I don't think this is how it'll work.
On Final Fantasy 7 in the first tower after getting Red the teams slit up into 2 parties and the game swichs from one to the other slowly advancing the plot. The Same thing happened in FF8 near the end to beat the ultima weapon you had to split up so the one party was at ultimas (spoiler info removed) to kill him.
Here though instead of switching back and forth at key points in the story action go's split screen and both screens are ...
It doesn't matter to me if it has a 3 year warranty. Sure a warranty is great if you want to save money but, Some people aren't that forthcoming. If i'm in the middle of my game and a broken console is holding me back i'm going to buy a backup or get a fast turnaround warranty. I've seen enough people say "i'm on my third box" to realise one thing.
To have little or no gaming downtime owning 2 consoles is a surefire alternative to returning a console and waiting. What...
I don't see how you can call it FUD, unless your speaking to 1.0.
When my console broke I baught another one. I figured might as well get a second console. I have money anyway. After sending it in it took less then a week turn around. I'm happy buying a backup I assume others feel the same. So taking my experience into account it's hard not to imagine how many people are just like me and made the same choice. I wanted a second one anyway or I don't want any downtime because i'm...
Wow, why do people not think about this when they post numbers as sales?
Devs and other console fans may assume each of those consoles are being purchased by different users.
How many of those 17 million are from new purchases? Purchases for gamers that have never baught a 360 console and how many are repeat buyers. A repeat buyer only needs one copy of a game if they baught a second or third backup console.I just can't image the accuracy of attach rates if a per...
All these people buying new 360s when they break as backup instead of only sending them in for repair makes me think. "Sales figures" This guy baught a replacement from Walmart right?
Does this effect the total worldwide sales if this 33% failure rating does exist?
How many of those 17 million are repurchases? I'm just wondering.
Why would I buy a remake that isn't full fledged if I still own the original PS1 and PS2 versions?
Square, common sense here remakes should be done for todays technology. If you look at the movies industry when they did the movie "The Fly" it was in black and white. The remakes where in full color didn't reuse old clips or sounds. This seems like being lazy and to cheap creating shovelware for the masses.
So before you "remake" FF7 make it lik...
I've been a MORPGer for quite some time. I've noticed something about my gaming habits. These long games require so much time investment to achieve goals I rarely buy other games. It's like watching TV or posting on this site entertainment.
This might not have been the 100% meaning of this article but really. If a game is so addictive that you can't put it down how in the world are new IP's supposed to compete?
If your so happy about one game chances are you real...
"we are concentrating on ps3, but if there is one thing you can't argue is that 360 owners buy games"
Whatever happened to the game companies that made games to make them fun? The type where you make a good game that's so fun you don't need to worry about it making money.
Take Pong for instance. Those guys thought it'd be fun to bounce pixels back and forth.
There comes a point where the technical cost of development of games intimidate c...
I can't see well past 3 feet things start looking blurry. Yes I need eye-glasses or maybe contacts. The thing is with this high level of detail you'd need like 20/20 vision or higher to notice the difference at over 10 feet unless it's 100+ inches.
In my case I see everything as a blur so HD ultra wouldn't look much better fore me.
Wii is just to simple as a machine. It's easygoing easy to setup and cheap.
I think one reason why is selling well is because it's not engineered as a multimedia device. A lot of people still look down on the Wii like it's a toy. IMHO as a parent I'd buy my 8-10 year old $250 Wii over a $400-600 high tech computer device.
Don't get me wrong I love my Wii. It just makes me feel like buying a PS3 or 360 for an 8-10 year old is like buying a $1000 PC for kids to bre...
Removed comment after noticing the second Dark Sniper was an impersonater or has multiple accounts.
Darksniper & Dark Sniper aren't same account.
My sincere apologises for failing to notice this when posting, Thank You.
Sounds nice but I think making the list of games public list in bold red should be a priority.
Just saying 1st party games confuses people because not everyone knows what games are 1st party. When you give the full list to choose from it excites people more.
I want this, wait I want this, no this. I can't decide. ^.~
I think it's because they've made a choice. If someone makes a choice that conflicts with their interest they'll become upset if attempts are made to sway people away from their corner.
Lets take this format war as an example. If I'm an HD-DVD supporter and people are creating FUD, it conflicts with my choice. This conflict could result in me losing the money I invested in that format. On the other hand if I was a blu-ray supporter and heard good news I'd be happy to hear the f...
Your on live and you see advertisements. Wasn't these cards a way for MS to generate revenue for their business partners? MS has a large advertising agency and they seem to utilise its full potential. These cards from my understanding where investments from this agency to help generate revenue. If you give people a *discount card* the business who supports it gains customers interested in saving money.
This is like McDonalds sending kids free happy meal gift cards knowing for ...
I saw this way beforehand. I truly believe it was one of Sony's intentions to leverage the HD disc media market. I saw the effect the PS2 had on DVD as did Sony as It wasn't a complicated process. This is only an opinion but If they couldn't move PS3 consoles then this move by Warner would've been different.
IMHO, MS could have prolonged or countered this if the 360 included an HD-DVD drive from the start. I'm surprised they didn't. I guess they weighed the 360's overall cost a...
People have a choice. Not buying A PS3 or A 360 is their choice.
If I don't like MS Nintendo or Sony thats my choice. If I like the lineup on one console and not the other it's my choice. If I think reliability is important that's my choice. If I want blu-ray that's my choice.
What makes people "fanboys" you ask. I think it's because they've made a choice. If someone makes a choice that conflicts with their interest they'll become upset if attempts are made to ...
To me this idea would seem like it's not even an Xbox anymore, might as well call it an Xbox 362. Don't get me wrong it's still basically an xbox 360. It's just that if you upgrade something to this level (Including HD-DVD) in the sku you might as well say it's a new console. I say this because everyone using the older systems will be left behind if MS decides to utilise the HD-DVD for game storage.
To put it simply if this is true then the ultimate, will be an updated 360 mode...
Could be something like Live being free.
Could be Another price drop
Could be A new Halo type game.
Could be 3d using head tracking technology.
The one thing most of us can agree with is saying you have something big planned at an upcoming event attracts more attention. It also causes more speculation and rampant rumors. Obviously keeping it secret until the event only increases this drama significantly more then just making an announcement to the press.
This would in essence make the PSP a portable phone at any location with an internet hot spot.
From experience skype is extremely good voip quality.
It's like Secret of Mana and FF12 your friends could come and go at any point in the game. It doesn't mean you'd have to wait up with them. This would just allow a grate experience opportunity for 1-4 players to come and go. You could swich off to control each of them, let AI control them or have friends control them.
Truely genius for a FF caliber RPG game.
A little off topic: I really hope the next Kingdom Hearts game allows people to take over other party mem...
