I love this series. It's not a graphics powerhouse (and the next-gen version in no exception) but it's a damn fun game.
I eagerly await a NA release.
According to various charts I found,
At 2 years on the market, the PS2 was around 18-19 million units worldwide.
I usually don't play MP until after I've played the story. So, if there are issues with MP, hopefully they will be worked out by the time I finish the game.
This could be interesting if Sony does it right:
1. Sell their 1st party games online and in retail with two versions: $39.00 for online and a "basic" disk version, i.e. what PS3 games are now.
$59.00 for Collectors or Limited Editions (instead of the $79 it is now).
2. Work out a deal with 3rd party publishers and devs to offer a similar deal for online. As for retail, they can keep the LE and CE at their normal price, but offer the regular versions ...
It could very well come out this year. The trailer, if you remember, was said to have been created last year. I mean, that is when Jaffe saw it and commented on it.
Even at the early stages much of the character models and other assets seem to be in place. It would only be a matter of continuing to polish it and building on it from that.
It's no surprise. He was COD: MW biggest "celebrity" advocate when it was released. If you listened to the "Opie and Anthony Show" he would be on there talking about the game, as would fellow comedian Robert Kelly. Kelly would always complain that Dane Cook was too awesome at COD: MW and that he would just run around killing people with the knife.
Hell, Lazlow of GTA fame is a friend of the show and gave the scoop on the DLC months before it was officially re...
Oh don't get me wrong, I love COD: MW (the story alone was amazing and, at the very end, kinda sad) and will probably love COD: MW2.
But apparently, the standards for fps has changed and the whole "shooting enemies and advancing" dynamic can no longer be tolerated.

I know the history of stimulus spending in this country as well as others. But the difference is that in the 1930s, there was no oversight and no means to track what was being spent and how. Also, the ideological slant of the 1930s was more about keeping the federal government OUT of the affairs of the states--thanks in large part to fears of the spread of communism and communist ideology (You have to remember, people in this country overwhelmingly supported Adolf Hitler's ri...
It's more like a "Why is this little green retard trying to attack me with his ass" thing.
Don't make it a fps where you "shoot bad guys, advance, blah, blah, blah"
otherwise it will not be anything new and innovative.
You people don't even know what socialism is. But it's funny to watch you throw that word around like it means anything.
But hey, I guess spending $280 billion on tax cuts, $40 billion to find ways to lessen our dependence on foreign oil, $7 billion for environmental cleanup projects (cause what's the use of having money for your kids if they live in toxic waste dumps), $7 billion to repair and modernize the DOD and $6 billion for things like increasing airport and border securit...
Of course Mario and Luigi beat Ken and Ryu.
Luigi's retarded and we all know true warriors don't pick on the handicapped. And Mario can grow to like 100X his normal size.
So while Ken and Ryu are trying to figure out what to do with Luigi, who's running at them a** first (see SSBM for reference), Mario just steps on them.
Of course it knows how retarded that statement is.
It's almost as retarded as the belief SO 4 won't come to the PS3.
You can bet this is one game he actually played.
graphics are one thing, but this game seems to suffer the same technical problems that other 360 rpgs have suffered--stuttering animation and poor frame rates.
Regardless of how you feel about graphics, in the type of battles SO is known for, those other two are unacceptable.
Except there are at least 6 PS3 titles that run native 1080p.
Damn La Chance, obviously you can't read either.
Folklore and Eye of Judgment are both disk based games. As is Valkyria Chronicles.
And as far as the rest being PSN games, I'd rather pay upwards of $15 for fun, creative titles than pay $60 for crap that TRIES to be creative.
But it's always quantity over quality with you guys, isn't it?
Except the financial figures are from the NPD group (North America). So they are, by law, required to be accurate.
But that isn't to say the article isnt wrong--especially since the total sales do not include worldwide figures.
Or Flow.
Or any of the Pixel Junk games
Or Everyday Shooter
Or Folklore
Or Echochrome
Or The Last Guy
Or Nobi Nobi Boy
Or EyePet
I said this the other day in another thread.
1. Sony should start offering their 1st part titles:
In both DD and Disks--
DD retailing for $39.99
Disks (w/ LE-style bonuses) at $59.99.
2. For 3rd party titles, Sony could work a deal with publishers to distribute their games online at a lower price point. In turn, they could also lower some third party fees in order to bring the price of disks down. That way they could sell 3rd party title...
