He took games out of the lineup in his post, I took games out of the other lineup in mine.
It was an example. FAIL
The only PS3 exclusive I can see is MGS4...
cwatididthur?!
every lineup will suck when you remove more than 70% of the games.
Is that no game is as ingrained into casual society like Halo. For the 3 months leading up to halo, almost everyone I knew was talking about it. Regardless of the game quality, sony needs a game that's going to do what halo did from just a marketing standpoint.
Right now 360 has Gears and Halo both at that point where their launches are going to be hard to pass up if you don't lock yourself in the house. Sony just hasn't built up the same kind of excitement behind their games for...
That not every new piece will be for purchase. They will have new content released for promotions, as well as for achievements in games.
you can't say the exact same news about sony without in some way tilting it to be smarter, despite the actions being exactly the same.
They copied it from almost every RPG, most fighters, and some other games that offer costumes as rewards for completion.
The only thing stolen as far as avatars/miis/home is the fact that they are on a console. Everything else has been done on another platform (usually on an e-community website).
M$ is probably going to concentrate on using the XNA community games as a replacement for cheap games. Standard XBLA games are going to see a shift towards a much fuller experience.
Many of the games on XBLA are favorably comparable to a full DS game, which you pay a lot less for.
Yahoo is being dumb. They have easily the most to lose by not letting M$ by them. M$ is at least diversified. Yahoo is just flat out screwed if things keep going towards google. google doesn't really have much incentive to buy yahoo, because anything yahoo has google has more than enough money to do well/better.
Yahoo's in a situation where it can lose and make other people lose, or at least put up a little competition. I'd be pissed if I were a shareholder tbh.
Also...
Though I'm not sure if he's being completely sarcastic or only partially sarcastic, I really think game journalists have to do a better job at being objective.
It's one thing to take a developer saying "X console is pretty powerful, but it has Y problem" and get a headline like "Developer: X console is powerful"
It's a completely different thing to take a developer saying "Sure, I like working on X console" and get the headline "Dev...
It's a misconception because in the past one console has won in all categories.
There's pure console numbers sold, software sold, market share, and pure profit to look at.
There will likely be favorable finishes to every console this generation.
You'd think I killed jesus.
The reason I questioned what part of development he was in is because EVERY DEVELOPER knows it's not 7-8 vs 3. You have to compare usability of either to the usability of the other. I could stick 20 intel 8088's in a computer, but that wouldn't be better than a 360 despite the number 20 being larger than the number 3. All he proved is a simple knowledge of integers.
I'm all for anyone who can tell me why the processor is faster (don't actu...
A developer said that? Was it a programmer, a producer, or a game designer? Cuz that is a bull**** way to look at it. It's not 7 vs. 3. It's 1+SPEs vs. 3. The problem is that it's both hard to get the power out of the SPEs, as well as to accurately know how much you can squeeze out of those SPEs.
That said, the DVD issue is only an issue as long as M$ makes it one. If/When they remove the royalties on the DVDs (they really need to understand that a lot of people could care less a...
is more a royalty problem than a real hardware problem. Id has no problem putting it on 50 DVDs if they have to, they just have a problem having to pay extra for each DVD included with the game.
Anyone who complains about 360 RROD after having it less than 5 times has never had to deal with more than 2 other customer service departments.
Also, because someone asked, you get a new warranty (it's not the same 3 year warranty) every time you send in your 360. It should be in the paperwork you get.
had the best launch of any MMO besides WoW.
It's not a failure, WoW is just much more a success.
They should add criminal NPCs though. It would be cool to have a whole other underworld to the game.
About 90% of the people I've heard actually played it (including myself) has enjoyed it a lot. If you don't go into it expecting something it isn't, the game is gold.
It's also got replayability up the ying yang, as well as a great art style (regardless of how good the graphics are).
Looks/ed better on both systems. Especially when art direction is taken into account.
If you just play for the story, it was decent. The weapons were creative, but the real juice of the game came from the player development and the side quests and races.
My big hope for the sequel is that they make coop work better and that the figure out a way to make replayability a lot better. Also, a few more weapons couldn't hurt. Something to compete with the homing rapid fire missile launcher would be nice.
imo you should always have a top tier of weapons that ...
Yea... way to pick and choose his quotes. He consistently says that 360's hardware was a much more realistic approach to the development of games. He continues to say that PS3 development is STILL much more difficult (even after solving many of the problems). Overall, his opinion is that 360 is a better machine, and that the PS3 could edge it out under some restrictive circumstances given an enormous budget and a long development time.
I repeat. The only thing in any way holding ...
regardless of what games are released. barring a price increase, executives being dumb again, and massive cancelations, the sales for the holiday won't go down.
