Activision's Tony Hawk Ride could be exclusive to the Xbox 360 in the UK.
Activision has made it clear that an exclusivity deal has yet to be finalised. Although talks are ongoing with Microsoft, the game still might release for all platforms in the UK.
Activision points all to their previous announcement, which lists the game for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii.
No one wants to use these wonky game controllers. No one.
Never say no one. There’s always going to be someone who’s contrarian who’s gotta say they’re actually a fan of one of these
i had the jaguar and cd32 and yeah, their stock controllers werent all that. They got the job done but there were better ones. The 6 button jag controller felt better to hold and incorporated more sculpting for the hands and fingers to reach the number pad easier. And the competition pro cd32 was like a genesis controller in shape and comfort. Way better than the stock one.
As for kinect, it worked, it was fun but i liked the non gaming uses for it. some people got pretty creative with reverse engineering that thing.
The Ouya controller was incredibly poor. Looked nice but quality of doad buttons triggers was that of a cheap knockoff you get for £1.99 on ebay
It's amazing that there are so many different kinds of video games, but there are certain ones that will leave you looking pretty silly.
Continue Play's Oliver Zimmerman thinks back to all those disappointing moments in gaming's bumpy past.
I'll give some of my own personal ones, Not in order and def can't do top ten there are soo many....
1 - BRINK
2 - Bought MK9 during PSN Blackout couldn't
3 - 2 weeks into Playstation Allstars and reallizing how unfinished it is
4 - When FFXIV first came out/The crazy wait for FFXIII Versus
5 - The last guardian delays
6 - The realization of lack PS Vita support on most fronts
7 - My Sega Gensis Broke the day I "bought" Sonic and Knuckles
8 - My PS3 Yellow lighted the Night I bought MAG on midnight launch
9 - Twisted Metal/Starhawk Sales
10 - Most of the endings to Legacy of Kain games (yes I know why they are like that)
*BONUS* - Realization I'm Never going to see a Mega Man 8 like MM game ever again
**BONUS** - Roy and Mew Two was absent from SSB Brawl
***BONUS*** - Brawl.
lol.....but some really Pissed me off though.
Lol yeah Brink was a pretty big disappointment. One of mine was Turning Point. It had SUCH a good premise, just turned out horrible :/. Another would be the lack of people to play MAG with. It was easy enough to play for a couple months, but it eventually turned into a 2 hour waiting game just to get lucky enough to get into a game, and all the other modes no one played. Loved that game personally. I agree on the Vita one, I love mine, and have TONS of games for it... it just really should have more support overall. TOTALLY agree with Twisted Metal and Starhawk, both were so good. Another would be Age of Conan... it could have be so much, but ultimately just fell flat on it's face. There's quite a few moments to be honest, but at least there's plenty of good moments too to make up for them :D
All 10 entries on the same page?
What magic is this?!?
In all seriousness, this is a well-worded and thoughtful look at the missteps in the gaming industry. Great job!
Story quality - Excellent
Like the Website - Yes
No order
1. PSN down for a month, the month Portal 2, SOCOM, Mortal Kombat, and other games came out at that.
2. Xbox One reveal
3. Zipper Interactive shut down
4. PS3 from launch until 2009
5. Crash Bandicoot and Spyro not owned by Sony or ND and Insomniac respectively.
6. The Wii
7. RRoD
8. Microtransactions
9. Activision killing Tony Hawk and Guitar Hero by releasing it too often
10. David Hayter not voice of Snake anymore
Bonus: infamous 2 reveal with that weird looking douchebag they called "Cole McGrath". I'm glad they changed the look of him back to normal though.
I agree with everything but I would also add Watch Dogs and Sony forgetting about most of their PS1 IPs and cutting all ties with the classics on PS4.
Yes, I did forget those. I went off the top of my head, I'm sure there are plenty of other important disappointing moments I've forgotten too.
......it's better they stay forgotten.....
The Wii wasnt a letdown in my opinion. It was never touted as anything but the Console for Casuals. Now the Wii U launch, there is a bad memory.
I was a young lad when the Wii came out, I believe 6th or 7th grade. I wasn't following advertisements, I just wanted a Gamecube 2, and I didn't get a Gamecube 2 when I opened a Wii Christmas morning. I got, the Wii.....
In my most humble of opinions, the Kinect 2.0 is the biggest letdown in the last few years I can think of. The 1:1 tracking and voice recognition were severely lacking at launch. I know this is a polarizing topic, but its just my thoughts.
I don't like this :(
Yes I edited my comment because I didnt look at the big picture.
The fact that they're breaking up the market and buying exclusives to different regions is pointless.
It's in the same vein as Final Fantasy,but that blow is softened by nobody in Japan buying 360's anyway.
The fact that companies will stoop to these levels just to get one up over the competition pisses me off,it's gamers who suffer and nobody else.
Sony just did the same thing with Ghostbusters.
Now we have to deal with region exclsuives as well on top of DLC exclsuives, time-exclusives, demo exclsuives. Freaking hell. Whats next. Theme Song exclsuive?.
I don;t like how MS have given 3rd parties too much power this gen. That fact that Activision is in talks with MS for exclusive in UK is really sad indeed. last gen this sort of crap deals were unheard of.
Xbox 360.
Exclusives.
Something doesn't add up...
