how if the Xbox 360 does get motion control in any form, it will be the last of the three to do so. Sony immediately didn't even wait to see what Nintendo's motion control could do. They announced sixaxis and I don't know too many people that screaming for the feature. In fact more would rather have rumble, as the DS3 controller now being on offer. The good news is that they plan on improving on what the Wiiremote is. If they can offer titles that have an option to play with the new controlle...
how I look at the game industry, because how do you judge a system's success? At this point it's about how much more can you sell. Sure one console has to get up to profitability, but for the most part you can't hate on what we are getting. The PS3 is finally going to have it's act together, hopefully the Wii line-up this year starts to evaporate the stench of shovel ware, and the 360 prove that the games it has been blessing us with will continue to get better. You can't ask much more than t...
hope they continue the media black out. I like how Microsoft isn't saying much about their software or even showing things. Timing is everything and they are doing a good job of keeping people in suspence. To many fanboys are riding on exclusives that haven't showed up and performed yet. Really glad this game is not in that category. Microsoft wants to hype its games we all know that, and at the rate of critical, and game sales success. They know they have to deliver. Can't wait to hear more ...
If Take 2 is going to make good on it's promise to become a better developer/publisher than Bioshock coming to the PS3 in any form is good for business. Although I wouldn't rule out Microsoft having/getting some kind of timed exclusive on the game. You never know with them.
to see that NG2 is shaping up in such a way. Man I didn't even care about NG story, thought it was dumb and convoluted for no reason. I just enjoyed the action, this one looks to up the ante.
Why the Xbox 360 is cool...It's DLC like this that make Xbox Live worth every penny. I'm not slighting the PS3 in saying that, because they are getting the content just a bit later. But you can't help but think about how GTA4's episodic content is going to do. COD4 is a monster title and DLC just adds to its luster...Good gaming
Just realized that none of the previews have mentioned if there will be a mandatory install for the PS3, or the effects of load times on both systems. Sarcastic gamer may be having fun, but is there a story buried behind that dry wack ass humor?
Boasted the Xbox 360 user base in Europe for a week summer in software. Wow...just wow...If the sales of the game here in the states, along with the music content downloads on Xbox Live show anything. The British invasion is going to be crazy! Plus the rumor that Beatles songs may come to the game...Microsoft is going to see a huge spike. Looks like that price drop is on time for both GTA4 and now Rock Band...Smart move
Don't let it get to you. Fact is in the sales of software. If this game lives up to itself and becomes popular people like this guy become more and more irrelevant. I'm not worried about it, the first game was a blast to play. I never allowed myself to get caught up in all the fancy vaporware game play. So if Lionhead has expanded on the first game then we should be in for a treat.
You have to let the haters hate, it means you are doing good. Microsoft and Lionhead have to concen...
Thing that I've learned about this generation so far is you have to put up or shut up. For me every time PS3 fans have boosted about their line-up the games come up short. I remember around this time last year PS3 fans kept saying that they already knew about the Xbox 360 line-up and how there was nothing special about it. That all the PS3 games coming in the fall of 2007 would bring the Xbox 360 to a halt. To be fair many Xbox 360 fans took defensive positions pointing to facts in software s...
A good point, but Blu-Ray has to replace DVD. DD just has to be another option, and that is firmly happening. DVD sales are not slowing down because of Blu-Rays existence. Too many people own DVD players, the penetration, knowledge of HD television is going well, but not well enough for people to replace their DVD units and collections. So DD as it turns out is very viable medium between the two. Add to the fact that Blu-Ray's are not cheap, so physical media popularity I believe is strictly...
But at this point, software is going to really sell systems this year. Back catalog on titles people haven't purchased for new adopters, could also take center stage depending on the system price point. In that regard I really see people making the leap to an Xbox 360. I think if GTA4 were coming out a bit later the impact would be more. So in a way Microsoft is very lucky that they have the biggest title around the holidays where people are willing to spend more. Plus by that time we will se...
His Japan figures seem more logical to me. I just think he is discounting the impact of major titles on the Xbox 360, along with the recession that is happening. GTA4 for me will be the test. If gamers show up on the Xbox 360 and it moves major units this month all bets are off on what Gears of War 2, and other titles will do based on that. I'm not taking anything away from the PS3, but software sells systems. Till the PS3 shows that side of the coin, and its user base purchases more software...
Lots of people are just in denial. People are using VOD, right now. The movie ticket analogy was a great one, plus people do rent physical media and have to give it back. Let's take for instance Blockbusters new iniative where you can rent a movie online, and also take it back to a store. Now with Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft offering their own type of service DD is happening right this second. Not tommorow...Like right somebody you don't know just ordered a title online because he didn't fee...
None of these fanboys have even included the fact that we are in an economic downturn. That does not bode well for the PS3 at it's current price. When it comes to Mr. Pachter I wait and see if his predictions are spot on. Usually they are off, he's even admitted so on gametrailers. I understand what PS3 fans are saying about their upcoming line-up, but I think they need to take into account the games they are talking about. We do not know if LBP, White knight, Killzone 2, R2 are going to be s...
This game had better be that sick. I enjoyed all the tennis games since the first Virtua, but I've been kinda dissapointed with some releases in the past couple of years. I didn't purchase Top Spin 2, so it won't be hard for me to get into these new mechanics. Looking forward to this and 2k9 basketball for my sports fix.
Going to deliver big time with Gears of War 2. Not just from a technical standpoint, I really believe the game design is going to expand. You have the creator of Fight Night helping Cliffy B on the Microsoft side, and you have game testing going on. Add to the fact that the game has been in development since the first games release, they are prepared to wow us again. I can't wait to see this game in action.
