“MAG or Demon's Souls or ModNation will get a free slip. “
Because MAG has 256 players, 16x Halo, Demon’s Souls was an extremely low-budget title that was not expected to sell much, and Modnation again is from a new developer who have clearly focused on their track creation tools
Whereas Halo 3 was a massive-budget, hyped title that introduces nothing new to gameplay and yet fails to deliver more than average graphics
And I have read posts from you calling Resistance ...
Well, there is a difference between the two
Bungie is a developor of great pedigree: Myth, Marathon, halo 1, the online for Halo 2
Halo on the other hand is a franchise that has basically done nothing for several years, in terms of gameplay, technology, graphics, story
The question is whether Bungie have any of their earlier talent left in them after 10 years of churning out the same old generic Halo games. I suspect not.
Bungie's involvement was to churn out Halo games, with the same basic, generic gameplay, mediocre story and character development and average graphics. Any developer could pick it up and create a new halo game, it could be just like Halo 3 and still sell 10 million, in a way halo is like what Mario Kart is for racing games.
The difference is that casual shovelware or new iterations of the same old series are all that the wii has
Does the wii have 720p, a functioning multiplayer envirenment, new exciting franchises such as Uncharted, inFamous, innovative games such as LBP or Modnations, massive 3rd party franchises?
What would you choose?
GT5 / Motorstorm / Burnout / Grid or Kart?
FF/WKC/Demon's Souls/Fallout/GTA/Borderlands or Zelda?
LBP/inFamous/Uncharted/Ratche t or ...
"if Sony finally paid for an exclusive and it was Mass Effect 3"
Though I would love ME trilogy to come on PS3, making ME3 exclusive, even if Sony could afford it, would be cruel and unfair on the ME fans on 360 who have played 1 and 2 and cant afford to buy another console
And bottomline is, Sony cant aford it. Each ME game probably costs 40-50 million to develop (after all the scale is similar to FF or MGS, which cost even more).
I am just ho...
Add me to the list.
Would be awesome.
"The reason the Wii is selling good is because its fun and non gamers are buying them up!"
Exactly. A system that is much cheaper (or so it seems to non-gamers who dont know anything about gaming) and its mainly non-gamers that are snapping them up
So basically, now you can buy a system that offer all that the wii offers but in a superior format, with HD, free online that thrashes the paid Live (try playing Gears online with its laggy, host advantage and glicth-ridden ...
At least if Sony "copies" the wii they will bring out some decent, imaginative games using motion control
What has the wii produced in almost 4 years? The same old Mario, Zelda, Mario Kart all with the same gameplay that you saw 10 years back, with laughable storylines and flawed game mechanics, such as Kart's rubber band AI
Its Sony's exclusives that have been responsible for most of the innovation and creativity in this generation. LBP, Heavy Rain, Modnation Racers, ...
So you get pawned by Morganfell and you resort to personal attacks?
1. You do not know how the reply button works
2. The game works pretty fine, and did so within a few months of release
3. At least Slant six did their best to support the game, unlike Epic with Gears. That game is as broken as SOCOM:C, and unlike S6 Epic did nil to fix the game
So how many of you who are against S6 feel Epic would ruin Gears 3 and that game would suck based on their track r...

Care to remind us why resistance is "overly generic and boring as hell" and Halo is not? The most generic shooter series right now is Halo, in every aspect - cliched story and characters, generic shooting mechanics, level design. Its true that Halo was a pioneer when it comes to shooters on consoles (though Goldeneye would dispute that) but today if a Halo game came out with a different name, it would get 8/10 and be dismissed for being so awfully generic
Just mario Galaxy 2
Just Mario Kart 7
Just Halo 5
The list goes on
With the kind of generic gameplay and catch-up graphics that Halo Reach "boasts", they will need the marketing. But still, it will definitely help to sell 10 million, which will prove that its the king of shooters, just like Mario Kart is the best racing game, and Just Dance is the best game this year
"While it's widely accepted that, on paper, the PlayStation 3 features much greater technical specifications"
Its not accepted by the media, even though apparent.
Have a peek at Eurogamer's apologetic explanation for the inferior FF13 360 version, where they do their best not to criticise the inferior 360 architecture and shift blame on the developer.
"there has been little produced for the system thus far that stretches beyond the capabilities ...
Thanks - probably will opt for the PSP Go then
Anyone recall the intense antiPS3 campaign that kotaku and other media sites carried out after its launch? Including articles that claimed that the PS3 is underpowered and PS3 games would always look inferior? maybe they should divulge how much money they get from MS and 360-related ads. Pot, kettle, black indeed.
Pardon my ignorance – but can you play PSP games on the TV with a PS3 controller?
If so, would take the plunge and buy a PSP, because this is, without a doubt, the true MGS5. And desperate for some stealth gaming, just not too keen on handheld gaming.
Thats a tall claim, but already done - KZ2 remains the only game so far to have human-like AI, unpredictable, smart, yet not robotically perfect
Well, better than removing the game and leaving the manual, as in Splinter cell and Halo:ODST
And they need to keep a short paper cheatsheet with a list of game controls at least, for reference
Looks like mods deleted my earlier comments so let me try again by posing a question based on Facts
FACT: Every major PS3 exclusive has been in 720p, without any sacrifice in other aspects of graphics.
FACT: ODST, AW and SC:C are all in much lower resolution and are still inferior in other aspects (textures, animations, etc).
FACT: All three games are the result of several years of development, longer than any PS3 game except maybe GT5
FACT:...
Cool - I agree completely, graphics is not the sole criteria, just that weak graphics is more forgivable for niche or small titles than huge titles such as Halo 3. UC2's achievement was to deliver a lot of content and great gameplay while delivering great graphics as well.
Resistance is a strange franchise, some really good parts mixed with some weak points, but also the closest to Halo in terms of feel and gameplay. We might be getting Resistance 3 at the same time as Halo Reac...
