endless fun. WHY EVEN PLAY GAMES ANYMORE?!
BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOONS!
Is because it will delay the 360 version and hurt sales. The engine is already running on the 360, and should be optimized for the platform in the sequel.
They'd have to either cut back on optimization bringing the engine up on PS3 or delay the game to have it optimized for both.
I wouldn't be surprised if 2 came out later or 3 was multi-plat from launch, but I think ME2 will probably stay timed exclusive at least.
There's a lot of other factors that com...
then smack him with a merlin handheld. It's been around for 30 years!
PS: the PS2 has only been out for 8 years so far.
people don't believe me when I tell them sony fanboys make people hate sony more than anything sony's ever done.
don't actually send the author the letter. I'm sure posting it in an internet comment section will get the message across much better.

You're in the movies: 350k
Lips: 670k
Scene it: Box office: 550k
Banjo Kazooie: 630k
of the casual games you mentioned, all of them broke the 500k mark you set.
sony was rarely humble this generation. They've only seemed humble because they've had nothing to boast about since the public decided to give sony the finger for all its pre-launch boasting shortly after launch.
you don't need to spend a lot of money to do new things.
iD totally rethought the way textures are handled in games, got it running on at least 4 platforms, and Rage probably cost a lot less than Killzone 2. Gears of War, which is still high on the list of best looking games this gen, only cost 10 million in development. Crysis only cost $22 million or so.
when he tried to explain drift physics. Rear wheel drive cars don't need to be steered much at all to drift. just enough to get the tail to start to swing.
I did proceed to watch the forza2 video, and was amazed by how blind this guy is. Before every drift the guy makes he turns into it.
considering you only turn your 360 on for 5 minutes a month that's incredible.
Because for that price/time they can release 2 normal AAA titles with a better return on investment.
KZ2 has been in development for at least 5 years with an estimated development cost upwards of 60 million.
Halo 3 for example, was in development for 3 years with an estimated pricetag of 30million in development (not advertising etc.)
It just doesn't make sense from M$'s standpoint to spend that much money on something that's probably going to sell worse...
I disagreed with you because you spelled ridiculous wrong when trying to accuse other people of being ignorant.
not so much tangible as quantifiable.
At least more quantifiable than quality of art.
did you not read the article at all?
graphics is the hard numbers the game is pushing to show you what you see. Higher resolution, poly's on screen, lighting, texture size, etc.
Art in a game is the style, color pallete, animation (which can kind of go either way), and feel of the graphics.
For example. Forza(original) had better graphics than SoTC, but SoTC had an amazing art style and used the graphics they could use to make something that still looked amazing. Did SoTC look as good as Forza? undoubte...
and it cost me:
$399 : console
$40 : controller
This was the first year I was going to have to pay for a $40 13 month XBL gold card, but then walmart put them on sale for $27, so I'm good on those for the next two years.
so that's $469
PS3 at launch with one controller was $639
Not everybody is a stupid consumer. In fact, you'd be surprised at how resourceful people can be when they want to be.
that is, what we in the world of business, call the retard tax.
Here's the plain and simple.
Cost to play 1 game on the 360 (not including bundles): $259
Cost to play 1 game on the PS3 (not including bundles): $459
art is opinion. Graphics are a real tangible and measurable thing.
It has nothing to do with opinion.
it's coming this spring hopefully.
I think that's when u'll start to see avatars actually being useful.
it'll be nice when developers start releasing themed clothing for achievements and butts.
