Actually, it's a common misconception that NGII was published by Microsoft when it's actually published by Tecmo Koei. I'd assume that there was still some kind of exclusivity contract between MS and TK though. Otherwise, TK wouldn't have had to rename it as Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 on PS3.
Of course it's not gonna rival a PS3's performance. However, the major advantage it has is the resolution it has to display its games at. Since the games don't have to output at standard HD resolutions, more GPU and CPU power can be allotted towards in-game textures and qualities, which would give the illusion that it almost looks as good as a PS3 game.
After getting both the plat with the RPG-7 and Carl G, I think that they're both just as good, really. The splash damage zone isn't all that different between the two and they both killed infantry and vehicles pretty efficiently. Gotta say that the Carl G's speed really helps for choppers though, but nothing an RPG-7 + tracer dart can't match.
You haven't seen any footage of Kaznan Jungle or Blood Gracht, have you?
...in development. Duh.
The car comparison is a bad one to use. It's like putting CFW on a console: you can put in as many superpowered parts in it to make it go 0-150mph in 2 seconds and trick it out with some red-tinted windshields, but it's illegal to take it out on the road and you can only have it in your private possession for display, which is basically like keeping the console with CFW offline.
In other news, the sky is blue during daytime.

There are such magical devices called PCs that can run Linux. Heck, I bet you typed that on one of those newfangled devices.
Hotz's problem here is that he COULD'VE chosen to just keep the master key private and hack his own PS3, or that he COULD'VE just released it anonymously. Instead, he wanted the fame and glory.
As for all of you saying, "Bu-bu-bu-but! This PS3 is MY console! I should be able to do whatever I want with it!"
Well of course it's your own console. You own the physical console and Sony lets you do whatever you want on that end, including ext...
And that's exactly the reason why I was worried for the industry. If a purely casual game consistently stays in the top 10 for months after its release, then devs are gonna take notice of that, and then start to push out similar products...
Go look on Amazon.com right now...
Just Dance 2 just got ousted by a non-Wii single-platform game?
I now have hope for the gaming industry. :-)
Not necessarily. The Move IS used in conjunction with the PS Eye after all, and that's perfectly capable of body tracking.
This is a flashback in Visari's eyes right before the dropping of the nuke on Pyrhhus. It basically explains to you how terrible of a people the Helghast are, with the nuke blast exposing their true nature (person whipping other workers, soldiers pointing guns at women and baby, etc.) The nuke had the ISA symbol on it in order to fool the rest of the Helghans that the ISA had dropped the nuke. The soldier was killed by Radec to keep his mouth shut permanently.
On a side not...
Hmm, I don't think this is the full cinematic. It ends so... abruptly.
Ah well. I'll know for sure come the 22nd. :-)

Like there's much choice for FPS on the 360 too, right? RIGHT!? But seriously though, 2011 = Year of the FPS. Homefront, Crysis 2, Bulletstorm, KZ3, Deus Ex: Human Revolution (iffy, but still an FPS), Brink, Resistance 3. It's just ridiculous.
That's why there's Classic mode.
There will always be a larger casual market than the core market. Up until this generation, gaming wasn't even mainstream. CoD is extremely accessible and gameplay simplistic, consisting of just running around and shoot people. Of course, that simplicity appeals to the casual market very greatly, so they buy it. Then their friends buy it. It's a nasty, endless chain of reaction. Casuals don't really care much about graphics or how glitchy the game is or not, they just want someth...
Why? Well, aside from Kotick and the DLC, the games are rushed piles of poo that are filled with a myriad of exploitable bugs. Not to mention how ridiculously user-friendly it is to the point where I no longer feel like I've accomplished something great after doing it in the game.
That, and it's just not that fun to me. I mean, the sole purpose of the gameplay is to just run around at breakneck speed and either teleport knife whoever you run into or shoot a perfectly...
