A lot of traffic for something purely speculative and without any factual basis.
Xbox 720? Thats not what theyre calling it. They named it 360 so it wouldnt sound old next to PS3 if they called it Xbox 2. Though NextBox would have worked too. Perhaps that will be the name of the next iteration.
That or Xbox 420...
For those of you screaming about bias, you do know that Kotaku wrote the same article for MS and Nintendo?
I find Kotaku's writing to be funny, and non-biased. Just because people say things you dont like doesnt make them biased. Sorry.
Demon's Souls 9/10
Noby Noby Boy 9/10
White Knight Chronicles 8/10
Flower 8/10
Killzone 2 9/10
Resistance 2 9/10
Valkyria Chronicles 8/10
Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice 8/10
Wipeout HD 9/10
thats some bias...
Whats wrong with those statements? I too agree that FN4 and LP2 have some of the best GFX I have ever seen.
BUt I do notice that you did ignore the common sense questions...because they make sense?
SC FTW
Comparing what is an Xbox game to a 360 game? WHat is wrong with you people? As a big fan of the NG series this is just ridiculous. NG2 is one of the most fluid, fast-paced action games I have ever seen, period. Funny that IGN gave it a 9.0 in graphics, and said this:
"It has to be seen in motion to be truly appreciated… as long as the framerate holds up."
But I never really experienced much slowdown, and the reviewer even states that his is a review b...
A nice smattering of facts and figures from MS. Lets see what Ninty and Sony have to say...
sez MS doesnt innovate? This look really fun, and even has the potential to draw in more of that lucrative "casual" market.
The only problem I also see is what to do about those armed with a "special weapon"...in other words, playing with laptop right beside me with Google to feed me all the answers....lol
Thats a hard number to compare to, with those two franchises being HUGE, but a number of 360 exclusives have had excellent sales, most recently Fable 2, Left 4 Dead, and Halo Wars (especially for an RTS).
With Multi-platform titles included, COD comes to mind, GTA, etc.
But Gears does account for TWO titles this gen, dont forget.
I think this topic might be a bit late, but I guess its still relevant.
Now for KZ2 sales...I see some people cite smaller games that were good but didnt sell well. This is true. But this game was supposed to be the video game equivalent of a summer blockbuster. Or at least thats what the faithful would have you believe.
If Sony indeed intended KZ2 to be a big hit, which I think they did, then the sales have been slightly disappointing overall. They will pro...
agree with both of you. But this is N4G; the SDF is far fewer than you think.
Its really a few people with multiple accounts that agree/disagree, and bubble themselves and each other up.
It always hard to tell these numbers this early, so you can just wait it out a bit. But the numbers quoted here are for the two weeks it has been out, not just February.
Regardless the game is doing pretty well, if you consider that LBP and R2 both had respectively weaker numbers, and that was around the holiday season.
Its not Gears numbers, but I dont think anyone honestly expected that. I think this and Halo Wars will be about even more or less for the first co...
Slowdown on Gears? Wow...I have experienced more slowdown on Killzone than Gears. Which isnt very much.
I thought Unreal 3 sucked? Heheheheh...I guess not when it comes to Bioshock.
Another funny thing...with all the graphics talk lately, I never see Bioshock brought up, which not only looks great technically, but has art direction 2nd to none...
Its completely unnecessary?
On N4G? Nah...I dont see most of them here...there are a few, but none noteworthy...where are you guys?
I think they were too shy to comment...or too busy drinking coffee...
Nice...bubbz
Those are Metacritic scores. JOY just used those to prove a point, but you cant go and just cherry pick the reviews that serve your one-sided purpose.
I somehow get the feeling thats what this article REALLY wants to say, just like the fanatics (like above) are saying.
SE seems about the same to me. They did their best work on the SNES anyhow...though many in here are too young to appreciate that.
There is no doubt that is real-time rendering. Bungie has even said so themselves.
But that one line got me pumped "no more lone wolf stuff outta you"...classic. after the spectacularly awesome ODST vid this year, u have to wonder what they have in store for this...and what about some natal head tracking...
