And this game is freakin' sweet.
It's kind of like Fallout 3 meets Diablo; a mutant hybrid that looks like a graphic novel that you can play through with other people.
With guns. LOTS of guns.
The perfect game has been discovered...and it's *Bayonetta*??!
I mean, she's got a sweet ass and delightfully improbable proportions; but damn. Must be lonely over there at Fapitsu.
I'll give it the benefit of a doubt: it may turn out to be as good as Okami in terms of gameplay, and with jiggle physics FTW! ..Or it might be an ill advised venture into Castlevania-meets-dominatrix-p orn territory.
A $100 price tag on your yearly multiplayer experience. Wow. I can get a LOT of stuff on the PSN for that kinda dough. Add-ons, games, themes, premium content...
So is this like that whole thing with the banks screwing up, bleeding cash and then getting the taxpayers to pay for it?
'Cause, it really seems like it. Microsoft Entertainment bleeds red ink, then jacks up the price on subscriptions? I think that would tend to piss off even the most loyal fanbase. No...
The major problem is storage - Microsoft should just bite the bullet and get licensing from Sony for Blu-Ray.
Cloud-based gaming isn't going to overtake discs for a while yet; so they're missing out on higher quality/double storage in a stubborn refusal to admit defeat in the format war. And the games get hamstrung as a result.
If you make something 'foolproof' only fools will use it. If you make something 'hackproof'...
Adding extra DRM and suchlike doesn't discourage hackers; quite the opposite. It's like waving a flag that says 'hack me! hack me!'
I don't know exactly how one would go about discouraging hackers, (maybe find a way to lower game prices from their currently ridiculous price tags?) but extra protection isn't the way.
Several months old, in fact - I remember reading about this back in April. Now all the game sites are rehashing it; what's the deal?
Another 'meh' article spiced up with a flamebait title.
We won't see the beginning of the cloud computing era until the Internet is connected, high-speed and dirt-cheap everywhere. And it isn't, yet.
Good for Sony jumping on early, but IMHO it's a little premature. All the more so because the PSP never really caught on either. I use my iTouch more often.
..iTouch? What am I saying - ok, cloud computing is here. But it's still premature, darn it!
"Demon's Souls". That is my response.
I'll definitely be getting it when (not if) it comes out. Makes me wonder - if multi-platform becomes the norm, what are the real differences going to be between the consoles?
Maybe someday, we'll have cross-console gaming, and the only competition will be the same old one about graphics and resolution; and who can build the box that goes faster. The games will be available to everyone, regardless of platform!
Hey, a guy can dream.
Bubbles 4 U! I couldn't have said it better.
Though, my launch PS3 just overheated and died on me with the Flashing Red Light of Death...grrr...still, it lasted a few years.
Please tell me the next game-company bandwagon isn't going to be 'kid-friendly'. Can you imagine if they glom onto it like they did with casual gaming? If we start getting a huge raft of kiddie games, I'm switching back to a computer. (hmm, Starcraft maybe..)
I can't for the life of me understand why I have a utility that allows me to make PS2 and PS1 virtual memory cards...and no backwards compatibility.
Who says I am? In actual fact, I'm *not* in it. It has long since been erased from my hard drive, freeing up space for actual games. Disagree if you like - but there's something wrong with a beta that spans years.
The point is that the people on the right are modern (you can tell from the clothing); the people on the left are not, they are 'avatars' or game characters.
The whole point of the 'transplant' and 'transfusion' metaphors is that the PS3 experience is so *real* that it is almost literally like being put into someone else's body.
But whoever came up with this as a marketing campaign should be fired and blacklisted. It certainly doesn't make me want to jump online; th...

Honestly, I found this one more disturbing; especially at the end. It's not the script - it's the look on the guy's face when the dog's licking her ear, and the subtext of the message.
Or maybe I'm just paranoid.
What, and then return it for a full refund if he isn't satisfied? Somehow, I don't think it works that way.
"..most ladies featured in video games look more like prostitutes than crime-fighting, evil-slaying heroes."
Can't they be both? Who is this guy to tell women they can't be crime-fighting, evil-slaying heroines *and* whore themselves out to horny fans on the side? 'Cause, that'd be, you know - really hot.
I have the Dead Space platinum trophy. ..Which is totally irrelevant - I'm just really proud of that. ^_^
Somebody unthaw me from cryo-stasis when this finally gets out of beta. Maybe by then I'll be excited. zzzzzzzzzzzzz
They're caught between licensing a competitor's technology, or losing ground to it. PS3 is gaining a bigger edge, and it's only widening with this 'clarification'.
Keep up, 360... yer laggin' behind...
