Excuse me while I go enjoy The Doomed Knight on BluRay again.
A 40% INCREASE? The PS3 is doomed! DOOMED!
/sarcasm.
I still think a price drop in early 2009 would make the system more competitive however.
Now if they can just fix their online component and give me some actual news instead of fanboy wars and fluff, we'll be in business. Interviews with devs are awesome, but crap like "Top 5 effeminate RPG heroes" needs to go.
Mega Man X9
HD sprites.
Peeze?
Hey, at least it doesn't have too much variety like that darned Ratchet & Clank game, eh? ;-)
Stop using logic good sir. This is N4G!
Sure there is. It's called the PS2.
"Well Red Faction is being released 4 years after the 360 launch while Uncharted 2 is 3 years after the PS3 launch so yeah the PS3 got maxed out quicker"
I can be like Omega too! Red Faction is a multiplatform title, also available on PS3! Pretty pathetic that the 360 is maxed out via a multiplat title. It looks worse than Uncharted 2 even! Thus, PS3 > 360 by your own "logic." Haha, fanboys fail.
Seriously, grow up. Just as I said in the Red Fa...
*sigh*
Another day on Blogs4Fanboys.
Inconsistency and bias? In reviews?
Psh, no way!
I have to agree with Blademask. Problems overlooked in other titles I see being brought up here. Repetitive enemies, hello thar CoD4. Didn't stop it from being one of the best FPSs EVER.
I don't like the notion of judging games before they are finished. Reviewers have a hard enough time being unbiased with a final product, let alone an unfinished one.
The concept of "Game X Killer" is a stupid one concocted by the media to sell magazines and get clicks. Don't fall for it. Please be smarter gamers than that. No game will "kill" another game, because there's this little secret fanboys don't know - games CAN co-exist, and it's okay to like more than one!
Oh Helghast, how utterly right you are.
This is absurd. People complain when they show games too early, such as Killzone. Now they complain when they decide to hold showing early things back?
Wow. What's with the hatorade?
Some games are just more broken than others sadly. Look at the amount of easy, available glitches in CoD WaW compared to CoD4. CoD4, IIRC, has TWO level escape bugs in MP. CoD WaW has been out for a quarter of the time, and they have already found about EIGHT.
Devs need to realize that they need to REALLY test their MP more.
Unfortunately, you'd suspect wrongly in this case. There should be a list on Kotaku. Couple that with still iffy matchmaking, and it's not becoming of a so called AAA release, as I said, regardless of console.
I know both of you to be smart posters, so no need to fight. Though I do think both of you bring up a great point. What the hell is going on with games these days? Fable 2. Socom Confrontation. Gears of War 2. Little Big Planet. All 4 of them major releases. All 4 of them HUGE holiday titles with large expectations. All 4 of them HUGELY buggy and glitchy, and yet for the most part ignored in reviews.
What the sh1t? Is this what developers think of gamers these days? Is there ANY...
"Bashing" should not be in the vocabulary of "professional, unbiased" media sites that pride themselves on "ethics and journalistic integrity." That's your first mistake. Constructive criticism is one thing... "bashing" helps no one. So again, thank you for admitting that the media is indeed foolishly biased.
Also, no console is perfect. To think otherwise is silly. The PS3, 360, and Wii are all flawed, but all bring great things to the tab...
EGM has been going down since before the recession however. Print media just isn't as viable with the advent of the internet. Considering "game journalism" is rather... weak as it is, this was inevitable sadly.
