We may already be seeing a shift.
It seems that Paramount can be bought off the "winning" format for only $150 million, and they wouldn't take the deal if they could make more with bluray.
Apple has turned, and stockholders wouldn't be happy if its just over a grudge. Rumors are all over about Warner and Disney possibly taking a step toward HD DVD.
When it comes right down to it, though, no onlooker can tell how the war is really going. ...
I'm an epic guy too. I loved Mega Max X, all the fights against Sigma, building up to fighting Zero, it was all great.
Then again, a computer virus was never an enemy before that, either.
I guess epic and creative aren't mutually exclusive as you seem to believe.
So IGN was wrong, and you're right?
Not that I care that much about it, because I can make my own judgements if I want, but what makes your judgement more right than mine, if I think its bad, or the reviewer at IGN?
IGN was no more wrong that you are. It's all a matter of opinion.
Don't tell them that. You'll give them a heart attack. After all, the Wii is for kids, and there's no way they could enjoy something like that, fitting right in the 13-17 age range that really loves their "adult content," and if it doesn't have blood, gore, and, hopefully, sex, its not grown up enough for them.
Because Mario has none of that, the Wii is for kids, and nothing more, and trying to make them think otherwise is too much for them.
They should drop the price, and they probably will, but it won't be enough to make me want to buy it. They're losing too much money on the PS3 and selling too few consoles to make it worth it.
Sony is running out of time to get a foothold, if its not already too late. Developers need a lot of incentive (potential buyers) to spend up to 4 times as much as they would spend making a Wii game. When another console offers cheaper and faster development (both others do) as well as...
We need a little time off from a franchise to really love it. I saw someone list all the real Mario games, and we average one every 2 years! Don't think that's not a reason for its popularity for 20 years.
It's good Metriod is getting a little break. We'll love it more when it comes back.
Time to set up the TV by the computer so I can argue and game at the same time.
Yeah, next time I make the list, I'l going to save it in a word document, considering it seems I have to pull it out at least once a day.
Your comment is so good it makes the posts around it look almost good enough for bubbles...almost.
I agree, though. If you can make a lot of money on a hardcore AAA game, you'll still do it. Think of, for instance, SC2 (yay for not favoring a console!) Blizzard is no doubt spending millions upon millions of dollars to make the game, but they'll easily make back what they spent on it a few times over, and its a game that will be forever etched into gaming history.

I do hope you realize casual gamers buy all of those.
The 60% of PS3 owners that have no idea about bluray, they're casual.
Or maybe we just have different ideas on what casual and hardcore mean, but I would say if you don't know the basics of your system, you're casual, and the PS3 playing bluray, for instance, is something pretty basic.
Not that I could understand any of that, but if that's what he said, yeah, I have to agree.
Besides that, the only thing I took from that was that PS3s and the games for it come attached to rather muscular male bodies, quite possibly in an attempt to copy the idea that the Wii is good exercise, because I assume they would be so disgusted with flab or anyone that has less than 200 pounds of mucscle that they wouldn't let you play them until you had a body like them.
Only half of the people who know about the bluray feature on the PS3 say they use it, so you're 1.7 million gets cut in half.
850,000 players that are PS3, then, and 100,000 standalone. Suddenly, bluray doesn't appear to have a huge lead, anymore.
I really can't wait for thsi game. I like Harvest Moon. I like Civilization. I like Pikmin. And this sounds like all 3 of them rolled into one great game!
I hope they do put just a touch of online on it, allowing us to see other people's kingdoms. This doesn't sound like the kind of game you should be able to build a kingdom and war other people, but it does sound like it lends itself to seeing what others have accomplished.
So in western Europe bluray players are outselling HD DVD players by 19:1 and are only outselling 3:1 with discs?
There is really something very wrong in the world of bluray, but I can't quite see what it is.
Edit: Foliage, yes, I know that can make the results a little less balanced, but that's a huge gap I wouldn't expect to see even with the majority of HD players out there being PS3. It still doesn't feel good, or right, for bluray to be quite like that.
It's a sign of the world about to end! I, and I think many others will as well, clicked "agree" on a comment made by TheMART!
AO games should be done away with, or be made like NC-17 with movies. There is obviously a thiriving movie industry with NC-17 movies (the harshest rating), you just never see them in theatres. We either need to become accepting of AO games or start making NC-17 movies as bad as AO games, which would be the end of the porn industry.

Nintendo makes bad products? Oh, yeah, Virtual Boy. Actually, what you consider good and bad products could make a company make only good or bad products in your mind without any bias. I don't consider the 360 a good product, because of the high failure rate it had, and I don't have any interest at all in most of their games (like Halo), so, to me, MS doesn't make a good product if we look only at gaming.
But someone else may look at the power of the 360 and love it, and lik...
The war will be over, but the winner will still be around. This could replace the winner of the war, so it would replace one of them.
I always saw PCD as the next step, since proteins are easy to manipulate. Oh well, but if something new is this close, and word gets out to the masses, we might see DVD stay in control for a while longer.
What? You're waiting for later with the Wii because its going to have to be so different from past Civ games, because the Wii has a pointer style control?
And here I was thinking I was playing Civ 4 with the mouse controlling the pointer...
Seriously, I don't get it. The Wii controls more closely resemble a computer game than any other control system (only the DS would come close). I would think it would be the first one you work on, sense it can be made so mu...
Because, in Japan, it doesn't.
If we compare, the Wii isn't even doing that well in Japan, because look at those DS numbers!
