You make some very good points, but at the same time, the reason people play madden and other sports games is for the gameplay on the field, not the details. For me ea needs to improve the online servers as priority #1, because it sucked horribly in 07. For me online play and playing vs friends is the only way to play madden, the computer ai has always sucked. If resistance can have 30 player deathmatches with no lag then theres no reason why I shouldn't be able to play madden 1v1 and not hav...
Come on, don't be a fanboy.
Actually no, that isn't enough for most people. There is no way to spin that. The only way to fix the negative pr is to give people a product they can actually rely on. Trust me, "it won't break" sounds a whole lot better than "if it breaks we'll fix it fast".
True, Squall was imo the best lead character in any ff game.
Not to be too much of a pessimist here (i love ffvii just like the rest, and would love to see a remake) but if the guaranteed tens of millions they could make off of the game haven't convinced them to do a remake yet, what makes anyone think a couple thousand signatures would do it?
The easy answer is that they just don't care. They bought up the nfl license and know that no one can compete with them and they've got the market cornered on america's most popular sport so people will buy it in droves anyway, even if its just a minor upgrade from the previous year's version. They can afford to be lazy and do a half assed job because people will still line up to buy it year in and year out regaurdless.
Hmm, comparing the ps3 to the most successful console in history isn't really the best way to insult it pog.. you might want to rethink that strategy.
Its simple. They don't want to advertise it because they still have a ton of non-hdmi 360's in stock and they know more people will buy the old ones if they don't know that theres a better version out now for the same exact price.
I think with the amount of press he gets fatality is a great "ambassador" for gaming. He's talented as hell, dedicated to his skill, but still has a life outside of gaming and comes off as a gracious, humble winner. Not a hint of ego or arrogance about him. If more console gamers were like him xboxlive/psn would be much better places to play.
More games should take that route. Instead of throwing in some multiplayer that feels tacked on (like the darkness), just focus all your time on making the single player game the best you can. I'm really looking forward to this one. Atmospheric fps (doom 3, fear, half life2 etc) are my favorite genre.
"Leave all that dumbass extra talk out the news if it doesnt apply in anyway. "
Forward that message to fox news too while you're at it.
This game better be amazing. I've never seen a game so hyped since mario 3.
Amazon does this all the time, they shave a little off their price because they're a huge retailer and can afford to take the hit with all the extra sales that'll come their way because of the lower price. Its simple business and probably has nothing to do with clearance. They did the same thing with the ps3 controler, if you notice its slightly cheaper than retail on amazon (and thats why I got my extra controler from there)
rofl 7 out of 10 titles on the list are ps3 games, but one little change in the order all of the sudden makes this an xbox site. Grow up already lol
hmmm, like video games?
ps2 hardware sales are still higher than both 360 and ps3. Its far from dying, sorry.
Why won't they just confirm whether these new hdmi enabled models have the new 65nm process or at least a heatsink? Afraid no one will buy the old ones I guess.
maybe its just my tv (32" samsung 1080i lcd) but I really can't tell much of a difference between component and hdmi to make such a fuss over it. I've set up my ps3 with both and they looked pretty much identical to me, with the component actually looking slightly better while watching movies.
Its not really lying, its just improving their product to suit user demand. I think the real question is "do you like companies adding new content that people request?"
and btw was sony "lying" when they said controller feedback wasn't next gen, and are now developing a controller w/feedback?
EDIT - lol beat me to it razer
I feel the same way jay, theres way too much pre-release hype with a lot of games now. Lair is a perfect example, the game isn't out yet, but so many people have their minds set on what it will be like based on a few reviews. How about we wait until these games are actually released before we christen them the next big franchise or big flops.
Haze is especially guilty of that with the devs repeating the "halo killer" mantra over and over. Anytime I hear people say &qu...
