I'm suprised to see other people not caring about rumble. I've not had it for ages and am quite happy about it - I switch it off whenever I can on the 360. I prefer to have lighter pad, so I'd only use the Dualshock for the odd game where its of bennifit.
Of course I'll probably end up getting one eventually, as there are some games that actually benifit from it, but in my opinion, very few.
No suprises at the tone of Eurogamer's prose - they don't try very hard ...
Nothing wrong with multi disc games when they are RPG's or naritive driven.
Whats the big deal?
Its only a problem if it were an arcade game - then you could justofiably moan as you would have to change discs depending on what circuit you needed or whcih level you were playing and you could be forced to swap multiple tiles.
This kind of game, its one swap, and just once. Not an issue.
I guess those who troll about it are using it to ...

But its brucey boy! I love to hate him!!!
Its a great excuse to vent my spleen that such pointless wastes of life are allowed to posture on the net! The guys an accountant FFS!
Having already had a go at his web hit trawling articles, I genuinely clicked and read this hoping for an objective opinion, so that I might show a bit of balance and write something like - 'fairs fair, thats was a balanced article and a reasonable analysis bruce. S...
Another pointless article of useless rhetoric, made up facts and p*ss poor analysis.
A decent and objective article on this could actually be a good read, but then we wouldn't expect to see intelligent objectivity from this muppet, would we?
Continuing on his 'I'll do anything for a web hit' tour, Brucey boy pours more fuel on the flames of the nerd war, safe in the knowledge that the terminally brain dead will click the link and take one side or another - and maybe eve...
Hmmm
Mario Workout?
Virtual Budgie?
Make up advisor?
Nintendo must know where they are making their money from, and there's absoluterly no chance that they will shift their market focus back to us old school gamers.
Their may be one or two titles that will appeal to us, but they will tidbits thrown from the table of scraps, while the focus remains on the mass market..
Ho ho ho!
All you droids are like trained seals - throw you a fish and watch you clap!
Lets look at the quotes shall we? The actual words that gave rise to this flame bait article..
"I think if I look over at the competitors' UI they may have some issues just displaying content"
and
"Lempel also pointed out that the PlayStation Store interface has "a lot of room with virtual shelf space to put a lot of things"...
Well, it would fit in with their plans to reach out to the casual market.
I hope they don't do it at the expense of the hard core fan though. MS have few first party developers. and I'd personally rather see them making games tragetted at us core gamers than trying to steal users from the WiFit and Brain Training brigade.
I also worry thats its a stratagey that simply won't work.
Off course their should be another Halo game!!
What a daft question!
Lets face it, the stories daft anyway, so any way they can get another one out is good for me.
The original Halo was one of the best genre defining first person shooters, and having created such a liked franchise, MS owes it to its fans to keep developing it.
I'll admit to being a little underwhelmed by Halo 3, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't welcome another one wi...
So where's the petiton to stop installation on P.C.'s?
They all have drives that are far faster than the 360's dvd or the PS3's Blu ray, but you won't find a single game that plays on a PC without installing to the hard drive first.
To the technically incompatant machine bashers: Its all about seek time. The data streaming rate from blu ray or DVD is fine, but it takes longer to find the start of that data and start reading it on a single head disk. A Hard disk has multi...
Far too many irratating flamers from both sides to be honest.
But it does amaze me that when a comment is made in a 360 thread by a 'Sony fan', you see tirade of people complaining that N4G is overrun with Sony lovers who never stop destroying threads and that 360 fans never do this.
This place is infested with 360 fans AS WELL as Sony fans, and both sets of blinkered people are destroying the site.
It used to be that it was just the comment secti...
What a ridiculous article.
By definition, a system seller is a game that sees a rise in hardware sales when it realeases?
PS3 sold many more units in Japan that it has in any other month - so the game WAS a system seller.
I'm not making qualative statements here, and not even making an opinion on the game or the system!
But its a fact that many more Japs than normal bought a PS3 this month because of MGS4. So its a system seller. Fact.
Its a sucess, in that its introduced some much needed features that people have been asking for.
Theres nothing been taken away, and we have extra features, many of them cool, how could anyone class that as failure?
No one promised it would bring world peace or halt global warming - it just added a bit more fuctionality to an already cool OS, so there no point in moaning 'yeah but it doesn't make my coffee for me'. LAME
If you need to point a finger and level some...
Now that's proper good looking screen shots - trully excellent!
Looks like they've got a brilliant game engine up and running, and my expectations for this title, which were all ready very high, have gone higher!
This was such a gooid game already! But it obvious they are really pushing to try and make it even better, so its likely I'll purchase it on this system too.
PS3 owners who haven't already expeienced this on the 360, are in for a real treat with this one I'm sure!
Pretty picky points to be honest - you could come up with more desirable features that actually possible much easier!
Web browsing won't happen - there simply won't be enough memory available to do it whilst the game is still loaded.
I like the idea of the controller automatically turning off - a pretty simple code fix I'm sure.
Maybe voice messaging and a few more codec's, but to be honest I'm pretty happy with what we got!
OH POG you really are the most pathetic nerd on here - really!
I've said quite clearly how much I like all the screenshots I've seen of this game. When the very first screen shots were shown and people were saying they were CG, I posted a thorough post showing clearly that they were in-game, and defending this title and the screen shots.
Now there is one dodgy screenshot and I point it out, I'm obviously some kind of fan boy? GROW UP!!!
The fact I don't pr...
I loved all the previous shots I've seen of this game and the first shot here!
But that 'exploration shot' looks well rough! Sorry, but I gotta call it as I see it.
We're not talking about art style here, which is excellent, but the environment is dead - almost nothing in it. There appears to a problem with the texture 'mip mapping' leading to that pixel jumble that the texture disintergrates into as it goes into the distance (look at the road texture as it goes into th...
Hey the studios closing and its games CV is hardly a showcase of modern technology - thats got to say a lot about the qulaity of the coders at that studio
Its no suprise that a studion of that calibre could not bring Bioshock to PS3.
Its a great game and needs some decent coders. They're certainly not having any trouble with it now, partly because of the improved coding toold available, and partly because there's a differnet more focusssed team on it, thats obviously res...
Well the first thing I did was play Super Stardust and that had trophies - so they obviously made sure at least one title had it!
Didn't pixel Junk monsters and Pain have it too? I haven't checked any other titles..
I see what your saying, but I just don't see what the big deal is... messaging is available in all titles, which seemed to be the feature everyone craved (though I'm not really that bothered myself).
Trophies and custom sound for a few titles, with a few more ...
Having played and finished this its a real failure.
Only 31 songs - about 12 of them from other artists. I did enjoy many of the other songs, but the lack of variety being forced to play Aerosmith is a real let down, and the whole experience is far too short, and a little easier than GH3 - I got gold stars and always 5 stars on first play through.
Of course, I actulla yhate Aerosmith, so thats gonna be a big factor here, but ob ly real die hard fans should apply...
