With the huge success of the PSN store it may really help consumers and developers.
1. You cut out the middle man making it possible selling at a lower price.
2. Developers can be more creative because there is no production of discs and the game cannot be resold used so they get 100% profit.
The only problem is that we need alot more hard drive space and faster downloads. So it might be a few years off before all of that happens.
This seems like just a licensing issue but if Sony are trying to play "hardball" then wouldnt they be losing money on this deal?
And by the way I think this console war is kinda of stupid. It seems like all these companies are making a profit or at the very least will be.
There is alot of money being thrown around on the PSN/Live not to mention the games and Blu-Ray movies being sold. Even if Sony is losing on the PS3 dont they make that up by the cut...
Apparently the game is optomized to the brink for the PS3.
You have installs and alot of data and a game engine built from the ground up on the PS3.
If you wanted to keep the same quality without compression than it would take at least a few discs. Also there is no guarantee that it will be as good.
I mean I'm sure it would sell at least over million on the 360 but anyone that wanted to play MGS4 has a Ps3 probably. It might take a few people to make a ha...
I would like to think people that spend $400-$500 on something knows it plays games.
I know the PS3 is one of the cheapest Blu-Ray players but just because someone buys it for that reason surely knows it plays games as well.
Im also tired of the term "average consumer". What in the hell does that even mean?
People talk about all these sells figures.
Take a look at what each current gen consoles sells at a month. Then look back to the PS2 days and see how much was sold each month.
The Ps3 is putting up similar numbers back when the PS2 was just getting hot.
Just by pure sales numbers PS3 is just on the same track as the PS2 was.
The Wii is just doing better it doesnt mean the PS3 is doing bad.
Just for an analogy alot more people ...
The analogy Im gonna use is movies.
There might be more enternaining games than MGS4 on just the gameplay but the overall package is unsurpassed.
Its kinda of like watching Toy Story saying its a very entertaining.
Then you watch something like No Country for Old Men understanding its a better movie but just not as entertaining as Iron Man or Transformers even though it is the better movie.
But I guess MGS4 is more like The Dark Kni...
A few grassy knolles and a shooter short of a conspiracy aren't we?
*raises eyebrow*
MGS series really has more of an American story that I dont think people in other countries really get. For a Japanese developer it really goes in deep with American History and putting a twist on it. Even goes as far as loyalty to America via MGS3. I mean its the exact opposite of how I would think someone from another country would try and portray America.
There is some heavy deep stuff, especially in MGS3.
MGS4 on the other has two old men as the Protaganis...
At least you have recieved your email for the beta. I still haven't got mine. [Sad_Face]
They apparently dont want to dish out too much bandwith and not need that much than have too little for the gamers in the beta.
But its a fixable problem it seems.
Im having this problem too.
It works on my sisters PS3 but its doing the freeze on mine. I will get back to you when go in and trade this one for another one and if that one doesnt work Im going to try and get my money back.
There is no point in having a game that wont play.
Do people just pull numbers like that out their butt?
Link please.
We cant have that on N4g GTFO
Well obviously you can't please everybody. I hope the hardcore DX fans don't bash this game for implementing a mainstream game ideas such as a cover system.
I more intrigued by the story myself with the gameplay choices combined with it.
From the trailers it seems prosthesis technology has been implemented in every facet of human life. Its nice to see a game implement a controversial social issue that is fully realized. It seems very similar to the bo...
