sucks alot of studios from ps1/n64 days are dead or arent making next gen games because too expensive?

Crystal Dynamics is still around too.

This makes no sense at all. Sony are doing well. This is sounding like the fanboys who hated on Nintendo during the Gamecube era. Sony isn't going to be bought by either Microsoft or Nintendo. The people who think that is possible are delusional. And the people whowant that to happen are self hating gamers. If that somehow happened, it wouldn't be good for gamers. Competition drives innovation. 3 choices are better than 2.

Is it just me or does anyone else wonder why developers like Rebellion keep getting new IPs to work on, all of which have turned out to be bad games, yet we never hear about them having financial trouble? Free Radical, Pandemic, Factor 5 are three developers that come to my mind when I think of a great developer who has made great games, but then makes one bad, subpar, etc, game like Haze, Mercenaries 2 or Lair and boom they instantly go under. Yet there are terrible developers who keep getting work despite the fact that they have never made a good game. High Voltage Software, Rebellion, are the first two that come to my mind that continue to make awful games yet never go under. I would add Grin, but they finally went under awhile back after making nothing but a long line of bad games. So why does this happen? Good developers that are known to make great games make one bad game and end up going under, but bad developers keep on making bad games and still survive.

The game is amazing and is truely the Unreal Tournament 2004 of this gen.

It shows what a PC built fps without any console setbacks in game design is capable of.

The game is better than Halo, CoD, Battlefield 3, and Resistance.

Truely the best fps this gen and superior to all console fps.

I'm glad you have an opinion. You should word your messages differently though. This message seriously sounds like you are overcompensating for something. Tribes: Ascend certainly looks like a good FPS. I personally am not into PC gaming. I am not wealthy enough to buy new parts for it every couple months to stay up to date with the specs and I certainly don't want to have to keep up with these specs just to play the games I would want to play. But for PC gamers who enjoy it and can afford it, more power to you to enjoy it. I just don't understand why anyone would say something is better than something else when that's purely a personal opinion.

Like I said, if you are a PC gamer, more power to you. Heck back when Call of Duty was only on the PC I wanted a gaming rig. I'm so glad I waited though because the initial price, and then the price to keep up with top specs for me just isn't worth it. I'm a console gamer because I like being on the same specs as who I am playing with/against.

They planned on doing a world wide launch...remember that little event that happened...that small little 8.0 earthquake...think that might have disrupted supply lines and production a little bit...Mavlow

I didn't realize Nintendo or Sony had production facilities were the Earthquake took place. I remember both letting people know in a press release that it wouldn't effect what they had already planned. But if that was the case they should have pushed the release date back to February of 2012 like it is for everyone else in the world. I understand it coming out in Japan first, but why release it a few months after that everywhere else?

No game company ever does that.nintendoboy16

Microsoft, I know has. If not on the same day, within the same week or month.

Something I don't understand is why they released their handheld PSVita in Japan months before it hit anywhere else in the world. I gurantee that if they had released it simultaneously around the world, we wouldn't be so worried about how it is doing in Japan right now because it would be doing better and worse in other parts of the globe. Then we wouldn't be getting all of these "Sony iz teh doomed!" threads that idiots keep postiong on system wars. I don't understand how they could want Sony to go under, or Microsoft or Nintendo. Or even PC gaming for that matter! Competition drives innovation, so I don't understand how so many fanboys could want any way we game to go under. It just makes things worse for us gamers. But back to my original point, could someone please explain to me why Sony didn't release worldwide, instead of in Japan months earlier than everywhere else? I could understand a few days difference, but months?

I hope no one doesn't buy the game based on that. That seems like a terrible reason not to buy it. I don't like the switch either, but I'm also going to buy it. I had to do the same thing with the switch in voice actors in Infamous to Infamous 2.
