@Dreddi:
I'd say it's the other way around. MS licking Activision's balls that is
Lens of Truth's comparison is VERY misleading. There is no statement made anywhere in this article whether GT5's video comparison was made with 8 cars or 16 cars on the track. As we all know, Forza3 is pumping alot less polygons, AI work, etc on the same track for the same races. When did Forza3 start hosting 16 car races?
I don't see how "superb" the facial animations are. It seems to be a cut above GTA4 but it's nothing like what I saw from Ninja Theory's Heavenly Sword. Its not even quite in the same league as uncharted 2 either. But maybe the best for a sandbox title.
The examples you gave are just plain retarded. Apple has never charged a subscription fee for their app store, iTunes. They know they can earn money via microtransactions, they don't need to resort to subscriptions. I would venture to say if apple ran Sony, Sony wouldn't have the trouble marketing here in the us as they have against ms. Finally, being a proud owner of an iPad. I don't particularly see anyone with a net book utilizing their 5mp cameras for video chats... And ...
Methinks ps360fanboy doth works for microshaft PR
Those Microsoft owned apple shares were sold along time ago. Apple products are well made enough that a cycle of last gen iPhone owners have upgraded rather than migrated.
I think you are mistaking a fundamental concept about apple and lifestyle computing and how or why it is successful. It's great that you'll be getting one of those uber specced tablet systems coming out. Yeah it's nice you'll be getting 2x the speed and 4x the capacity of my current iPad (I'm t...
Mysto,
Why don't we meld your suggestion and the authors and take a look at that trend?
"Xbox 360, PS3". It shows the gap has LONG closed.
I got the game and it is gorgeous. However, fanboys claiming this proves that the 360 can do Uncharted 2 graphics need to check themselves into a mental hospital. It's definitely a step up... but not there.
Actually, Uncharted 2 uses two physics engines. For small objects like tables, boxes, and props, it uses the Havok Engine. For large destructive environments such as building, train, etc Naughty Dog came up with their own Physics engine that modeled collision interactions. (you can find this info on one of their many interviews).
Gears2 textures are inferior to Uncharted 2, we don't need to pull up the comparisons to know this. The fact that NO major publication has e...
Using your stunted logic, lets' look at the 0 out of 1500+ titles and 5 years that the 360 that sit at proof of your denial and your fanboy inferiority complex
I must be new cuz I didn't know Electrical shocks cause people to blow up???! We gotta ban those cop tasers!
I think i'm in a pretty good position to talk about this. I just picked up a 64gb iPad a week ago in order to pursue editing my DSLR photog RAW files on the fly and uploading it.
I decided to pick up a game during my downtime and surprisingly have been playing pretty hardcore strategy and RPG games with the unit.
There are alot of very well-made and deep titles on the iPad. The portability and "giant" screen size is fantastic, the touchscree...
What is with MS... Don't they sample test some of these discs??? Or are they cutting costs again by skipping the whole process? You gotta wonder about the quality of the manufacturer of these discs. Geezus.
Great sasanova.
I have to say that the trailers that they show for Halo Reach are certainly some of the best I have seen period. When I actually played the game, i thought... this is what Halo3 should've looked like. Gameplay wise, there isn't anything new, but it's good.
Is it 10/10 good? The trailers hell yes. Gameplay more like 8/10 very solid but a retread.
Personally I don't think it's the last Halo. I'm sure it's just being marketed that way. Microsoft will probably spit out another sequel to follow along the COD franchise. And each time, they'll probably proclaim each iteration as the "last" halo. lol.
in many ways you sound just as, if not more delusional than your bed buddy Microsoft.
nope. Nothing the competitors aren't doing with better hardware/software support/integration.
What really gets to me is how MS hasn't convinced so many suckers to pay for online multiplayer when practically every other console, PC, media system out there that plays games don't charge to connect. It's like reliving AOL again.
multi discs due to limited disc space, adding on HDMI, adding on Wifi, RROD, raising Live prices, scratching drives, HD-DVD debacles, are just the extra largesse that Microsoft has dealt you over the last 5 years.
you&...
@infekt: I'd like you to a cost comparison of Apple vs. Microsoft expenses on marketing - sources cited before you try to blow smoke up people's a55e5 around here.
