I predict a franchise with a track record of strong sales will sell well when the next instalment is released. Now gimme my paycheck.
@ Saaking, GT5 has been continually delayed to the point of stupidity. I hope it makes the fall period but don't be surprise if it gets moved to early 2011.
The Mandatory Install issue is not as common as it used to be. More Devs are figuring out how to get around this as they understand the hardware more.
The issue is DVD space vs. Blu-Ray space. It will eventually become an issue, right now it's only just starting to emerge so naturally it is being blown out of proportion.
But sooner or later it will become a problem for some Devs. Take Lost Planet 2 as an example, Capcom et al have already said they had to trim lots o...
YDL & Ubuntu for PS3 were cool ideas but no GPU access meant you were limited to browsing and office style tasks.
Then PS3 slim removed the other OS option altogether, it's no surprise to see what was a philanthropic feature be removed completely.
Now please add updated divx support so native MKV support is added, that was the major draw towards the other OS support anyway.
....0.1 scoring difference. Whoever can't sleep at night over this should seek help immediately!!
MAG is trying to be something other than a by the numbers FPS so constant communications are essential.
However not shipping with a headset or at least warning on the box "headset" required is a dumb move.
The decision was most likely due to seeing no communication in lots of games with "everyone for themselves" play ensuing.
Dear Sony,
After much hard work, we the Pirates have finally cracked the PS3 conundrum.
Check this out, we can know run a highly limited number of games on the old iteration of PS3 hardware.
Even better is the all of these games (including PES 2008 & Motorstorm 1) have to be run of our own flakeware which replaces your own latest firmware. Nice Huh.
We believe that our extremely laborious workaround for play games released during the fi...
It simply takes existing games in the same space i.e. Devil May Cry, Ninja Gaiden, God Of War takes the best of the lot and adds it's own spin on it.
So in short a great remix of well received games of recent times. That's what alot of games are nowadays so if that's your bag then that's the reason why Bayonetta has been getting well hyped by the powers the be.
Halo is a great game but why is there this belief that they "fixed" console controls for FPS.
There were a number of FPS's previous gens that did just fine e.g. Goldeneye, Timesplitters and so on.
Halo certainly mainstreamed FPS's on consoles allowing for an endless slew of mediocre FPS's to follow with the occasional good, one although it was more a case of right place at the right time.
...nuff said
Probably never played PS3.
Right now PS3 is the hottest console on the market. Roaring sales, new look and top games on the horizon.
Valve are full of themselves and love to come up with new excuses.
"It's too hard to code for PS3" "The community isn't there" Wah Wah Wah.
Just come clean, you aren't a big enough company to handle dev for another platform, you don't have the resources.
nailed it. Sounds like I was reading an article from 2007/8
Maybe gamingbolt just came out of cryo-stasis and forgot it was almost 2010.
....still alot cheaper to buy the UMD's. This is becoming another embarrassment for Sony. They finally get the PS3 in a strong position and decide to release more handicapped-at-launch hardware. I swear Sony must love the hardship of trying to get things back on track.
Given the no-UMD-trade-in, the new USB cables (that is disgusting), the new memory standard etc they should have added a 2nd analog stick and made this a new portable platform.
Sony call it the PlayS...
Well? Would an 8 make people not buy the game? If I did not know about Uncharted and saw an 8/10 it would get my attention not lose it.
And if general reviews are in the 9's then an 8 is not a crazy score it's on the money. A 5 or a 6 would be a different story.
If Uncharted 2's biggest failure was being no better than the first would it be a bad thing?
The word lag is used because in all likelihood, PES10's online mode will be gimped out of the box just like 08 & 09 were.
PES08 was pretty much the worst current gen experience online and was NEVER fixed and PES09 was not much better.
In the meantime FIFA is managing to offer 10v10 online with minimal lag. Konami are playing catch up at this point sadly.
That being said nothing would make me happier that seeing PES return to glory. It's just unlikel...
....it discriminates against Zombies. Valve should be ashamed, Zombies have feelings too y'know.
Well....ahem....turns out they don't.
1. Netbooks aren't the world - Perhaps not but Apple with a far smaller marketshare in PC's still frequently upstage Microsoft in a number of areas. Even if Netbooks attained only a 10% Market share over time it would be worthy of Googles time. Then there are the dual booters on top of that.
2. Microsoft can shoot to kill - Absolutely not true. If it were MS would have shot Google way before they became the global search king. MS have strength and domination in the OS area but Google ar...
..Xbox owners feel about their Live service and how PS3 owners feel about PSN. Comparing the two is rather fruitless.
Thanks. The mobile browser is very slick although the omission of flash etc is quite inexcusable.
The applications are the lifeblood of the iPhone now and I can't see anyone coming close to their inventory of choices anytime soon.
.....once they patched for trophies if you had earned $1m or $1bn you could not earn the trophies associated with this amount. Also Pandemic worked hard to cover this up by either deleted forum posts on their own forums or plain denying it happened. Very bad at community management.
GOW3 is undoubtably an awesome game given the 9+ scoring across the board. But to assign a game that you've never played before at least a 9.6 doesn't achieve anything.
If anyone thinks 9.3 is a bad score ask Santa Monica studio for their reaction, I bet they'll be delighted with the great scores.
As for everyone whining about Bayonetta's 9.5 and MW2 10 for visuals they are just opinions.
GOW3 won't reinvent the franchise just provide us with more of th...
