It wasn't the bogus Lair review. That was just the latest in an endless cycle of platform fanboyism at EGM/1Up.
This is great news for the console world, EGM/1Up is a turd on the gaming world's shoe.
Buh bye losers!
Yes, Microsoft is wasting 1.1 billion dollars on Dreamcast 360 owners who can't tell the difference between 3 and 4 lights...
So let's just sum up what this article and submission accomplished:
1) Made the submitter looking like a pathetic fanboy
2) Reminded everyone of what a POS the Dreamcast 360 is
High five!
Looks like Microsoft is once again ripping off Sony!
So, to sum up:
* The game is running better on the PS3 than the 360 according to Epic themselves
* Keyboard and mouse support on the PS3
* Full support for PC generated mods
* Complete game right on a single BluRay disc
* Cross platform play with PC games
* Free to play online for all PS3 and PC players
Versus:
50 dollars every damn year on the Dreamcast 360 ontop of the bas...
Another crappy Dreamcast 360 port.
[X] Gimped disc storage
[X] Crappy online service
[X] Wimpy graphics hardware
Epic is three for three with UT. The gimped 7 gig DVD drive is too small for the game, the crappy online service delayed the game because it couldn't handle pc mods like the PS3 can, and Epic has already confirmed the game is running better on the PS3.
I'm sure Rockstar understands Epic pain of having to work with the POS D...
Microsoft is sounding more and more like they are preparing to exit the console market and go back to focusing on pc gaming...
Obviously console hardware is an area they have no competence in and has done nothing more than waste 7 billion dollars for nothing to show for it.
CliffyB has got to be the most retarded nick in all of gaming.
My god is this guy an idiot. He's like a wannabe John Romero.
Sucks for PS3 owners.
LOL!
* RidgeRacer PS3 version 1080p 60fps vs lowrez 720 for the 360
* Oblivion PS3 had better graphics and faster loading
* Dirt PS3 version has 1080p and better driving controller support and faster loading
* Stranglehold PS3 users get a free HD movie right on the BluRay disc
* Unreal Tournament Epic has already stated the PS3 version is running better than the 360, complete support for pc mods, mouse and keyboard sup...
Six years in the market and Microsoft still doesn't have anything but the same tired old Halo crap.
Poopy last gen looking graphics - How embarrassing it must be to have your company's one 'big game' lose out graphics comparisons with a damn Ubisoft cross platform title
Poopy last gen networking - No dedicated servers, laggy P2P, can only manage 16 players per game
So another console generation is here and a bunch of idiotic Halo fanboys will stand...
Just to put things into perspective, Microsoft is the company that:
* Wasted some 5 billion dollars for a tie for last place last gen
* The Xbox demographic last gen was primarily some 15 million or so US pc gamers
* The Xbox was canned early by Microsoft as it was left in the dust in marketshare with the losses continuing to rack up due to the poorly designed hardware that was roughly twice as expensive to manufacture
* The Dreamcast 360 is selling to VIRT...
Dreamcast 360:
350/450 base unit price
50 dollars a year for being 'allowed' to play games online by Microsoft - adds up to about 250 dollars if you want to play online over the life of the console
100 extra for WiFi
200 HD-DVD player - HD-DVD is dead so no longer really relevant
75-150 bucks for extended warranties - Only RRoD is now covered, disc scratching/drive dying and all the other 360 defects aren't covered for free my Microsoft
"That EGM review sure created some serious negative buzz around Lair!"
That's what Xbots at joke gaming sites like 1Up/EGM do.
Everyone who has played it says it looks insane at 1080p and is incredibly fun to play flying a dragon around in an incredibly detailed and alive world. And the controls are spot on.
A PS3 game that is 1080p and an entire graphics generation ahead of anything on the Xbox must be attacked because it makes a mockery...
"the Xbox 360 seems to have over-taken the PS3."
Yep, that is why the PS3 is outselling the 360 by 2 to 1 worldwide even with a much higher price right now.
The 360 is dead in both Europe and Japan and selling to the exact same group of US gamers who bought the first Xbox.
Microsoft will be lucky to even reach Xbox worldwide numbers by the time they pull the plug on the 360 fiasco.
Lets see Microsoft can say either:
"We are happy with the delay of GTA IV"
or
"OMFG!!! We are spending 50 million to have some extra missions added to the game we bragged about being part of our holiday line up and now our stupid smaller than last gen 7 gig DVD drive is causing developer nightmares and Rockstar is furious they are having to delay GTA six months as they continue to gimp the game down to the level that will work with o...
1. Hire more companies to troll console discussion boards
2. More dopey Halo 3 viral marketing sites
3. Better fake/bogus Unreal Engine 3 marketing shots and racing Photomode shots like they did for Gears of War, PGR, and Forza
4. More informative Major Nelson 'hardware comparisons'
5. Raise the price of online play to 100 bucks a year so everyone knows just how awesome the service is, after all if, as every Xbot will tell you, 'you ...
Gee, let's just sum up:
* The first Xbox was pulled early from the market due to the poorly designed hardware that racked up some 5 billion in losses for Microsoft.
* They rushed a complete POS replacement out the door
* The early models were dying all over the place at store diplays and magazine companies
* Microsoft decided to ignore the problem and ship the defective POS console anyways
* 360 graphics were so bad ev...
"Not to mention the ALLEGED superiority of Assassin's Creed and GTAIV on 360. "
What an idiot.
Go away.
Once again the PS3 gets the definitive/superior version.
PS3 FTW!
RidgeRacer - 1080p 60fp PS3
Oblivion - faster loading, better graphics
Dirt - 1080p, better wheel support
Stranglehold - Free HD movie right on the disc
Unreal Tournament - Runs better on the PS3, total pc mod support, mouse and keyboard, possible pc/PS3 cross play
Burnout - 1080p PS3 version
Don't worry Xbots, you still have Ubisoft putting out cra...
Shut up idiot.
