Anyone notice that there doesn't seem to be any lights? Are they hidden behind transparent plastic or what? How do you know if it's on or on stand-by? (along with the other light cues).
"Sony is attacked for having a high price, now they're probably gonna be attacked for cutting the price."
They haven't even cut the price and we're already starting to see criticism. It's ridiculous.
Unless it's just a really stupid corporate decision, Sony's not going to cut the price unless it's fiscally possible.
You want them to slash $150 off the price at the very least? Sorry charlie. $299 is a very good price point and Sony will see an increase in sales if it happens.
It's only 2 days away, I'm sure you all can wait that long. ;-)
Yeah that boss killed me... when I was trying. But then again I kept looking around and kind of marveling at the scale at the same time.
I almost feel like the Uncharted boss should be added to this, simply because the kill was so anticlimactic. But the rest of the boss fight was decent, so I don't know.
^ The same with the first Resistance.
COD4 failed to move me like it did for the author. It worked as a story, but I wasn't particularly engaged by it. For the most part, it just seemed like a good excuse to move between locations. There is one exception, the end of Act 1 (if that's what I'm thinking of) was definitely unsettling (it's where you ride in the car, right?). Not that the Campaign was bad, it was pretty good, but COD4's draw for me was always the online.
"You guys are idiots! Sony isnt' going to release a PS3 within its 3rd year! The PS3 Slim is probably just starting production but I KNOW 100% it's not probable to be released this year."
Recorded. Thanks. ;-)
"Anyone that has been here since the PSX, is a true Sony fanatic, if you started with a PSONE, PS2, or PS3, your a wannabe Sony fanboi."
Ummm.. Thanks? I don't really want to be a fanboy, so I'm glad I started with the PSOne. Be...
Now I don't know much about computers or how the architecture in any of the next gen systems work, but doesn't the RAM make the theoretical polygon counts irrelevant?
I'm sorry, but there's just no way the 360 (not Xenos) is capable of rendering twice the number of polygons as the PS3 (not RSX). You simply can't just take one part of the whole architecture to prove a point. The architecture in both machines works together to create what we see. And surprisingly the results are pr...
The logic is wrong, but the verdict is probably correct.
The huge install base of the PS2 is irrelevant. God of War is a hardcore franchise, it's about demographics, not percentages. Look at the sales for MGS4 vs. the sales of the other MGS games. They aren't that different even though there's a huge difference in install base. Casuals and kids don't play God of War. Casuals and kids are always last to enter a generation.
God of War 3 will sell similarly to it's pred...
You do that.
Killzone 2 is amazing. But Uncharted 2 beats it in textures. Animations are close. Uncharted has all the variations. Killzone 2 has the hit detection system. I think Killzone wins in physics and lighting. Uncharted wins in story and characters.
Different styles that work for different games. They should both blow you away.

The commentary is wrong. This is not the first time you meet Elena. She introduces herself as "last year's model" before this. I'm fairly certain you meet her before you go into the temple to get the dagger. Maybe even before then.

I've seen the footage before (and read about it) but generally I did enjoy the commentary. Definitely going to download the HD ver...
Gadzooks. The leather straps alone look like a generational leap. I was afraid that this comparison might only be cutscenes, thank goodness it's not. Wow, awesome stuff.
I really like Drake's new, darker shirt and stubble beard. It lends more to his character.
Ugh, 2010 is going to rape my wallet. I'm a little disappointed in them though. They said it was "definitely coming this year" on the Live Chat on the PS Blog.
I'm thinking I'm going to have quite a few "late Christmas gifts" this year.
I believe he means that Sony will steal the show FROM MS. Don't worry, it confused me too the first time I read it.
There's a third option though. Sony confirms some of the rumors, but not all of them. Perhaps you might be disappointed somewhat, but not completely because of all the things they DO announce.
No analog nub on the PSP? Amateurs...
Is this really a big deal? They've shown tons of gameplay footage already, now you want something new to play just to whet your appetite?
It's disappointing, sure, but I don't think it's a big deal. It's a sequel that will be much improved both in the storytelling and how the gameplay is presented. But the actual gameplay mechanics haven't changed much. So if you want to know how Uncharted 2 plays, play Drake's Fortune. And if that's still not enough, there's a multiplayer demo t...
Knew this was coming soon (SonyStyle said they would not be restocking Uncharted after that "sale" last month) but I was impatient and bought it used for $35. So I could have saved $5 and my money would have went to Naughty Dog if I had waited a month. Oh well. I knew this could happen. It's still a great game and Naughty Dog will be getting my money with the sequel.
If you haven't picked it up yet, do so now. There's no reason to wait any longer.
It would be nice if the orbs were removable in controller mode, they look like they'd be in the way. However, I like the way they look when they're apart. Though I'd think it would be easy to hit a button when trying to use the sticks.
It's very interesting though.
I like the 30 day idea better =). The download speeds on launch days is going to be killer.
The problem with the "COD-like" controls is it makes it a pain in the @ss to use cover with those controls. I use the default for single-player and the COD ones for online. I got used to the default controls fairly quickly. Then again, I use cover constantly.
Otherwise, you brought up some valid points. I think 8 seems a little low, given the quality of the game, but I don't know how strict you are in your scores.
