Gamepro.com Writes:
"Japanese video game magazine Famitsu recently broke the story that Hideo Kojima, father of the Metal Gear series, is already working on two brand-new titles. And to be honest, we're a lot more interested to hear about these secret game projects than anything he's planning on covering in his GDC 2009 Keynote speech about "conquering various development obstacles with creative game design." But then again, we're not game designers."
The first PlayStation is home to an array of iconic video games that went on to define the sheer significance of this console.
I think from a historical perspective I would change Spyro for Grand Turismo. It's the franchise that made the PS1 look like an absolute unit. Other than that, I can't argue with the rest when it comes to games that defined the PS1.
And to be honest, there should be space for Tekken 3, Wipepout and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater in order to round out the PS1 identity as the machine to own at the time.
With Tomb Raider 2, Silent Hill, Symphony of the Night, Tenchu, and Soul Reaver as backup contenders.
Microsoft just posted the third quarter of its 2024 fiscal financial results. The software maker made $61.9 billion in revenue and a net income of $21.9 billion during Q3. Revenue is up 17 percent, and net income has increased by 20 percent.
Xbox content + services up 62% while hardware down 31%... seems about right with the way they tout you don't need the hardware to play. People can play on their phones or smart tv or other means. I don't hardly play on my consoles directly since getting devices like the logitech g-cloud and ps portal. Which is to also say I have been playing more digital than physical because of these devices.
Too expensive hardware when others offer the same or more for less? Good work, Green Team.
"Despite some early successes for Xbox games on rival platforms, Xbox hardware is down by a massive 31 percent this quarter."
"Without Activision Blizzard, Microsoft’s overall gaming revenue would have actually declined this quarter."
"Xbox content and services would have only been up a single percent without Activision Blizzard..."
"It looks like next quarter is going to be a similar story for gaming at Microsoft, too."
That is crazy... so A/B/K is carrying the whole Xbox gaming.
Oh and Microsoft will be fine. Windows, Office and Cloud are growing with each pc purchase.
As of right now, there are no monopolies in the games industry, and for the sake of the medium as a whole, they never should either.
And yet the biggest tech companies in America are essentially that. They buy up all the small comps only to kill them off and steal what they have, and if they can't buy em they bleed them to death.
They buy IPs not talent. That's why these buyouts never work and the IPs die. Right now it's too expensive to develop games - but I expect that to shift maybe as AI tools can make it easier. The best games have been indie games for awhile as big developers fuck their ips to death with "games as a service" -
i am guessing an announcement from Team ICO, PSP version of LBP, GOW 3 gameplay video, Uncharted 2, Heavy Rain and Infamous gameplay footage, plus most probably Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 and Quantum Theory gameplay footage plus a couple of other psn & psp games & a few announcements regarding Home, as far as Price cut is concerned, GDC is not the place for it, it will most probably happen at E3 or Sony's Gamers Day 09. Release window for GT5 please.
While on 360 end, I am really hoping they show Alan Awake footage, MassEffect 2 footage, Halo 3 ODST footage and announce some more exclusive games for 2009. *Forza 3 fingers crossed* & there is no way in Hell Microsoft will free xbox live. How do you think they pay for exclusives from. Consider this if there are 15 million proper online Gold Members and if each pay 8$ a month = ???
As far as MGS5 is concerned, I doubt the announcement will be made at GDC, it will either be announced at E3 or TGS09.
WHAT!! Alan Wake was supposed to be a 360 launch title! And i thought that Halo 3 delay was bad, i hope this game doesnt turn into a Too Human
I just wanna see some ME2 footage and at least one new 360 exclusive
wake up alan lets go buddy ... show us wat you got .. speaking of which IS THERE ANY NEWS ON MAX PAYNE 3???
I cant wait for ME2... as far as alan wake.. that dude loves to sleep thou.. dout its coming out anytime early this year i am guessing towards the end of this year anyway.. but b4 then there are loads of games that would keep be busy on my ps3 and 360 so i doin good.
