I would say that M$ played a role in the failure. Realtime worlds created Crackdown with David Jones, one of the original founders of GTA series, for M$. Something happened and knowing M$, money had something to do with it. Well you know the saying...you get what you pay for...Crackdown 2 IS rental material. I rented it this week as a matter of fact and I don't think I could finish that game if I wanted to.
I really enjoyed Crackdown 1...one of the best games on 360. I ...
Halo is a quality product that has spawned numerous copy cats with nowhere near the success. How many times have you heard the words Halo killer. Halo 3 sold 11 million units, came out 3 years ago and STILL thousands play it everyday on XBL. That is the definition of success. If Halo was available on all platforms and even a downgraded version for Wii and handhelds...it would be UNTOUCHABLE. M$ has hinted that Halo may end up on your cell phone soon in some capacity.
@Bulle...
Maybe Windows 7 means nothing to you but it definitely sent shock waves through the industry. It was expected but the degree that M$ is going into it was not and you can bet Sony, Apple, Nintendo...etc are taking notice. The list of games they released was huge and impressive. Major battle about to take place and M$ wants in...to be continued.
M$ also announced a move back to the PC now that Bach has been shown the door. This is/will be HUGE going forward. Imagine AW, Crac...
If they want to stop the used game market, reduce the price of games and open there own stores. Look at how much money these guys made!!!
Activision and EA must be having a nervous breakdown right now. This is gonna start something big. Blockbuster is in trouble. Why haven't they jumped into the used gaming market???. I know they do now, but they need to do more...1.8 BILLION...INCREDIBLE.
It's a fair comparison in terms of the fact they are both cams, but the racing is different. F1 just looked more gritty and the speed really stands them apart.
GT has F1 racing so maybe comparing F1 to F1 would be better...still, F1 is very impressive.
C'mon now biggest...another Kinect article and here you are...lol. Did you ever get around to buying that used 360 to play AW???...missing out buddy.
Kinect looks incredible...your welcome to come over to the dark side. You could play Halo Reach in a couple of weeks, Fable 3 and of course the ultimate motion controller Kinect in November...LMFAO
Well said...This Gwave character is on every 360 thread crying because he doesn't have one and can't play the good games...lol
BTW...the Sony defence force is on every 360 thread especially Kinect...they having nothing to play this year and it's only August.
As fot left hand Vs Right...look in a mirror and see if you can figure out this little puzzle.
Comparing Mass Effect and DA is silly. Mass Effect is one of the most advanced games made this gen. The game engine using the upgraded Unreal 3 tech has great AI and advanced physics. If Bioware can reproduce that on PS3 than that would be great...big " IF " tho. I'm sure the demo is inbound and people can compare then.
As for the ME1 Vs ME2 controversy, you aren't missing much. The first game was amazing but it did have alot of bugs...some very big. I'...
I wasn't sure what to make of the game when I saw some of the first game play vids but sincethen things have really picked up. The story is really interesting and the scale of the environments look fantastic. The game play is so smooth and fluid...wow.
I never played Heavenly Sword because it looked like just another hack and slash but this has got me thinking twice.
Halo Reach is one of the best looking games this gen...PERIOD. It is shocking how clear and crisp the graphics are in Reach, although in this video it's hard to tell because of the video quality. Funny moment when at the end he stops to look out over the landscape and draw distance. I bet he could talk for an hour on why and how difficult it is to achieve that level of detail...stunning. Releases on September 14, M$ is killing it this year.
BTW...for those debating to watch...
Isn't it a " little " early to start hyping a game that releases in 2 years...lol.
As for the interview Ken Levine, I disagree with a couple things he says...mainly that this game or Bioshock one for that matter are not built around the whole " steam punk " philosophy. It is, it was and it will continue to be...lol. Using the upgraded Unreal 3 was a very smart move but what other engine out there could handle this level of diversity. Expect alot of futur...
Good luck to Sony if this becomes a game which it no doubt will. Kids everywhere will be buying this. You have to think about Milo goes to school for the first time and Milo's first kiss, girlfriend, wife and kids...Heck, even grandparent...it would be MONUMENTAL!!!. M$ and Lionhead really have to fast track and patent as much of this tech as possible. We all know how Sony steals everything M$ does. Wait for the inevitable Sony 3D camera they claim to be working on.
Pet...
They are DIFFERENT. Kinect offers full body skeletal mapping and you are starting to see Kinect games moving in that direction. Here's the tech for the millionth time...Look at Kinect 3D mapping the entire space at 1:16.

Many developers/games are starting to come to grips with the tech...Here's Ubi's Kinect exclusive Fighter Uncaged...
It's over before it even started for Sony this gen. The new machines are being spec-ed as we speak...Sony blew it.
M$ is the big winner this gen even if they didn't sell another console starting today...lol. XBL is the envy of the world leaving the little Asian guys scratching there heads. XBL has generated over a BILLION dollars...how much has PSN or Nintendo on line generated???. Many analysts have said Kinect will be huge this holiday as will the new Xbox. M$ has...
Why not have to move through the ship, if thats what that is, and interact with each other. Complete puzzles via teamwork to open doors and access other areas. Throw in some time challenges to get the blood pumping. I mean C'mon...everything I've seen from Sony Move, Kinect and Wii are not games but more like apps.
Check out this title from Ubi-soft Kinect EXCLUSIVE called Fighters uncaged...a step in the right direction in terms of body mapping...
Yep...it looks like Iron man without the nice lighting. The graphics look worse in this adaptation. The original makers of Dead Space 1 are making a COD game over at Activision to be released holiday 2011...that should be interesting!!!
The game is for children...lol. Is that ok with you guys to make games for kids or is that not allowed???
I think anyone with children would get this game for them. There are other more mature titles coming but they require more time to develop.
Check out this EXCLUSIVE game from Ubi-soft available for Kinect at launch...Fighters uncaged.

This is something that would be great for everyone. The graphics look great. I wonder if they will use the voice recognition tools that M$ has with the dev kits. Yelling out directions would be cool.
Full body mapping is starting to take shape with games like this as well as Ubi's Your Shape and MTV's dance central. Obviously a Tiger Woods golf game with full mapping of the golf swing would be awesome. The Harry Potter game has potential but the EA live demo was a d...
KZ2 multi-player looks the same as KZ3 multi-player...not a good thing. Will the sales look the same as well???
Sorry fellas, you brought it up. KZ looks claustrophobic. The view of the battle field and line of vision is all blocked and narrow. If it stays that way expect to see the same sales. The melee is a mess.
Halo Reach is a genre unto itself. KZ will never match Halo or COD black ops...sad really. Was looking forward to KZ3...hope the campaign isn&...
Don't hold your breath...this came from Sony themselves as a last ditch effort to expand the user base before the new machines come in 2012. If they decide to shut this down, it will be after they have sold alot more consoles.
Some analysts are predicting M$ may jump ahead of Sony by 10 million units by the time the holidays are over. XBL has generated well over a BILLION dollars and the 360 is heavily pirated. Sony knows you can't sell something on your console to ...
