It is amazing how much hype even a mediocre title like this gets. How many stories did they post about this being the most revolutionary game ever? The killer app of '08? It wasn't long b4 users started buying the hype and hailing this game as there must have.
Then what happened? They actually released some footage. And it was an eyesore at that. People got to form their own opinions of this game and they weren't so positive anymore.
Anyways, maybe the devs. will...
Ever play oblivion on 360? Game was a freeze fest! If you didn't cache the 360's memory the game was unplayable! (you have to hold a button while you boot the console up to cache the memory, I forget which)
But yeah, didn't Sony already find a solution to this problem. They posted an article on this site a couple days ago talking about how that was easily fixed.
Anyways, my PS3 barely ever freezes on me. I could count all the times it has frozen on me on one hand...
GTA4 doesn't come close. It is just the same old GTA but spruced up for the next-gen of consoles.
Zelda was truly innovational. When ppl forget about GTA4 I will still play Ocarina of time.
really though, no one's gonna read that monstrosity bro.
It is the same on PS3 and 360. Not to mention, it was recently announced(quite conveniently after GTA's release) that the DLC will not be a new addition to the city. It is going to be strictly add-ons. So in about 6 months from now, you can go ahead and download some more missions and what not for a price yet determined. That's what I call 50mil well spent!
Don't get me wrong, every time I see this game the graphics get better(more textures), but still, the gameplay is nothing special.
This game seems to be more focused on the story, which is cool, but the gameplay just looks run of the mil to me. I mean, if you're gonna to make another FPS drowning in a sea of other FPS's you might as well throw some interesting guns in there. That's basically what Resistance did. But so far, they just have all the typical guns from what I've see...
A few weeks ago they just posted an article claiming sales a blu ray titles were up 300%.
Now, although this was not the same for harware, one would concur that a 300% rise in blu ray dvd sales might be seen as a success
Microsofts best game just got a whole lot of competition. Damnation, Socom: Confrontation, and now Red Faction. These are all 3rd person shooters that look on par w/ Gears of War if not better.
From what the article says GEOmod will delliver the most detailed destrucable environments in any game to date. This is definetly going to be the killler app of '09.
I'm probably going to trade my COD4 for this. I'm just sick of COD4 at this point. It is too damn easy. I started one profile CTRL_ALT_DESTROY and easily got to 10,000 rank in kills alone. Then I started a second profile, RANGER DANGER! and got back to 15000 in like 3 months. It's just too easy!
As much as I loathe GTA4 I gotta say, you can see how Sony's gameplan is structured around its release. They knew that w/ the release of GTA they would see a lot of PS2 owners convert to PS3. To keep these customers happy and to convince others to convert it looks like they will be showering the PS3 w/ content - Gamer Day, Haze, MGS, and look at all these demos coming out!
And after all that crap that Fanboys talk, all that blind devotion to the 360 - this pretty much blows any argument out of the water. If this really happens than all 360 fans just took another one up the @ss from MS. And what will there response be: "thank you sir, may I have another?"
RROD, No mandatory HDD, XBL fees, lack of storage space on DVD, and now this? You 360 owners must have some swollen @ssholes.
I'll tell you 360 owners what you should ha...
They are already selling the 360 at a loss in Europe and Asia. The 360 is cheaper then the Wii in those region!
Not to mention, with stimulus checks and tax returns coming in, they know they have garaunteed sales. Then we hit the summer when Hardware sales are going to slow down. We're not going to see a price drop until autumn.
Xbox wont get out of this gen intact unless it addresses its lack of storage space. Games are becoming way too advanced to stick to a 10gb standard.
Now, I would have thought they just would have made HDD's mandatory, but it looks like they went a completely different route.
If anything, I think more ppl will just buy PS3's because of this. Buy that time, PS3's will be cheaper than MS could afford to make this console. And who wants to buy the same console twic...

Fable was an RPG w/ training wheels. I loved the concept but the game itself never challenged me. I will admit though, I am a seasoned RPG player.
The first one had potential but it just fell flat. When it only takes 10hrs to beat an RPG you know you're in trouble.
Lets just hope Molynuex(?) can deliver on his promises this time around.
Because 6+4=10. Easier for ppl to calculate %
But yeah, not all games should be multi platform. Coming from a PS3 point of view, I couldn't Imagine what games like Drakes Fortune or Motorstorm would look like on XBOX. Fact of the matter is, GTA4 would have been much longer if it was PS3 exclusive, why do you think R*'s next game is going to be PS3 exclusive.
And why should it matter to you guys how much games sale? You play them, you don't make them.
I bet that's when they are going to drop the haze demo. But yeah, was anyone expecting them to drop anything big the week after GTA released?
I always thought niko was supposed to be a rip off of Jean Reno(the professional)
A whole story dedicated to one screenshot!? How stupid is that. The last Fable was an RPG with training wheels. It took less than 15 hrs. to complete. 1/2 the things that they promised never made in the final game. It was pretty much the halo3 of RPG's.
Until we get some solid proof that this game will deliver on the shortcomings of its predecessor, it doesn't deserve the hype it is getting. Now, if this was the new Final Fantasy, I would totally understand a new screenshot bei...
