Sales may not tell you exactly how great a game is, but it does show how many people actually WANT to play it
Well it obviously a very cost effective method, why spend countless amounts of money on maintaing an internal studio when you can get just as good exclusives for a fraction of the price just look how great Gears turned out for MS, and was it made internally......NO
I think the only insecure one here is Sony, i mean they havnt even released official numbers for Killzone 2, their 1st party game are obviously not as great as they thought they'd be. Cant wait to see Infamous and Heav...
Looks like MS are going for overkill in the US
Any bundle with Halo 3 in it is sure to entice newcomers to the system, its arguable the most popular FPS ever made
XBL wont be becoming free anytime soon then
Just think how many exclusives or even studios MS could buy with that cash. Sony and Nintendo might end up changing their stance on free online after seeing this, at least Sony anyways since they need the cash more
And look how bland and flat the graphics were for WKC
Most 1080p/60fps games dont come close to the graphical detail that 720p games do
And it wouldnt surprise me if this is 100% of the PS3's power because they werent able to do splitscreen in Killzone 2 so the PS3 is obviously reaching its limits, which isnt always a bad thing
Even though metactric is opinion its still a solid number which (once all reviews are in) doesnt change, so it can be used as solid evidence for the quality of a game. I mean look how many times have MS and Sony have quoted metactric so its obviously a good source to use.
And i'd rather base my opinon on something since it makes it a lot hard for someone to disagree with it.
And the reason no one cared about AAA befoe this gen was because the PS2 had the best games a...
@PirateThom
Well at least metacrtic isnt fanboy opinion. Cause i bet by your opinion every single PS3 game is AAA, and i could say the same and say every 360 exclusive is AAA including Too Human and Ninja Blade. So thats why im basing my AAA status on metacrtic.
@lloyd_wonder
I honest didnt know that MLB The Show 09 was made by Sony so i guess that makes them even with MS. And MM isnt first party
And yet they have only produced 1 AAA game Killzone 2
While MS 1st party devs has produced 2 Halo 3 and Forza 2
And Nintendo has made whooping 4 with SSBB, Zelda, SMG and Metroid and thats not including DS games
Quality is better than quantity Sony, maybe someday you will learn that fact
"We're actively working on the EU version"
Could that mean we might be getting a JRPG before the US!?
Would of been kinda shocking though, a multiplatform game running better on the PS3
Just the thought of it boggles the mind
Here we go again marketing a game on its specs rather than its gameplay, thats sure to make it sell since its ALWAYS worked in the past
Make an action movie like SE did with FFVII and use the same quality CGI as Halo Wars
After seeing the 'so-called' scans i got a feeling this is for real
For one i dont think Japan do the whole April fools thing and two, how the hell can someone photoshop gameplay screens? That would be pretty hard to do without it looking overly obvious
I just thought they were making a new PS3 tales game rather than just porting the 360 one
Considering SE complained about the PS3's memory (i.e its limited RAM) it wouldnt be too surprising if the 360 version turned out better
Im surprised MS even cared enough to actually comment on it
Well that was a megaton of epic proportions lol
So all that buying of JRPGs finally paid off for MS, i wonder if they will ever pass 2ml
MS only bad mouths and gloats about outselling Sony, because they were market leaders twice in a row. And now that MS is ahead why in the world wouldnt they be happy and want to shout about their huge accomplishment.
Im sure if it was published by nintendo it would of sold a million by now since they know how to market their games...........at least their non violent ones anyway
The problem with this selling bad is that it will discourage devs to make more hardcore Wii games which is kinda sad
Why dont you think of it this way
MS buys timed exclusive -> hype build as everyone thinks its only one 360 -> releases with huge sales numbers -> MS get tons of $$$ from sales -> MS buys timed exclusive and it repeats
Sure you can say they come out on the PS3 in the end, but who cares??? NO ONE!! Tell me a 360 timed exclusives which released on the PS3 later on with numbers close to the 360's actually how about HALF the 360s. The thing about timed exclus...
