[sonarus]

hahaha did i miss something where kojima is pronounced kohama?

Haha the dude called out toughName 7min 30secs in the second vid

[skynidas]

lol

[Breakfast]

It's official...im more gangster then a black guy...i did it mom!

This cracked me up...it was a report...give a bubble to Dlacy13g.

"OMG! This so stupidly lame! I hardly say this worthy of being posted as "news". Its a glorified You Tube Video...worse yet its not even one continuous video, guess the cell phone camera is limited to how long it will record. When you see a giant black tarp in the back ground hiding the flea bag apartment a warning sign should go up that this is 3rd rate self promoting crap. Production quality anyone?"

Best report comment of the year.

[potenquatro]

this guy gives real hip hop a bad rep. :)

[AllahAkbar]

this is what happens when you listen to too much hip hop.

[AnSteRiX]

this guy chats more sh*t than my toilet seat.....!!!!
i seriously think that this guy needs to stop actin like a gamer because he gets hostaged! thats jus wrong like as he is the one to hostage otherss...lool
anwyays come to the point...he was leaing more to ps3 than xbox he considered xbox but he was convinced that ps3 is better for him...which u may never know it right or wrong....

[yesah]

RFoM.

[Ace Ventura]

Resistance: FOM was a launch title... a very good one... but still nothing even remotely close to what Resistnace 2 is going to be and Insomniac has said this.(Though it still received over 30 reviews of a 9 and over....also Game Informer gave both Resistance and Gears both a 9.5.... in the same issue... after playing them both side by side.) Though Resistnace is known as a very good franchise I think with R2 it's going to step out from the pack. Insomniac seems to think so.

Resistance 2 vs. Gears 2 will be a lot more fun. They are both going to be HUGE AAA games... I would also like to sprinkle a little Killzone 2 in there and then just end it all with Metal Gear Solid 4, which if you go by the previews of everyone who's played it, is going to be the most amazing, epic, special game ever created. Then some Fable 2 at the end to cure my RPG withdrawal. :D

[skynidas]

Yeah i think that Gears of War 2 vs. Resistance 2 will be more fair, Resistance: Fall of Man was a launch and the guys at Insomniac were getting to know the console, now with Resistance they have the experience of making Resistance Fall of Man and Ratchet and Clank

[TeCh77]

Gears 2 will outsell R2 but R2 will be the better game IMO, especially online. R:FoM kills Gears in the multiplayer dept and that won't change with the sequels.

[LaChance]

give me an officail link where Rockstar confirms GTA5 as a ps3 exclusive.

I dont see them going ps3 exclusive after selling more than 50% of GTA4 copies on the 360.
They wont throw away half their revenue because maybe they cant fit it int a dvd 9. They'll find a way OF COURSE duh ! Its like capcom going ps3 exclusive again with DMC 4 when half or more of the copies were 360 versions.

By the way can any ps3 fanboy PLEASE expain how the 360 gimped GTA4 when its only 6.4 gb while a dvd9 is 8.5gb ?

Geow 2 vs Res 2 is gonna be tight but I dont think anybody ( except for hardcore ps3 fanboys ) think Res 2 will outsell Geow 2 and be better gamplay , graphics etc.

Who's more talented with shooters Epic or Insomniac ?

Which one was the best ? Geow 1 or Res 1 ?

Which game will get more attention
? Geow 2 or Res 2 ?

Which one has more system seller potentielle ? Geow2 or Res 2 ?

I guess we all know the answers

EDIT : after lecture I think my comment sounds quite fanboyish.
In fact what I want is someone to provide a link for all that GTA5 and GTA4 gimped because of 360 nonsense

And do you guys HONESTLY think Res 2 will outperform Geow 2 ?

[skynidas]

What a fanboy

[Ace Ventura]

LOL Insomniac are revered as one of the best developers in the industry. What great, polished, high selling games has Epic made again before Gears of War? Unreal Tournament?

Resistance 2 is going to be really really good. So is Killzone...even though it may come out in early 2009... there are alot of games coming at the end of 2008.

