I'm sure he didn't mean any major disrespect. He's just saying that taking a genre, especially an FPS, and improving on it can be done by most developers. Yes Halo is a fun game that showed us how the FPS genre could be improved, but Mario64 and Ocarina of time created a whole new genre that showed how 3D games were suppose to be made.
Well other developers are improving on genres he is spending his time creating completely new concepts on how games are suppose to be played. No...
Take Two can no longer be sued by jack thompson after their settlement over harassment, I believe it was.
I agree 100% covenant, however this society, and parents in general, would rather shove the blame on to violent video games, movies, and music then put the burden on their shoulders. Games are rated with a much stricter standard then any other form of entertainment and there is a reason for this. It's not the developers fault that parents are being irresponsible by buying t...
Anyone who thinks the PS2 outselling all other consoles at this point is good for the PS3 needs to rethink that statement.
Those who bought a PS2 this late into the game didn't buy it because Sony made it, they bought it because it was the best value. Now you expect these people to buy a PS3 at 600$ when they make the switch to nex gen? I see this being very unlikely with the Wii and 360 being far cheaper. Even with a price drop the PS3 is still 500$ and Microsoft will just mim...
I'm sorry but Final Fantasy III, or also known as Final Fantasy VI in Japan, is by far the best and most epoch Final Fantasy ever made in my opionin. If any one of them needs a nex gen remake it's Final Fantasy VI.
On a more sour note, it is a little crazy that Square Enix can take already made games and just keep remaking them and run a business off of it. I guess it's a testament to how great their games are to the majority of the public.
Sigh, I didn't realize I was typing my thesis paper. I like how correcting someone's typos on the internet some how makes you a genius.
I think my criticism is completely valid and in no way makes me superior. Please forgive me for not catching Firefox's spell check wrongly correcting my typos. If correcting three typos in two paragraphs is a full time job, you should really take some english courses.
Also you apperantly don't understand how to use the word coher...
It would be nice though if my friend, who doesn't own a 360, could come over , grab a controller, and start playing with me. Not every one in the world owns a 360 or even a gaming console. He has a valid complaint in my eyes.
I remember when game console where meant to be played with friends in the same room. Ooo well times change.
I find this quit sad for PS3 owners. Shouldn't they be playing games instead of worrying about movies.
Oooo well I guess they want to make sure they can justify paying 600 dollars for a PS3. If blue-ray looses they'll look like the biggest douche bags ever.
I really try to not hate Sony but they and their fan base are far to easy of a target with stunts like these and the endless ignorant comments by fan boys and cooperate heads. I swear they have a giant reticul...
Well maybe once you grow up, get a real job, and have some thing called responsibility's you'll understand how expensive he PS3 really is. See most people in the world live in this little thing called reality where 600 dollars plus a HDTV isn't exactly lunch money.
From what the sales figures say it seems more people are buying and playing a 360 then a ps3 by the way so I find the door stop comment a little lame.
Fanboism isn't loving one brand over another, this...
Ya. You'd be amazed at the sway price has over consumers. The PS2 is a good example of this because it really didn't take off until it dropped below the 200 mark.
Hopefully this will bring some much deserved support to nintendo from third party developers. This was one of the biggest problems with the game cube, but with how well the Wii is selling I don't see it following in the GameCubes path.
As EA and Ubisoft have shown you can turn a good profit on the Wii. I look forward to seeing what's in the future for nintendo in the way of third party titles.
personally I think the article is a little ridiculous considering there has been almost no info on it at all. Well we're at it why don't we talk about how the economy will be effected when it rains monkeys.
That said hopefully it will deliver as Sony has promised. If it doesn't it's going to be a cold and harsh day and probably year for the PS3.
Maybe I'm a pessimist but the complete lack of info makes me a little suspicious and weary.
Jolly1 Although I agree with you on your premise that says, "Little Big Planet doesn't seem to have amazing game play." You're still being a little ignorant.
You can't compare excite bike from the 80's to Little Big Planet user created content. That's a huge leap of reason. There's quit a difference between the two.
Now I do think Little Big Planet seems like it could get old pretty fast. Great physics will only push game play so far, and that's not ev...
These numbers overall have very little weight to them. They're tainted by the early adopters of the PS3. The PS3 owners overall have very little sway on deciding the leading format because they make such a small margin of the actual market. It is a good start though because it helps keep the backing of the movie companies, but it could easily be turned around once majority of the market starts adopting the new standard, be it HD-DVD or BlueRay.
Sony really isn't taking a risk overall. They're offering some thing that is very similar to the PS2. The only risk they took is using Blue ray as the format and thus jacking up the cost of the PS3 to unreasonable levels.
Starfleet I guess it's Sony's way of showing Europe their gratitude for supporting the PS2 so well.
I also find it funny he says he can charge more because every thing else is expensive. The funny part is not but 2 months ago the Wii, a "cheap console", got devoured by Europe. This just shows how out of touch Sony is with their consumers.
I don't know about in Europe, but here in America we believe getting more product per dollar spent is a good thing. ...
They've also apperantly stepped over the consumers in the process.
Seriously, "The real next-gen." Really Sony? Really?
I guess Sony feels they can tell me when I'm playing and having fun on a "real next-gen. console." But the last time I played a game on the 360 or Wii it was one pleasing, fun, and entertaining experience even though it wasn't, "the real next-gen."
Maybe the mass consumer base and I aren't understandi...
I'm sure if Sony sold 5 million units in 2 months, they wish, like Nintendo he wouldn't be able to be bragging about a superior supply chain.
A product being available doesn't always mean there is a continuous supply of them from the maker. It could also mean it's not selling that fast.
Sony really makes it extremely easy to dislike them, but maybe they'll staple this guys mouth shut and turn it around.
haha, nice one Wolfgang. It doesn't matter really what this dev says at the moment because the Wii is still saling amazingly. Pushing 5 million units in about two months is impressive. Apparently they are doing some thing right even if he doesn't agree.
I find it funny though how ps3 fan boys says that it's not the future when Sony has the exact same thing in their sixaxes controller and are also researching more into along with Microsoft. Even if Nintendo some how flops and th...
I know the oblivion news article is going to be hanging around forever even though it has been clearly shown the developers had an extra year to polish up the game for Sony's architecture, but I guess I'll take having a game a year early then waiting for it to be spruced up. Oo well let them keep trying to find comfort in the article, because we all know their reasoning is fallacious.
I'm sorry but this is extremely unfounded. Just because some people they know are arrogant pricks doesn't mean every PC gamer is. I've seen console gamers who are far more arrogant then any PC gamer I know. Hell just look at any of the multiple forum posts on this page.
By the way you can build a top of the line PC Rig for about 1,000$. It will last for an average of 2 to 4 years depending on the game engine release intervals. A lot of the extra stuff people buy is only extra a...
