the funny thing is free to play will never catch on like most 'experts' think. First of all 'free' gives the immediate impression not a lot of work went into a game. Pay walls and disingenuously tricking people into ways where they have to pay are not what anyone wants - that isn't a long term way to keep a customer. Its a rouse, facebook games are on the decline; people eventually get sick of a system where what you get out of a game is how much you pay into it.
If only voting was as easy as logging into your game console and checking a box... but no most people have to get up and go visit a crowded election booth on voting day during the week when they work (don't forget your ID!). Well I'm not against this, as long as the opinions represented are voted on and aren't shown from who pays the highest dollar or are in MS's best interest - Which sadly I expect that to be the case with MS. With unlimited campaign funding, you'd think...
You add on the fact a lot of kids' parents can only buy one console, you get a lot of people with immature hate to defend their ego/console of choice. No one wants to admit they were wrong in this day and age it's pretty sad.
I was hoping sony could implement a hybrid type solution, so they game could be designed with no input lag, but still stream the majority of assets over the net.
Bring on the ram, as long as it doesn't mean waiting 2 minutes to load a level.
Wasn't Microsoft the company that sued Google to prevent them from giving android out for free, so MS could collect royalties? I guess what goes around comes around.
Saving timed exclusives and only for a the first part of next-gen, just like this one. I think we know their game well now.
Sony needs to hire someone to do a Journey sequel, since Thatgamecompany is no longer with them.
ok since 360 uses it's own proprietary wireless system, I'm assuming this will run over wifi? If that's the case people may be in for a nasty surprise with the latency on this thing. Or am I wrong and their wireless works with Bluetooth?
I thought honestly Sony would push this type of thing first, and they still might because of Bluetooth support, might be a good idea with thin client gaming that's rumored. I already can control my ps3 from my ipad, but it w...
how could they forget 'bam, there it is!'
There's also the effect that reviewers actually read other reviews before they post and adjust their score accordingly. I mean why wouldn't you since most of them don't want to be criticized for having a review that's different.
I've had the game since Friday (target.com sent it early on accident) The first section is kind of dull, but it picks up later on, get's less repetative. Graphics are hit and miss, lighting is nice but some models are low poly/detail. there's no frame-rate problems. It's a solid FPS and impressive to play something like it on a handheld, but it's still short of Insomniac's efforts. It is pretty close though. With that being said there's a whole boatload of gene...
These kind of practices can turn people off to gaming and spread bad information about gaming as a hobby. MS is effectively taking the industry down with them. Luckly it's a bit easier to go without a gaming system then a cell phone, so people aren't just going to hop into this like they've lapped up cell phones. People think there's no alternative for cell phones, for gaming they know there's a wii/wiiu.
Mag was a good game, the problem is it took Zipper 4 years to make it. Those years cost a lot of money in develop that has to be recouped.
I think no matter what Sony does, there will be various media outlets reporting Sony shot themselves in the foot before the console even makes it out.
honestly only 20-30% of games should even cost $60. Most games should charge $40. It's just every company wants to tout their big games as 'AAA' and if they cost less than $60 they're afraid people will think so - which isn't true. Sports games are a shame coming out every year at $60, $20-$30 is what we should pay considering the amount of work/effort they put into the updates.
I'm going to actually disagree, I went along with the hype about it looking worse for awhile. Now I actually have the game, the framerate is more jerky (why they didn't lock it to 30fps is beyond me it actually goes up to 60 at times) and the fog isn't quite the same - to be honest it's a little off putting. However I went ahead and booted up my old PS2 version on both my ps3 and ps2, even with it's faults the HD version looks a lot better than the old ones. I think it n...
Well right now metacritic is the about the best we got for game review averages, and it's weighed heavily in the industry. I know it's not perfect; but I'd hardly call my effort superficial. You have a right to your opinion. The chart is not proving any kind of motive (nor did I suggest it did), it's proving that the site gives better scores to 360 exclusive games than PS3 ones compared to what other websites give; and yes I think it does a good job of actually proving that. I...
I was hoping for a next Gen MAG, there's so much potential. Unfortuanely they didn't make too much money for Sony, so they have to be cut loose instead of weighing the rest of Sony's devs down. They had a great shot at getting some success back with Socom 4, but they drifted way off course with that one. Their biggest weakness is their inability to make varied environments this gen. All the levels they make look about the same.
The thing is they usually build the multiplayer out of already existing assets for the most part - So it may not be as much of waste of money and resources as you might think. It can be seen as a waste of the resources not to do some kind of multiplayer mode out of it.
