Agreed. I dont care much for the setting / story in the DMC world. Doenst directly appeal to me.
I much prefer a SciFi setting. Even better is a dystopian Sci-Fi world like Mad Max, A Boy and his Dog, nausicaa of the valley of the Wind or Blade Runner.
Have a look at the lighting effects, and the model textures. The game *LOOKS* great.
That wont make the game great all by itself. But, but from hands-on reviews, many people say it is shaping to be a great game.
Lets see what the reviewers say, and until we play the Demo or perhaps play it ourselves.
Do you own a console?
Because if you didnt buy one for BioShock, Mass Effect or Gears of War -- the three best games of the last 2-3 years, than you clearly dont play videogames.
Do you know how many Game of the Year awards these three titles earned?
Please, if you want to troll, do it in the Open Zone.
What negativity?
You mean the negativity here on N4G with *anything* related to Xbox 360?
Thats not reality.
The PS3 was late, the Xbox 360 wasnt early. Remember, it was Sony who pushed back the release for over 12 months.
The two machines are roughly comparable hardware. It blows my mind that people continue to buy Sony's marketing.
EVERY generation of PS Sony has promised that their product would be some kind of revolution, and had all this hardware-power (Emotion Engine! 4D!). Which is 100% absolute nonsense.
Dont buy the hype, try and read some te...
I'm sure that they can read NDP reports.
You guy sare still trying to paint MSFT as a bad guy here arent you?
You do know that MSFT was involved in helping Nathaniel get that kit from Bungie right?
An executive phone him, then was involved with bungie in putting the pack together.
You still hold this "PS3 is a supercomputer" idea dont you. I can tell. It is not some kind of space-age-blackhole-computatio nal monster.
What you see is what you get. Sony has *always* made these kinds of promises with their consoles, its their marketing & advertising plan... its not reality.
PLEASE get a touch of reality.
The Arcade doesnt have any "problems". Sorry.
All the consoles play all the games. Full stop.
"MGS4 bundle coming up, they're not going to drop"
Sony including MGS4, a brand new game, their most anticipated title into a BUNDLE is a price-drop of sorts.
They are giving up the $50 sale in exchange for new console purchase.
It is a tactical move that accomplishes the price drop, and forces people to buy the $50 title.
It is also a good way for Sony to try and move Konami's title, with the install base lower than they n...
Why do I doubt your seriousness when you write "M$"? Neutral? Think not.
Unlike the Xbox Original, MSFT owns the IP in the CPU/GPU and the rest of the components. They have probably planned the price reductions and cost improvment for the duration of the machine's life.
MSFT has the tiger by the tail, they are going to be able to bring more price improvments and really keep the heat up on Ninty & Sony.
Keep up the good work MSFT.
Guys, this kind of stupid story isnt any good for GAMERS of any kind. Be they PS3 or Xbox 360 owners (PSN or LIVE).
I would like to ask you to set aside the normal flamewars that go on around here. Lets send polite emails to the news director: newsdirector@wlns.com
Explaining that their article was Inaccurate for the following:
* Halo 3 has no video capability, Halo 3 clearly has nothing to do with it.
* Biased against adult gamers
...
Yes, then every kid will lie and say he is over 18. Just as it is now...
"Home will be heavily moderated, and i'm pretty sure that sort of thing won't happen"
Dont bet on that for a second. Are you daft?
Take a look in any 3D avatars based online world -- it always has perverts running around.
@4.1
How do you think Xbox LIVE works?
Halo 3 has no video ability.
And, these kids would have to have *accepted* to view the message -- it was their own poor judgment ("hey, should i watch videos from strangers?") that caused this.
To the HATERS from the Sony Camp, be careful what you're saying about Online Gaming, becuase the PSN version of this idiot story is just around the corner.
Intstead of taking this...
Give it a rest -- there is no more or less* danger to this happening on PSN or Xbox LIVE.
The news report was fcuking retarded and inaccurate.
WTF did Halo 3 have to do with it? There is *NO* video feature to Halo 3.... and that's just for starters.
This story was just a 6'oclock hysteria.
"According to Kojima, it is theoretically impossible to create a game as ambitious as Metal Gear Solid 4. Given recent findings in quantum physics, computer science, and information there, there is simply not enough space, time, or matter in the known Universe to convey his exact ambitions for Metal Gear Solid 4."
HA! Finally, someone "understands" MGS4. Talk about hyperbole.
Makes me lol.
I weep for N4G when I see people so jealously hating on Halo 3.
I agree with you. Im waiting for the industry-press to start to play the game. To see a demo. To get some reports from actual gameplay.
At this point, it looks wonderful, great looking, good gameplay mechanics, and a very inventive story and setting.
I'm pretty excited about it. But, there are another dozen exclusive Xbox 360 games -- and a couple dozen more multi-plats -- that I am keeping my eye on too.
I cant exactly buy everything, but at t...
