The character designs are straight up cheesy and the combat's boring. I was busy playing Virtua Fighter when the KI turd released, but I'm all for a new 360 version as long as the cast isn't laughable, and the combat's up to par. Plus it might get Rare away from this kiddie crap kick M$ is forcing them into.
The game was released with a miniscule amount of tracks and vehicles, and they make up for it by charging for every little addition! How much will it cost for the full Motorstorm experience by the time they're done? $75? $100?
I love chess. It'd be cool if Ubisoft would do a take on Battlechess and perhaps add Prince of Persia characters to the mix.
One year later, and still sucking hard. Where's the Medal of Honor Airborne and Orange Box demos? The 360 marketplace is light years beyond PSN. If these meager offerings look good to you then you must be very accepting of mediocrity.
And it came with the system. I can't think of one good reason why I'd want to spend double or triple what I'd pay for a movie on DVD. It's the same frickin' movie!
After reading the new EGM, I'm once again excited for it. A character driven action game like God of War melded with the online dungeon addictiveness of Diablo? Yeah, color me happy.
Kojima obviously doesn't give a crap about the Xbox 360. Want the game? Buy a PS3.
Then again, Golden Axe 2 and 3 sucked fiercely. Sega needs to bring the Death Adder's revenge arcade title to XBLA and PSN.
I honestly believe these guys throw out big review scores for high profile games because they are rewarded by the publishers one way or another.
Maybe I'm wrong but Lost Odyssey to me looks very generic. Ouch to those Kingdom Under Fire scores.
I'm considering buying Orange Box and was trying to determine which version (PS3 vs 360) I'd want. The 360 may have a more solid framerate and lack the weird motion blurs, but I won't need to keep renewing a Live subscription in order to keep playing Team Fortress 2. To me that's one huge positive for the PS3 version.
If this were a PS3 scratching discs thread he'd be in here claiming they put crappy drives in their hardware. No sign of him when it's a 360 problem.
Than I'm perfectly fine with that. In the meantime Sega appears to have "jumped out" of 360 development. Awww Firstknight's upset because Sega has nothing for him and his 360.
I think action games have evolved quite a bit over the past few years, and DMC4's design looks stuck in the past.
Haze probbly won't flop, but it's not going to be one of the top tier type shooters either. Much like Blacksie Area 51 is solid, yet run of the mill, the developers of Haze (Free Radical?) didn't seem to take any chances with this game. Haze looks to be a combination of ideas and concepts from other shooters.
Is it really a matter of improving skills, or in actuality improving your memorization?
I cannot get excited for this game no matter what. I'd also like to know exactly what Mistwalker is considering they co-developed Blue Dragon, with Artoon (developer of some of the worst games ever made)?
The only Jrpg I'm excited for on 360 is Infinite Undiscovery, and it's going to be very interesting to see how Japan reacts to a true exclusive 360 JRPG from an the established Tri-Ace.
More like Bioware's Mass Effect, and now EA's Mass Effect.
For all we know Howard Stringer lives in an alternate universe where the PS3 is running the same sales course as PS2 did during it's first year. Or not...
The reviewer brought up some good sticking points, a big one being that there aren't enough continues, thus turning your $90 game into nothing but frustration.
I've owned quite a few light gun games over the years (Virtua Cop 1& 2, HotD 2& 3, Time Crisis 3), and really, they're fun diversions, but there's a lot better you could be playing for a fraction of that $90 Time Crisis 4 costs.
If anything it sounds like IGN's score was a bit too high.
..help Sony leave M$ in the dust is system sales. Just think, it's not the only FF game hitting the PS3 either. Of course M$ will try and counter this in Japan with some new console bundle that includes 4 free games, a play and charge kit, an extra controller, a year of LIVE for free, plus an invitation to dinner at Bill Gates house.
If Kojima does care for the 360 then perhaps you can name one game he's releasing for it? Yeah, didn't think so.
It's a fact that Sony just cut their licensing fees in half in order to encourage more PS3 development, and they're most likey paying for some of the development and will probably pay for the marketing. This is a huge game for them, so it's doubtful they're going to share it. It's funny how xbots have no problem with Bioshock or Mass Effect being multiplatform, yet are cryi...