[heyheyhey]

6.4gb was the size for the torrent

the proper disk version is more than that

no i dont think Res 2 will outdo Gears 2, but it will definitley be a great game

Epic or Insomniac? subjective- Epic made Gears and UT which are both great franchises bu aren't very groundbreaking, original OR diverse

Insomniac has made two highly regarded platforming franchises and thrown 2 excellent shooters into the mix

they are both very talented dev companies

GTA 5 might be PS exclusive because of 1) deals with Sony, they have learnt their lesson after MS went around sneaking in deals with R* 2) 360 might be relatively forgotten by that time or a number of other factors

[juuken]

You're an idiot. Rockstar said they were making exclusive, and I repeat EXCLUSIVE games for the PS3.

The well has run dry for you 360 folks. That's what you get for attacking Sony.

And another thing, GTAIV only outsold in the U.K for the 360. We have yet to see the rest of the numbers.

[Homicide]

Reports say that GTA V may be too big for the 360. Personally, I wouldn't like a game like GTA to be multiple discs. Nothing is confirmed yet though.

[egm_hiphopgamer]

how you doing man god bless and thanks for checking out the show. 1st the ps3 isn't confirmed to have gta5 i said that it might be exclusive because dan houser of rockstar said that they want to make there game bigger and games in general are getting more detailed and bigger and 360 don't have blu-ray or a hard drive, also midway said that if ghostbusters was made only on ps3 then they would have double the amount of action on screen but because it' s multiplat they have to hold back for the sake of both systems. also gta4 on ps3 runs a little smoother than on the 360 that came from alot of sources as well. and gears 1 and resistance 1 you can't really compare 1st person to 3rd person but resistance being a day one title compared to a title that came out a year later. resistance has bigger worlds, more weapons, a better explained story, more enemies, 40 player online, better physics, so to me that results in a better game. gears is great as well perfect 3rd person gameplay hands down and as far as system sellers the resistance 2 trailer alone had over 1 million downloads in one day so people are waiting for this game and yes it will be a system seller. resistance 2 vs gears 2 we have to wait and see but resistance 2 has 60 player online, and much more so it's gonna be interesting to see how it all pans out

[InYourMom]

They can't give you an official link because there isn't one.

GTA V will not be exclusive to the PS3, just like their next big project LA Noire is not. If they are struggling so bad they seem to be dealing with it enough to keep on making 360 versions. You cannot deny the 360 userbase if you are a 3rd party developer.

[PSMonster21]

Heres my honest opinion to geow2 vs r2. I think GeoW2 will definately sell more but i think in the end Resistance2 will be the better game. Although the gameplay in both games are very different, not really comparable.

[Pain]

Not even Funny what will happen.

Fact RFOM is is A HELL of A Game and Has A Killer Story.

Gears Just looks Nice Thats about it. But RFOM 2 will Look MUCH Beter.

and lets Not even talk about the Multi-player no point in hurting lil xbots felling anymore on that part lol 5v5 Pay to play Gears2 lol

And after the Huge let down Of what GTA 4 could have been cuz of RROD2.. its a No brainer that they will leave Xbox 2 out of the Next game and Make it What it Can be Only on Playstation 3.

[Ariexv]

It isn't exclusive, the Pstards are jumping to conclusions because of the dvd9 size comment and ignoring where he said they had SEVERAL solutions to the problem. Ps3 doesn't even have LA Noire or Red dead revolver 2 as exclusive anymore. Also Gears 1 DESTROYED Resistance 1 w/ only 4v4 MP while Resistance had 20v20. Quality >>>> Quantity. The first Resistance was generic crap and the 2nd one will be as well. Gears takes R2 and KZ2 at the same time with it's hands behind it's back EASILY.

LOL @ THE POST ABOVE ME. There's a reason Gears 1 MURDERED Resistance 1 in sales and scores by over 10 pts. Gears was an overall better game while Resistance is a generic shooter with a couple cool guns.

[PSMonster21]

Can i have a link that states LA Noire is multiplat?

[JVIDICAN]

i turn to hiphopgamer for all my gaming needs =P

[Ace Ventura]

Epic are more tech-savy, engine creators than good developers... they have never made anything except Unreal and Gears. Even Ratchet and Clank is a 19 million selling franchises now. Maybe 20 million by now.

