Surely a new DS or wii is not required - after all, it will be the same control system with better graphics, and graphics doesnt matter - right, nintendo?
Forza 4 will come out or at least be announced before GT5 releases
But...
Forza 4 would still look worse than GT Prologue, forget GT5
Still be in 720p and have 8-player online
Have the same last gen damage models Forza 1 had
Look exactly the same as Forza 2
Continue to have laughable interior models, no weather/night racing, arcadey physics which the xbox crowd will lap up as "realistic"
"It's just a shooter with high capacity servers and long term stat tracking."
Havent played it have you?
There is no smack talk on PSN and the more popular games (KZ2, SOCOM, Warhawk, UC2, MAG soon) need a lot of teamwork and tactics as opposed to teenage reflexes.
After using PSN for many months, I have seen barely 1-2 occassions where someone was swearin. Whoever has a mic behaves with utmost courtesy and politeness.
Also, having a mic has no correlation with teamwork in my experience - especially UC2 coop and KZ2 online. In both case, I have worked with players with ...
MAG is a good game if you go by Edge scores - according to Edge, its around the same score as KZ2, Resistance 2, Valkyria, inFamous, Motorstorm 2, GT4: Prologue, Heavenly Sword, Ferrari and Echochrome, and better than Folklore - obviously a good game, right? Unfortunately, those morons scored all those games at 70 or below. What a joke of a review site!
Awesome post, and well put! Bubbles for ya!
The question is not "if" it will come out on PS3 but when - so if there are any 360 owners holding on to this as a mascot for the 360 or PS3 owners bashing it for being on 360, dont bother. The PC version is better anyway than any 360/PS3 version (and thats true for most games).
And its a great game, but every game has flaws, some of his points are spot on such as
"Any time you leave a hallway and enter a large room packed with crates and low walls you know one thi...
One thing no-one picked up: EA dropped DRM for this game. Goes to show that a well made game does not to beat up gamers with painful DRM to sell.
But in this case, I hope the numbers are true, they have done everything you could have asked of them, and unlike Turn 10 they have made genuinely huge improvements in the game, and kept their mouths shut and let the game do the talking. Good show from Bioware.
the 360 just cant keep any exclusives, Bioshock, ninja Gaiden, Condemned, Dead Rising, Lost Planet...
But really, everyone lost in this case. Most PS3 owners would have sold off their GTA copy by now, so wont be able to enjoy this. Rockstar also loses out on revenues. And MS got no real advantage out of their deal really, as 360 sales got absolutely no boost from this exclusivity.
They may not be too far off with 1 mn sales each on 360 and PC first week. First game sold 2million, Fable sold 3 million + and this one should sell 3m+ on the 360 as well.
Well deserved numbers for a great game. I was in half a mind to pick up a used 360 just for this game, because PC does not support gamepad. But I also hear comments on how the mouse-keyboard controls are better. Any PC-console gamers have any perspective on this? No PC-console bias my side, so if mkb is genuinely bet...
The main defense of the wii is that gameplay matters, not graphics
I am looking forward to how they try to sell wii 2 whenever it comes out, with the same waggle controls and better graphics
itts 10 for tactical gamers, the SOCOM crowd, those who like to see a game deliver more than just run and gun with glitches and cheaters
Its a 6 for the CoD crowd who just wont appreciate it
You miss the point - you dont need aim assist on PC because the mouse is very accurate and the best controller for aiming. The diference is that effective use of auto-aim in console games have made it easier to aim using the gamepad, otherwise shooter games would not succeed on consoles
Cant see video blogs at office so dont know what he says - but he is right to say that PC gaming is much less strong now. The local used games shop I use commented on the large number of gamers trading in PC games to switch to console
There are reasons:
- console shooters starting with Halo have perfected the subtle art of auto-targeting so that even with a gamepad, you can shoot accurately.
- The online component PS3 and 360 has become pretty good, and the feel of co...
I remember Kamiya's RE4 looked so much inferior on PS2. It was believed to be down to the PS2's weaker architecture, but I wonder if a large part of that was owing to Kamiya being incompetent at handling non-PC like architecture
The main reason why Mass Effect will come to PS3? Poor sales.
This game is on the same scale as MGS4 and probably cost more than MGS - 50 or 60 million my guess - and yet sales were barely 2 million on 360, similar to average shooters such as Lost Planet which would have cost barely a third of Mass Effect. LBP and Uncharted 1 both beat Mass Effect sales, and combined cost less half as much as ME. Fact: anything that is not brain-dead spray and pray gunplay, a halo/Gears/CoD, hardly sell...
This game is probably pretty close in spirit to Heavy Rain - it does have guns, but if you play it like a shooter you will likely be disappointed. This is basically a story-heavy, cinematic game with excellent character design and fleshed out decision trees. In those respects, its pretty much the same concept as Heavy Rain.
And before the zillions of halo fans descend, I should add that imho what Bungie are doing is spot on - Halo 1 was superb in terms of gameply, and for some games (God of War and Gears being other examples) the gameplay is so good to begin with that changing it makes no sense
What I really hate is that sites like Edge butcher developers like Insomniac, hard-working teams who always produce good games, and then give a free pass to Halo or GTA.
