Depends, if gears, fallout, fable, resistance, lbp, force unleashed, the new silent hill and soul calibur all live up to the hype, i'd say 2008 will be the better year by far. We've already gotten two strong goty players in gta4 and mgs4, and 2007 didn't really get good until the fall/winter. So we'll see.
What, no bubsy?
The squeaky voice for starters.. and the weird, stereotypical fortune cookie lines she'd throw out all the time. She wasn't bad in mgs4 though, just mgs1.

How exactly is this increasing the amount of available games that "cater to the japanese people", when ffxiii will still be exclusive to the ps3 in japan? Your comment makes no sense.
This type of fanboy stuff i just don't understand. You clearly love the series, as you've bought and kept every single ff game ever made. Yet because it goes multiplatform, all of the sudden the games you obviously loved are retroactively crap? I just don't get that.
I've never played an mmo either, but i do know that pve = players vs environment, which is basically teaming up with others to go on missions with the ai acting as an enemy, so it basically like a big online coop. and pvp is player vs player, where you can randomly fight any other players in the map. Having both is probably the best.
True, I'm a fan of both, but soul calibur has always been better than tekken in every way.
I wasn't even that disappointed with 08 for the 360. The actual game itself was good, but not great. Its the players themselves online that ruined it for me. There is so much glitching now I don't even bother playing half as much as I used to.
People use the same money plays, glitches and nanos all game. They run the same 4-5 cheap exploit plays over and over, and when you figure out how to stop all of them and shut them down and are winning in the fourth quarter, they just do ...
Yea... good luck to anyone who hopes to pull off all those precise combos tekken is known for with that horrible d pad. For fps the 360 controller is king, but I'd never buy a fighting game for my 360 based on that god awful d pad alone.
The special characters didn't really sway my purchase either way (even though vader > yoda imo) the playstation d pad is what sealed the deal for me. Usually I get multiplayer games for my 360 b/c of live, but the 360 pad would be an absolute nightmare for a fighting game like sc, so it isn't even an issue. ps3 version for me on day one.
Can't feel sorry for people who bought a wii and complain about a lack of real titles for gamers. We all knew going in that the wii is a casual gamer's platform. Complaining about a lack of hardcore gamer support now would be like going to a vegetarian restaurant and complaining that there wasn't any steak on the menu.
Couldn't agree with that more monchichi. The most annoying part is that the best game for the ps3 (other than the recent mgs4) is uncharted, and that game has been out for months, and it got none of the hype and attention that unreleased, far into the future games like lbp, killzone and gt have gotten since the launch.
Keep on believing whatever excuses you want to throw out there. I don't see why you defend the game this much though when this is obviously a glaring gameplay flaw.
Like my earlier post said, I've been a re fan for over 10 years now, starting with the first one. I'll probably play and love re5 too, even if it doesn't have the option to walk while shooting. But I'm not letting my love of the series blind me (like some) and I'll be the first to say that not being able to move whil...
I never sign up for betas, not even the metal gear online beta interested me. But for kz2 I'd actually pay to play the beta version. I never thought it would live up to the hype, but the more I see of kz the more I think it actually might be that good.
wtf are you talking about. except for that grindhouse trash, tarantino movies all have plots, some with numerous plots going on at once. Go back and watch reservoir dogs or pulp fiction and tell me they don't have plots.
Thats what I was thinking. As great a game as gow was, you could fit the entire "plot" in a single paragraph. The book will have to basically just be 99% made up on the spot, and have nothing to do with the game other than the characters and setting.
uncharted took the genre to a whole new level. Legend was a decent game, with platforming and puzzles that were actually far better than uncharted, but for me to even be interested in underworld they're going to have to totally revamp the horrible gunplay from legend, come with an actually decent plot and make the graphics at least comparable to uncharted. Tough task though since uncharted had some of the best gunplay and is still the best looking game this gen imo. The pics look alright, bu...
I love that logic. Broken gamplay mechanic = adds to fear and tension. So going by what you said there shouldn't be a run option either since that would stop you from "running wild" too.
I'll be really disappointed if there isn't at the very least an option to walk while shooting. I'm not asking for a total run and gun ability like uncharted. Something more like gears, slowly walking while shooting would be good. But just any movement at all would be an improvement. ...
Agreed, I went to one of those ff music shows, with a full symphony orchestra playing various songs from the series and surprisingly it was one of the top ten concerts i've ever been to.
I was never much into character creation in any kind of game, but I've seen a few videos of some amazing stuff people have done with the sc3 character create. Stuff like believable replicas of dc and marvel characters, characters from other games etc. Just one more week. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for lag free online play.