Resistance was given over 30 AAA reviews. Yes, it did have some low res textures and Insomniac admitted the controls weren't prefect but it was a launch title. It HAD to release with the console.

Resistance 2 is going to have deffered rendering, high res textures... have a MUCH MUCH bigger single player campaign than gears 2... a full seperate 8 player co-op campaign that's just as big and long as the single player mode and then a huge 60 player online mode.... which you can also play smaller 16 or 32 player games.

Resistance 2 is going to look like that teaser we saw. Gears of War 2 is not going to look anything like that.

[InYourMom]

You seem to know a lot of what Resistance 2 will be and a lot of what Gears 2 won't be.

I take it you've played both? Or are you just reading the internet and then making claims?

Let's go with reality and look at what has actually happened. Gears 1 looked, played, sold and scored better than RFOM. That is all we KNOW vs what your fanboy brain thinks from seeing 15sec of non-gameplay footage.

[Deadman64]

how does it feel to get owned by inyourmom?

[Martini]

WTF was this ??? this guy don't know nothin...

[heyheyhey]

but...... hes hippity-hoppity

[egm_hiphopgamer]

you said i don't know nothing but what reasons do you have to support that statement. Please list them because what i'm saying is true please tell me what i'm lying about also most of all thanks for the comments whether you like the show or not thanks for giving it a chance anyway just by viewing it ok man take care

[toughNAME]

but since I'm banned for 2 more days...this will have to do :D

Incase you missed it, I did get called out at the 7 and half minute mark on the second video. I had 2 minutes dedicated to me...and I thought it was fcukin hilarious!

"Is you mad?!"

lmao, but as funny as it was his counter arguments were based on sales...I clearly said in that article that I would not be talking sales.

I almost hope that I am wrong about the games I said would flop and possibly flop. I'm a gamer and the more good games there are the more time I have to waste my life away and burn my eyes out :)

SliceGaming will NOT be countering this...blog?

Even though the N4G community doesn't like it, expect more PS3 articles in the future (negative and positive).

I'll be back in the GamerZone in 2 more days!

[egm_hiphopgamer]

toughname was up man how you doing my psnid: is HIPHOPGAMER3 and on the real truthfully it's all fun and games to me man i love games just like you and i respect your opinion to man. i don't have any problems with you if that's what you were thinking i'm just letting you know that i'm watching everything that's going on and what people are saying and at the end of the day if you have ps3, 360 or both like myself get the games play them enjoy them and that's it but it's fun to see who's gonna win, or what's better, that's what keeps journalism exciting and the industry exciting as well. so much love to what your doing and we need to talk sometimes man for real. also about my hiphopgamershow there's people that love it and there's people that may not like it as much but i tell you one thing it's gotton over 100 thousand views in less than 6 months and it's only getting better so please continue to watch the show and i'm gonna continue to read your articles man god bless keep in touch peace

[jones smokey]

this guy makes me laugh, i watched the thing not because of the news buthow he was actinig...and hes eyes keepet moving away from the camera with is abovious he is nervous.....hahahahahahahahaha ha =()

[egm_hiphopgamer]

dog trust me i'm not nervous i have a little guideline that i follow so sometimes i have to look at to keep on point you know so that's just me being real but thank you for the comment and truthfully i'm a try to keep my eyes more focused cause i want my show to be even more professional as far as how i interact with the camera aight so take ite easy peace

[solidt12]

Pretty good show, but update your music man.

[egm_hiphopgamer]

thanks for watching the show as far as the music i like to play good music period if it's old school or new school if it's hot it's hot and that's what i play for my backgrounds you know

[Fox Jeffworthy]

to watch compared to the 'official' ones.

[egm_hiphopgamer]

thanks for the support and even though i may not be official yet as far as having my own tv show when i do get my show off the ground in a big way lord willing i think you guys would really like it

[Bathyj]

Hey, leave Bladestar alone guys, at least he's trying. Man is he trying...

[Ovidius]

Wow...?

[Surfman]

who approved this

[gnothe1]

is this guy serious. i cant believe i watched all of those videos but this guy is CLEARLY in favor of the PS3. he tries to sound neutral but in his own little fanboy way!! funny!!!

