I'm still seeing nothing but dance and fitness games, really.
That's just not my style. It may do well with the casuals, but I doubt I'll ever game with mine. I do science experiments with it, on my PC, instead. That's good fun!
I think the number of actual Moves (i.e. not other devices) shipped was somewhere around the 9M mark, by (possibly unreliable) VGC numbers, last I checked. VGC also guessed that Move households own about 1.7 Moves on average, so that'd put the number of Move households probably somewhere over 5M.
I know VGC != truth, but they are usually in the ballpark... sorta. They just tend to underestimate Sony, and overestimate MS, until they get around to correcting their totals....
Actually, no Move games require 2 controllers. The Fight and Sports Champions can use two, if you want, but they don't require it. I can't think of a single Move game that actually requires more than 1, and I own a ton of them... as does every PS3 owner, since Move support is pretty common, tbh.
In any case, my point was basically that there still aren't any interesting Kinect games, for me. Its a fun science toy, and nothing more -- my kids are even tired of i...
I have a feeling that the Move will eventually outsell Kinect -- its just plain more useful as a gaming peripheral, even if it has less "wow! different!" gizmo factor.
Kinect is a fun toy, but honestly I only use it with my PC -- I don't see any reason to use it on my XBox, for gaming. I sure like fooling around with it on my PC though... Awesome fun for mad science @ home!
"confrontation is better and that doesn't say much at all"
Spoken like someone who has never actually played either game. You just invalidated your opinion to basically everyone.
Not all SOCOM fans think its so far from SOCOM.
You only hear the words of the vocal complainers on teh interwebz. In the beta, the talk is much different, unless a whiner happens to be online.
I had one on my team last nite. He couldn't stop complaining about the game for all 3 hours I played. Votes to kick the guy continually *almost* succeeded. He "hated" it the whole time that he played it. Turns out he'd been playing it a ton, afte...
" The series has been tarnished to be more of an arcade style shooter"
Lol. SOCOM 2 had guys strafing at like 40 mph, and pinpoint accurate laser hipfire guns for weapons. This game is FAR less arcade than its predecessors.
Game looks better than just about every game made since 2008, except some obvious other Sony exclusives. I dunno wth he is talking about.
Doesn't sound that impressive to me -- it sounds "on par" with other tech releasing in the same timeframe... except the NGP, which is way over the top, if it releases at the same time.
For its price, you'd think Apple would go with a quad core GPU on the iPad 2, as well... but they've chosen not to.
So... $250 item has 171% the preorders of $600 item?
The article title sounds like spin, since you could title this article:
"Total Money Put Down for Preorders for PS3 was 40% higher than 3DS"
...and you'd be correct, now wouldn't you? Why are we interested in comparing home console pre-orders to handhelds anyway? Are we certain that the iPhone and iPod Touch don't qualify in this "most preorders ever" thing...
Video games are titanic, multi-million dollar projects -- putting a hard deadline on them, long before they were ready, would be foolhardy, and a gigantic waste of marketing money. We're talking 200+ man-years here, in every major game.
Most console game engines consist from 0.75 to 1.5 million lines of code, and that's not inclusive of the middleware SDKs they use.
That's approximately the amount of text in 100 300-page novels, and it all has to...
Someone needs to make a PC/grill combo case, grease-proofed, with a GTX 590 pre-installed, and a special heatsink. As long as you keep grillin', you can keep playin'.
Gaming and barbeque FTW.
So that's what he needed the donations for...
Said character would have to be from a MS franchise (or Warner Bros, who owns Mortal Kombat), for licensing reasons.
The character would likely have to be from Halo, Fable, or Gears (or Banjo Kazooie heh). It won't be Ryu, or any other 3rd party character.
Honestly, if Banjo was in MK, I would buy it DAY 1. The laughs I would get from destroying my opponents as Banjo would be unrivaled.
My guess: Kinect 2.0 will have a serial number, which will register with your XBLive account, and will never work with a different XBox, unless you call Microsoft, and convince a support person that the Kinect you own is not used, has never been plugged into another XBox, and is a Genuine Microsoft product. Too many people are "Kinect sharing" for Dance Central purposes, and this is NOT OKAY. These people are called "Dance pirates", and they number in the millions.
I'm not trying to be critical of your personal opinion, but... I don't get this train of thought -- even though I know its repeated over and over by many SOCOMers. You think people should be forced to play no-respawn? Should people be forced to buy the game, and play with us as well?
Having a respawn option will draw more players into classic no-respawn SOCOM, in the end. It'd be foolish to just force everyone to play classic -- you'd get rare few new SOCOM...
I agree with the camera. Otherwise, its very much SOCOM. Honestly, the controls are so much more fluid in this game than previous SOCOMs, I'd even say that, overall, its better.
Heresy, I know.
Good review. Convinced me that waiting for a 3DS-lite is the right thing to do. I'll bet I can get one right about when 3DS Mario and Zelda hit the shelves, which are always my primary reasons for owning a Nintendo console.
Um.. he's right. Sony's internal devs are the best. Hence awesome exclusive after awesome exclusive. I kinda get the impression that having the best devs and best exclusives is kinda... Sony's plan?
That's not really news, is it?
Except for Dance Central... no.
