This can't be interpreted into anything other than a bad thing. Attempting to do so is 100% proof of bias and lack of credibility.

As much as I hate EA I'm thinking this is a false rumour. If Madden, Fifa and ME3 ship with issues then its probably a case of typical EA rushed ports. If it gets decent sales they wont want to miss out easy money either.

I love the sum of its parts but not the whole for some reason. MP3 is my favourite just because the combat was more fun.

I only pledged a dollar and I'll probably get one eventually. But I have an iPad 2 so it will need a handful of good exclusives or tablet based games that make the most of the controller. Overall I'm expecting old school experiences but I'd also like to play games similar to the likes of NOVA on it. Its definitely not going to compete with the big 3 and that's fine, its just a cheap alternative but fresher.

I do not think so; at least, if hisory repeats itself.

Ouya's model was tried before - the First generation of video game consoles. Atari did not have any control over the games that were not first party. All you needed was a computer that could write the code, and you could make your own games. This ended up being a huge issue because inevitably there were 100s of incredibly crap-tastic games that came out for the first generation systems in the early 80s. It ended up causing Atari's downfall, and was a main contributor to the great video game crash of 1983.

Nintendo saved the industry with the NES - not just by creating new and innovative titles, but also by forcing all game developers to pass Nintendo's QA.

With Ouya, the Atari (and ColecoVision, Odyssey, and Intellivision for that matter) business model is being applied: open source game development. History has proven that is not a good thing.

Were those Atari homebrews being sold at full retail price though? To an unsuspecting market without the benefit of user reviews or the internet? The beauty of this model is almost risk free pricing and a global word of mouth.

[QUOTE="tomarlyn"][QUOTE="Grawse"]Yeah the controls for MGS3 are a nightmare, can only imagine how bad it will be for MGS2, They should have given those games MGS4 controls :(

Most iPad games I own have better aiming/firing mechanics.

What?? MGS2 has great controls and I reckon MGS3 had some serious camera problems but they were fixed for the Subsistance version, which is included in the HD Collection.

The camera angle was never my issue. The layers of complexity to perform basic actions was. It wasn't enjoyable to play, which is what Splinter Cell excelled at until MGS4 came along.

[QUOTE="tomarlyn"]A simple HD facelift released digitally would satisfy me. I'd prefer MGS 2 and 3 to be remade with MGS 4's controls. I never finished those because the control schemes are so bad, don't know if the recent re-releases fix things though.Grawse

[QUOTE="tomarlyn"][QUOTE="soapandbubbles"] Play MGS3DS then, pretty much the same controls/view as MGS4. GreenGoblin2099

Sweet, just need a 3DS. Hopefully MGS2 turns up on there too then because I need to experience the story. Even after reading the MGS4 database and finishing the game I'm still confused about some stuff. Like who the hell is Sunny?

Why not the HD collection??

Don't have a Vista yet either. Does it control the same as the PS2 versions or more like MGS4?
