"The first football game to *officially* grace the brand spankin' new Dallas Cowboys stadium was in fact rendered for all to see in glorious 1080p high definition.
The game played out on the stadium's 160ft. x 72ft screen-the world's largest 1080p HDTV-as part of a fan appreciation day sponsored by EA and PlayStation. More than 10,000 were expected to attend.
Driving the game as it unfolded high in the air was a humble (in comparison) PlayStation 3."
Gamers are all about bargains, since most of us can't afford to shell out $60 for every game. What we we really want comes to do getting our gaming money's worth. We demand $60 worth of content not $20, we want at least 20 hours of game play, an end to console exclusives, quicker price drops, among a few other things. What about yearly sequels and same day DLC? Goozernation wants to know what other bargains fellow gamers demand.
Instead of analyzing potential gameplay per dollar spent, let's just agree that price drops are the way to go.
Be careful, they might drop the price of COD to 40 and trhen charge you 10 dollars a month to play....I would rather leave them where they are at then go down that route
Honestly if they start charging monthly subscriptions then I will not be playing COD anymore. I'd suspect the fan base would drop quite a bit too.
I'd go for that, I'm sure some of us would like to see more then 6 hrs worth of gameplay out of a $60 game
Agreed. Though most of those games have an online mode that lengthens the gameplay spent on the game significantly.
release single player games at $30-$40, charge separately for online modes. i don't use them so why should i pay for them? why should i pay a full $60 for something like cod when 75% of it is an online mode i don't use?
Well as far as bargains to me....60 dollar games are fine but if you can get the dollar per hour ratio of the game to about 2 or lower...that's a good deal to me.
For example, if I get 30 hours out of Reach (and I will...trust me), then that's a great game first off and a good deal. That's how I kinda look at things....Do I think I'll really play this for 20-30 hours? If so, then I'm open to buying it
If you’re into lazy days at the beach then this news update isn’t for you. But, if your idea of a fun Summer consists of pwning noobs in online tournaments and winning boat loads of money for your efforts, then Virgin Gaming has got you covered this Summer like a well placed gob of sun screen.
The United States Supreme Court has delivered their opinion in American Needle v. NFL, the antitrust case surrounding the Madden NFL series of games. The Seventh Circuit had previously ruled that the NFL, if it wishes to promote its brand (in this case, football), it must do so as a "joint venture" rather than in a competitive environment, allowing them to limit sales of NFL products to only a single outlet: something that could affect sales of Madden games. The Supreme Court, however, firmly rejected this idea, thus preserving the Madden series for sale at outlets other than NFL.com. The court highlighted the danger faced by the Seventh Circuit's ruling, had they not overturned it: "There would be nothing to prevent each of the teams from making its own market decisions relating to purchases of apparel and headwear, to the sale of such items, and to the granting of licenses to use its trademarks,” Justice Stevens said.
