Ok the fact that microsoft charges a royalty for every disc printed for the 360 is what really needs to be questioned.. This author states that the production costs of blu-ray lessens third party developers profits but what about games that require multiple disc on the 360? For example ffxiii on the 360 has 3 discs so microsoft charges square enix 3 royalty fees for every single copy of ffxiii sold on the 360.. Call me crazy but this sounds like more of a risk for developers then a format tha...
I disagreed for one reason " it seems to be the most advanced handheld yet " No the 3ds is just a ds with a graphics bump and a filter that creates the 3d image.. Not bleeding edge, my iPhone has features that make the 3ds look like a toy...
Umm sony was losing money off of every ps3 sold.. It wasnt an arrogance like We can charge what we want.. Sony's comments early on were to combat the negative media and all the hate that was thrown at them over the price.. I really hate how people bash sony for the ps3's launch price..
No people in the subway will look over and the screen will be BLURRY because if you are not centered with the screen it becomes blurry... LIke I stated above this "amazing glassesless 3d" is just an optical illusion that is created by a filter that is placed in between the screen and the plastic cover and it directs an image at each eye.. Its a lo tech solution that shows whenever you are off center... I'm not impressed at all..
LOL @ amazingbrian.. "No duh its going to be $300. The display that it uses, the 3d no glasses one(dont know technical name) is a very new type of display. Therefore it costs a lot, much like PS3 when it first came out because of blu-ray." YOu do realize that that "new screen" you are swooning over is just a film that sits between the display and the plastic cover and it has directed "mirrors" that project the same image at each eye right? Its not some new ty...
I read all of these 300k? OHH noezzz teh sonyz iz doom comments and I just chuckle.. Its september this was s very strategic move by sony.. Everyone knows that the holiday shopping season doesnt start until november so sony will have two months of market saturation before the rush of the holiday shopping season so they wont have to worry about supply constraints.. Everyone just wait, come the end of december these numbers will be well past 1million... Its obvious that most of the people buyin...
Just like you keep denying that you dont deserve only one bubble?? Keep trolling its the only thing you're good at......
No sony doesnt have an image problem its just that microsoft made the 360 into a pop culture item and here in america that "pop culture" title is priceless.. Hell it took me months to get my parents to stop calling my ps3 an xbox.. Microsoft pushed the name xbox 360 so agressively that it became an everyday term.. Thats what seperates the 360 here in america.. Nothing else. Despite all of the bad puclicity, ms propoganda, poor 3rd party support and laggin sales the ps3 is charging b...
Why doesnt need to be updated...
Maybe sony hasnt changed the xmb alot because it works really well? Seriously the xmb is neat, organized, and looks great especially with a dynamic theme.. Whats also great is I can take any picture stored to my hard drive and make it my background... In lamens terms the xmb is near perfect.
People can survive headshots.. They never made an indication that he was 100 percent dead... Hmm this is going to be one of those rumors that burns up the internet lol....
For me the campaign in R1 was something special.. I really loved the feel and ambience.. It also helped make nathan hale one of my favorite game characters.. I had high hopes for R2.. DOnt get me wrong it was a fantastic game but it just didnt feel like they took the franchise in the right direction.. Regardless insomniac is my favorite developer and I will buy r3 day one no questions...
I dunno I like quincunx the textures they get out of it are remarkable but of course the blur effect is a negative. Was gow3 using QAA or MLAA? From where I was sitting the textures in that game were outstanding wit very little of the blur effect.. I assumed it utilized quincunx but i'm not positive...
Whats funny is that more often then not these games are dead up identical and these sreen tearing issues and lack of vsync or lack of msaa are soooooo minute that they are barely indescernable.. In fact these differences are only noted by people that painstakingly look for them.. Even digital foundry said the differences were negligible but that screen tear was more apparent on the ps3.. I had to watch their video 3 times before I noticed screen tearing and the only time I did notice it was w...
Umm most of the Ninja theory team that worked on heavenly sword has left so most of these people are new..
Ughh I'm so sick of this argument.. Sony shouldnt have to hold these developers hands when making a game.. Its been proven over and over that a sony proprietary engine runs soo much better then these third party engines.. I think this is where the "bottle necking" comes from... Third party engines have to be split up between the spe's on the cell and that is a complicated mess so instead the developers just squeeze all of that information into the single core and thats why i...
I bought both R&C future tools of destruction and a crack in time as a birthday present for myself.. I cant believe I've waited this long cause I love ratchet and clank games.. I'm loving every second of future, never has there been a game with soo much content.. You have a colorful and funny shooter, mixed with a solid platformer, throw in some rpg elements and gun customization and you have a delicious gaming recipe.. Can't wait to get started on a crack in time.. After that...
No I'm talking about the stylus touch screen and 3d... Those are gimmicks seeing as they don't add to the gameplay.. I've played ds's in every shape and form and I've never enjoyed one because of the touch screen.. Thats why I don't play games on my iPhone I hate the touch screen controls... Whats ignorant is someone like you who gets offended because I think that nintendo's products are gimmicky..
Sony knows better then to try and use touch only.. I think they will have a slide open unit ala psp go that has a multi touch display and the control panel with two nubs... Sony has a great track record of listening to their userbase and the userbase is screaming for two analog, touch screen, and phone integration.. It will happen..
What are you talking about?? Blu-ray isn't the only component that drove up the price of the ps3.. Backwards compatability was a hardware driven implementation that drove up cost, the media card readers weren't cheap, built in wifi, standard hdd, 4 usb ports, built in hdmi, optical out put, cell processor etc..... Placing the cost of the ps3 solely on blu-ray is naive and is just you looking to find justification to denounce blu-ray.. I'm sorry if you are "OK" with disc ...
