nVidia Chief: 360 Must go HiDef

Microsoft can't possibly manage on DVD alone next year – at least that's what nVidia's CEO says.

He's totally biased, of course, being the man behind the graphics in both the PS3 and Wii consoles, but now the boss of nVidia is laying into Xbox 360's lack of Hi-Def disc support.

Praising Sony's decision to delay the PS3 to squeeze in Blu-Ray, nVidia's chief executive, Jen-Hsun Huang, has told the San Jose Mercury News that Microsoft simply can't compete against its graphical might with the Xbox as it stands.

It would have been helpful if he had outlined the reasons why he believes DVD would not be sufficient as far as HD videogames go...as for HD movie playback, I could care less because when HD movie's actually become mainstream I will buy a quality stand alone player to watch movies in my living room...not a video game console.

isn´t ATI who is in charge of wii graphics?

johnrichardandrew6484d ago

Yes but game journalism now is getting worse by the year.

mikeeno76484d ago

Of course the nvidia man is going to say this. It's like Microsoft saying their machine is the best.

Krimson6484d ago

Breaking news! ATI thinks the 360 is a better console!

The Snake6484d ago (Edited 6484d ago )

That's pretty much how it goes. The less 360s sold, the lesser its market share. The lesser MS's market share, the more market share Sony gets. And the more Sony sells, the more nvidia makes. It's not necessarily that he is biased, but he does have a good reason or motive to be. Therefore anything he says about this issue should definitely be taken with a grain of salt.

What a worthless article. First off, it's crap. Secondly, he's so utterly biased it's ridiculus. If PS3's don't sell by the truckload, then he stands to lose money. So of course he'll say this. nVidia has officially entered the world of the Sony hype machine, a lot of hot air with no real substance. It reminds me of Sony with their Sony Pictures group, when they invented that fake movie critic a couple years ago that gave all Sony Pictures' movies great reviews. Then of course, they got busted for it. It's why it doesn't surprise me that several game review sites/mags receive Sony 'donations' and of course last year's E3 'in game' movies (ahem.....CG pre-rendered). I guess maybe I'll have to lump nVidia in the same boat.

Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX

This could be fun as they make great tables. Go big or go extinct. Prime your senses for a neural handshake and step into the cockpit of a Jaeger. It is on you to cancel the apocalypse when Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX on May 16.

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.

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing691d 12h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker1d 12h 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!

KyRo1d 11h ago (Edited 1d 11h 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.

CrimsonWing691d 11h ago (Edited 1d 11h 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.

Profchaos1d 8h ago (Edited 1d 8h 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.

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken20h ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.
