Has anyone though about how developers see this? Think about it 50$ a year multiplied by each 360 that is on XBl= money that coould potentially be going to the developers!
It's like a lose lose for Microsoft, they lose this argument twice because both gamers and developers are losing out by paying for the right to play YOUR game on YOUR console through YOUR internet connection.
Paying for XBL just doesn't make any sense, I wish 360 gamers would make a damn stand ag...
The way I see it is it's Gamestops loss if they choose to NOT open there doors a 1200AM! They won't be seeing a dime of my money because these days I can go to several stores open 24hours that will be happy to provide me what I want.
Personally I think this advertising crap is really overrated, can it help push a few extra consoles and a few extra games.... maybe. My feeling is a game like Killzone 2 doesn't NEED advertising to sell well, this game WILL sell by word of mouth. Ju...
My take on BC is how many gamers with BC equipped on their PS3's use it? I have a BC PS3 and I have only played one PS2 game on my PS3 (Marvel Vs. Capcom 2). I have no plans of buying a PSone or PS2 game unless it's on PSN so it really isn't a huge deal.
We as gamers had this disscusion about BC alittle more than a year ago and back then we voted (by words and dollars spent) that BC is something we could do without. Some of the Veterans on this site know exactly what I'm talking...
Which franchise are you more excited about? Halo, Mario, or God of War?
People say Killzone would have been better with Co-op (I personally disagree) but I would be highly interested in playing GOW3 with Co-Op. The only problem is we would need a 2nd character as intense as Kratos, (maybe Nariko from Heavenly Sword)
On a Side note: I hate to make a comment that would be seen as fanboyish but I have to put this out there. How can Microsoft or Nintendo compete with S...
Being 100% honest, my opinion of the game (from the demo) is that this game is basiclly RE in HD. The real problem I have with this game is that it doesn't push the envelope it a basic tired and true formula by the developers. RE fans may enjoy this game but I'm just not feeling it. I'm not a big RE fan so the name alone won't do it for me, I EXPECT INNOVATION!
Based on the demo the fact that you can't run and shoot is simply annoying and really feels like it hinders my enjoym...
This is a problem created by the media and "some" of there reviews of the game. - remember on Xplay where one of the host who was doing a preview kept comparing this killzone 2 to CoD4. This comparison (and some pro 360 fans) is what to blame for this.
Personally I would not have this game play anyother way. Enough with this dumbed down video game market FPS aimed at giving "everyone a fair chance". Its time we seperated the the noobs from the vets and that'...
I have been with this very site from the very start, some of the News for Gamers veterans may remember me. I've verbaly gone through wars with the likes of THE MART and Real Deal about this whole PS3 vs. 360 fanboy crap. I very rarely go through the trouble of posting my opinions to this site because I enjoy reading about other gamers opinions instead of trading insults back and forth.
My question to every N4G member is "Who is to blame"?
Who should we bla...
Howw the hell is this SONY's fault? Come on, gamers these days are so damn fickle and have extremely short memories! I mean does anyone remember CoD4 release day? How bout Warhawk? Or what about Halo 2? These things happen and all we as gamers can ask is that these companies learn from these mistakes, fix them in a timely manner, and possibly throw us gamers something free for our troubles (hear that Slant6 some free downloadable content would be nice)
If this was Isonamic and...
I think it will be LBP that actually helps Home become a hit (if it becomes a hit at all). Everyone is really just sinking there teeth innto LBP and making there own levels, being creative and interacting with eachother so much that I think it could have a very positive effect on Home. I think the success of LBP will just make gamers that more interested in Home. One thing we can say is that the LBP Home combo is looking to be a huge hit. Could really turn the tide of the entire console race...
Great for MS!!! You sold out a couple thousand consoles! Wake me up when it's a couple hundred thousand sold out!
Facts people:
Wii has/is selling out SINCE LAUNCH! Since when is a couple thounds consoles sold really produced a winner in these console wars?
I'm glad they aren't sitting on store shelves but MS AND SONY need to get there asses back in the game because the rate they are selling consoles in Japan is embarresing!
All of these points are heavily reliant on your opinions and personal points of view.
But ONE MAJOR POINT I WOULD HAVE TO ADDRESS: "History repeats itself. This is the reason a wise man knows it. The system that gets its development tools into game developers' hands first will win."
This one statement disqualifes the author of any and all credability! WHY? Well becasue it's clear that the 360 IS NOT WINNING as of right now. Nintendo is the one who is compl...
I really don't see a need for MS to add-on anything much less a bluRay drive at this point. What are they to gain? Not much really, if it's not standard in all there consoles then it will not benifit the 360 at all. If you want a BluRay drive in tandem with your console purchase a PS3.
These rumors aren't really even news, could we put this to rest already............
/sigh TGS so far has been very dissapointing from all sides
Not for totally messing up my hype for FF13 but for waiting so damn long to announce it. I wish they would have just made it multiplatform from the start! That is what really REALLY get me pissed about all this. SQUARE SAID: ONLY ON PS3 SQUARE SAID: ONLY POSSIBLE ON PS3!!!!
Now we are going to get a gimped version of the game, which is truly sad. Why not make an exclusive game seperate from FF13for 360 owners and STAY ON COURSE WITH FF13 for PS3 owners?
Square ...
I love Killzone 2, I will be playing day 1 with the rest of you. BUT that wasn't explosive the PSN online multiplayer video was damn impressive. This was really mild manner compared to it, and I absolutely HATE youtube videos, the quality sucks feels like I'm watching TV under water! Killzone2 FTW
The one major thing that annoys me the most from these keynote speeches (from all game companies) is that we always have to hear about how "well" these consoles/games are selling. Seriously I don't care! I NEVER cared! Just show us the damn games and the sales will come! Honestly who really believes this anyways? Every company is only goning to tell you they are selling great, I mean who is going to hold a press confrence and say "sales are down 62%"
They remind me of a insomniac with they way they churn out quality game after quality game. I will definetly reward them with my money great job Level 5!
what are you talking about?
I could careless if the game is exclusive or not but what has catch my eye is the positive words Konami has express about the PS3 hardware:
Masashi Tsuboyama, chief director, answers some questions in the latest Electric Shock magazine. Here are the points of interest:
Konami and the team behind Silent Hill have looked at the current consoles and concluded they all have limitations that hamper their ideas for the game and delay progress. Except the PlayStation 3.

I bought it for my kids today, they are having fun with it right now. I think the problem with this review is simply this game wasn't made to be played by hardcore gamers. I don't see why anyone should bash the Wii, my 4 year old son and 5 year old daughter simply love the Wii, they have fun they get alittle exercise and I don't have to worry about being bothered while I'm playing R:FOM online. sounds like a win-win to me ^.^
Earlier on the thread I made the point about how the developers would logiclly feel about the 360 customers paying for XBl. Logiclly developers want money from developing games and like it or not paying money for the right to play YOUR games on YOUR console just takes money out of the hands of gamers and developers alike. If you were a developer and wanted to maximize your earning potential why would you support XBL?
So far I heard fans of 360 and XBL tell me things like "...
