how to go about it all, it seems silly to just port mass effect 2 over, and porting over 1 now that 2 is out seems like a diss to the ps3 audience, I'd think they'd have to port it over and maybe streamline some of the advancements from part 2 into 1 and add in all the dlc, then maybe come out with 2 6 months from now as a port. I'm not sure really, it's not a small undertaking if you want to get the most out of the franchise. If you want a quick port I don't think it will sell incredibly wel...
Okay video looks nice I really like the idea of weapon morphing, it would be cool to create weapons by using them and sell them for extra money. The touch system also looked nice.
But what I really want is:
Coop online gets there own camera, none of this share the camera and have to stay close crap, that killed me.
More story, more actual cutscenes with cinematography, I want quests to feel important. by having more story attached to them.
D...
and it is so warranted after 3 hours I'm pretty sure this will end up being my favorite game of all time. I loved Mass Effect 1, and this so far is better in just about every way you can imagine.
MS got so worried about fixing party chat, which totally sucks that it's gone. and they left in a far bigger problem, allowing people to join a friends game already in progress on the other team, once 2 friends are on oppposite teams they can do whatever they want, like keep respawning to until one gets a nuke. It's really lame. and to prove how much it goes on, go to the bottom of the leaderboards, you'll find countless accounts with names like Player2boost! and they have no kills and 200 de...
They just bought them, what the heck is the point. Stop buying studios and shutting them down EA! I like Pandemic and I'm looking forward to Saboteur, I'm not all the excited about EA Montreal so this just sucks, if it's true, I'd hope they'd give the game a chance first. Mercs 2 broke about 2 million in sales(all systems) I don't see they wouldn't give this title a chance. Unless they'll give the Mercs franchise over to thir other studios to make a cheaper sequel.
First I off I've been playing the game, and its insanely good, just amazing.
Second, yes if MSN Microsoft's own site can give Sony's biggest holiday exclusive a perfect score, can we please stop accusing MS of paying off reviewers to give Sony exclusives low scores. They ripped GameTrailers apart for it getting a 9.3, saying they took a bribe from MS, that's absurd. And I hope this proves it!
Personally I have both systems, I don't care too much about racing sims, although I do plan on owning forza 3 for the livery system. I love designing decals and the storefront option. But forget that, about MS's strategy, I tend to hate these kind of petty comments, yet most companies succumb to them. I don't think they should be used as PR, however, it might be good for MS and Turn 10 to maintain this competitive mindset in the studio, GT has set the bar, it can only make Forza better trying...
I played through all of fallout 3, and did enjoy it, but, it's so muted in color, so dark in doors, no lights, no flashlights, and it's kind o a lonely game when your traveling the lands. I kind of think thats why gearbox draws the comparison, they are saying hey fallout 3 had alot going for it, what didn't work? and how can we make that better? and hence a more vivid art style, more life in the world, and coop so it's not a lonely journey. and I loved scavenging in fallout 3 with the unlimit...
By the time Gt5 comes out forza 3 will be yesterdays news, of course then it'll be 2010 and we'll tablking about forza 4. It's nice to have a franchise that actually releases a game, and not cracks under the pressure of a 5 year release cycle.
it's absurd to defend PD for a 5 year development cycle. people are so quick to defend them, yet if Sony said 5 years is cool to every one of their first party devs, we wouldn't have had Uncharted 1 yet nevermind 2, or most of their other franchises.
You actually knocked Forza 3 for having a two year dev cycle, you must think Uncharted 2 is going to suck then(maybe they should delay that 3 more years, and GOW3 two more years, so they can be as good as GT5).
And be ho...
While I agree it seems silly to put the xbox logo only maybe since there getting early dlc, MS paid for the ads, to push people to get it on the 360 instead. Either way you should be happy it's just advertising Batman Arkham Asylum came out with exclusive Joker content just for the ps3, and then a few weeks later came out with more exclusive dlc just for the ps3, it's kind of a slap in the face to 360 owners. Also Fallout 3 to ps3 owners with the way they handled dlc. So advertising is one th...
yes the game has amazing graphics, and car selection, but that can get boring. I mean maybe if your an insane fan of simulator racing you won't, but I play forza for the decal system and having store fronts online, there is literally unlimited things you can do with your car, and with being able to record and edit videos there is so many cool things I can do in forza that have nothing to do with racing. That to me has a much broader appeal. I wish GT would start adding new features like that,...
this always sucks, it sucked for ps3 folks when Bethseda was delaying ps3 addons for Fallout 3, and this sucks too, except this is kind of silly the content was made for the 360, and it's sold a ton in america, why deny the 360 fans? and not even warn us about this prior to launch. ps3 fans already got the playable joker. I think once you decide your multiplatform stop jerking us around with silly exclusives.
no Street Fighter 2 HD, no Marvel Vs. Capcom 2, no Battlefield 1943, and no Trials HD, other then Shadow Complex they had none of my Arcade Favorites.
I have to acknowledge it's not really MS's fault. like you said it's about profit. A business should charge as much as they can. Why charge less when people will willingly pay more? So what kills me more then anything is people shelling out money for all this overpriced crap. It's the same reason I refuse to buy snacks at the movie theater. and the worse part is if they sold this stuff cheap, i'd probably buy a ton of stuff just to check it out. but they priced themselves out of the check it ...
I agree, it's not mandatory but the downloadable version would have been a nice convenient option. I own more then one 360 and I often trek games and my HD back and forth, the idea of my catalog just being on my HD, is nice. Plus it's annoying to see them trying to charge more for downloadable content,which translate into larger profit margins, then is reasonable when compared to other markets like the buying music for example online. I'm more outraged by the avatar clothing pricing. Again I ...
Honestly the bit about them needing to match msrp in store to keep retailers happy is bullcrap, retailers lower the prices all the time, on NEW games, to sell overstocked items. Retailers disrespect the publishers and developers by selling games used, so what's with this one sided logic? Secondly the music industry sells things cheaper online through itunes then in store why can't MSFT do it?
Plus the software industry already charges more for physical discs then downloaded prog...
I don't know what pricing everyone else is looking at but in the U.S. it says Mass Effect is $19.99, on Gamestop Mass Effect brand new is also $19.99. so they are the same price, now you can argue that downloadable content should be cheaper fine, but it's not like they're charging 50 bucks. everything on there from what I can tell is 20 to 30 bucks.
Whether you like the games or not, it has this great epic feel, with awesome music, the action and effects in a halo movie if their anything like the the cutscenes in halo wars, it would be awesome.And even if you still hate it, I'm pretty sure the movie would be huge. Heck they're making all the 80's shows into movies not one of the biggest video game franchises of our time. Plus it actually works as a movie, not like all these freaking fighting games.
I always loved the crash/destruction element to games like Burnout, and while some might accuse this game of copying that direction why not? What god forbid this becomes a genre? What if there was only one fps on the market? Not to mention Bugbear isn't new to the genre with game like FLatout: Ultimate Carnage(which was a lot fun) We need more of this arcade insanity Ridge Racer has always had great fun controls, but is now too dated to release a normal sequel it needed something new, and...
