Design choice. There are still crazy effects going on, it's not as if all flash has been removed.
I may not agree with it, but NG has never been that insanely blood heavy, so I really don't care in the end.
Rocksteady, on their I believe second PS3 title, upstaged a lot of seasoned teams like Valve. They simply shut their mouths and made it happen. Same goes for Hayashi and the new Team Ninja.
And it looks like they are getting the sales for delivering a quality product to both consoles.
The MP screams quality. I'm almost curious to see what BS the usual suspects will drag up to tear this game down and nitpick it to hell.
Arnon - I'm talking per title, not series as a whole.
Jcaa - I hear ya. If that works for MS, let them do it. Like I said, a good title is a good title regardless of where it comes from. And yes, Sony's model has produced massive sellers - that is why I brought up Gran Turismo. The game is huge and outsells even Halo. GT averages 10+ million copies sold PER GAME, not just as a franchise. THAT is why I brought it up, and only why I brought it up.
And I agree as well w...
Gran Turismo outsells Halo FYI.
But the rest of your statement is true. A game is a game is a game, regardless of where it comes from, as long as its great. I should ask then, why you bring up sales for Sony's first party titles, if all that matters is that the games are good? Infamous isn't a worse game because it didn't sell 10 million copies. Hell, I had more fun with Army of Two than I did with the "big hitter" Resident Evil 5!
I have to agree. It's not bad at all... I just don't get the love.
....wow. Just wow.
So they know how many current PS3 owners are buying Slims, but it's a secret?
LOL. You are too great kid. Thanks.
Halo deserves better tech to match the solid gameplay.
Reviewers won't care though, its Halo.
The question is, can they prove it? I'd like to know how they figured this out. I don't actually believe what I just said, but you are quick to believe a similar statement with no backing?
Instead of attacking me, why don't you try using your brain and not listen to what every website posts as fact.
Well, that is for a WEEK, not the month. Which is pretty impressive. The real question is, will the system consistently sell better now? Or is this a once off?
LOL VGchartz.
I would also love to know how they figured out that about half of Slim buyers already own a PS3.
Really? That's like me saying 60% of Xbox 360 buyers are replacing RROD consoles.
Bungie is a great and talented team. Give them some respect... their core mechanics and design are really solid throughout. (Though they aren't perfect. They can't do a boss battle to save their life.)
I'd like to be able to sort my PS2 saves into alphabetical/date, and into a grid. The list ain't doin it for me.
Yeah, PS3 sales are spiking. But how long will it last? People need to relax a bit and observe, not say Sony/MS/Nintendo doomed!
$40 for at least 2 games on a disc? Remastered visuals in HD with 60fps, and Trophy support? Sure. Just don't let this turn into horse armor... IE, don't wreck a good idea. Make each release make sense and make it a quality release! ICO/SOTC!!
Yes. Without a doubt. Period.
ESPECIALLY when it comes to multipayer. I expect online games to be tested IN THE REAL WORLD, not on a team's private dev servers. I'm amazed at the amount of reviews that glossed over Gears 2's online issues, but lambasted SOCOM for them.
Periods, in this case, are your friend. And there are plenty of questions that MGS4 tied up -
The fate of Olga's child?
Who are the Patriots?
How did Liquid come to control Ocelot?
What is Snake's ultimate fate?
MGS3 gave some great backstory, but was by no means a tie up for the series.
Nope. Which is why metacritic is a terrible, terrible thing.
Peace Walker needs to show a few very specific things for me to really be happy about it. And they all involve with rift between Big Boss and you know who.
I agree with RE5, and I'd add a heaping helping of GTA4.
