With the ps2 I know you did, probably not on purpose. But there is no way I beleive that you never boughta garbage title for ps2. I trust the 360's library enough to be blindfolded and then pick out a game. bluebrad1974

Just hope you don't end up picking boomberman.

The TGS2006 MGS4 trailer, when Young Snake is revealed he has brown eyes. Weird.DaysAirlines

That's actually quite interesting. Plot thinkens. I hope this is not just some developing mistake. No I doubt it is.

Oh i KNOW you lemmings are talking smack?! Need i remind everyone of the Elite??? And to top THAT off...HDMI going into Core and Pro consoles?!?!

Wasnt that the Elites prime selling point?!

The features in the Elite do not effect gameplay the features in the Dual Shock 3 on the other hand will. Buying an Elite will not change your gameplay experience the addition of Rumble will.

/Thread? Don't get ahead of yourself rookie.

How about MS saying that games will actually need HDD?

SSBB, never been into the games.

Crysis, great graphics but there's something about it that still doesn't get me in.

Blue Dragon as well, it looks like more DQ to m, which I don't like.

ME, I just don't think it's all that great, maybe because I'm not into scifi rpgs for some reason.

Halo 3, Uncharted etc...the list could go on... Not saying I wouldn't enjoy these games but certainly not that hyped by them.

These threads are always summarized into Halo, MGS, FF, GTA, Zelda etc... The most popular ones, go figure. I'm surprised there wasn't more ''Mario'' in this one.

This has been posted too much already. I'm not hyped by warhawk whatsoever so I don't care. It's a really funny coincidence though.

No matter, this is SW and the 6.5 is what people are going to listen to.funnymario

It's how this works. If positive things are being said about a game everyone tries to bring that down and say how it doesn't matters here on SW. But if it's something negative everyone screams how much this game is a''FLOP''.

Nice long read.

There are way too many factors over this. For example there are series whose gameplay mechanics tend to age better than others, some might go with the same core gameplay while adding enough new features and still be awesome. On the other hand others, even if they are good, might not age as good and sequels feel stale.

You also got the factor of a game as a product of it's own and as a franchise. RE 4 which is a good example. Even if that game might not feel like it kept much of what the series stood for, it's nonetheless a great game on it's own. Then you have a series evolving into something new.

You mention Square's spinoffs situation. I think that fanbase comes into place now, Square is actually getting some fire for making all those spinnoff but as you said they still sell due to the huge fan group that feels attached to these games.

Not sure what you imply by Bungie tried a different approach.

So either way it's been take something, leave the other option behind when it comes to this.

I think the ideal way that publisher/devs. should work that out is taking long standing franchises and split them in two. One side that tries to ''revolutionize'' them and the other that keeps a similar approach to the roots. Even though I'm not sure how viable for them that would be.

[QUOTE="mazdero"]It doesn't matter which one outscores which, Neither of them better outscore Bioshock. If they do, then it will be official that Hype>great games. COD4 is nothing more than the same formula in a different era. Halo3 is, well Halo. If you're expecting something revolutionary, you will be disappointed.FrozenLiquid

Bioshock isn't revolutionary though. So why does that get preference over the other two?

Could be be that despite that, Bioshock looks more interesting and compelling?

Anyways if I had to pick between CoD 4 and Halo, I'd take Halo.
