err.. what?
I am just imagining some of those franchises on next-gen machines and get quivers in my nether regions.
Triple the awesome for mentioning X-wing vs. TIE fighter - that was one of the first games I played heaps of on the Net.
Will probably do another Viva Pinata: that is like a Christmas cash cow for MS now.
I'd take another new Perfect Dark though
I am surprised they have waited so long to say something about their Christmas line-up. Maybe they really want to make a big bang at E3.
One thing is for sure, it will take something big to snatch away the power of a strong GT5 showing from Sony.
EDIT: Halo: ODST could be hot if shown right
Either you don't want to know more about the game or you do. Peice seems fine to me, discusses how it feels to climb about the world - good read.
An announcement at MS's press conference would be more likley.
4 million is good sales, but the likes of halo 3 have done 8 million, which would seem like a pretty lucrative market to go into
My vote is for MGS 4 on Xbox 360. That would be pretty mega and I don't know if Kojima would be too stoked with the sales of the game on PS3. Why not branch out. You know MS would throw a stack of cash at him.
After last year's debacle, will Nintendo make one last play at keeping the hardcore gamers interested or settle on being a toy?
I don't think it has been officially announced at all
So where are the bloody exclusives.
It is basically Alan Wake vs. God of War III and then everything else is multiformat. Screw that crapola
Maybe the Wii can save us with a new Zelda or Metroid.
A Mirror's Edge 2 would be great. The first was a bit average, but you could tell that a bit more honing on that idea and it could be great.
Surprised they left out CoD: Vietnam.
As much as I hate the way MS do this stuff I bet Tekken ends up selling more on X360 that PS3 simply because of the install base.
That said, I'll take Fight Night Round 4 over it anyway
That it comes from the perspective of someone who loved the game and was wholly behind it. And it comes from someone who plays and writes about games for a living... you know, instead of just a Sony fanboy latching onto hope, of an Xbox fanboy just tring to bring the hate.
The n4g crowd has completely misinterpreted the article. You guys are damn good at that. Not sure which of the above points is more worthy of chastising (for all the good it will do me).
1.)Waving around sales figues is stupid since the article is not calling its sales a failure
2.) Saying that one journos point of view means nothing, but then waving around your own expereince like it is a counter-point that proves him wrong is just hypocrtical drosh.
And @ mor...
your name should be L.A.M.E
Just kidding, but how can you not like tits.
But if you are in that community, then you probably cannot see how it is perceived from outside of it.
I know the fanboys will probably leap at the headline without actually reading the article, but I think the guy has a point. He clearly loves the game (there is a link to his 10/10 review), but like him I find myself never having the time to actually go in and make use of the editor and the custom levels.
I remember originally Media Molecule did not even want to put in their own maps - so glad they did, otherwise I never would have played it!
Boobs have certainly come a long way. I knew Larry was going to get a look in somewhere in this article. He always gets a look in on something hehehe
I think you kind of missed the point a little. Midway was the example, but the article talks about basic survival of the fittest mentality. As in, companies who are making consistently good game experiences will survive and come out the otherside as the next superstars, and those trying to get by on lesser experiences will be sifted out.
They made but decisions and are paying the penalty. Hopefully the key brands and best staff will pop up somewhere else.
Love these articles: always good for a crack up. Especially when you wonder what the original QA teams are thinking hahahaha