[egm_hiphopgamer]

yes your right i do like the ps3 better and everyone that watches my show knows that. but i'm not biased i'll tell you when ps3 mess up like taking rumble out of the controller that wasn't smart but thank god it's back, delaying home alot but i'm glad they are gonna release it when it's ready instead of rushing it, talking about things before they are ready gets me sick but on the 360 side that's a great system too man i got both dog but to me 360 breaks a lot,it doesn't have blu-ray, and i don't feel it's a future proof system like ps3 is. 360 do alot of things well such as xbox live which is incredible, also they have great games as well. so like i said i'm not biased at all but i do feel ps3 is better because of various reasons

[specialguest]

Pretty entertaining and opinionated. Keep it up hiphopgamer!

[egm_hiphopgamer]

thanks for the support man and god bless

[Zolin]

lol great videos

[DFresh]

Everything this guy is saying is right.
PS3 has the better potential and technology to become the best console ever.
I still can't believe the only thing holding people back from buying a PS3 is the price.
Resistance 2 pwns Gears of War2.
I don't really care cuz I'll own both.
Gears of War 2 for my PC and Resistance 2 obviously for my PS3.
It's true though Microsoft better find some way to make more space on their console or else they are not going to compete this generation at least from using space in games.
Motorstorm 2 is gonna be insane true AAA title and probably the best racing game ever created next to Gran Turismo.
GTA V I believe is gonna be a PS3 Exclusive considering the PS3 is more profitable in the long run and it has sold more world wide than the 360 version.
Iron Man demo was fun I like everything except the cut scenes everything else however was great.
Metal Gear Solid Online is hella fun and I can't wait till June to pick up the limited edition of MGS4.
360 is the now PS3 is the future!

[Ariexv]

It sold more worldwide? Really do you have any links for that? So far we have 360 winning in the U.S by 2:1, and UK 3:2 and the margin is GROWING since the first day.

[clintos59]

I actually thought he brang up some very valuable points in his reviews and only people I can see disagreeing with him are people who only own an xbox 360.
Give the dude credit, he owns both systems and nails it down to honest opinions of sum1 who aint biased. As u can see he never said nuttin bad about the 360, all he was pointing out is if third party devs did take advantage of the ps3 and didnt try an hold back because of the lack of 360's no hard drive in every system, no bluray built in the 360 for games like the ps3 and things like that, u would see alot better games being built. I totally agree with him on most of his point of views and he isnt the only one that thinks resistance is better then gears of war, I am another. RFOM as a whole game and what it has to offer in single player and online is better then gears of war. Anyone who says not please prove me wrong with true facts. My fact is GEOW won GOTY only because nintendo wii and ps3 just launched at the same time with GEOW's release so what does that mean? Yes GEOW had no competition, and lets see or GEOW 2 can take GOTY again this time around with titles like GTA4, MGS4, Fallout, Killzone 2, Resistance 2, Spore, Little Big Planet, and other few big titles I may left out. There is my facts why GEOW got GOTY that year and its the truth, there was just no competition out at the time.

[WildArmed]

Im not saying that GOEW didnt deserve the GOTY. I loved the game, but the online.... lets just say it wasnt the best.*cough*lag*cough* Never finished 1 game.
But the single player was AMAZING! He does bring up valid points... at some times RFOM had alot more enemies in the screen at once then GOEW. But GOEW's cover system rocked..
The only competition GEOW had that year was in the X360 system itself... and GEOW having the best graphics out of all the 360 games, let it fly to the top.

[Leon_Blu]

This show was actually very good ! Bubbles for you man, post more shows im deffo gonna check it out. Seems like the guy knows alot of stuff about whats buzzin in the industry.

Leon from Norway.

[Bad_Karma]

Show was cool and was great to see some "down to earth " dude presenting for a change. It may not have the flashy studio that cuts from presenter to game footage etc etc but the guy did the job and pretty much new his stuff ... i deffo gonna be watching this show again.

[Martini]

Not news worthy and not very well done (lame) IMO.

[bootsielon]

"1 - can somebody
give me an officail link where Rockstar confirms GTA5 as a ps3 exclusive."

THat's your job, dipsh1t. Sam Houser simply said GTAV would be too big for 360. That doesn't mean it will be PS3 exclusive, perhaps Xbox 720 will get some leftovers.

