Video game predictions for 2008

It's hard for anyone to argue that 2007 was a good year for the Sony Playstation 3.The success of the Playstation 2, combined with years of hype due to multiple delays, gave gamers an unrealistic vision of what the console could deliver.

Fans were promised sensational graphics which would blow the Xbox 360 out of the water. What they got were marginalized experiences, with versions of 3rd party games like Madden NFL '08 that ran twice as slow on their console without any graphical benefits.

Written by a Sony fanboy. Microsoft is barely mentioned and it predicts Nintendo's downfall.

Xbox is the BEST5935d ago

read so many predictions but my favorite is "We will sell 10 million PS#3 by September 2007."

playinitcool5934d ago

yeh that was a good one...a close second to my fav "360 will wipe the competition this holiday season"

But u are most probably more knowledgeable and level headed than me "xbox is the BEST"

mintaro5935d ago

i really doubt MGS4 and GTA4 will be delayed till fall/holiday season

Oh Canada...

I love it when sites that have little or nothing to do with electronics, gaming, internet, etc., throw their hat into the ring with little regard to what the hell they're actually "publishing". I've to admit I didn't read it all because the first few pages were such drivel.

Try filtering dozens of this type of thing everyday just to see whats going on in the industry.

wiizy5935d ago

of course sony fanboys giving themselves hope.. 08 will be like 07.. ps3 still last but sell about a million more.. so people are going to pump them up like they are doing something special.. while xbox 360 sells double that and the wii triple.. so 08 wii will be number 1

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Coming Back for a New Generation

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

anast5h ago

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood4h ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK2h ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.
