Harmonix have hit the nail on the head for me and its something I understood from the moment I watched the demo.
The whole experience of drumming is the tactile feedback of actually hitting a surface and feeling the sticks or your hands bounce back as a result of the impact. Its the very definition of drumming to strike something.
Could you imagine Donkey conga without the Bongo's? Or Rock Band drumming without pads?
Air drumming is simply waving y...
Thats really daft attitude dude - they are games and its fun.
Its like saying that people who enjoy playing FPS games should join the army.
In this 'phoney war' where every misplaced word is misinterpreted and given huge 'meaning' he was quite right to dodge such a loaded question!
Can you imagine if he said something like " I'm sure we could shift a lot of copies of Gears2".
You just know the net would be awash with reports screaming " Kaz begs for Gears2" or "Sony desperate for MS line up".
I think they've learnt to not play that game if they can avoid it... :) ...
This is another great example of the quality dowloadable titles that are starting to become common on PSN. Full 1080P experiences crafted for the system, that are genuinely innovative and also very good value.
Love it!
Japanese have very different tastes to Americans.
They have much smaller room sizes too, and for them, a console the size of a 360 where you have to find space for a power brick too and put up with really noisy operation is seriously prohibitive.
The size of the PS3 is also too large for them, but at least it doesn't have the power brick and noise issues.
Those reasons may seem daft to people from another cultural viewpoint with larger rooms, but trust me,...
It's simply not as awesome as many wanted it to be.
If you take it for what it is its fun. Its simply not the AAA exclsive blockbuster that we were told to expect - but lets face it, very little is.
Some will love it, some will hate it, its simply not a game with universal appeal.
Well I hope its not strugling too much!
I've always enjoyed splinter cell games and I'm hoping for a strong showing again from this franchise. I think its safe to say the initial development showed some weaknesses in the design, and I'm gald they are prepared to spend the time correcting it.
Appologies. This is not the article I originally thought and is indeed a new one!
I guess the reason I reported this as a duplicate is because he says the same old tired rubbish he says in every interview he's ever done.
The fact of the matter is that games revenue is increasing enourmously every year, but overall revenue from PC games is shrinking. Its slice of the pie is getting ever smaller, and a lot of previously PC only developers are moving into the consol...
Mattrick has always been a liar. He was at EA, where I had personnel experience, and he is now.
He's an excellent example of someone who would say anything at all if thought it would give him some sort of PR advantage.
Its very tough to believe anything the guy says.
I never liked the guy when he was at E.A.
His complete lack of vision was why we never managed to get approval for Dungeon Keeper 3, and why such creativbe teams as westwood Origin and Bullfrog were destroyed.
He's still a t*sser now, and still has flawed vision.
£20 for a full game of this qualitty is still cheap as far as I'm concerned, so I've no complaints..
Its a valid point, but in two years time I'm really not interested in playing a game 2 years old online. Servers tend to get shut down when no one uses them anymore. Its never effected me as I'm always playing current titles....
A selfish view I know, but I'm sure most players feel the same.
Whilst I'd agree that there is a far greater number of titles on live, I'd have to say that the quality of the average offering on PSN is far superior. Most of it is in true 1080P too.
..and if we're talking 'limitations', the service thats seriously limited in what it can offer is Live with its limit on the size of the downloadable games it offers. PSN can offer full games and just about any size, and titles like Warhawk, GT 5 Pro and the new Siren game show that PSN can distr...
You shouldn't let that put you off the system though mate!
Some good games to be had!
I play a good game wehre ver I find it!
This is ancient news and I read this same quote on this site a week ago....
Once again we see the difference in PR approaches from the companies -Microsoft are always ready to take fire at the competition, but the competition very rarely fires back and simply talks about its own strategy.
I love the 360. But I do despise MS and its strategy's and approaches to the media - I did before they entered the games business and nothing has changed since.
I should say though that is only at the top level. I've Worked closely with MS game studios on seve...
Oops thanks for clearing that up!
I was mistaken about what it was - its simply taking an internet provided TV signal. Now I understand so thanks..
One of the most stupidest and unsubstantiated pieces of rubbish I've ever heard. I bet this guy is mates with Brucey boy....
Software sales for PC's are going down. Software sales for consoles are ever invreasing. The value of the games buisness is rising year on year. We're already nearly %50 up on last year and ny far the most profitable and largest growing media section. Every single factual figure you can find shows you that this guy has not got a clue.
When the ...
Not another duplicate story??
The MTV multiplayer article was posted here yesterday, so plese add the alterante url rather than submitting the same news again and again....

Much as I've never really liked this guy, he does make a very valid point, and we can all hope that the format shifts to make the show have a better 'focus'.
If he can help make this happen, then kudos to him.
