Another doomsday Sony "article" with the proverbial question mark. Classy.
Gaming journalism 101: You can say anything for hits as long as you make it a question.
Lens of Lies again?
Let me guess: they said KZ3 looks better on the 360?
Fucking lol this shit site.
Ah, I remember the original TG-16 version 20 years ago. Blew me away. What an OST.
PS3 version (Steamworks, free PC/Mac version) still the best.
Got this on BluRay already, but might double dip. Classic game.
Laughing at the Xbot loser (paintsville) above. 2011 must be hard on Xbots clinging to the 360 like mice on a sinking ship.
Well said. Many of the most revolutionary games have been platform-specific.
I suspect the argument against console exclusivity is an attempt to downplay Sony's first party developers.
Looks like a solid game, but alas, I'm not 12 years old.
McWhertor might as well be wearing a MS shirt. His feeble attempt to support MS is laughable:
1) "It's actually great that MS hasn't announced exclusives yet! Don't worry! They're coming!"
2) "MS will convince the hardcore that Kinect is actually awesome!"
Good god man, face reality. MS is dumping the hardcore.
I agree with Istanbull above: UC1 was passed over by the media since it was a time when everybody was hating on the PS3 (even MGS4 caught the tail end of this negative press).
UC1 was a milestone, a joy to play, and yet, sadly, it's brushed off while UC2 is revered for having "fixed all the problems of UC1."
#2 Valkyria Chronicles
YES
I can't believe this game doesn't come up in gaming conversation more. The plight of PS3 exclusives--creativity overlooked in favour of mainstream garbage (yes, CoD, I'm looking at you).
This is the reason why I'm a gamer.
You've named yourself well -- DERANGED. Enjoy Skittles this year while the rest of us play actual games on the PC and PS3.
Sorry, video games are nowhere near becoming water cooler talk. Celebrity culture has the corner on this--a form of social cohesion in which people come together to evaluate the lives of celebrities as a means to trade cultural values and ethics.
And video games are not becoming the water cooler itself, either. You need a mass media cultural system (celebrity culture, international incidents, war) that everybody has access to through all media systems for this to happen. <...
I expect the media to encourage fanboyism, but not developers. Unclassy, Cliffy B. Unclassy.
Reminds me of Turn 10 and how they trolled Polophony Digital.
Mixed feelings on this. I LOVE Mansell's ost work, but I also feel that Wall's ambient music fit the game well. I LOVED the intro music to ME1.
At any rate, Mansell is a genius and he's unlikely to screw this up. I just hope Bioware didn't fire Jack Wall--not fair after all his great work.
Nor is he the guy even tweeting this stuff. It's PR people.
This article a sign of things to come? That is, if and when the PS3 passes the 360, will the media all of a sudden downplay the importance of sales and rankings that they've been instigating for years?
After all, media discussion of gaming has been dominated by quantitative measures (stats, sales, money, rankings, market share, E3 winners/losers) and not the qualitative (narrative, art, aesthetics, emotion, sound). Just look at the Bonus Round--nothing but an ongoing ...
Huh? Take a look at the PS3 lineup. UC3, Infamous 2, ICO/SoTC, Journey, in addition to Last Guardian. Plus multiplats like ME3 and Skyrim etc.
For me, Bioshock gets overshadowed by these.
Sadly, I'm not interested. Bioshock feels somehow dated for some reason. Perhaps because there's too many great games this year overshadowing it.
Put my 360 in the closet last fall. After today looks like it'll be there for the foreseeable future. For the life of me I don't understand how the gaming media supports the 360 over the PS3.
