Anyways after having MS' financial resources and so much development time it's fairly clear to me that SK are not good developers. They're only good developers when they're partnered with Nintendo. If Nintendo had published Too Human it would've been good. Not that I really like Nintendo, I'm a Sony guy, but Nintendo just has a special way of dealing with its second parties.
Anyways, PS3 will win in hardware sales and the 360 will win software sales. And the 360 will never surpass the the PS3 in japan for any meaningful period of time; it just won't happen.
^That's the only word I can think of to describe the shooting. The way the gun recoils and the enemy reacts to getting shot just seems so realistic and fun.
You can surely add me to the list of people who hate that smug motherf*****. Sure he makes good game but I really wish he would shut his obnoxious trap once in a while.
Her kids are playing a game intended for 17+year old individuals where you kills things, and she's concerned about a butt, a boob or a penis. Regardless, it's the parent's job to monitor their child's activity not Microsoft's. And still, most companies like Sony and Microsoft go above and beyond to protect kids that shouldn't even be playing online. There's only so much companies can do to protect kids before they start to hurt the experience of paying adults.
They finally have a decisive victory and people are already trying to downplay it.
Dead or Alive 5 will be made by Team Ninja who's working on NG2 right now. So unless you expect them to make DOA5 in 6 months, DOA5 won't be out in 2008.
Also Forza 2 just came out less than a year ago. Does anybody honestly expect a quality follow-up in such a short time.
And Halo-Chronicles...who's even developing that?
DOA5, Forza 2 and HC will all end up in 2009.
I disagree. Inspiration is not the same as copying them. What Insomniac actually said was that they would be honored if SMG was inspired by their games.
The notion that Miyamoto didn't know what R&C was is ridiculous. R&C is one of the franchises that helped PS2 lay the smackdown on GC last gen.
Quite simply Miyamoto lied to make R&C seem insignificant.
I can respect the man's achievements in gaming but character-wise he's just petty.
Microsoft paid $50 million for some exclusive missions? I'm not a 360 owner but I think I speak for them when I say the money would've been better spent financing two whole, exclusive games.
Rockstar really milked MS.
His arguments are pretty lame. Rockstars said plenty of times that both versions look identical.
And using the port of Rainbow Six as proof that the PS3 version won't look as good is just shameful.
I really wish Shane Bettenhausen would shut his mouth once in a while. What happened to that Microsoft exclusive that was going to be canceled ,huh? People need to learn that 90% of the rumors that float around the videogame industry never come to fruition.
Unfortunately, NGS2 will never come out on PS3 because Microsoft is publishing it. But hey you reminded me about Far Cry 2, that'll #6 on my list:)
For me it's
1. Fallout 3
2. MGS4
3. Star Wars: Force Unleashed
4. GTAIV
5. Little Big Planet
100 foot enemies, 60-player online, 8 player co-op, awesome technical graphics, partially randomly generated levels.....simply amazing. If Halo 3 can get the sort of praise it did for 4-player co-op and Forge Resistance is pretty much guaranteed to be a hit. Unless they make some dumb mistake regarding the core gameplay. But they won't because they're Insomniac-resident gaming GODS of Playstation 3, GODS I tell ya!
While what this analyst says is true, this really doesn't affect PS3 gamers. Almost all PS3 exclusives for 2008 are first-party, so we know they're staying exclusive. On top of that third-party exclusives have been dead for a while.
I'm surprised it's even on 360. Do console gamers really care about RTSs that much? Maybe XBOX360 owners do because they're the closest to PC gamers in terms of what content they prefer.
I think GS lost their credibility a long time ago, whether it was because of the Ratchet and Clank review or the Kane & Lynch fiasco. Navarro leaving only cements this. In fact the only good reviewer left, in my opinion, is Kevin Van Ord.
I'll continue to visit the site though principally because of its forums.
I doubt Sony did this. Ending the format war as soon as possible is in Warner's best interest.
I'm downloading Yakuza 3 right now. I hope it's good.
IGN may be the worst culprit but video game journalism is awful as a whole. Standards for games are much lower than comparable media forms like music or film especially in regards to originality and creativity. Just take a look at Metacritic. It's incredibly rare to see a movie or film get a score above 90 and practically impossible to get a score above 95-and that's how it should be.
