In a word: NO.
Trust me, LaChance,
You can leave halo 3 and its 8 million players alone!
Why? In a word, because they are zombies. Fanboys willing to buy up a gaming franchise not because it represented a milestone in gaming but as a super-hyped maretting exercise.
I have no hate for Halo gamers. Good on you. Salt of the earth. But Halo 3 wasn't a huge achievement, it wasn't worth the hype.
GTAIV does.
Come on, it's a stupid article. It's obviously just designed for people to read it and get all emotional. The wii is a sickness that has engulfed the world but will die shortly.
Rockstar said they had troubles developing GTAIV for 360. IMAGINE HOW HARD IT WOULD BE TO BUILD THE GAME FOR A KID'S CONSOLE THAT HAS THE POWER OF A PARAPLEGIC HAMSTER!!!
The Wii is a product that sells because of an idea. It suggests to consumers that it's next generation because it's new and it's controller is nowhere near as sophisticated as people are led to believe.
I hate the wii. It's a product for cheapskates and morons. Nintendo have gone to hell but are making lots of money, so good for them.
But as a gamer, GTAIV on the wii is as offensive as Adolf Hitler as Secretary General of the United Nations!
Killzone 2 is out at the end of the year. Just think how good it's gonna be!
As for Sony screwing gamers with the Dualshock, that's a load of crap. I have 4 Sixaxis controllers. They are lightweight yet durable. I'll probably get a dualshock for MGS4 but I hardly feel done wrong by Sony.
But SCEE screws european gamers! Assholes.
C. I bought it when I had a 360 but found COD4 was so much better in every way. And it looks better on a PS3...
Check your speeds man.
Took me 5 minutes...
Isn't life wonderful!
GTAIV baby!
I just wish there was a lot more stuff on the store now that it's all new and shiny.
And I expected it to be integrated to the Playstation Stores around the world! (My Oblivion is American and need the Shivering Isles download).
Some of the features of PSN need to be tweaked but I'd still rather have a constantly improving system than one synonymous with hardware and strategy failures.
Besides, you can ONLY play MGS4 on PS3.
I've given up on Microsoft until they release their next console...
Damn straight Bruce_Lee!
Has to be THE most over-budget, over-rated, over-hyped pieces of rubbish of all time. It represents everything I hate about the gaming industry: A lack of ideas and a franchise running purely on the simplistic devotion of teenagers.
Kill it now. Or at least do something new Bungie!
@Sak500
How was it "Angry just pwned all of you fonybois?"
The article is rubbish. It isn't news and serves to show just how desperate x-bots are becoming to get the term XBOX as a news article. It isn't.
And why is it all you X-bots have models as your avatar? It seems to be a trend. Are you trying to prove your heterosexuality to the gaming community? Good luck.
Y is this news?
Put the kid in a mental institute!
I dunno.
I'm really excited by the prospect but it'll probably be a no show!
It would be very difficult to manage and market it. The wii has the casual gamer/fad market. The X-box has it's snotty teens and FPS freaks/racists. The PS3 has tech geeks and everyone else.
I'm just curious as to who Acer would target their console for and who's business it would effect.
@Bladestar
Principles and Dignity go hand-in-hand with making great games. What you have to understand my friend is that both EA and M$ follow the expand and expunge strategy to business. We all acknowledge that turning profit is the means to which creative outputs reach consumers. But EA and M$ are out of line.
M$ makes money off EVERYTHING you buy on X-Box Live.
And EA does the same for downloadable content that is ridiculously overpriced.
...
What game is that?
I like Blu.
You are wise.
Have some bubbles man.
They are crazy. They are relentless. They inexplicably devote time and energy to one console.
All of this is rather amusing. I love Power of Green, he's an idiot fanboy, but it's so entertaining reading his fundamentalist posts.
Bottom line is we all need Sony and Microsoft, otherwise the industry would be stagnant.
1. The dedicated fanboy
2. The cheapskate
3. The retarded
4. The racist
5. The kid whose parents bought him a 360
6. Technological novices
7. The lonely, single male
8. The guy who loves to spend money on useless junk
9. The guy who believes everything he reads
10. Power of Green (mixture of previous 9)
