I DLed the FW yesterday evening, was pretty excited about it. But in the end, I felts somewhat disappointed, happy it happenned, just disappointed since it's a "major" update.

My biggest complaint would have to be the fact that, for me atleast, it takes forever for the ads to appear, leaving big blank cases for a few moments and also, they would atleast not tease us Canadians with the Store icon under the video section, only to tell us the service is not available in o...

I didn't know Blazblue supported remote play, I guess I'll have to try it out.

I don't want to break it for you, but if you remember well, Lair was playable on the PSP through remote play, and well, it was quite unplayable due to lag. Of course, it was also unplayable because of the controls (the tutorial asked you do accomplish a task that was impossible to do with L2/R2), something that could be worked out with a DS3 connected to a PSPGo. But like I said, game streaming from the PS3 to the PSP has been rather disappointing as of now, I'm sure Sony could improve it, bu...

well, actually, a PSP-4000 might feature more than just an UMD drive. Compared to the Go, it would most likely have a larger screen (like the 3000), however, it could be an OLED one, since it's becoming somewhat of a standard for portable device (Sony X series, Zune HD and hopefully the next gen of iTouch to be unveiled in a few weeks). It could also pack a 16 or 32GB of internal memory and a memory stick slot or whatever they feel like putting into their fancy new devices these days. Support...

actually, many Sony first party games aren't native 1080p. I know MGS4 ism but I think HS isn't. And I'm not too sure about uncharted 1 and 2.

as of now, blu-rays have pretty much been filled with high quality audio rather than being used to add game lenght or superior textures (which can be explained by the fact that the ps3 couldn't use them anyway due to it's "lack" of memory compared to a PC).

please remember that software emulation can be limited. Maybe they will simply make it work with both GoW titles and a bunch of other titles, similar to the X360 emulation. Having GoW I and II running on PS3 doesn'T mean that BC is coming back.

just saying...

go read the article, he had stock options in his contract, which means he could buy a certain quantity at a lower price and sell it at the real price. It's all legal and a common thing. Lowering the stock would have no impact or very little impact on how much he had to pay but would only reduce how much he can gain when selling.

and, may i know why you are comparing the number of people playing WoW with a petition regarding SC2? I know both are made by Blizzard, published by Activision and that some people playing WoW used to play SC, but really, it's not like everyone playing WoW will buy SC2 or even care about that game.

it seems most people playing WoW didn't even play Wc3 (which explains why so many didn'T even know who Arthas and Luther were...sadly).

I know 100k isn't that much, but ...

seems to be lacking in certain categories. Only 2 snipers would be fine, but seriously, there's no way the game will feature the WA2000 and the dragunov but not the usual stuff like a barrett (whichever model they feel like), the M24/M40/M110, well you know, an actual US military issued sniper rifle, not an old soviet sniper and a rare and overly expensive collectionner's weapon like the WA2000.

Also, while I don't expect many handguns in the game, having some more would be nice...

while they didn't expect it to be their flagship title, it was probably the most likely candidate.

I sure as hell they didn't expect Blinx to be the next big thing. And, when you think about it, many of the new franchises they created on the Xbox weren't exactly great, games like Brute Force and Fusion frenzy were good, but not system sellers like halo was. Also, some of the better games from MS only came late in the console's somewhat short life cycle, games like Fable.

want it or not, Halo is art, as a matter of fact, every single video game, from GTA4 to Big rigs, including the likes of Halo, MGS and Mario, are some form of art.

Now, is Halo the one game that will prove to those who claim it is not art that it infact is? no. Games like Okami, SotC and Grim Fandango will. These games have a much more refined artistic design than halo, usually a deeper story (in-game) and they usually bring something wholly new to the table (while Halo pretty mu...

well, if you consider the fact that Resistance 2 had so much going on at the same time, I'd say it has some pretty amazing graphics. Sure, if you compare let's say, character models between FN4 and R2, FN wins hands down, however, when you look at the bigger picture, you'll see that while FN has 2 characters in a small arena while R2 has you fighting with 7 people online (in it's co-op mode) against dozens of nemies on screen at the same time, I'd say it balances out.

Judging &qu...

I doubt it'll get 5 million in it's first week, if ever. MH was a hit in Japan dut to it's gameplay, community factor (being able to play with 3 of your friends) and portability (you can play it in the bus, train etc).
On the Wii, you get the same good gameplay, but playing online without a decent voice chat system (sorry, but Wii speak ain't exactly that great) could prove problematic for a game asking for teamwork and portability is non existent, since it's a console game.

are you talking abour prince of persia 3? And if so, how would EA develop a game using one of Ubisoft's proprietary engine?

As for the game itself, ME was enjoyable and refreshing thanks to it's immersive 1st person view, making a TPS game with it would, in my opinion, be a waste.

assuming the 3rd gen iTouch has similar specs, the price difference will be of about 50$, not so massive if you ask me. Comparing with the iPhone is pointless since it comes with a 2 or 3 year plan.

The iPhone 3GS came out in 2009, the Wii came out in late 2006, there's about 2.5 years between both. However, the iPhone is a portable device while the Wii is an home console. The PSP came out in 2005, 4 years after the release of the PS2, yet was less powerful and costed more. So, f...

PS3 uses like 74mb of it's ram for it's OS, chances are that your computer uses much more than that (for it's OS and all the programs runnning in the background). Also, console games are optimized for the specific console, while PC games have to run on a wide variety of system. Also, your PS3 might have a better CPU and a better GPU than your computer.

RAM has alot of importance.

Also, saying a GeForce9 with 256mb is better than a GeForce8 with 512mb isn't always tr...

while PS3 numbers are somewhat disappointing, PSP and PS2 numbers were to be expected. Ubi hasn't really released anything worth it on these 2 platforms. Wiat next year after AC:BL, the PSP numbers will likely go up.

can you tell me whats so "badass about trench warfare"? is it the stalemate, the sniperfest or the wait for the inevitable death when your commanding officer orders you to charge?

I agree with everything you said, except for that trench warfare part. Trench warfare was hell, both armies had high losses for very few gains, if any. It makes WWI somewhat boring, mostly when compared to WWII and if a CoD game were to be made about WWI, entrenched battles would most likely b...

I'm somewhat new to the SMT series, my first one being Persona2, so I didn't really expect it to look like Class of heroes...hopefully it will suite my taste better, since I hated Class of heroes...
