Yup, Microsoft has been gobbling up any people who podcast about the Xbox 360 and are good at their job. What department to they hire them to? Community. Nelson from Achievement Junkie's job is just to surf the internet forums and see what people are buzzing about and what really has them excited so Microsoft knows which direction to take their ship.
Bubble!
Great, well thought out, comment. Bubble for you.
An additional thought to add: We're not even out of 2007 yet and people want award 2008 to a console?
Games are all ready getting pushed back for the PS3. I wouldn't be surprised to see a handful get pushed back to 2009. Example of a game getting pushed deeper into 2008: Haze.
I am sorry but the PS3's attach rate will never come close to that of Xbox 360's because people were originally buying the PS3 because it was the CHEAPEST BluRay player on the market. That been a proven fact. Hence why their game sales are always so underpar compared to their hardware sales.
And, as it has been proven VG Chartz is just faulty in general. Take Mass Effect. At the time Microsoft had come out and confirmed that Mass Effect had sold 1 million copies meanwhile VGC ...
Sure you'll see Ninja Gaiden 2 ported to the Sony family....
On Playstation 4.
And it'll be known as something like Ninja Gaiden Omega.
As more and more comes out about Too Human the more excited I get about it.
The last trailer that I saw, the graphics appeared just below that of Assassin's Creed. Everything looked a bit off, just not tight. However, it does look promising!
I am wondering where they got the idea they were imidating Mortal Kombat. Was it something one of the children said in a statement? Or was it something a police officer said "it sounded like they were imitating a video game, you know like Mortal Kombat"?
The assault sounds more like something from the WWF than MK.
This is really no ones buisness and I would expect both to be somewhat professional over this.
Besides, his job is to rip the game apart. Her job is to clean up the mess after him. Sounds like any household!
This just got knocked to the top of my 'must have list' right in front of Ghostbusters.
I hope they are serious. This could be the biggest Non-April Fool's joke the internet has seen if they're just pulling our legs but God I hope not.
Yeah... with this site you just submit everything and hope stuff sticks with the masses.
I'm surprised at some of the stuff that gets rejected and some gets passed.
All a matter of timing :(
Kind of beat me to the punch. Microsoft owns the publishing rights to the first two games. It is that third game that is up in the air.
The texture problem (which I don't really see as a problem) is something related to the Unreal Engine 3. Even Unreal Tournament 3 for the PS3 shows this problem to some degree. This is not an Xbox hardware problem.
And if AI sold games we'd see a flip in sales between Uncharted and Mass Effect. Unforutnantly, team AI means crap to overall game play. In fact 99% of the time I don't even think about giving commands to my teammates unless I want to use their powers.
Two words: Mass Effect.
Also, buddy, please, let's move onto this generation please?
P.S. Oblivion is an RPG, might as well add that your list. Western companies can do FPS, RTS, and RPG!
Oh wait, how about racing!? Or! Or! Sports! No. The Madden franchise is not successful in any way.
Now, before you get into a hussy I disagree with your major critism of some of the japanese games.
Token X, Token Y, Token Z. So what? Every game ever created, when you look back at it, is easy to determine who the bad guy was, who the good guy was, and what was the succession of weapons you needed, or keys, or items of X.
Japense are not the only ones guilty of that. Oblivion, you were the Token Good Guy. No matter which way you cut it. The Token Bad Guy was the...
That is because you're averaging the entire month into weeks. You could do the same for every day of the month.
If the 360 sold 770,000 units in Novemeber that averages to 192,500 units per week (which you pointed out) to 25,667 units a day.
If the PS3 sold 466,000 units in Novemeber that averages to 116,500 units per week (which you also pointed out) to 15,533 units a day.
But averaging the numbers, as you have done, you've completely removed the ...
How the hell can anyone agree with the comments 'Blood 4 Oil' is making?
His comments are racists and uncalled for in this forum. This is a moment to say a prayer and respect someone who passed on serving a greater duty than any one of your children sitting behind you computers. Yes, each and every one of you. What you are saying and what you are agreeing to is not 'funny' and is not 'cool'. You are idiots.
You are able to use that computer, and you are able to p...
When it loads, where do you suppose that data is loaded into?
I'd like to see the article on Uncharted's loading sequence and the schematics on where it is going.
The other thing that has been bugging me: So what if Microsoft makes the HDD standard? Hardcore gamers that wanna play those games all ready have one. If they don't, guess what? you're going to have to upgrade! It hasn't been unreasonable to see people dish out a hundred bucks for the game and the extra...
No, of course not. The rest of the world's anti-gun culture is really preventing those random shootings.
Just like in Finland. *gasp!*
I feel much safer in my home with a pistol than I do without one in the home. At least I know I have a chance of defending myself and my loved ones from stupid tripped out cocaine addict or drunk-ass 8th year senior who thinks he owns the world.
Also there is a fundamental reason why our consitution provides us with...
I'll agree on UT3 but I doubt it will be a system seller, it is going to be multiplatform. If you were sitting on your hands waiting to get a PS3 because of UT3 than you are a one dimensional gamer.
Moving on, for those that wanted the Orange Box they have either bought it for the PC (which everyone has one of!) or for the Xbox 360. If they wanted it badly enough that they'd have to choose a system why would they choose the, as IGN just recently put it, the "slower cousin&...
Also let's not forget that VG Chartz inflates Xbox 360's numbers according to most of the anti-Xbox posts.
Hmm, a quick check over there shows VG Chartz reporting the 360 has only sold just barely over 16 million units and Mass Effect has only sold 1.18 million. Yeah. VGC is all about inflating the Xbox.
