Of those I think I'd like Rage more, depending on how boring it's not (looks kind of boring).

Yeah, I don't know where all the compliments are coming from, TBH. Maybe people are wow'd by the graphics or something, but from what I've seen, it looks pretty generic in terms of gunplay. Then again, I haven't seen much gameplay of it.

Sounds correct to me.

Typical, really.

this isn't a BLOG title this is a system war and the 360 system is LOSING the war compared other ones this isn't blog bro plz look at it again its ANTI 360 in the warZarbonX

You're wrong, the PS3 is actually losing. Besides, it's pretty hard to take you seriously after you claimed the Slim 360 copied off the PS3's design.

Too bad Activision will buy them, and kill Crytek.SaltyMeatballs

I don't think so. They already have over 550employees(296 of them are developers) spread across 6 studios. I believe the are one of the biggest, if not the biggest, independent game studios. How they managed to expand so much after only 3 games has baffled me, though.

This-"The time came around where we said maybe this IP, Kingdoms, could be very strong for a first-party platform. We asked Microsoft and they said 'yes, that would be fantastic'."

Crytek asked Microsoft to make the game exclusive that is pretty cool.

Espada12

No they asked MS if they wanted it. It's ultimately their decision to go exclusive or not. Want to bet MS is publishing this and taking the cost and hassle of them having to use EA?

EA only publishes the Crysis series. I think any other games are routed to other publishers.

Stupid crytek seems to have forgotten who has made them rich coughPCcough

God, I'm so sick of everyone whining about that. They're fully entitled to make games for whatever platform they wish.

Dammit. Makes me wish I waited for this. The full-body gloss on the new 360 is annoying compared to the unmarked matte on my old Xbox.

Well we know the 3DS will be awesome, right? Not because of the 3D.
And they aren't even competing with psp but with iphone.

1. The iPhone is small and sleek; the 3DS, by comparison, looks much bulkier.

2. While Nintendo has promised to overhaul their digital distribution system, it will be a cold day in the depth of heck before it ever, ever, ever has something that could be compared to the App Store, or even Google Android. From what we've seen on the DSiWare, we can expect downloads to be both locked to our systems and clearly overpriced.

3. Indie development is easy on the iPhone. The iPhone is an open platform that supports an eco-system of thousands and the difference is clear. As the commercials say, there's an almost certainly an "App for that". Very often there's also a game for that -- now it might not be a good game, because it lacks physical buttons, or is aimed at casual audiences. But the point is that it's very easy to jump into iPhone development.

4. I guess the most important point is the 3DS isn't a phone, so in terms of hardware sales, they're not in direct competition. In terms of software, they are -- in a certain sense -- but the 3DS isn't a phone. It can't make calls (of course neither can the iPhone 4 without a bumper... har har). While the 3DS is low resolution, the iPhone's screen resolution is high enough that the human eye can't detect individual pixels. The iPhone 4 comes with a 5 megapixel camera integrated with LED Flash, capable of recording HD video in 720p with 5x digital zoom. The 3DS has 0.3 megapixel cameras. I don't know whether the 3DS has 512MB of RAM and can multitask, but I'm willing to bet it can't.

Apparently it'll have some form of video chat... but again, it can't make calls.

In terms of multimedia, Nintendo still has to hammer out a strategy. Iphone already has one. They own one of if not the most successful digital libraries of music and video content, and they actually give you two copies when you download something: an HD one (for your computer), and an SD one (for your phone). I'd literally get a heart attack if I saw Nintendo offer that kind of flexibility with their digital downloads.

When it came to storing and manipulating local media, the DS was really restricted. You couldn't even use SD cards to do relatively simple tasks, such as

• View saved photos taken from other devices (such as cameras, phones, etc.)
• Store sounds recorded on a NintendoDSi or NintendoDSiXL
• Copy save game data for games played on Nintendo DS Game Cards

Now with all that said, the DS is a great gaming system. It has a great gaming library. Many people would say that's all that matters, and I'd be inclined to agree. But the 3DS simply can't compete with the iPhone -- the iPhone will continue to get game development and software sales so long as the hardware sells, and the hardware will continue to sell until they have a decent competitor. This is where Sony can enter, putting the full weight of their gaming might, their experience with smartphones, and hopefully embracing portable 3D instead of slamming it because their feelings were hurt by the 3DS's positive reception.

The iPhone is also $1000.

[QUOTE="Ragnarok1051"][QUOTE="the2gamer"] I know that there isnt MUCH info on it... but i definitely am reserving this thread for when it DOES come out ^^the2gamer

It messed up when you started bashing the 3DS in the first post. I don't think this was ever going to go anywhere in the first place.

[QUOTE="the2gamer"]

For now, lets talk about which one we think will have better graphics, sell more, better hardware, etc.

ZIVX

All of those things are secondary without anygames for them right?
