Alot of good points and funny comments

Dedicated servers is an XBL feature I'd love to hear announced

socomnick5766d ago

Its already there m8. Its all up to the developers to choose. The Xbox 360 has the same amount of dedicated server games that the ps3 does.

giantchicken5766d ago

Where's Giant Enemy Crab? This is a story for him.

Veryangryxbot5766d ago

How?

1) HD DVD is dead; Blu Ray OWNED it.
2) Bungie left MS;
3) Bioware bought by EA, Mass effect PS3 announcement at E3 soon? EA loves PS3 now.
4) Bioshock went to PS3 genetically enhanced. Oh how it was just a few months ago that the bot army claimed that this game was the best of last year and will never go to PS3.
5) PGR4 claimed to be GT killer but behind the scenes, the PGR contract was terminated.
6) PS3 outsold 360 throughout 2007 despite Halo 3, the PS3 "killer".
7) PS3 continues to outsell 360 worldwide every month in 2008.
8) Multi platform games started with 360 having the edge in 2006 and early 2007. But look at it now. Most multi platform games have PS3 version looking exactly identical or SUPERIOR. You can tell the tide is changing even AMONGST the AVERAGE developers.
9) the story is different for BRILLIANT developers as they unlock the PS3s power and create games that are technically IMPOSSIBLE on the 360. Uncharted, Ratchet, METAL GEAR SOLID 4, GT5P, KZ2 and more.
10) The real franchises that matter, remain PS3 exclusive. FF, MGS, Tekken, Sony IPs, only on PS3.
11) XBOX live costs 50 bucks EVERY year, meaning that most bots are already down 100 bucks a year since they bought it in 2006 (highest xbox's sold in 2006). Whats your excuse now?
12) PSN gaining on LIVE and surpassing it soon with HOME. All LIVE functionality are available on PSN.
13) PS3 is innovation as brilliant new IPs which are both innovative, original and unique make their way to the PS3. Only to the PS3. LBP, Flow, Africa, Echochrome, Pain and more.
14) PS3 has WIFI, standard HDD, Blue tooth controllers, SIX AXIS, Dual shock 3, keyboard and mouse, standard HDMI, card readers and CELL making it the ONLY console which is truly futureproof.
15) 360 still suffers from RROD issues as it is the most unreliable and pathetic piece of hardware ever to see daylight in console history. When it bricks, its worth less than a piece of brick. Hence the term "brick".

No wonder analysts say that 360 lost tremedous "momentum". Bots, it will take more than just a few miserable announcements at E3 to turn to tide. In fact, its not possible to turn the tide anymore. A crazy bear driving a pink car isnt going to win this war for you.

QueefyB5766d ago

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.

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."

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

just_looken20h ago

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.

Gameseeker_Frampt23h ago

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.

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

Tacoboto1d 17h 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?

banger881d 16h ago

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

ChasterMies1d 6h ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
