether. That wouldn't be a sequel would it? What do you expect from a sequel? It's supposed to retain the fundamental game mechanics, otherwise its not a sequel. MW2 changed the mechanics of MW1 more than say Gears of War 2 changed Gears of War 1. Most sequels are like this. Not every sequel can be like Uncharted 2.
I don't think many of you really can appreciate just how hard it is ...
Everything you just said about Madden is exactly what happened to COD as well, don't be a troll. Anyone who says the game hasn't changed is just someone who doesn't ever play COD. Anyone who ACTUALLY PLAYS COD somewhat regularly know that MW1 and MW2 are two completely different games in regards to gameplay. One game is broken and unbalanced and one is not, due to all the gameplay changes.
The only reason people like you are saying this is because Activision is...
Pretty sure it's free because the game is probably WORSE with it. Playing with the controller is better than playing with a garbage wheel.
Sold their souls for little hand helds for the quick buck? Sorry buddy, but it's because all you so-called fans weren't supporting them on consoles. No matter how much they want to make all these great games for fans, if they aren't receiving any revenue to support future projects, then they can't make you games. It's a business you know.
It's not a charity for you and you alone, despite what many of you self centered fanboys like to think.
Lol @ SG updating his post now and thanking Alpha-Male22 for the link.