"I dont see them going ps3 exclusive after selling more than 50% of GTA4 copies on the 360."

Uh, the game barely came out four days ago. It has pushed tons of PS3s, had it come out exclusively on PS3 most people that bought 360s for just that game would have gotten a PS3 instead, and some that had a 360 before GTAIV came out would have gotten a PS3 just for that game. Rockstar doesn't need to make the game multiplatform, they could have made even more profit by going PS3 exclusive by focusing on just one platform instead of wasting time on the Gimped 360 version. Take Two even wanted to make it a PS3 exclusive, but Sony adviced them to take the 50 million monies instead.

"They wont throw away half their revenue because maybe they cant fit it int a dvd 9."

No they won't throw revenue, they'll simply increase their profit.

" They'll find a way OF COURSE duh !"

Stupidest claim ever.

"Its like capcom going ps3 exclusive again with DMC 4 when half or more of the copies were 360 versions."

DMC4 had a higher attach rate on PS3, dipsh1t.

"By the way can any ps3 fanboy PLEASE expain how the 360 gimped GTA4 when its only 6.4 gb while a dvd9 is 8.5gb ?"

It's called ZIP FILES, sh1t stain.

"Geow 2 vs Res 2 is gonna be tight but I dont think anybody ( except for hardcore ps3 fanboys ) think Res 2 will outsell Geow 2 and be better gamplay , graphics etc."

The road goes both ways, dumbass.

"Who's more talented with shooters Epic or Insomniac ?"

The question is: Who's a more talented developer? Insomniac has developed adventure games, 3rd person action games, platformers, puzzle games, and shooters. Epic has just developed... shooters. Unreal Engine is a very limited multiplatform engine, Insomniac's engine is way more capable considering it's exclusive to one machine. Sorry to disappoint you.

"Which one was the best ? Geow 1 or Res 1 ?"

Isn't that subjective? Wasn't Res 1 rushed out of the gates to come out with the PS3, while Geow 1 came out a whole year after the 360 launched? The dev kits for 360 were out earlier, and it's a conventional architecture.

"Which game will get more attention"

That's something to be seen, la sheep.
? Geow 2 or Res 2 ?

Which one has more system seller potentielle ? Geow2 or Res 2 ?

I guess we all know the answers

EDIT : after lecture I think my comment sounds quite fanboyish.
In fact what I want is someone to provide a link for all that GTA5 and GTA4 gimped because of 360 nonsense

And do you guys HONESTLY think Res 2 will outperform Geow 2 ?

[Ariexv]

For the size issue they said a sentence later they had several ways to get around the problem, also Ps3 dev kits were given out far far before launch and only a couple months after the 360 dev kits. Also you're delusional if you think Sony would advise them to do that, GTA exclusivity would have won the console war for them. They went Multi-Platform because they knew 360 would sell more copies, and either console sells 10x more then enough copies to make a profit from developing for that console.... if anything though they'd go 360 exclusive if they wanted more profit since it's cheaper to develop for and it has twice as many sales.

[Threydor]

Error establishing a database connection

[M3RCUTIO]

I admire hiphopgamer's courage in putting himself out there like this. It takes a lot to step in front of a camera and lay one's opinion down on the line for dissection by every Joe Schmo on the interwebs.

Still, doing so also opens you up to the opinions of others. So here are few pointers for you. I'll be honest, I stopped watching it early on. While the presentation wasn't necessarily to my liking, I understand that I am most likely not your target audience, so I wouldn't expect you to change such a core element.

However, the real reason I stopped watching is because you lost a lot of credibility when you pronounced LA Noir as "LA Nora", when it's pronounced "LA Nwar". A minor oversight, but it really bugged me. Next, when you moved on to the subject of GTA V you cited comments made by Dan Houser. I'm not sure who Dan Houser is, but Sam Houser is the co-founder and President of Rockstar Games. I'm sure that's who you meant to mention, but if you aren't getting your facts straight, I can't buy in to the rumors you're bringing to your show.

I just figured I'd post some feedback for you. I dunno that I'll tune in for your show on a regular basis, but I didn't want to just flame you. Stick with it. Good luck.

