I agree with the article maybe that's why there isn't a lot of innovation in games today because game developers are trying so hard to emulate films. I'm sorry but Heavy Rain marks something that has not been done in gaming and that is to bring a true mature title without the mindless blood and gore and cokie ass cutter story. If anything Heavy Rain will make people and those nay sayers believe that videogames are also for adults just as much for kids.
Yes the PS2 hardware may not have been great but Sony fixed its hardware issues in the third year of the PS2 lifetime. The xbox 360 even in its fifth year has all the hardware issues from launch. The xbox 360 lacks innovative or immersive games something the PS2 had, none of the xbox 360 games are innovative or immersive. We are playing last gen games music games like guitar hero or rockband play and look the same as the PS2 exclusive called Amplitude, games like gears of war is an improved v...
thank you gamers have forgotten about what makes a game great and is not the sales is the quality immersive innovative games. Quality: visual fidelity does it look next gen, does the environment packs details like holo-screens, pots and pans, etc., gameplay mechanics are the games have complex gameplay in terms you have to press a button at a time to make an action for the character or does one button do multiple actions for the character at a time or is it pick up and play that you don't nee...
Thank you someone that talks about games and doesn't care about sales. MAG is the first ever MMO Shooter on any videogame platform and yes people do go guns ablazing and really they need to talk and work as a team something that gamers lack. Also games like LBP best online play ever and the community of that game is amazing, games like Uncharted make you think you can't go guns ablazing you have to use cover you have to use your weapons accordingly, you have to pay attention on the layout of ...
Somewhat true but when you talk about sales are you talking about retail sales or all forms of sales. My point is NPD only covers retail sales of new and used games not digital sales, not catalog sales, and not import sales. Not everyone is going to buy a game for $60.00 they would look at online deals like pricegrabber.com or amazon.com and find the game for $40-50 dollars or pay the game in small monthly payments easiest way to buy multiple games at once is through catalog sales by buying ...
No horrible article!!!! Retail Sales do not determine how well a videogame sells is only part of the sale. Digital Sales from Amazon.com, Ebay, etc. are what the majority of videogames are being sold which is not covered by NPD, catalog sales, import sales, are also important again NPD does not cover import sales and catalog sales. Okay, do you think everyone is gonna go out and buy the game for $60.00 without looking for a deal online or paying the game monthly so enough with the sales alrea...
Goes to show that Sony cares about its consumers more so than Microsoft by the way has Star Ocean 4 being fixed yet or Call of Juarez being fixed yet. Yes Sony needs third party developers to survive like Nintendo for both the N64 and Gamecube they relied too much on first party developers which pretty much struggled and couldn't get to catch up to both Playstation and PS2 systems. Now this generation most of those Wii exclusives are made by third party game developers; altough, most of them ...
I doubt it except the most logical way will be to release both the first and second Mass Effect in a single blu-ray disk. Is a story based game you need to play the first one in order for the gamer to understand what is going on.
Noooo!!! just kidding, I truly respect this company for like the article stated it was Nintendo that brought gaming from the dead. The wii was aimed at non-gamers and to create a new loyal fanbase after all who supported as gamers the gamecube or the N64. Well the N64 I can understand why gamers didn't supported due to low amount of games and two very expensive games at $70 or even $80.00 dollars but the gamecube did have great games is that the so called loyal Nintendo fanbase left Nintendo....
What does 240-400 points equal in xbox live. Lame what is Microsoft doing oh yeah ripping its customers again why oh why 360 fans stand up and protest about it. That will be cool.
Killer instinct!!!!! That would help the xbox 360's game lineup. The point is were are the xbox 360 exclusives not on PC like the remake of Kotor, a new oddworld game, etc. To allow 360 gamers to use external usb hard drives so they can enjoy the multiplat games like mass effect 2, alan wake, bioshock 2, lost planet 2, etc. via games on demand in native 1080p native resolution.
What Microsoft could do is bring killer instinct and charge 0.50 or 0.25 cents for game rooms arcade games. They already mess up Natal so oh well and as far as Sony goes the only thing I ask is if they are going for a premium service leave both online play and communication features; as well, party system freee of charge. Twisted Metal or Jet Moto along with Starhawk would bring variety and a better line-up for the PS3. What it will be great will be to make an announcement stating the Mass Ef...
Because they are consolites and only care about consoles. I truly respect PC gamers. So, I know for a fact that PC gamers have been enjoying 3D games for the past two years I believed but we have not seen the full potential of the PS3 and probably we will never see it because Sony is a hardware company not software and it has proven it time and time again. Is sad really because Sony had the chance to make their games via PS3 Linux, it had the chance to get Steam onto PS3 Linux but PS3 fans vo...
So tell me how to input HD resolution without a HD component. When the xbox 360 was released it lacked HDMI connection or AVI connection these two connections are needed to upscale or have native HD resolution. It was in 2008 that the xbox 360 elite introduced the HDMI connection; therefore, all previous xbox 360 games before the elite were in standard definition and also the DVD format was designed to run in standard definition it does not do HD definition so Virtua Tennis is upscaled not na...
Finally someone that understands what the PS3 is. Yes the PS3 poor marketing campaign and mishandle of the Linux operating system prevented Sony from making the PS3 succeed as the PS2. Is unfortunate that it took Sony 3 years to get a good marketing campaign.
Quad HD could be possible, how about cloud storage that would be nice and what I think is going to happen is instead of having multiple systems at home like your HD DVR system, your blu-ray player, your old ass PC, is going to be one system. That's what people don't understand about PS3 this system is capable of running Linux and has a blu-ray player. In essence it will be a hybrid system that is both a game console and a PC in one. That is the most logical solution of what to expect for the...
No we don't need Microsoft. Linux or Mac are better Operating systems than the Windows Operating system.
Sorry finishing off here the last part of my comment was supposed to go like this. FFXlll was made for newcomers to the rpg genre and basically throughout this generation has been completely about visuals not what matters most and that is videogame content.
I am typing for the first time on my ps3 ha ha ha! Enough of that silly joke the PS3 browser is getting better thank god. Before the letters were too small for my sdtv my hdtv is broken. Okay on the topic at hand Square Enix decided to make a final fantasy to appeal to anyone whether they like jrpgs or not. Like MGS4 it was no longer required to sneak or use sneaking techniques you could play the game as a fps shooter meh!!! or blast your way through. Now FF13 was not made to appeal western ...
I totally agree with your statement and to me Heavy Rain may prove that adult mature games do exist like Metal Gear which has a brilliant storyline is just unfortunate that you see this great storyline unfold via cutscenes as opposed to via gameplay. Now its possible that Heavy Rain may not only deliver a mature adult storyline but could it be the first citizen of kane game. If so that would be great again Heavy Rain should stand on its own merits, but at the same time it could rival many mov...
