No, the Development Studios *have* their shiat together. They are making world-class AAA titles for Xbox 360 and they are selling like hot-cakes.
*SONY* needs to get their shiat together. The development environment and architecture of the PS3 is broken. And the delay's are Sony's fault for delivering a poor design.
Huh? The industry has embraced the Xbox 360, and it is pulling away like a corvette in a dragrace with a Yugo.
What are you talking about? 2007 will be the biggest year for the game industry in history, and the Xbox 360 is responsible for over 50% of the entire industry revenue.
Give your head a shake. The PLAYSTAION 3 is still born, it isnt ready for anything.
Mark-my-words, BR is a boat anchor and will be the final attempt by Sony RIAA and Son...
"Only Xbox 360 provides developers with the platform and tools they need to produce true next generation titles"
This is 100% correct. We have developer after developer saying this. This is not a new, unique or strange idea. It has been said by Ubisoft, Carmack @ iD, EA and on and on.
The Playstation 3 has a terrible design for development, and the toolchain is crap -- compared to the Xbox 360. There is no doubt about it.
What does th...
"xbox live is the best thing since sliced bread, trust me, its not."
Yes, it is. Do you have cross-game friends? Game invites? messaging, gamerscore, truranking?
"and I never paid for it"
Who do you think was paying for those dedicated servers? If the studio paid for them, you werent gauranteed they'd stay running. If a game sold poorly, the server support disappears. Further, Private Parties -- clans -- were paying for ...
"either this is fake news or Midway is a bunch of idiots just trying to stir trouble up"
How can someone say something so monumentally stupid and get 5 Agrees and 0 Disagrees?
What is wrong with you people? Did you RTFA? It is *Midway* confirming this. So, no, its not "fake news".
And, why on the fcuking earth would Midway spend money making a game only to PURPOSELY try and "stir up trouble"?
For some...
Well the gameing industry disagrees with you three PS3-circle-jerkers.
Both Gears of War and Halo 3 have better metacritic scores, have vastly greater sales, and piles more people play.
So, gamers think you are wrong, and the game journalists think you are wrong.
You three are living in a dream world.
"imo exclusives are just a little bit better on ps3 JUST A LITTLE imo "
If "IMO" doesnt mean you are entitled to your own set of facts. Even a cursory glance at metacritic you learn that is total BS.
Will you Sony fans say _ANYTHING_ to apologize for the drivel being shipped onto the PS3?
Goto Metacritic and look at the scores for exclusive Xbox 360 games -- and then look at the exclusive PS3 games.
You're opinio...
@sonarus.
No, this would have nothing to do with the rendering and physics engine.
What this probably has to do is the underlying PSN and memory issues in the PS3.
in order to have cross-game chat, or matchmaking, you have to load libraries into the game. Those libraries take up memory.
The Sony libraries are massive compared to the Xbox 360 version. After they loaded all the supporting-libraries into memory, perhaps the ran out of...
Most games are shipping with Mulitplayer these days. A game like Bioshock might get away without it, but I imagine Studios, Publishers and MS are seeing how much value people get out of their online play and are asking for it more often.
Heck, look at XBLA. Many of the games there have Multiplayer and/or CoOp. Look at Wednesday's Battlestar Galactica. For a couple bucks you get a multiplayer game (the demo rocked).
I think the LIVE network, and the developmen...
Care to elaborate instead of dropping troll turds?
I concur. Have they announced a release date yet?
It looks great, and from the earlier gameplay video, I cant wait to see these characters move.
Who thought of the title? ArsTechnica, one of the most respected general tech sites on the internet.
Perhaps you'd read the article for making stupid comments.
Who wants to edit video on an arcade console? That is what Personal Computers are for -- and they do it vastly better, for less money.
What a waste of time.
Hey, first off, "....mag lev" is redundant. Please skip it tool.
Secondly, your apologies for Sony's terrible design doesnt hold water. You've all run out of excuses. Now the problem is UE3.
Perhaps you missed all that the -PS3- version is being delayed, cleary the problem is the PS3. Does Assassins Creed run on UE3? no. The devs have complained about PS3. How about the bad framerates on Madden? UE3? Nope.
How about the Ratchet &a...
From the fantasy land that most N4G forum members live:
"Another day, another group of lazy, disloyal developers trying to screw-over the PS3.."
Right, its all just those stupid developers being lazy right...
/sarcasm.
Sony designed a terrible machine. Face it. A good design would mean that developers would be able to use it.
Microsoft considers developers customers (good thinking eh!?) and designed the system with the ability for the Devs to be able to create with it.
@1.2:
"why is a supposedly more powerful console"
Supposedly is the operative word there. The two machines are roughly equal powered, inspite of Sony's usual space-age-4D BS marketing.
What did IGN's hardware comparison conclude?
"CONCLUSION: When you break down the numbers, Xbox 360 has provably more performance than PS3. Keep in mind that Sony has a track record of over promising and under delivering on technical pe...
"the biggest game" on the 360 killed consoles and came with scratched discs "
A small number gets discs dislodged from their cases at retail - thats just a stupid thing to suggest MS is responsible for. It says nothing about the game itself.
Secondly, a video game cannot "kill a console" if it doesnt update the fcuking machine.
The machine is "game agnostic" -- no "game kills a console".
...
"Over 9?"
According to Metacritic, the combined score is 9.0 / 10.
Not "over 9". But 9.
Microsoft's superior online toolkit delivers Virtua Fighter 5 with exclusive online gameplay.
Paying $3.30 per month is nothing when you see how MS is driving exclusive online gameplay into every game.
If you're playing against AI, by yourself on Wii or PS3; I feel sorry for you. Almost every Xbox 360 game's *real* extended value is in the online play. Every game has chat. Cross game invitations. And on and on.
I loved the Virtua Fighter 5 demo...
