Its obvious he never worked for MS. Its common knowledge the 360s initial manufacturing cost was well above the retail price.
The hardware only became profitable less than a year ago.
Sometimes I feel like I'm in bizzaro world.
I didn't have any frame rate problems except for TF2 and the fan boat section. Plus the loading points were the same as my PC version. Only difference was on the PC they took 10 seconds and on the PS3 they took 12 seconds. Maybe I somehow got an uber Orange Box copy that was better than everyone else.
Uh, did anyone play the game? I played HL2 on PC and I played all the Orange Box games on PS3 and it wasn't bad at all. In fact If I hadn't heard all the stuff about it being broken I would have guessed it was a great port.
I didn't have any frame rate issues at all besides a slight hiccup during the very beginning of the fan boat part and Team Fortress occasionally when things get crazy. Even those were distractions at most and far from unplayable.
Really, it's one ...
Well insiders have been saying for a while that God of War 3 will be the first to squeeze the hardware to it's limit and possibly be native 1080p.
SCE Santa Monica are wizards when it comes to graphics. Something that looks like God of War 2 shouldn't have been possible on PS2. They are also the ones that have been helping the Killzone team.
I just want the soundtrack. :D
He did an AMAZING job in Uncharted.
Well considering 2/3 of FF sales are in Japan . . .
This whole thing is more of a big deal psychologically. The main FF games were one of the PlayStation's biggest exclusives and now it is being shared. It gives fanboys ammunition in their battles, but most people don't really care about one-upping each other on the internet.
I think its great it goes multiplatform but . . .
How did Microsoft manage to get a bunch of Square-Enix timed exclusive games AND get SE to delay the North American and European releases on PS3 so the 360 version comes out at the same time? They are just going to sit on the completed PS3 version of FF13 while they port it to the 360? Localization shouldn't take that long.
If they are just going for more audience by bringing it to the two consoles seems like it would...
Every game should be required to have gun reloading done like this one. It feels so bad ass to pop a few zombies and jerk the controller to reload. Awesome use of the six axis.
Gonna be a great game.

This article is basically the same rubbish we have heard before. Getting code ports as the secondary development console, and as a result poor optimizations, and developer unfamiliarity are the main culprits of inferior multi-platform games.
The RSX can access Main CPU RAM with basically no restrictions. And while there are some restrictions when you want the CPU or SPUs to access video RAM at high speed, they are easy enough to work around.
In a closed box system l...
Vader effect.
From what I understand the Blue-rays are Constant
Linear Velocity which gives it the advantage in constantly streaming data from any part of the disk where the 12x DVD is Constant Angular Velocity and has the advantage in short bursts from the outer part of the disk.
It seems like developers to this point have had trouble figuring out the best ways to take advantage of the streaming capabilities of the PS3(well, besides naughty dog)
I want a CG movie. I think thats the only way they are gonna capture the feel of the game.
Alright, first I was interested in what this game was about, then I lost interest as it shaped up. Now that I hear this epic soundtrack it's getting, I want it again. :D
Wow that guys seems really cynical towards Sony and DualShock3. lol
I thought the DS3 was just about right.
This was an update, not a complete overhaul of the OS. In a couple months they'll do another update and add a couple more features people ask for, and so on.
Maybe people were delusional with their wants. They added a bunch of features this update ant they are still complaining. Complaining about the in game clock thing coming too late cracked me up. So he doesn't want it? Has time ended? lol
Anybody call the number yet?
I also downloaded the JP demo.
I was surprised all of it was in English. Seemed really good but it might be a little too scary for me. :O
If you think the Silent Hill games are creepy you should definitely check it out. The creator of the first two Silent Hills (which were the best ones IMO) made this game.
But why do they keep calling this a remake of the first siren? It's not a remake!
