"Microsoft is going to shove Natal down consumers' throat one way or the other."

You mean like how Sixaxis was shoved into KZ2.

Don't games on a Blu-ray disc have a tendancy to have repeated data for the game to load a lot faster? Is it possible that most of the downsizing with the 360 version is just the dupe files that the PS3 needed? Also the amount of files that would have been mandatory installed in the PS3 wouldn't have to be done with the 360.

Just some questions, no big deal. I just don't see why a game that fits on a 50 gig Blu-ray disc would be "dumbed down" to fit on 3 DVD 9's....

100% of the cars in Forza 3 are real. As well as the parts bought. All cars have certain parts available to them. Forza 3 doesn't allow you to stick an american engine into a European car. All parts from real companies that supply the parts can only be used for the appropriate car.

And the example used by Karum says that the car is the same model, just has different drive trans. 2WD/4WD. Again this can be done with the cars in Forza 3. So if something as simple as 2WD to...

"2WD and 4WD versions of cars may be the same in name, but to drive one or the other you need.......wait for it.....2 DIFFERENT cars.

And yes, they are different by definition."

So by using your own words, a car model can be the same but if something is changed within the car to change the performace / feel, then it can be listed as a different car..ie. Transmission or 2wd/4wd.

So since every car in Forza 3 can be tuned, trannies changed,...

LOL Roadkill was awesome as well. But Specter was the car i used since TM 1.

Speed and his homing rockets....you just can`t beat that. =)

Awesome. Kind of obvious that it was going to come. The first Twisted Metal was my favorite game of the franchise back on the PS1. 1st day buy for me if this is true.

Specter for the win.

LOL now I know you are kidding.

"With each sequel the copies sold usually increases ubfortunately God of War 2 was released in the mids of the transition between last gen and current gen consoles and everyone was too busy playing HD games"

- Who was playing all the HD games? PS2 was selling hundreds of thousands more units when the PS3 was released while the PS3 was struggling to make sales due to it's $599 launch price. GoW 2 was released well before...

Ah come no guys. Are you serious.

GoW 1 and 2 combined barely passed 5 million units sold with an install base of about 100 million consoles.

GoW 1 = 3.21 million
Gow 2 = 2.58 million

The sales went DOWN for the franchise. And not by a bit but by 630,000 units. And GoW 2 is a better game.

The GoW Collectin has only sold 0.51 million with an install base of 31 million PS3's. I am 1 of the 0.51 million that bought it.

Just like LBP, Resistance 2, KZ2, Lair, Infamous, uncharted 2 and all the other Sony exclusives you Hype up right? Those games did nothing to help Sony increase marketshare. It was the price cut and slim model that increased the market share. The games did nothing. Look at the top games selling in each region. Most are multiplat and you can't find Sony Exclusives anywhere, including the widely reviewed GOTY Uncharted 2.

God Of War is not going to increase the install base....

I actually got to play the God of War 3 Demo last night and yes its the exact same game as God of War 1 and 2 with pretty graphics, i found myself enjoying the game otherwise.

If it ain't broke then don't try and fix it.

Looking forward to it's release. Very enjoyable.

HHG is a joke. Just doing what he can to get hits the unprofessional way.

I can assure you, MS is NOT having nightmares over God of War 3. MS knows Halo: Reach will outsell God of War 3 and to a business that's all that matters. Sales and revenue. MS is not going to lose market share over God of War 3.

HHG is ALWAYS confusing Consumer views with Business views.

Ok Fair enough.

I understand your points.

However the comment about Turn 10 and you not wanting them to get rich because of their arrogance. Sony said by far more arrogant claims than turn 10 ever did. Do you also feel that Sony shouldn't get rich because of what they said?

Companies will always promote their products or services if they are confident in them and proud. Don't hate on what Turn 10 for what they said yet give Sony a free pass, they were...

After playing the BETA i was very turned off. I was excited for this game but no longer. Now this is only the BETA but in my opinion, the game needs to be drastically changed, and i don't think that is going to happen with the amount of time left till release.

This game will get mediocre scores.

Wow. So they have revamped the game mechanics. So it is more like Halo 1 but with new elements. This is great news. As much as i liked Halo 3, Halo was always my favorite in the franchise with Halo 3 my 2nd choice.

Halo Reach looks to do exactly what a lot of fans and customers were asking. Revitalize the game and expand on it, don't make it the same game as Halo 1, 2 and 3. And they did it.

Thanks Bungie. Looking forward to this game even more now.

SE has only developed 1 game for the 360 that is exclusive. Last Remnent. Star Ocean 4 is going to release soon for the PS3 so i find it rather odd that you would be disappointed over 1 JRPG that has had poor reviews.

maybe you should voice your opinion not so much at SE or MS but rather to Sony for them focusing too much on the NA market and developing games like Uncharted 2, KZ2 Resistance 1&2 rather than JRPG's.

5866d ago 0 agree0 disagreeView comment

I disagree.

Show me a JRPG on the PS3 other than Final Fantsy that has sold well in comparison to what is on the 360. Final Fantasy is a poor example as anything with Final fantasy will sell. And to agree with HHG is a very poor source to choose where you get your information from.

Eternal Sonata PS3 - .15 million world (0.07 million Japan)
360 - .24 million world (0.08 million Japan)

Folklore PS3 - .20 million world...

Wow. Man_Of_The_Year says something good about Forza 3 and how it didn't flop and you come down on him? I can understand TheTruth but Man_Of_The_Year didn't say anything negative about the PS3, Sony Fanboys or any PS3 games or the company Sony themselves.

It seems that it is you that may be the fanboy here. You get upset when someone gives praise to MS or it's developers for making a good game that is selling well.

Digging deeper into your history sure does se...

You are absolutely correct.

@Guitardr85 - you sound like a kid just regurgitating the Loyalist comments that are all over this site. You are hating on MS when all they are doing is adding an additional JRPG to their lineup and trying to break into the Japanese market.

There is plenty of demand for JRPG's. LO was an amazing game, and Star Ocean was fun. JRPG's may be getting hit with criticism after criticism from the western front, but there will always be a...

That link was provided to you as a stepping stone where you can start your research.

Start by looking at the Meta scores for games done by Sony and then cross reference the company that developed the game.

"Sony's first and second party studios and the games they make. Like I said, they RARELY put out mediocre titles." - so now it's RARELY huh when Shmotz said:

"Name Me One mediocre first party Sony game other than Lair." - whic...
