This is a bogus list.
For a start the next GTA game will NOT be called GTA V, if will be GTA and then the name of whatever city it is set in. Rockstar only use a numerical distinction to identify a new game engine, the next GTA will be using the current version of RAGE and Euphoria.
Secondly, where is Red Dead Redemption in this list?
These are just two faults, there will be more!
What is this guy thinking?
The PS3 cost millions of Yen to develop. Games cost millions of dollars and pounds to develop. All this has done is make it possible for the grubby, greedy leech like cheat to play games without recompensing those who worked so hard and spent so much money to bring us good games, and it will be the good games that deserve our cash that will suffer!
He's allowing the avaricious criminal and the spineless software pirate to profit!
Simple answer... YES!
Evidence?
I didn't hear or see any evidence, I heard the mumbling, drunken ramblings of someone with FAR too much time on his hands.
He provided no evidence, he simply talked tripe while pointing a video camera at the screen!
PS3Arc.com is clearly a fake website and, as the author of the article suggests, is probably yet another example of disgraceful cyber squatting!
Bubbles for you sir! Phish!
Since when was ownership of a game determined by the box art?
I wouldn't care if the game was sold in a plain white sleeve as long as THE GAME was good!
How unbelievable petty, stupid, moronic and childish it is to complain about box art!!!!!!
This response should be required reading for anyone buying a console in this generation.
Bubbles for you my friend.
What a bogus, ill-thought out and badly researched article from digitpedia. I wish I could have read it without giving them a site hit!
I don't understand how you can say the graphics in Forza 3 are better than GT:P. I've played both games and they clearly aren't.
You also seem to be more interested in fluff like menu design and custom paint jobs! If you want to paint things go to an artists supply shop, personally I want to drive insane cars on mad circuits as fast as possible and I don't care whether the car is red, green, blue or pink with yellow spots!
You say the AI is great! I disagree. I found them to be aw...
I do laugh when I read comments like "They should test games before releasing them" from the same people who whine about delayed releases, that are delayed so the developers can make a game work properly!
You can't have your cake and eat it.
Either you get the game now with glitches which will be worked out,
or you get it later but working properly straight out of the box.
Where are the Helghast?
The best bad guys in any game, IMHO.
Having given Forza 3 a good going over I can confirm that, in my humble opinion, it isn't even as good as Gran Turismo 5 Prologue.
The AI is rubbish, it was laughably easy to defeat them. and the cars still look too 2 dimensional. There was evidence of lumping great saw tooth marks in the outline of vehicles and the damage modeling is pants, pre-defined damage images and grey paint streaks were all I saw.
I'd rather keep playing GT5 Prologue, and wait for GT5, than fork out £...
StanLee,
At last someone making sense on N4G. Most people only have 1 console and couldn't care which one is better, as long as the games they want to play are available on the console they bought. This is why exclusives are so important to console manufacturers, this is also why Micro$oft has spent so much money buying into Sony's marquee exclusives. Developers will always design multi-platform games to work on the weakest system first then convert it to work on the others. Games are d...
I am truly sick and tired of reading uninformed articles by illiterate pseudo journalist inciting flame-bait hysteria thus provoking socially and emotionally stunted fan-boys into "my console is better than your console" battles simply to get web hits.
But I am furious when people complain about GTA IV having none of the fluff that was on San Andreas.
San Andreas was the 3rd iteration of a game engine (GTA III, GTA: Vice City then and GTA San Andreas). By the time they'd...
I disagree with you that Micro$oft should stop m,making consoles. It is generally agreed that the original Xbox was better than the PS2 and while I am a confirmed and proud owner of a PS3 I would not encourage Micro$oft to stop making consoles.
We need the competition of several manufacturers making big selling consoles to ensure that those big players make an effort with each successive console and give us the best possible product.
Without that competition from Micro$oft Sony ma...
1) They can link to any website they want.
2) It's Dutch not German!
3) If you're sitting in front of a PC with the web and don't have the presence of mind to use a web translator like Babel Fish then what are doing sitting in front of a PC?
Did you just race through Batman: Arkham Asylum or did you actually take the time to enjoy it? Just a question.
If you did take the time then kudos on your speed. My gut feeling, however, is that you raced through the game as quickly as you possibly could. If that's the case then why bother playing it at all, if your only goal is to finish it as quickly as possible?
I hope I'm wrong.
I agree with everything you say apart from your assessment of Vista.
Vista is truly awful, there is virtually nothing on it that works as well as XP.
It's slow, a memory hogger, a resource hogger, DirectX 10 is rubbish and there are hardly any drivers that work with it!
Vista is rubbish! I will reserve judgement on Windows 7 until I've seen it in action.
But you're right about Micro$oft's profits only being affected by the recession. Panic and overstatement are the pre...
The Wii has reached saturation point, their sales have plummeted, as everyone who would buy a Wii has already done so.
"what good is having the fastest console if no one is buying it"
They are buying it. Millions of people have bought it! Doh!
It has been reported in the UK press that the publishers of this game are going to charge £55 ($90) for this game, as an experiment to see if they can get away with charging £55 ($90) for any game.
I WOULD URGE EVERYONE NOT TO BUY THIS GAME UNTIL THEY SEE SENSE AND LOWER THE PRICE!
I am as keen as everyone else to play this game but I refuse to be fleeced by greedy publishers who couldn't give a rats-arse about quality games, but simply care about the £...
dchalfont: Micro$oft haven't been making money on the 360, because they've had to spend in inordinate amount fixing broken 360s and honouring the 5 year warranty. They've also spent a fortune on lawyers, defending their broken console in court.
tudors: If the original Xbox is anything to go by then Micro$oft will dump support for the 360 second the new console is out, forcing you to buy the new one as the did with the first Xbox. Micro$oft have only made one thing that works out...
