This is one of the most beautiful games that has ever come out, and, at least judging by the first one, will be a great game, as well as look pretty.
It's good to see games like this, because there aren't enough cartoon-y games. A game doesn't have to look real to be good, or look good.
It's not a contest between HD DVD and bluray, last I checked, though if you want to turn it like that...
How does it make you feel knowing that the PS3 is supposed to last up to 10 years and, already, bluray's limits are being pushed? Wouldn't the space on the disc dwarf the size of the early games if it was really future proof?
It seems to me, logicly, both formats aren't going to be around for long, if bluray is already being pushed so hard.
Now...
I find it amazing, looking though all the comments, how many people think it the responsability of Square to sell the PS3 with their games. It's not.
Sony needs to make the PS3 a good console on which to make games. If a game on another console can make more, the developers don't stop and think "maybe if we make a game for it, it'll sell better and we'll be able to sell almost as many copies." They think "this console has the characteristics we want, so we'll ...
Or maybe Ubisoft could buy a few million PS3s and give them away for free.
It's not up to developers to sell a system. Sony needs to move their PS3 to make developers WANT to make games for it. Developers shouldn't have to make must have exculsives, risk losing millions of dollars, and push their game to try to get the hardware to sell.
It sounds to me like FF14, or maybe even the FF7 remake, if it happens, may not be PS3 exclusive, or maybe on it at all. Loya...
Maybe that's because Sony was supposed to dominate, again, but it's not selling half as well as the Wii.
"I really enjoyed Twilight Princess, but couldn't help but feel like I was playing a Gamecube game"
You were.
Let's see what happens when people push the Wii, though. Mario Galaxy is quite possibly the most beautiful game this year. All systems will have their share of bad looking games, and when people try to rush to cash in on the system they didn't plan for games to go on, it ends up looking like...well...this.
I might actually give Ninjabread Man a rent. I doubt it will keep me interested for long, but I think it's quite possibly good enough for a rent.
I'm also actually looking at Dewy's Adventure. I'm not sure its enough to keep me into it for a long time, either, but it looks like it may well be worth one playthough, and I have a cousin that will enjoy it long after I'm done, I'm sure.
I'll be avoiding answering the phone so that none of my friends with Halo 3 can...
One week is a blip on the map. You do know, I hope, that there were several weeks where the DS was outselling every other console on the market in Japan combined. It shows FF is popular in Japan, and that we should see similar spikes for the PS3 and Wii when their FF games come out, not that the PSP is suddenly a god among handhelds in Japan.
I'm glad Sony is building things to last, because just as Sony fanboys like to wonder how many 360 sales have come from people buying t...
I could take a cheap RRoD shot, but I won't.
However, I will point out that on ebay, the 360 price is actually less than the price of the Wii, so its more like the Wii is a steak and the 360 is a cheap cheeseburger sold at a higher price, going with your analogy.
California has, I believe, less than 40 million people, while Japan has more than 125 million.
Also if you sold 500,000 systems in every state (ignoring those would be your goals for the biggest state, so your plans for others would be much smaller), you'd sell 25 million consoles in the USA, and considering this gen, there could well be over 200 million consoles out there, 25 million isn't much at all, and that's if you sold as many consoles in Alaska or Rhode Island as in Cal...
Both sides are trying to buy Warner, make no mistake about that. As Warner goes, if they go anytime soon, so goes the format war. They just have too many big movies, and both sides want those movies in their corner.
Bluray needs WB so they can overcome price with content, and HD DVD needs them so they can have more content than bluray. I picture WB, right now, as a snake running from hole to hole looking for the biggest rat to eat.
"HD DVD is paying me $2...
That's the PS2 last gen, right? Weakest graphics?
Contrary to 360 fanboy beliefs, graphics don't mean everything. The games mean the most (at least Sony is working on this, more than MS can say). Then it has to be cheap enough for everyone who wants it to get it (Sony needs to work on this). Then things like graphics come in a distant 3rd in importance.
That's why the PS2 left the Xbox and GC at mid-20% market share, each, last gen, though the Xbox and GC wer...
4 million is an aweful lot. I think it will be somewhere around a million seller, which in itself is good.
One big thing that will hold it back, though, is Mario and SSBB comming out for the holidays as well. No one would blink of Mario Galaxy or Brawl broke 10 million sales, and comming out in the same time frame as both of them will really hurt all other games around that time.
Million seller? Ehh...probably. It'll be close. 4 million? Don't hold your bre...
Nintendogs must be comming to the Wii, using your own real pet.
"In Xbox name I pray" should be "In Bill Gates name I pray," I think.
Anyway, I would give you bubbles for that, but I already did for knowing basic math in another story.
Funny stuff, though.
It certainly doesn't hurt Nintendo that Wii Play, and, most likely this, are good games in and of themselves for the price you pay for them.
It feels a little like what Sony is doing, except I want the game and the zapper, while I don't want bluray. Both are forms of a trojan horse approach, though, Sony with their game console and HD format, so that a sale for one can help sales of both, and Nintendo with an accessory and a game, so an attachment for one is an attachment for ...
The format war is too popular for most people to take time out of their busy days to read this, but it's a wonderful read, much more interesting than most things in the tech section.
As far as graphics vs physics goes, I'd say physics are far more important. SNES graphics were good enough for me, and, while I value good storylines and good gameplay more than anything, physics can be important to both.
Look at Monkey Ball to see how a good idea and good physics, ...
I think we need to have a system set up where you don't have bubbles and can just post as much you want where ever you want.
I'd like to say something to MK's post, but I think you already cleared it up nicely, and put my exact thoughts better than I could have.
I can prove the PS3 price cut didn't happen, then, too.
Just look at the week before it happened, Sony was denying a price cut like crazy.
That's as much proof that the price cut never happened as you have that Capcom isn't stopping development on games for the PS3 for a while.
This may just be a rumor, but surely you learned your lesson that just because a company says something doesn't mean its true.
We don't know if its true or no...
"But the thing is going in circles. People won't buy a console unless there are good exclusives and developers won't develop for a console unless there are people that own the consoles. It is like a never ending circle. The only way to solve that is for one side to give."
First part games can come out. How many 360's do you think would have sold without the promise of Halo 3? Nintendo, though the 64 and GC era sold almost totally on their first party games. Sony ca...
