I'm sure we'll hear about the NPD 'sales.'
Funny I bought video out for my original PSP, used it maybe 2-3 times then said heck with it. Even the PSV doesn't have 720p graphics; they won't look as good as PS3 games blown up so it's not worth it. Besides the PSV has a fricken OLED screen - why would you want to downgrade?
Twisted Metal wasn't shown because it's hard to show off a 60fps game at 30fps - you gotta see it in motion.
Sony just showed its cards early: Uncharted 3, Resistance 3, PayDay, and Starhawk were all uncovered before the show. Yet they still reviled 2 new core exclusives.
The Wii U versions of those 3rd party games aren't even close to ready to be shown - what they have right now probably looks worse than the PS3/360 versions. I don't see how Nintendo...
Meta-critic loses much of its legitimacy being tied so heavily to Edge.
Oh please don't speak for what's embarrassing for the 'PS community' when you're clearly not a part of it. You make fun of a minority of posters at the same time come off as less intelligent than the posters you wish to insult. Fortunately for your sake I won't tell you you're embarrassing to the '360 community'.
Yea I know the guy has said some stupid things before, but what he says is pretty true - there's no need for all the hate here.
Can someone say 'Cherry Picked' quotes for this story. He's really reaching to make something out of nothing.
The endless speculation continues about what Kinect's 'Amazing possibilities' will be like in the future - yet we're already 2 cycles of software in and the results of the 2nd gen aren't any more impressive than that of the first. This is an attempt to point out functionality in a system that will never come to be, and to have people continue buying it based on 'future potential'.
The people programming kinect are not hackers in the sense of the s...
Because Sony owns the publishing rights to the game in the west - it won't happen on Sony's dime. Because SE doesn't want to produce the game for one platform - it won't happen on SE's dime. I think there needs to be some sort of middle ground met here between Sony and SE splitting the profits.
Agreed, PS2 hardware is very difficult to emulate accurately, and It's not going to convince third parties to develop on the platform to have people buying used PS2 games at gamestop instead of new PSV games. My guess there may be PSStore PS2 downloads of games for PSV (Maybe PS3 too) that aren't feasible to remake in HD.
It is a shame too, and Sony does deserve ridicule for it. There may be a few cases where disk space enabled it to happen though.
However, that doesn't get MS off the hook.
From what we know about the microphone technology, yes.
@reply to your second comment:
Voice recognition never impressed anyone when it was done in the past in squad based shooters.
On PS3 they would have to use different software - we still have yet to see if MS's voice control software is as magical as they advertise - right now it's only been limited to a small amount of commands. Covering the whole English language might turn up different...
"As far as headsets go, perhaps there is something more to how the kinect picks up on the person talking as opposed to the basic nature of a headset."
I see this as needless speculation based on what MS's marketing wing lead you to believe. I'd like to see some facts before we can jump to that conclusion. Right now the facts we have state otherwise.
As far as I see it there's very little difference between this and a headset - they use ...
Both this game and the Witcher seemed to hint at a timed exclusivity deal. There's very little reason to believe, with Microsoft's history, that these titles won't eventually show up on PS3 as well at a later date. Exclusivity takes you away from your primary goal of having a console - making money.
It doesn't make sense to buy console exclusivity from a 'making money' prospective - It completely limits what they could make from a third party game. This is about enhancing the Xbox Brand, with profits coming in the future if they're able to gain market-share with it.
Heavy hitting 3rd party exclusives, while they had them early on in this gen in mass, are prohibitively expensive to pay for this late in the game.
Without a convincing argument how developing exclusively on their platform will enhance a game and poor relationships with developers, they'll have to pay up front whatever a PS3 version would potentially receive in an almost 'best case' scenario. It's much, much more than it was early on in this gen. It's also...
Nintendo will cut the price, but probably not till next year - they don't want to alienate their early adopters.
hey folks buy an drastically overpriced peripheral so MS can make money off the ridiculous profit margins using the cheapest component that you already have in PSeye and the free microphone that came with your xbox.
This is akin to MS charging for Xbox live - it's completely unnecessary.
Not really, they just port some 3rd party code over to the console - that's what they did for Socom anyway. All the work is already done.
Seems like they announced everything they had as well - that's not really playing it safe in my books. Keeping cards close to your chest like Nintendo and Sony did is playing it safe.
