I am guessing this will be approved very quickly *sigh*

gunnerforlife5365d ago

i dnt get how that culd be when the game is multi platform?

Blaze9295365d ago

I think he's just saying Half-Life 2: Episode 3 will be the next big game for them as Halo was....or um Ep3 will have a impact on the Xbox 360 and PC as Halo did for the Xbox in general and FPSs on consoles....or something like that.

The way valve is now, pretty much confirmed that Episode 3 will hit the Xbox 360 and PC. Of course Valve's home will be on the PC but they are slowing building a 360 fanbase with the Left 4 Dead games. So yeah, I think it might be pretty big. Its HALF-LIFE, 'nuff said.

Megaton5365d ago

They need to make the source block customizable, based on your preferences. Would be very refreshing to never have to read one of HHG's ass-plucked headlines ever again.

table5365d ago

I personally can't see it making a big impact on 360. The kids want more Halo and CoD for gods sake. It will be massive on PC though.

GiantEnemyCrab5365d ago (Edited 5365d ago )

Stewart: I have a full friends list and every single one of them has the Orange Box on their played games list.

"According to VG Chartz, Valve's Orange Box sold some 348,049 copies on the Xbox 360 in its first week. That was enough to beat out Halo 3 (285,860 copies) for the top console spot."

http://ve3d.ign.com/article...

I think it will do VERY well on the 360 and it's lame to blanket all 360 gamers as "low brow" all they want to play is Halo and Call of Duty. Those are very popular games but it's complete BS to pretend that is all 360 gamers are interested in.

SaberEdge5365d ago (Edited 5365d ago )

I think you are wrong. Orange Box had a pretty big impact on the 360 and Left 4 Dead made an even bigger impact. I think Episode 3 will be a pretty big game for the 360 whenever it comes out.

Edit: Looks like GiantEnemyCrab beat me to it. :)

SuperM5365d ago

Halflife is first and foremost a PC game. How can a non exclusive game do any impact even remotely close to halo for the 360? It cant. Valve games arent even published by Microsoft, so how can they be Microsofts weapon when they dont have anything to do with the development of the game. HHG, you really need to stop all these retarded arguments. I think your show is totally ok when its not headlined by something far away from the truth. Unfortunately it often is, and this is a perfect example.

This headline here is the perfect example why you get so much hate. Just stop it. You can talk about half life episode 3 as much as you want. But dont try to come up with some stupid far away from reality line just so to get some fanboy attention. I really hope you dont believe what you write yourself because this is stupid.

socomnick5365d ago

Seriously who approves this garbage, they should have their contributors status removed and be barred from approving stories.As for HHG the man is a bloody short idiot. I simply cannot comprehend why people approve his retard articles.

ape0075365d ago

love your interview,really well done

peace my brother

Chubear5365d ago

I got to admit, that Guitar Hero DSi/Wii battle connectivity is pretty damned sweet looking.

Simon_Brezhnev5365d ago (Edited 5365d ago )

Its official hiphopgamer is the biggest dîck riding fâggot he use to be cool but now he is on everybody dîck that gives him a free game. I see he learned from his biggest idol 50 Cent that controversial sales.

All-35365d ago

Apparently Natal will have its own processor - yes?

Find out if this processor will be able to be utilized at all - for non-Natal games, as an option for those developers needing extra horsepower for their games. Those games could be made for Natal and non-Natal Xbox 360s... yet have the option to utilize the processing in Natal if possible?

topdawg1225365d ago (Edited 5365d ago )

Great show HHG, love the song at the end btw it sounds sick.
Idk why everyone hates this guy so much, he gives great interviews, bold predictions, and pretty decent game reviews as well. If you don't like his opinions then you shouldn't even be on this site cause over 70% of this site is garbage news. Everybody callin him out for this, but praise other articles from no name sites on n4g. the irony kills me

like hhg says God bless

DaTruth5365d ago

Absolutely true; 9/10 stories on this site are nothing but flame-bait or half a$$ed rumours. Why call out one guy for it?

no_more_trolling5364d ago

why all the hate

i hate to say this, but some of u are just racist

im not afraid to say it, cuz i see no other reason why u would hate the guy,

Is HHG pimping his sisters van again at the beginning of the video like he was doing on Killzone 2's midnight launch? That really isn't gangsta lol. I kid I kid.

Kushan5365d ago

Back in November last year, he reported that Half Life 3 (Note: Not EPISODE 3) was going to be launched to compete with Killzone 2. Yeah, well done HHG.

Here's the proof if you don't believe me:

http://www.hiphopgamershow....

"* Half-Life 3? 360’s answer to killzone 2
* Xbox360 25 million at the end of the year
* Playstation Home Will Not Match XboxLive Day1
* Call Of Duty 6 To Be Sci-Fi?
* Game Review – Gears Of War 2
* Much Much More Enjoy The Show "

Also notice that Modern Warfare 2 is supposed to be a Science Fiction title, according to this quack.
He needs to stop getting approval on this site.

