Obviously the article writer has got a bit confused over numbers, no way would it be 40 million unique attempts its going to be a lot of retries from the same people but the numbers are still going to be huge and represent a large number which is yet again another reason why the PC format is slowly being dumped by developers in favour of consoles.
Intelligent use of the gamepad as a controller negates the need for a mouse and keyboard as FPS games have shown. I started out on mouse and keys with the original Wolfenstein and Doom games. When I first bought a console I vowed never to buy FPS games because they didn't have mouse and keys yet now I buy all my FPS on the console format.
C&C3 on the 360 had a poor controller method, all an RTS needs is an intelligent menu system. Use the analogue to move a cursor, one but...
I have pre-ordered this game and really looking forward to it now - that video looks awesome!
I'm starting to wonder if Thompson is an employee of Rockstar as his constant gibberish only serves to publicize the GTA series more. It must be sad for him knowing when he does pop his clogs he will have to be buried in an unmarked grave.
If they can't do an XBOX Live version you won't get a PSN version as they won't want to upset fans just before the release of their premium title Battlefield: Bad Company and potentially have sales hurt by angry fans boycotting the game. Sadly I think Microsoft's draconian control over XBOX Live stops us getting a lot of content on PSN free that developers used to give away free on PC versions like new maps etc. They figure if they charge on XBL they can charge on PSN or indeed must charge on...
I already have Sky+ but I'm considering buying PlayTV as an addition to the Sky+, no more squabbling over recording channels and I can stream to my PSP.
Its no demo, no demo I've ever played has provided so much content and no demo I've ever seen has generated such interest that a major manufacturer develops new hardware (Logitech) to tie in with the release of the game.
Unreal Tournament has always been about mods and community involvement and lets remember a lot of the game designers out there today started by making mods for other games so while there are some truly amatuer efforts out there you can also find a lot of great maps and mods and at least on the PC and PS3 you can enjoy them.
I owned a 360 for two years before trading it in for a PS3. Forza 2 was the game I played most on my 360 and I spent countless hours there.
Graphically of course GT5: Prologue is far ahead of its rival, that’s really plain to see and only a raving fanboy would try to convince you otherwise. The lighting, the detail on the London circuit for example really are breathtaking and I'm one of those racing game fans who needs to have a believable looking surrounding to immerse me in t...
The UK forums have been down a week while they integrate forum accounts with PSN accounts, maybe this extra downtime for the store will also bring HOME beta?
This is a late april fool right? who's he going to drag next into court? mother nature?
Rather than his '101' on how to respond to the article the article is a '101' on how to get a run of the mill blog site more hits by posting something contentious. The follow up article is just self serving IMHO. I'm a PS3 and PSP owner and silly arguments like those posted on that site are a waste of time and energy.
A lot of money wasted when it RROD's. I can imagine some dumbass MS tech furiously trying to scrub it clean like they did to that kid's Bungie autographed 360.
Dunno but someone by the guy a neck, looks like he lost his
They try to mess aroudn with the control each year to deflect attention away from the fact that the yearly release is just a roster update. Just make a new next gen engine and use that for a couple of years, give us the roster updates but make them download content. A lot of users will still buy the roster update but every player will have a standard game package to learn and master.
This is Nintendo of old, how quickly people forget. Nintendo comes into this generation as the underdog against MS and Sony and everyone loves an underdog so Nintendo begin to flourish but as soon as they are in a stronger position they revert back to the Nintendo of old, they try to control everything, tell the fans what they want and become arrogant.
Bubbles for you! Completely agree, with a large selection of cars, 6 tracks with alternate routes, 16 player multiplayer and GT TV how could anyone call it a demo? How many demo's inspired a completely new hardware product like the Logitech GT5 wheel?
The Mail is generally one of the more newsworthy papers, the lefties don't like it because its critical of the Labour party but anyway onto the story itself...Anne Diamond is a dried up old harridan. She's fast becomming the Mary Whitehouse of this era and the usual 'talking head' rolled out whenever the media feel the need to point fingers at gaming for all the worlds ill's.
Its good for Microsoft for grabbing headlines but any gamer or parent with a bit of common sense who has looked a little further than price will see the ammount of money you'd have to spend to make the system comparable with the PS3 such as the HDD, play & charge kit, XBOX Live subscription, wireless network adaptor not to mention the one upgrade they can't get and thats the winning next gen DVD format - Blu-Ray.
This is nothing new, PC hardware and its upgradability means it will improve on the current crop of consoles in their present life cycle until they release a new model. Its been the same each generation but you have to spend huge ammounts of money on a PC to get the same performance you do out of the current next gen consoles such as the 360 and PS3.
For the price of a decent graphics card you can buy either one of the next-gen consoles and a few games and enjoy playing it in ...
