In North America, Microsoft isn't going anywhere.
In Japan, Sony isn't going anywhere...
...and pretty much EVERYWHERE, Nintendo is still marching to the beat of their own drum ahead of the entire pack.
Any way you slice it, no matter what system you own, you have good games, you have a great console, and no amount of fanboy b!#*hing should make one difference. Argue all you want but I know my three consoles are all great in their own respect and no amo...
...so says my Trophy list, also through official channels, not some Street Date breaking retailer. Pretty discouraging that retailers still turn a blind eye to Street Dates, not so for the luck gamer I suppose...but still.
While I can appreciate new and superior control mechanics, RE has already been re-done in a number of forms and they were good. Resident Evil on the GameCube STILL looks fantastic. I'd much rather Capcom and the team behind RE concentrate on reinventing the series and make a good NEW comeback to Survival Horror...not another remake...again...for the umpteenth time.
I truly hope this is just some sick joke...I was really looking forward to to the console release of The Witcher. Now I'm going to have to scrape together enough cash to assemble a PC simply so I can play the game?
Typical Xbox fodder...Sony is in dire straits? Seriously? Tell that to the PS3 owners who don't have nearly as many issues (if any) that those who own a 360 do. I'm sorry, but couple this with a powerful lineup of 1st Party and In-House dev titles and it's a winning combination. Sony isn't done yet and they're certainly not in such a poor position to take this generation, especially considering they're the only console who has a 10-year life-span proven by the previous 2 iterations of the...
See, I'm with the greater populous who believes that "NEW" is the cryptic oust in this quote. A remake really isn't "new", simply redone.
This is fantastic news, however, according to the registration site I need to enter the code found in my Special Edition Manual...anyone else missing this?
What are you talking about, the rights are owned by Namco Bandai, not Microsoft. There was no localization agreement between NB and Microsoft whatsoever.
Xbox 360 gets exclusive panty-wearing Robin...EIDOS hates you all!
Man, wouldn't that be a slap in the face. IF Eidos went all Namco-Bandai on us and gave each platform a goody baddy variant, whooo...again the PS3 would win out with cool factor.
...really seem to be the only ones not whining about this. I have both CONSOLE versions, so really I'm not at all that miffed about it. I am left a bit disgusted that there IS, indeed, this attachment to the 360 & PC versions being the definitive versions, with the PS3 version looking like sloppy-seconds.
It really doesn't make sense considering that aside from some of the smaller DLC, the PS3 version of Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion looked better, had a more consistent framer...
Can all wax on about your additional sparkles while I knock the crap out of the inmates with Joker.
Who the hell cares about graphics? Everyone makes these arguments and I'm sorry, my household is multi-console and I haven't seen a single title on the 360 that just SCREAMS superiority.
Joker, as if my money wasn't already with the PS3, you just sweetened the deal.
Sony had/has to deal with it, why should Nintendo get a free pass especially considering they're flagrant disregard for the fanbase that made their empire what it is today.
I don't agree with that logic. Japanese developers don't rely on Japanese gamers to float...they rely on gamers of all denominations, and it's been spoken publicly that Japanese Devs cannot compete with Western development so, really...who is winning what where?
Leading in sales really shouldn't be too hard considering they had an entire years head start.
That said, it's taken the 360 3 years to reach the 20+ million mark...27.93 million as of February '09, the same mark Sony met in its 2nd year...21.3 million (as of December 31, 2008). While the 360 is certainly leading in worldwide sales by those figures, it's doing nothing but gaining momentum, while interest in the 360 subsides.
It's the same story every generation. So...
Really Halo3? From my perspective (and the hard numbers) it doesn't seem anything like what Microsoft is going through in Japan. Sony is far from hurting the way Microsoft is hemorrhaging cash overseas simply to outsell PlayStation 2 by such a slim margin.
Sure, you're trying to label me as a fanboy because you think I'm only concentrating on the negative? Some of my favorite gaming moments were on an Xbox...not an Xbox 360 mind you, though I do have some. I loved Kameo but RARE has yet to reproduce a game of that caliber. On the original Xbox, Knights of the Old Republic, Knights of the Old Republic 2 and Jade Empire ranked amongst my top 25 RPGs of all time...and Fable. While I think Fable, especially the Lost Chapters was a far better ga...
...how much better Microsoft could be if they just gave up on Japan and concentrated on the territories that are, seemingly, flourishing? I mean, hell, I love my PlayStation 3 and it is my primary console of choice. But if Microsoft speaks the truth about leading the console wars in North America and Europe...imagine what they could do with all that extra cash from the abandoned Japan territory.
Timed exclusives on Xbox? Am I missing the point that anyone from anywhere can import any PS3 game to play on ANY PS3 system pretty much negating any foothold Microsoft could hope to have on having a TIMED EXCLUSIVE on something like...H.A.W.X.
And your Sony list...way to list a bunch of titles that are already out and dated. Is this supposed to strengthen your argument? I mean, WTH is The Last Guy doing on your list? That was released last year...what's the point? Way to sk...
So what lesson should we have learned here?
1. Japan's trailers are TOO LONG!!
2. There are exactly 6 titles in this lengthy trailer that are EXCLUSIVE!!
3. Meaning the other 25 titles are multi-plat.
4. And of those multi-plat titles, most of them are garbage/old/western-centric.
Okay Microsoft...I'll give you this win, but only because I feel sorry for you.
I enjoyed World at War. I felt it was a far more enjoyable experience than Modern Warfare, and to be honest, M.A.G. will be getting my holiday money, not Modern Warfare 2. I'll just wait for the inevitable double-dip GOTY edition with extra crap down the road...and at a discount no less.
I'm sorry but I just can't get with this camp that speaks to the tune of Infinity Ward can do no harm. Perhaps I just can't agree that modernized combat is something I need to see. I see it o...
