Cinemablend.com writes. "You're probably already misconstrued regarding the aim of this article. But let me key you in on a very obvious fact: The video game industry would've died real fast, if the PlayStation 3 pocketed the majority of third-party developers, exclusively. That's why the Xbox 360 is the perfect savior for what could have been a disastrous "next-generation".
Marks of the video game industry know flat-out that third-party exclusivity is a surefire way to differentiate one platform from the next. Said exclusivity really reached a peak during the Xbox/Gamecube/PS2 era with games and series like The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay, Square's RPG library for the PS2, or THQ's Smackdown Vs. Raw series. But that's back when games – on a financial average – weren't reaching the $10 million mark, with the exception of Halo 2's movie-like budget of $20 million buckaroonies."
Hit for more....
From school politics to ping-pong, pistols to police procedurals, let’s dive into the best that Rockstar has to offer.
Saif from eXputer inquires, "Despite the everlasting popularity of the genre, why hasn't there been a good AAA horror game in a while now?"
@crow
Did I give away your secret? It's okay, if you sit on your hand and numb it, you can pretend it's her playing with your little stick.
Even when they do it's first person trying to copy Outlast, Five Nights, P.T etc
I think the Dead Space / RE2 / RE4 Remake and the Evil Within 2 showed you can have a good story based, third person survival horror game.
I feel like we haven't had much in the way of horror games for years, I think it became rare after the PS2/PS3 gen. Maybe i'll pick up that Crow Country that recently came out, that looks good.
"In a time when companies don't care about preserving games, I have high respect for the creators of projects like N64: Recompiled." - Hanzala from eXputer.
il beat you to the ski-lift,
framerate on snowboard kids was shocking, do you remember./?
talking of shocking framerate and kart racers style games,
Sony had a gem on ps3, with 'Modnation Racers' but again, framerate was so terrible, still fun though, indeed, when is drifting sideways not fun, the answer is never. we have not seen enough of that game, technically some people made race tracks/games in dreams and little big planet etc, but its just not the same,!!! grrrrr
morning rant over.
here, relive some ,memories. https://www.youtube.com/wat...
The load time on ModNation where also excruciatingly long... But man oh man I wish that game took off more, so much fun! Could turn off garbage rubber banding, I had karts with 100's of stickers to design some crazy cool stuff, custom tracks. Fantastic undeappreciated game
Some food for thought:
Would you donate your physical copy of a really rare/expensive cartridge (Conkers's BFD, Bomberman 64 Second Attack, Ogre Battle 64, the two Castlevania titles, etc) to those managing this project for the greater good of getting them preserved online for all to experience at some point?
As long as it meant they never took money from Patreon and invited a DMCA takedown / lawsuit by Nintendo to take it all away. After seeing the whole debacle with Yuzu I now question how long any of these teams can maintain game preservation efforts through emulator development, or otherwise.
Is it realistically needed though I would not personally give anyone my old carts for games that are already persevered and easily available online
The snippet of ray tracing at the end of the og trailer was low-key amazing. I found out thanks to Nerrel who also made a texture pack for MM, and i can't wait to see how much more great this game will be in the near future. With model swaps, ray tracing, retextures, and a more quicker process than decompilation, it's gonna bring new life to N64 games.
There might need to be a bit of clarification recompilation is not the same as decompilation.
This is basically a container to excite the rom within but allows for all sorts of beat additions and tricks like new lighting effects such as ray tracing to be added.
But decompilation would ultimately be king as it allows for a widespread porting capabilities and uses the assets from games to build a native install for PC or whatever the target system is e.g Mario 64 for PC or sonic mania for psvita / wii
This confirms some points I have been trying to make. Dev. need to make the CASH back. We need to buy the consoles to make their plan to make money back make since. If your user base is too small to support the budget of the game they are almost forced into going multi platform.
The article says Sony needs to sell 5 million consoles in the U.S. buy Nov. for publishers and developers to see a market that support the budget for the titles they are putting together. Sounds strait up to me.
Nice Article.... Its about as obvious as saying The Xbox360 having a 1 year headstart and a lower price tag has managed to sell more consoles than the late and expensive PS3 console. This being said game developers will make more money from 13 million combined owners of both consoles or even 10 million (xbox360 alone) rather than 3 million PS3 owners. BRAVO ...BRAVO....
Who's the author of this.. Captain Obvious I suppose. By a show of votes... Who didnt know Xbox's 1 year jump and being launched in all countries first would give it a larger install base. Also that next-gen games cost way more to dev than last gen games.
I guess the obvious is not so obvious to some people. I think im going to write an article. Title it.
"When you drive your car it burns Gasoline"
You dont realize the real truth,the real truth is that if microsoft would have never created a next-gen console neither would have sony because sony was doing super well with the ps2 so why would they want to kill their cashcow. As a matter of fact the only real reason why new generation consoles are created in the first place is because some threat like competition arises. If monopolies were legal we'd probably still have the atari 2600. Dont forget that at the end of the day video games are just a business like everything else except love and war and i could be wrong about war.
It pays to be cynical sometimes, it makes you smart.

And trust me i'm not g@y as a matter of fact im asking you this cause im so un-g@y ,change your avatar, when i want to see porn i go to nude chicks sites (i do it plenty), your avatar is distracting every time i see it , it makes me want to go back to the those sites. (smiles)
reply to 3.7
the genesis already had 3d graphics, very crappy ones but 3d non the less, so sony made them look better with the ps1 big deal, thats what next-gens are supposed to do, make graphics better.
reply to 4.1
gamers getting bored because they see technology improving elsewhere IS competition. So we are in agreement. oh by the way thanks for hitting the plus button although i just realized that i know a way to increase my bubbles myself but i wont reveal it out of respect for the admins of this place.
I thought it was a decent article.
It didnt seem biased towards one or the other, which to be honest is something of a rarity these days!
