Big Sister vs Nemesis, who wins?
I was under the impression that they had already confirmed that "Project Hydra" their new next-gen MMO is their new IP. This was some time in 2k8
steam out of sails? talk about your mixed metaphors.
Actually I'd give technical excellence to LBP. True that many of it's graphical virtues of secondary lighting and whatnot are only possible due to it's 'small world' 2.5d platform nature, that doesn't mean it's not presenting a level of detail and technology we haven't seen before or since.
YOU RAT BASTARD :(
Last place is a meaningless moniker, it's not a 'winner take all' race. In a race like that, it doesn't matter how near or far you are to the leader, you're still third. Here a close third is a very different beast to a distant third.
Soooo Lets do an extremely Naive Interpretation here.
PS3 launched November 2006, it is now March 2009. That's 29 months of PS3
Xbox360 launched November 2005. that's 41 months of 360
58/41 = 1.4146
43/29 = 1.4827
1.4827n = 1.4146(n + 12)
1.4827n = 1.4146n + 16.9752
1.4827n - 1.4146n = 16.9752
0.0681n = 16.9752
n ~= 249
249 * 1.4827 ~= 369
261 * 1.4146 ~= 369
249 - 29 = 220
So what you're saying is the hardware, software, and community of xbox360 is inferior and MS is just making tons of sales because of effective marketing campaigns to stupid people (generating the aforementioned community)? Is that what you're saying?
I know that in times of recession I expect my 'luxury items' to be selling like hotcakes and in fact sell better the further we get into economic trouble and the more scared and insecure people feel.
It's like you take a data set and you completely fail to analyze the obvious variables. Talk about finessing your numbers, or whatever.
Pc is better unless it has been sabotaged, like GoW.
gtx285 x3?
That's bleedin' overkill man, not to mention that the third 285 doesn't net you much. What resolution are you running at?
I think a large part of it is continuity, in order to provide the same ME2 experience on PS3 as players have on PC and X360, they would have to first release ME on PS3. This hasn't happened yet, and I'm not saying it won't, I'm just saying if it does, it will be a while.
Looks very good, can't wait to pick it up on PC when it comes out. It's hard to tell from the scans but it seems to be a lot better graphically than it's predecessor which is to be expected considering the development story of Bioshock.
xbox and x360 were both designed like x86 machines, they were designed specifically to be stupid easy to code for.
Both PS2 and PS3 were harder to code for, Cell SPU and emotion engine architecture.
If I remember correctly, Bioshock development began on UE2.5 but then UE3 came out and they migrated to UE3. So hopefully with a little more tinker time they'll have their resources looking a lot nicer for the sequel.
Not that you can tell anything from those scans though :l
It's a psych thing and it has nothing to do with gaming at all. A lot of it seems to stem from such features as confirmation bias. that is to say, if someone makes up their mind to buy a ps3 based on whatever reasoning, they are deciding that the ps3 is the better platform. Then they're going to discard information that opposes their viewpoint and gather information that supports them. This is because the brain doesn't like to be undecided about things.
From this point it's easy ...
I think the home phone over XBL is really the salient point here. Obviously the kid wasn't going to be sold, it seems to me to be a way to generate call traffic to the number. SO chances are there's someone who's upset about the mom, I'd sayyyyy another mom in the community did it.
I don't see it as a reason to get worked up about the whole kid selling thing. I think that stands separate from the phone number distribution and as such is a pretty weak thing to become upset over. ...
I wash shocked to see this on the front page of N4G.
Shocked because I've actually played this game before (not afraid to admit it). It was pretty boring, I think my favorite h-game had a lot of stats and character stuff in it, you had to structure your day and how you structured your day modified your different stats (or gave you money if you chose to work) and that in turn determined how popular you were with the girls
Halo might not be dying but I would argue that Bungie leaving the franchise can't be anything good. That's not to say that it's impossible to produce quality games that appeal to the present fanbase, just that it will prove more difficult.
Halo Wars might be selling well but if it is trading in on the Halo brand name and doesn't provide an experience that the fanbase ultimately finds satisfying (yet to be seen) it could serve to damage the brand.
And while Mario migh...
Where did that slide come from? I'd like to hear more about the technical updates to PhyreEngine.