[The Lazy One]

don't do it in front of a black tarp. if you must hang something, use a white sheet or something that won't look as much like you nailed a tarp to a wall.

And practice more. You could probably cut out 25% of the time if you practiced on your delivery.

Also, I don't care about you, I care about games. Voiceovers will do you better in the long run. Get some gameplay movies off the internet or video capture some, go into moviemaker (free) and do ur show that way.

[Rhezin]

WERD.

[tony]

wack!

[LinuxGuru]

Hiphopgamer?

WTF ?

Are you serious?

lol...

[HerBieScrogg]

20 gig hard drive is goin to be obsolete by the time GTA V comes out...250gig, and 500gigs coming soon. I upgraded to the 120 gig....i think it will be a mandatory download like the ps3 or it maybe downloadable only off XBL...no physical copies for the XBOX360......Besides GTA4 on XBox is out selling the ps3 2 to 1...why lose out on millions.(hundreds of millions at that)

[LinuxGuru]

Not it's not.

Do you have any IDEA how many 360 owners Rockstar would have to screw over because they don't have a hard drive?

Think again, pal. You aren't the entire install base for 360. There's people who DON'T have a 120GB, or even a **20** GB hard drive.

SO yeah...you're more than a little wrong there.

[LinuxGuru]

I find that I enjoy Insomniac's creative taste more than Epic's.

The story, weapons, and enemies all seemed more interesting to me.

And, there's usually a LOT more going on at one time, too.

[LinuxGuru]

But, I did like Gears of War still. You bastards can't call me a fanboy, because even though I own a PS3, I still have a Gears of War POSTER on my wall.

lol

[599 US Dollars]

lmfao @ this stupid u know what. what a sony of a black man. "ZOMG MGO beta, yo dawg, u can switch camera...JUST LIKE UNFARTED!" ( I think he means like GRAW over two years ago), "OMG then look at this guy launch out into the air WOAHH!!!!" (u mean, like the man canons in halo? LOL) "YO DAWG THIS IS RED VERSUS BLUE. SONY RULES!" (really? do i even have to say anything? LMAO)

Wow. and this was from just watching 15 seconds of ONE of the videos. his stupidity personifies every sony droid in here: MORONS.

lol and then this stupid black asshole FANBOY tried showing gears off on the easiest mode on the intro level LOL. nice try. Gears f*cking destroys Constipation and gears 2 will do it again. Suck it.

"zomg u can shoot pots and boxes in Constipation. IT OWNZ GEARS" lolol ok. we believe u.

[LinuxGuru]

We all know you really really really really really really really really really really like the Xbox 360.

There's really no need for you to prove that for us over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over using the same derogatory BS over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over.

[PSMonster21]

WTF, did you just say? I understood none of it. Please reread your post and tell yourself that you are a complete idiot.

[MUNKYPOO]

i thought he was real informative and fun to watch. he also reminds me of denzel washington. i also thought it was funny that he called out toughname. maybe on his next review he could say my name for the hell of it

[clrlite]

I tried to watch your video using the above link but the videos didn't load. However, I did manage to find it on YOUTUBE. Although I could find a lot of things that didn't seem exactly professionsal(true, some things could be fixed and refined). I did enjoy watching your game play and give your commentary and analysis. DONT LET OTHER PEOPLE TELL YOU HOW TO DO YOUR SHOW. There are a lot of unenlightened people that think productions are supposed to run a certain way so that they can fit into the mainstream criteria. What makes your show interesting is that you did it YOUR way and i liked how there was a lot of gameplay footage. I like how you just be your self and analyze the game as YOU percieve it. Don't let peoples negativity bring you down EVER and keep being yourself. That's what the future is anyway. Maybe the neophytes will catch on eventually haha. BTW, Resistance2 is going to blow us away AHA It is going to be CRAZY!

-One more thing. I wouldn't say he's a fanboy, or biased, that is just rediculous. The term biased has many negative connotations. He is just voicing his opinion, commentary, and analysis. Dont let opinionated wanna be knowitalls use their little "words" to bring you down.

hit me up @ [email protected] or my myspace www.myspace.com/danfromearth for some opinions or maybe collaboration. later and bless. Any of you other blokes have anything to say you contact me also.
