Since when did MGS4 and KZ2 both get reviewed and then 9.5/10 and 10/10 respectively? These are from actual ratings from Trusted Folks? I'd love to know who these trusted folks are and how they actually reviewed games that aren't even complete yet. Are these "trusted folks" Doc Emmett Brown and Marty McFly and did they use their flying Delorian to go into the future and review those titles for you?
Reviews are done with final/retail versions of the games. Seeing...
9/10 (4.5/5) to I think that first review was a low as 5/10 or was it 6/10? That's a huge difference in scores. May this game is an acquired taste. It looks beautiful...but I'm wondering how long before I get bored with it? Sounds like one to rent first...usually when the scores very so much I either really like the game or really hate the game.
This is really really sad. A game can't get a good or mediocre review without fanboys screaming conspiracy theories. Its just plain pathetic. Lets look at this a lil more objectively.
I can understand why the reviewer gave Warhawk 6.5/10 review. There's just not a whole lot to the game. Its not as deep an experience as WoW. The graphics are....okay...but that's usually the same with all multiplayer online games as graphics take a hit when more characters are on screen. Ho...
I read the article and until I get proof from a more reputtable site(no offense to the xf guys) I'm filing this one under BOGUS. No official directorial/casting announcements, no production schedule, no nothing. The halo live action stuff at E3 could have been from prop testing or put together for e3 as stated. They could have put the props together for the film but then once it was suspended Msoft decided to film the live action snippets for e3. I'm having a hard time buying this. A sec...
Most of the people on here including M. Patcher in the original article seem to find sony blameless and claim that it was EA's "laziness" that caused Madden 08 to have a lower framerate on PS3. I disagree. I don't believe sony is blameless in fact I'd say they are equally(maybe even more) to blame in this matter.
Starting with EA...
I don't buy that PR spin that has been passed around the net as the gospel claiming that with the exception of Sony...developers...
It's pretty unrealistic for me or anyone here to think buy all of what this guy is saying. Specifically this line...
"many publishers have been developing titles for the Xbox 360 for over 3 1/2 years while everyone who publishes now for the PlayStation 3 with the exception of Sony has been developing for the PlayStation 3 for only a little over one full year".
Sorry I'm not buying that. It would be foolish for anyone here to think that PS3 titles have...
While I can appreciate the opinion of the Author of this article...I don't share his opinion. I still think now is the time to have a good friend who has a PS3 or in my case a brother. I have nothing against the PS3 and look forward to purchasing one...but I can't justify spending 500-600 dollars for a system when all of its great titles are "still coming".
For me personally I don't think it will time to buy a PS3 until MGS4. Maybe Uncharted or some other title co...
Sofaking..
Xbox and the gamecube were clearly better performing systems than the PS2. Xbox had a very clear and distincted horsepower advantage as the games visuals proved it. Xbox and Gamecube both had reputations of being reliable systems as opposed to the PS2's reputation of OVERHEATING and DISC-SCRATCHING(hmm...the same thing X360 is have problems with). However that did not stop PS2 from being the dominant console last gen. PS2's were junk...very poorly manufactured. ...
Goemon I can live with, I-Ninja I agree whole-heartedly, Wrath of the Black Manta ninja...Absolutely...but Naruto, Rikkimaru, Ayame and The Turtles? What is this guy thinking?
TMNT - I can see why maybe he would want to include the turtles because they are all PG on the cartoons...but in the TMNT Comics..where the turtles started they are ruthless. Can't include them in Lamest Ninja.
Naruto - For crying out loud the fast majority of the content in naruto st...

Itagaki-san is responsible for creating Ninja Gaiden in its current form...however he was not responsible for Porting it over to PS3. Yosuke Hayashi of Team Ninja is the director of the Port of NG: Sigma. Even though Itagaki-san's I'm sure had some input during the development process to make sure it met Team Ninja's standards Hayashi-san was the guy in charge of NG: Sigma. That being said...Sigma is more than a mere port. While the overall content is basically the ...
Man if there is one person in the gaming industry I admire it is Tomonobu Itagaki. He isn't afraid to share his opinion no matter who he pisses off and he (generally) back up his claims with his games.
"Tekken 6 sucks" - Itagaki-san
This comment stems from a personal beef that Itagaki has with members of the namco/bandai tekken development team. They began bashing both DOA2 and Itagaki-san before the release of DOA2(I'm pretty sure it was 2). From ...
The biggest thing touted about Blu-Ray has been it's "massive amount of storage space" and that's why it sooooo superior. So imagine my suprise when I saw that Spider-man 3 will be a 2disc set on Blu-Ray. Its really weird...cuz with all that space you would think they would be able to fit everything on a single disc. They seem to have the same content and special features on both 2disc sets. So if Blu-Ray is so amazing...why is it 2 disc like DVD? Sorry but I'm still not sold o...
well I'd say there's a bit of craftmanship in both film and games after all sets don't build themselves. You are right though....considering one art and not the other is completely ludicrous. But hey the film industry has seen the gaming industry as a threat for a while now...especially since its growth has been outpacing that of the film industry for the past 10yrs or so.
I don't completely agree with the statement that he's only half wrong. I firmly believe he's completely wrong.
"Ebert came right out and said that games are “inherently inferior to film and literature,” saying creating a game is more like “craftsmanship” than artistry. The central point of his reasoning is that games typically hand over authorial control to the player."
Authorial Control is almost never given to gamers. Authorial Control means that ...
I agree with what you are saying...strong loyalty to sony and nintendo...(especially sony) in japan and an advertising campaign that can only be described as fecal matter are probably the biggest things holding X360 back in Japan. A better and more aggressive ad campaign, key franchises like FF, Dragon Quest, MGS, Chrono Trigger/cross...etc would go along way in boost X360 in japan. I have to comment on this particular comment though...

I have read several posts on here claiming that Metal Gear Solid 4 could not be made on Xbox 360. Simply not true as Hideo Kojima himself said it to be so. There wouldn't be this HUGE downgrade as some seem to believe...on the contrary..."Maybe some nuance or a small details here and there might be different, but I feel that hardware is no longer a matter" as put by Kojima-san. Of course there would be changes as the game would be optimized to take advantage of X360's strengths.....
Tell me you aren't serious. These game companies are not in business to make loyal life-long friend/partners. They are in business to MAKE MONEY. Fan boys are loyal, Lassie was loyal...game companies are here to make money. If they can not make money where they are...the migrate to where the money is. Look at how the market is now...Sega..multiplatform VF5 coming to 360, Capcom are the spokespeople for multiplatform development, even square-enix who wouldn't touch Xbox is now advocating ...
I'm not sure I'm believing this damage control story from sony right now. Kaz Hirai said it himself that they don't have a 2sku strategy and that once its out of stock they will be back to 599 and he's the president of SCE...so if anybody would know he would. I think its sony's plan to phase out the 60gig in the US..however Sony did not want to announce it this soon. They did do it with the 20gig so its likely to happen again. That being said I'm sure they have plenty of 60gig in stock th...
I think the reason most people...not just Halo fans question Killzone 2's gameplay is because the first Killzone was pretty boring. Killzone was a mediocre FPS title on PS2 it did look nice but it wasn't fun. As gamers we all know that great graphics do not = great games. Genji 2 on PS3 is a perfect example of this. Genji 2 is beautiful graphically...but gameplay wise its LAME. I don't doubt that Guerilla and Sony are doing everything they can to make Killzone 2 a killer app. I'm sure t...
Since the begining of the console war...there have always been claims that this can't be done on console A...only console B..can is capable of such feats of processing strength. This my friends is PROPAGANDA!!!
