A Lousy Launch of PS3 at Midnight in France ...

After a long wait, yesterday at midnight the PS3 failed to deliver even a decent launch in France (Paris). just few groups of people gathered around to wait for the fabulous machine to hit town ... however, just then they realised how wrong they were to carry all those hopes within them. about tow hours before its launch, there were just few people wandering around and waiting to see the blue-ray promises on screen... but sure, noone had the motivation to buy the machine. people were not sure if that was a wise step to take, and sure it wasn't; for after a while all the fans who had been promised to play and may be try the machine before spending any penny on it, were all let down by Sony's security!! yes ... they were not allowed to get their eyes on a PS3 if they don't entend to buy it... thanks Sony !! more to come when most people were let down by the lousy Organization of the so-called launch-night !!! rows were empty of people, just few who were driven by just the sense of curiosity, no more. Paris was freezing and so the cost of the machine ... and people were caught betwen a rock and a hard place !!! most of them did not have the slightest intention for buying the new machine because they could not see the worth of it; costly and terribly offered! some of them even said that a PS3 at that cost is not worthy because it's already lost a lot of exclusive titles and there is absolutely no need to get one. for the blue-ray... well, people were not at all fooled because they hardly saw the use of it since they are interested in games, not any kind of multimedia platform to play movies and stuff. As the night progresses , the number of people seemed to shrink, especially those who'd had some intentions to buy the machine before. Sony did screw up this time around and what a pity to lose one of tyhe greatest markets in the world for some awkward organization and lousy launch in Europe. all what's left for ony now are its fans, altough, it must have lost a lot of them. however, for the rest community of gamers ... I would say that the PS3 is no more a choice to make for a next-generation machine, simply because Sony lost the trust and respect of most gamers, if not all of them !!!

Resident evil 4 : PC vs PS2

Today I got a copy of Resident Evil 4 on PC and I played it finally. However, I wasn't really satisfied with it because I already played the PS2 version and I'm still playing it in fact, and honestly, the Ps2 version is way better than the PC version; when it comes to graphics the PS2 version beats the PC version pretty hard. The textures and graphics on the PC version are very faint and not as realistic and stunning as the PS2's version. The game play is on the whole the same, although there is in fact a bit of difference in favor of the PS2 of course. The sounds and story are also the same. I thought I would get a greater version from Capcom on Pc but it seems I was wrong. Thank god I have a PS2 version. Actually, RE4 on PC did not turn that bad for a player who's never played the PS2 version or doesn't have it; the game still fun to play, but for those who are to choose between the two version, I really recommend the PS2 version, because it looks better, and plays better and feels better.

Resident Evil on PC

Resident evil 4 is the only game that I wish I played on my PC. the problem is that they announced its release on PC but no exact date has been given so far. I don't really know when this game is going to see the day on PC because everyone I asked gave me different dates of release between august and october. it seems to me that Capcom is either having a hard time to put it's baby on the most popular platform, or may be they are planing to cancel the release of resident evil4 on PC, I really don't understand. even 'Onimusha' and 'devil may cry' did not have a wild release and a few players who could notice that there would be a 'devil may cry' and 'Onimusha' on PC, I mean... Capcom's titles are somehow not that popular on PC like in other platform. Well, that doesn't mean they they have to cancel the release of Resident Evil 4.
