Considering its just a demo

and WOW at SSBB

decapitator5961d ago

Yeah that game scored very nicely. If it continues to receive prefect scores all around, it can be a GOTY contender for this year.

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue (PS3, Sony): 8 / 8 / 8 / 7 - (31/40)
Not bad at all, cant wait for this to be released here.

s1lens35961d ago

GT5 Prologue is a game with downloadable content, I don't understand why just they didn't release a full featured game. The score to me is sad, it should have gotten 9's instead of 8's, not a good way to start with a bang.

I'll buy it anyways, need to try that online.

okcomputer5961d ago

Same with me, i'm not a huge racing fan, but I've bought the last few gt games. I won't be buying prologue though. If it were downloadable at 15-20 maybe, but paying almost full price for a demo seems crazy to me.

sonarus5961d ago

so much for near perfect GT Scores

Anego Montoya FTMFW5961d ago

for a BIG DEMO to get better scores than FULL GAMES, thats incredible.

Regret5961d ago

Stop calling it demo. It's almost fully priced.

Anego Montoya FTMFW5961d ago (Edited 5961d ago )

almost a full priced game?

where do you get NEW FULL GAMES for $40?

Is it like Lost oddessy for $60 being a big demo? lol.

GT5= 9s and 10s.

spandexxking5961d ago

if say gt5:p and pgr4 were next to each other in a store, regardless of price i know i would pick up gt5:p. say like ferrari callenge, gt5:p has near enough the same level of content and itl be cheaper. again i know which one i'd pick up

40/40 for Smash... my word they love that game. As far as the demo goes isn't it still just want the full game will be once it comes out? Anyways 31/40 is still a freakin great score

mighty_douche5961d ago

Just another day of Nintendo flicking the bird to their opposition!

And prologue getting score that most complete games dont achieve! thats got to be a good sign!!

Orange5961d ago

too bad they only get around to flipping the bird once every six months or so. i'm almost done with SMG and will have to wait 2 more months for brawl.

KillaManiac5961d ago

Since SMG is out and many people already beating it and trading it into the gamestop i work at, and SSB Brawl coming out in 2 months...what will Nintendo have after that (besides gay Wii Fit for NA).

Well..thinking..theres mario kart also....ummm

whats the next game...hmmm Mario uhhhh Pinball/another Hoops/Mario Soccer/Tennis/Mario MMO?!?/Everybody Loves Mario (a katamario rip off?) Mario Hunter!? (Monster hunter + Mario? OMG SALES THROUGH ROOF!)

Lol...Nintendo and its mario is halarious

But on Topic...SSB i expect to be perfect...amazing idea and fun for everyone...who doesnt wanna beat the hell outa Pikachu with Snake??!?
GT Prol, did amazing for it just being a Big Demo / Normal Racing game besides Forza.

Double-Edged5961d ago

lol..

Weak if this is supposed to be a monster hit.

spandexxking5961d ago (Edited 5961d ago )

you suck! how in anyway does it suck?

VirusE5961d ago (Edited 5961d ago )

Forza 2 was rated higher and it only cost 20 bucks more for 10 times the content. For an american game to out do any GT game demo or not is a big deal. That being said i didn't plan on getting anything but the full version anyway. Why pay 40 for a demo? That is stupid.

Graphics wise Gt5 destroys forza 2 though. The cars look so real it is a bit scary. Lack of a c0ckpit view is also a huge flaw with forza.

KillaManiac5961d ago

Weak? I think the scores are quite good because its cheap and has the content of normal racing games (unfortunately) besides Forza which is quite big, but still nowhere as big as GT when its finished.

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga1d 18h ago (Edited 1d 18h ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow2d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1821d 17h ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie1d 7h ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow1d 7h ago (Edited 1d 7h ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere22h ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow8h ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Cockney3h ago

They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.

RNTody1d 20h ago (Edited 1d 20h ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno1d 19h ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Sheppard7t31d 17h ago

How did Sony kill the series?

Inverno1d 17h ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

1d 2h ago
fsfsxii1d 4h ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno1d 2h ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
