How graphics is EVERYTHING when talking about exclusives, but "good enough" is just fine when talking about multiplatform games.
Good games are good games.
People around here have VERY selective memories
Sony proves that MS could learn a LOT from their business model. They are where they are for a reason
It's not a "flaw," the controller design was built for DPAD use. (probably why it has one of the industry's very best DPADs) I'm not saying it doesn't work, or that if you like it you have weird hands or something.
I'm just saying the design was built on a controller that didn't have those sticks at all. They were grafted on. That's just history. That's how the controller evolved. The original design did not anticipate analog sticks a...
That they can make a MUCH more comfortable controller than the DS. DS is just tradition. Too many people can't seem to let go and move on.
The DS design came from a controller that featured the DPAD location as your main movement center. Because there WERE no analog sticks on the original PS controller.
The analog sticks were thrown in where there was room, but the shape of the controller really didnt change. This means you have to lower your thumbs in or...
"On top of the limited viewing angles, limited depth, this technology needs it's 3D to be shot specifically for these sets from what I understand. With the studios and games behind the new glasses based 3D tech, what the hell are people going to watch on these sets? "
Where did you get your information?
Naked eye 3d works the SAME WAY as Active Shutter glasses systems in that:
- TWO images are required for stereo vision.
...
I'm one of them. BC2 is much more accessible. Doesn't mean MAG is bad, really... just means a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT of people will pick other shooters over it.
Nice to read a post from someone who "gets it" and isn't just interested in stating why they harbour disdain for a company.
EVERY COMPANY is copying (and you acknowledge this). Then shout out MS specifically for copying? So it's ok for other companies to copy, but not when it is MS? That's just how the marketplace is set up right now. A company brings a great innovation to the table and others copy.
Standard Dpad?
Shoulder buttons?
Rumble?
Analog stick?
Light Gun?
4 player on home console?
Wireless controllers?
All great inn...
Still wondering where people are getting these >%50 numbers
The NES damn near took gaming right back into a crash. The Wii is steering the industry in that direction right now. The mobile game industry is helping there too.
Businesses see money and they want more. That's just how capitalism works. No one brought the Atari mentality back, it never left. Gaming has just gotten much more popular and diverse such that a crash like that is less likely today even under similar conditions. Doesn't mean it can't happen, but that &...
The business was dirty and cutthroat as soon as money started flowing. MS didn't invent these business tactics, nor did they introduce them into the gaming industry. The industry has been a battleground for a LONG time. Too bad a lot of people are too young to understand that. (let alone to have been around during the atari crash)
With you. Though I can see how people would be of the opinion that it was a bit of a stretch.
Orange, you have the right idea. We need to stop thinking "i want what's best for console X" and start thinking "I want what's best for all gamers everywhere"
Agree.
MS is doing all the wrong things this year. Undoing all the successes they had.
Sony has exactly the right idea. Embrace new tech (motion controls, 3d) AND KEEP hard hitting exclusives on their system.
Bottom line: Ps3 has the exclusives, MS barely has a few. Why buy an xbox? Last year i could have given you a bunch of reasons why 360 would be a good addition to the entertainment center. Now? No. I would recommend PS3 over 360 every si...
In theory? YES.
A stereo image can easily be compressed (via resolution loss) to fit into a single frame buffer. It's been done many times before and is a valid method for displaying 3d. Will it be as high quality as PS3 3D? NO. It can't be because there is not enough bandwidth in the old HDMI spec. But that doesn't mean that it can't do 3d at all.
Anaglyph 3d has nothing to do with what this article is talking about. Please do some research. ...
freakin COAX cable if you wanted to. The bandwidth would just be limited! You would need a resolution drop to fit all the information in.
All you have to do is fit 2 frames at half resolution into every single frame. You will lose resolution without major bandwidth. This was planned for in the newest HDMI spec which is why PS3 went in that direction.
Can the 360 do 3d? YES.
Can the PS3 do it at a higher resolution? Absolutely. That's the...
Or NEXT YEAR?
That they "maxed out" a system all the time. it's happened countless times for both systems. Devs do it as a cheap way to build hype for a game.
Will still be 59.99
About time. We've been at 59 for a while and MOST of the damn XBL prices are still over inflated for Canada compared to the US prices. There is no excuse for regional pricing on virtual goods.
Either way, a good wake up call regarding MS business tactics and why it is a good thing to support competition in the form of SONY this generation.