ZOMBIEMAN15365d ago

HHG is a zit on gaming journalism's @ss he said once GTA5 will be PS3 exclusive that was a year ago and the only PS3 exclusive Rockstar North is making is Agent which he passed of as GTA5 , Agent is not GTA5 hell it's probably not open world , also the guy gets excited for almost every pre render trailer like Halo 3 ODST & Section 8 he was like ready to orgasm because it looked amazing and guess what those 2 games look nothing like the pre render trailer he even said Section 8 would look better than KZ2 and look as good as Crysis if i'm not mistaken out of 1 freaking CG trailer .the guy needs to be banned

ZOMBIEMAN15365d ago

also i wanna add HHG is a d!ck the dude PM'd me saying how Agent was originally GTA5 but Sony wanted it to be a new IP and how HE predicted a PS3 slim , this guy should be shot this guy is such a fvcking @sshole

Unbiased15365d ago

I want some of what ever this guy is smoking...

Unbiased15365d ago

He talks about rumored RPG, Sev from PSLS also mentioned RPG, who knows maybe it is true.

topgeareasy5365d ago

1st wii
2nd PS3
3rd xbox 360 @ the end of this gen

N4PS3G5365d ago

I've been dying here to use a time machine...how much did it cost?

Stryfeno25365d ago

I used it...I went to the future and found out the oxygen has turned into pot...Breath in and get high all day.

JasonPC360PS3Wii5365d ago

You know in the real world when you count up everything these consoles have to offer for consumers, online, games, movies, music, features, and dlc. Then when you count console sales, game sales, dlc sales, Live users and accessories it's more like this.

1. 360
2. Wii
3. PS2
4. PS3

Saaking5365d ago

Wait, wait you stupid bots you just contradicted yourself. You said "microsoft wins this and then you listed them in second place. How is that winning? 2nd place is not equal to winning you moron. If you want to brag about sales, you've got the wrong console.

RockmanII75365d ago

I think your referring to Heaven...

deadreckoning6665365d ago (Edited 5365d ago )

As far as sales and popularity:
1. Wii
2. Xbox 360
3. Ps3
U can all say "a price drop will do this" or "RROD is this" but thats how its gunna be all throughout this gen.
IMO Wii's garbage, PS3 has the best exclusives, but the 360 is the OVERALL best gaming machine...at least when the new JASPER chipset comes out and RROD will be a thg in the past.

The_Beast5365d ago

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!! xbox in first place? ok if it cant out sell the wii or even come close to it in any shape form or way and its 50$ CHEAPER THEN THE WII..

bots just....ehh the stupidity these day... keep it up bots, you get a A+ in retardation section.

Kill Crow5365d ago (Edited 5365d ago )

PS3 will need to outsell 360 by:

489,381 per month to catch it by Jan 2011. 112,934 per week.
286,879 per month to catch it by Jan 2012. 66,203 per week.
202,914 per month to catch it by Jan 2013. 46,826 per week.
156,971 per month to catch it by Jan 2014. 36,224 per week.

Current rate is: -51,873 per month
Avge for last 6 mths
Negative number means 360 is still outselling PS3 by that amount per month on avge

R2D25365d ago

and why does he have to say the F word so much :(

Chewy1025365d ago

And no one can call themselfs a gangsta if they don't drop at least 2-4 F words every min and degrade everything and everyone around them. It's all about looks and nothing else.

Don't bother watching this guy. He makes up over 80% of his "news" and only wants hits for the site.

Leio5365d ago (Edited 5365d ago )

Hiphopgamershow.com

"sign up and become a real gangsta"

WTF hahaha!!

Chewy1025365d ago

but if I said something untrue then please tell me. HHG.com has not reported anything news worthy for a long time now,and most to all of his titles are just flamebait or make no since. I don't hate the man or his life style but I do hate his bulls*** articles.

If what I said isn't true then give me some proof and I'll take it back. Untill then enjoy that darkness the phantoms live in.

Blaster_Master5365d ago

Well if you watched the show, you would know he just pretty much announced GH5 on the Wii features DS support thats incredible. But of course you wont acknowledge this because your a hater, and not a supporter of HHG. You just got shot down boy. So just shut up and watch the show.

Chewy1025365d ago

You call me a hater. I have to agree with you, I just don't like his show or his site (but I DON'T hate the man or what he choses to be). That's just me and that's how I am, and if you don't like that then you should just go ahead and ignore me. I don't care if you do.

As for him 'pretty much' announcing GH5 (guitar hero 5?) on the Wii having DS support in the show(How can he "pretty much" announce something?). Ok I'll take your word on that. but was that all that was "news" in the show? The title and discription don't tell me anything but opinions and a sports game review.

I don't belive ANYTHING unless it comes from the devs that are making the game (if the devs are the ones that said that then Im sorry for that bit of 'hate') when it comes to an annoucement. (Plus I don't care for guitar hero anyway.)

Anyway Iv ranted to much already so I'll just end it here. If you want to give me a disagree then please do so. That's why they are there. Im just happy that someone came out the darkness and stood up for his/her opinion, as I have done.

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

CrimsonWing694h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker4h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing693h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos53m ago(Edited 50m ago)

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos10h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto9h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger889h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
