PlayStation LifeStyle stumbled upon information that should have Madden fans excited. After not getting a Madden demo last year, PS3 gamers will be happy this Thursday, July 31, when they fire up their PS3 to find a demo of this year's Madden available.
[Update: Apparently to cut down on the size of the demo, it will not include audio commentary.]
EA confirmed the news of the demo to PlayStation LifeStyle. Read the full article to find out which modes and options are included.
Luke looks at the most influential features of Madden on the PS3 and Xbox 360.
If you're an Xbox Live subscriber, then you're no doubt familiar with the GamerScore that's associated with your GamerTag. It's a way to notify players that you're quite good at a game, as you unlock points for completing certain tasks within it. But let's be honest, some games are beasts when it comes to earning points, and you'd rather let your score do the talking over your actual skills.
I remember when the Simpsons game released, the Start Achievement was funny. Now, looking back, it seems lazy. Hah.
I clicked on this article for the sole purpose of making sure The Simpson's "press start" achievement was included. If it weren't, the article would have no merit whatsoever.
Many gamers consider a console dead as soon as its successor hits store shelves. While it's true that the release schedule takes a massive hit when this happens, there are always a handful of titles that arrive late to the party. Take a look at the final games released for some of gaming's biggest consoles.
No real gamer would consider a console dead just because it's successor was released. I still buy and play NES, SNES and Genesis carts regularly. Even though I have a PS3 and Wii hooked up to my entertainment center, I also keep a PS2 hooked up which I still game on quite regularly. This is also why real gamers want backward compatibility.
Anyone who considers a console dead just because it's successor came out is gaming for the wrong reason.
I regret selling or giving away my Master System, Mega Drive, Sega CD, that 32 bits adapter and PS1. I had so many good original games in perfect state.
Only console I still have is a PS2 and PS3.
"Dead consoles" is only a label from the media. Its only natural that companys move on to a new generation for income stream and technology advancement.
What's with all of the disagrees on the comments in here? Are there gamers seriously THAT stupid to think that a new console means the previous one is dead? I mean, I knew that there are some people on this site that make a fly look like Einstein, but come on...
With that said, I played my Atari 2600 right until I lost the plug that let me play it on my TV. I still play my NES, SNES, and PS1 games regularly. I still play my PS2 here and there, too. These consoles aren't dead as long as there's content continuously coming out for them (homebrew counts, of course) and when there's still an 'audience' for these consoles. That's not to say that they're still as profitable as the new consoles, of course, but they aren't dead.
This is the first Madden i'm actually looking forward to in YEARS! Can't wait to see it at 60FPS on the PS3!
P.S. WHY DO MY BEARS HAVE ONLY TWO QBS ON THE FREAKING ROSTER??? WE HAVE UNDRAFTED FREE AGENTS LIKE CALEB HANIE TOO!!!
Yeah, okay my Bears are in for a bad year offensively. Hester better score 20 TD return and the D better be good to go for only 3.3 points against per game, lol.
hopefully, EA has put all their troubles (and excuses) behind them.
Might be my first Madden since the demise of NFL2K ... we'll see
Hopefully they'll be changing that cover art to Farve in a Jets jersey. Maybe then it won't be such a handicap when I used them online.
Favre really shouldnt come back for another year. He is on the front cover. Read the signs Favre.
