Dayman, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
I too didn't consider that game developers and their parent companies have stocks. The media, generally speaking, has in most cases lost its objectivity and seems to be taking partisan stances and sometimes writes rather questionable reviews. Reviews can affect the sales of a product and if a profit cannot be made, confidence in the company will decrease as will the stock value. Who is to say that in this dog-eat-dog world people don't intentionally exploit these situations? Anyway, as a ...
I would like to see more classics and fewer generic titles of mediocrity, such as:
NFL Blitz
Vagrant Story
Legend of Dragoon
Xenogears
Diablo
Brave Fencer Musashi
Chrono Cross
Einhander
Tenchu
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3
Parasite Eve 1 & 2
Clock Tower
...help me out, people!
Not only do the lighting and textures impress me, but I have never witnessed such realistic, fluid animation in a console game. I am a diehard fan of the original and cannot wait to get my hands on this game. I'm talking about excitement comparable to Metal Gear Solid 4's release and I'm crazy about that universe.
I had a moment of nostalgia when I first saw the knife in this game. Any of you remember a little movie from the 80s called "The Golden Child" with Eddie M...
I was thrilled to discover they removed copy-protection from game saves with this update, but I wish I had known that when I formatted my PS3 a week ago, losing over 50 hours of playtime. Still, you were always able to keep your saves, just not by traditional means, using the PS3's Back-up Utility in System Settings and transferring your system's information to restore later. As far as I know, the Back-up method works for all copy-protected games.
Quit your whining.
Oh it's too violent! I'm going to start a petition against this because I don't agree with it! Sorry pal, this is art and should not be censored by you or anyone. As has been said, if you don't like it, then don't associate yourself with it. No one is forcing you to look at it. What you're doing here is forcing your perspective down our throats, expressing (abusing) your freedom of speech to take away that freedom from someone else. Do yourself a favor: t...
HELL YEAH!
Strider!
The only thing that comes to mind is "Tornado Outbreak". The sky in both teasers looks like typical tornado weather where I live (rural Tennessee). The black particle debris floating on the top right and right edge of the photo. Also, the 5 as in F5 class tornado. I wish it were a Raiden themed Metal Gear but I refuse to get my hopes high.
The first moment I set eyes on Sully, I immediately cast the perfect actor for the role............... Bruce Campbell. Come on!
Around the release of Uncharted there was an interview that tackled this very subject on the PS Blog. Either the director or one of the producers said they were very BIG Firefly/Joss Whedon fans, which is why they used the composer of the Firefly series to write the music. Who did they want as Drake? Nathan Fillion, who the character is loosely based (don't know where people got Johnny Knoxville). Also, have Whedon write/direct and use the same composer and you'd have one amazing film. I...
Ueda and Team ICO are visionaries, crafting tales of fantasy; a story told with much subtlety through actions and symbolism, not so much spoken word. A shame their games are considered niche and have been commercially unsuccessful. I hope Sony reissues the original ICO, possibly making it a downloadable title from the PS Store, as I was foolish to not buy the game when it was first released and finding a copy in excellent condition isn't an easy or inexpensive thing to do.
Let's not forget BK:N&B, an established franchise, also released for $39.99 and preorders came with a voucher for a free download of the original N64 classic, while Lair was brutally received by critics and has remained at full price.
I went against reviews and picked up Lair, finding it greatly underrated, even with its issues. The control scheme was new and refreshing (Flower is actually quite similar). Free DLC was released adding analog control option, new dragon mounts...
The Nintendo of olde was a force to be reckoned with. Now they sit proudly upon unexplained and undeserved success on a console with too few quality games, many of which are franchises Nintendo has failed to innovate but rather milk the same wrinkled teet they have since the beginning. Though it's failed to evolve significantly, I've quite enjoyed the Smash Bros. franchise and this man's confident declaration piques my curiosity. I want this to be true and to see Nintendo get off their fat...
Much like me, my girlfriend is a diehard gamer, sharing many of the same interests, especially our love of Metal Gear Solid. Hell, I met her while in closed beta for Home; how nerdy can you get?! An absolute dream, beautiful, inside and out. Honestly, I wouldn't mind if she gained weight, considering I'm a big guy and she's a skinny lil' Irish lass, I'd love her no less.
Sony is comprised of 3 independant companies, each controlled separately. - SCEA, SCEE and SCEJ. This as well as licensing issues determines which territories get what product and the sometimes delay experienced. If Sony only catered to Japan, the weakest market of the 3, they'd be in really bad shape.
No rumble at launch due to a lawsuit with Immersion, which was settled later.
Lack of BC is a concern, but it may make a return as full software emulation, consideri...
Sony for the most part has been listening to their fans, and their interest shows through the many surveys issued which have brought changes, including oft requested new features in firmware updates, enhanced PSN functionality and the (slow) improvements to Home. Sony is a company first and foremost, but has made compromises at great loss to show their dedication to the fanbase. Though this post shows myself as pro-Sony, I speak not as a fanboy, but as a gamer who has been satisfied with th...
One thing that doesn't make sense to me is why have a touch screen AND a keyboard when you could easily have a touch screen keyboard like an iPhone or LG Vu. I've held off on buying a PSP for the inevitable PSP2 so I hope it does include some of these rumoured features, especially 3G (as long as it isn't subscription-based), built in HDD, bluetooth and maybe some form of motion sensing control. Also, keeping Skype as an option would be nice too.
By "Sony's secret game" are you referring to the game a BBC journalist mentioned so long ago and no further information has been found? I wonder if there ever was a game, and if so, it's still in development or has found its way to the chopping block. I remember at some point it was rumoured to be a ninja game titled Sillouhette. I asked my girlfriend's brother, who used to work for Sony, about it and all he would say is, "Nice try. If there was a game like that, I wouldn't...
Wardevil is real. Bigfoot and the Easter Bunny are playing it as we speak.
