Madden 09 and Facebreaker demos are out. Good thing I have a 360 today.

BOOM I feel like Barry Sanders in the gridiron tutorial!

somethingSQUISHY5766d ago

...such as "wrap-up/break-out tackles, user controlled celebrations, etc." Those sound somewhat familiar from someone who has spent some time with All-Pro Football 2K8. However, it looks like Madden is finally going to take some real steps forward. This may be the first of the series I'll seriously consider since Madden 98 on my SNES.

Snukadaman5766d ago

and see if there are any problems jumping up....anyone who is interested in madden should do the same....give it a week to be sure.

rbanke5766d ago

rbanke5766d ago

I jump on grab the demo, it's about 20% done now and then I go over to the main page and there is an advertisement saying how the Madden demo will be here in 2 days.

By the way Mike i didn't think you were getting Madden this year?

mikeslemonade5766d ago (Edited 5766d ago )

I'm going to rent it for a month most likely. I think for 2010 they're going to revamp the engine.

By the way anyone here interested in a N4G fantasy football league? Private message me if your interested and I will give you details.

Grown Folks Talk5766d ago

it's not the same 1 I already have. Probably not. Pros over NCAA. X to switch packages instead of right stick. Playcalling seems a little smoother overall. Hopefully full customization of controls. Considering the collector's edition for a change because I want Head Coach. Saves about $30 that way.

Grown Folks Talk5766d ago (Edited 5766d ago )

Only difference is Madden narrates the test instead of the other guy, the test is a little smoother, & you use r/l bumper to switch packages instead of X. I hope the DBs don't react that slowly when you try to deflect or catch a ball in the real game. Only the Giant's Madden Moment. At least give us the same crappy 2 minute quarters we're used to.

G_Hartley_5766d ago

why has the guy posted this in the ps3 section when it isnt even out yet. NERD, i check on both UK And USA stores but no changes

TheExecutive5766d ago

Yeah the psstore never updates until mid afternoon to evening on thursdays, so dont ever expect anything until then.

apoc6155766d ago (Edited 5766d ago )

Everyone knows the PSN store doesnt update in the US until late afternoon central time on thursdays.If you would read the whole thing it said Multi platform not PS3...

Achievement Hunter: The Ten Easiest Achievements Ever

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.

BLAKHOODe4200d ago

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.

Last Stand: The Final Games Of The Biggest Consoles

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.

Backwards compatibility hold a console back from its true potential by having the manufacturers spend money on including hardware to emulate past consoles instead of spending it on better hardware to improve the potential of games and reduce limitations for developers. That's why people should keep their old consoles if they want to play older games.

Rageanitus4427d ago

I'm a gamer but there are something you have to let go. I played too many games but I do want progression.

For instance I cannot picture myself playing the oringal Doom anymore. There are better things out there nowadays.

If I wanted to play things for nostalgic purposes even though its illegal I would pirated the game and play on an emulator... but I find that a wast of time :)

MostJadedGamer4427d ago (Edited 4427d ago )

I don't consider a console dead when its successor comes out, but I do consider a console dead when the only thing released on it is Next Gen ports(like sports games). As long as it is still getting something other then downgraded ports then it is still alive.

Of course their is a big gray area when a console is dying, but is not yet dead. So things can get kind of muddled.

By the way I do NOT keep old consoles. I currently only own a PS3, and that is all. I don't have any desire to play old games.

MysticStrummer4427d ago

Ahhh another amendment to the Real Gamer Manifesto. I game on one console at a time, so as soon as I buy a new one I pay no more attention to the old one except to look back fondly. People game because they enjoy it, either alone or in competition/cooperation. You don't have to buy games for multiple platforms to be doing it "right".

banjadude4427d ago

You and me both, Derpy!

I actually have a notepad file on my desktop, of all the games I still need to buy for all my previous gen games (don't forget, I was still young when the SNES, PS1, etc came out, so I never had the money to get the games i wanted).

neogeo4427d ago

I still play my Apple Pippen every day and buy all the classic games..........

SilentNegotiator4427d ago

I still pull my Atari Jaguar out of my sawed off shotgun pocket and give it a play once in a while. But I have to remember never to take it out while in a bank - My first Jaguar is still in an evidence locker.

rhap4427d ago

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.

tacosRcool4427d ago

I still have my Sega Genesis, Sega Saturn, N64, PSP, PS2 (original and slim), and PS3. I will prolly never sell them. At least my brother still plays the N64, classics are classics.

Rageanitus4427d ago

mmm I got rid of all my games on my ps2. now it collecting dust. The only things I found worhthy of keeping was gt4, god of war, and gradius.

But we have gt5 and god of war remakes on the ps3 so it aint that bad.

tweet754427d ago

"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.

mynameisEvil4427d ago

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.

Rageanitus4427d ago

It ain't dead when the next gen comes out.... but one thing for sure is we will be seeing less and less support as the newer console matures.....

Some ppl move on faster than others ;)
