I'll show this to my students as an example of what happens if you drop out of school.

Come on, i want to see an article saying "PlayStation Network: Price, Now justified" too.
I mean, come on. If people hated paying for Xbox Live, why do they defended it so much, saying that "50 a year for Xbox Live? Puff, MS is the one getting rip-off"
The PS3 does have that "sex appeal" by having a more open platform, and the Blu Ray player built in...
This guy kinda loses some credibility with me when he cites the Xbox 360 titles (Halo 3, Gears of War) by saying that shooters can't hold his attention very long, yet he lists Resistance 2 and Killzone 2 as big reasons for him choosing the PS3 over the Xbox 360... That part did sound a bit "fanboy-ish" to me. Aside from that, his complaints about the Xbox ...
I have no problem with online achievements that don't undermine the overall objective of a match... Achievements that promote winning are fine with me, so I say just keep online achievements "victory-based".
Something like "Win 100 ____ mode matches"
or "Win 5 matches in a row"
That's fine with me... but the approach that Epic is taking with the "One stat per match" counting toward achievements... That will just result in pe...
It sure doesn't look very impressive.
It looks very average actually...
The visuals are GOOD, but the gameplay looks very mediocre. Regardless of the reasons for it taking as long as it has, they're losing their edge.
When games that have spent a fraction of that time being developed (COD4 , Uncharted. Gears of War) are looking better, and looking like they play much better, you have to wonder when enough is enough.
They've spent so much money ...
But for a full game, it looks terrible. The textures look flat, the polygon count looks to be low, there doesn't seem to be one bit of Next-Gen effects added to it at this point, so I don't blame anybody for being disappointed at the leaked screens... XboxLive arcade games like Small Arms feature more impressive graphics than those shown in these screenshots, let alone comparing them to a game like the latest Ratchet & Clank game... That game was cartoonish, but looked great. These Banj...
I don't know what numbers ForTheFallen is looking at, but it has always been reported that the Xbox360 version of GTA IV sold more than 1 MILLION more copies than the PS3 version
You have to figure, if each console received the same % of console sales boost because of GTA IV,the Xbox 360 would obviously sell more units because it already had such a large base.
These screenshots are disappointing... WIth a game that has cartoonish graphics like this, I expect much more. All of the large scale shots feature terrible backgrounds. The textures look very flat on all of the ground/floor surfaces, and they used the cop-out fog effect for the background environments.
I am not trying to bash the game unjustly, I really do hope that they can ramp up the visuals, but so far it is very underwhelming. The very first shot I came across was the one with...
Personally... I never would have thought that this long after the PS3 launch, there'd still be only 2 exclusive titles worth playing on the PS3... It certainly doesn't make me feel like the PS3 was a good investment, especially with the early price cuts.
I'm not really into the whole HOME idea, but they've really botched that whole thing, and with all of the other delays abound, I think it's safe to say that SONY has disappointed many.
They can really only go up from...
Does Mirror's Edge look like a free-running Time Crisis?
Seriously... I'd be livid...
It's no RROD, but this is as bad an issue as I've heard of any single game having.
Less "Dependant" and not "less Independent"
I think HOME is a distraction from gaming. I'm sure it's an attempt to create a sense of individualism and ownership that will encourage people to spend more time on their console, but I think most people still do their casual inter-networking on their PCs. Gaming consoles are still largely regarded as.... Gaming consoles.
Not only that, but I've always been underwhelmed at the concept of HOME. It's NOT revolutionary (Sims meets 2nd Life?) and it just sounds too gimmicky to be...
The high PS3 attach rate was probably due largely to the lack of good games on the PS3. The PS3 fans have wandering in the desert, and GTA IV was the drink they'd been waiting for.
The Xbox 360 consumers have had a string of good games to buy, and Microsoft has managed to pull in a good amount of casual gamers that aren't necessarily the same people that are into what GTA has to offer.
Then more copies of GTA IV for XBox 360 were sold... That's it...
I understand that the "per console" numbers are better for the PS3, but to a developer, that doesn't mean sh*t...
And in the end, you want to make developers happy so that good games will keep showing up on your platform.
If another games maker looks at the sales figures, they will see that the Xbox 360 version of GTA IV made more money than the PS3 version. That's it.
...
The environments are very stark, and what's up with the fake reflections? When you run at a mirrored window, you should see yourself.
The overall look is TOO polished and clean, and the city looked to be completely vacant as the camera looked down into the streets.
It looks like TIME CRISIS
Here's the link... FOR NOW

I think it looks great. The animations are very nice. It's very comparable to COD4 in the graphics department.
That's what this game is...
All of the exploits that you used to be able to do actually RUINED the experience for me in past games.
It's kinda like getting an infinite money cheat, or GOD mode in a game. Yeah, it's fun for a bit, but the lack of a challenge quickly takes the fun out of the experience for most players. I know it does for me.
This games has a lot of things that are the product of the developer paying great attention to detail. I like th...
Imitating art, imitating life
"Hey, I hate having options! Please limit me to either a one-on-one chat, or be forced to listen to a bunch of ignorant, underage, whiney or racist strangers!" or...... not.
I'm extremely happy with the party chat option. It's awesome. I can play in 8 on 8 matches and talk with my 3 friends who are on my team without having to hear the jacka55 that decided that he would be clever by putting his mic near his home stereo and blaring gangster rap to the party.
