"Here is an interesting thought about Sony fanboys saying the 360 is the FPS console, it seems to me that the playstation brand has become the Hack N Slash console. Am I right? What would rather play hack n slash or an fps? "

Definitely hack and slash. Can you do combo's in an FPS? FPS's gameplay is not stylish. And why almost every FPS used to be either WW2 or Alien related (but not both at the same time, or neither)? Except some of the (either past or upcoming) groundbreaking ones, which were few (GoldenEye, Resistance, Bioshock, The Darkness, Haze, Timeshift) .


Anyway, that's why it really bothered me to see Ninja Gaiden as an exclusive on the first Xbox. That didn't even make sense! It was a japanese game made for the japanese. Surely Tecmo wanted to sell a lot more in japan by making Sigma solely for PS3, but it backfired on them by not really making it back with tons sales; and why should the japanese tolerate a 3 year old relatively enhanced port from a console they hated? The Japanese surely care about loyalty (See: Nintendo VS Sony and Square in the nineties).
Here's a news tip:

Folkssoul got 8/8/9/8 from Famitsu, 33/40. (Eternal Sonata got 35/40; hopefully we will get it too)
Shouldn't some arcade games price drop already? They've been out for so long.
Mac needs a killer app, not just ports.
As I said in another thread, I hope this backfires to the church of england with a little bit of hate crimes against them. Not specifically signed by Sony fans or anything, simply by anyone as karma payment. You know, just for spite and schadenfreude.
WebMaster, nobody cares. That's not a hit against gaming or Sony. That's not even close to the ridiculous attempts of Jack Thompson to bring gaming down or at least control it.

Seriously, Sony will take care of this, you know how? Doing absolutely nothing, since they're not infringing anything. I hope this backfires with some hate against that church, just for spite.
"Why cant Killzone look as good as the trailer? Gears of War looks even better than that..."

Lol, fanboys. NEXT.
Since he doesn't like the Wii for its lack of online, he supposedly has to "settle" with the PS3, but then again he's not that desperate? Hating on the PS3 is getting old. I've had an Xbox 360 for a year now, but ever since I got a PS3, my (third) Xbox 360 has spiderwebs and dust all over it.

I wonder what the video would be like if Hitler had gotten a red ring of death. Even worse, having to deal with Microsoft Customer support...
Killer:

"The Darkness" will make good use of video, not simply "cut-scenes" but in-game screens will display video.

The point about cut-scenes is not only narrative, but also doing things that can't be done solely with the in-game engine.

Besides, you shouldn't limit developers as in "You can do everything; except cut-scenes of course. THAT you can't do". Blue Dragon uses that a lot, and while it's a multiple disc game (because it's linear), it's kind of proof that you can't do everything without CG (or rather, there is market for that).

Developers of GTA4 were struggling to fit that game on 360, and it's well known it is not a linear game. I doubt it was because of "cut-scenes", I don't even remeber video on GTA3, and I doubt 4 will have (unless they add TV shows, which would be a very nice addition). Anyhow, it's not simply about having 50 gigabyte or 25 gigabyte games only; it's about having more than 9 gigabytes on a single disc.

As for loading times, they are a non-issue, since there's the HDD to rely on. Developers should not be lazy like they were with motorstorm.
Oh, and I'm sorry for saying "morons". I get pissed off so fast (and yes, I know it's ridiculous, for such a silly argument on the net, so save it).
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
