The video game thread

[Spaceboy]

Hhhhmmm... I don't know. The main reason Blu-ray won the format war, aside from the backing up of the major film studios, was the sales of PS3. I don't really see how the pricing and models are confusing. They've been releasing different models which mainly differ only on the hard disk space for different prices.

The Unreal engine's working fine in UTIII. I know it's also used in a couple other games, but the names escape me.

Developing for PS3 is not an easy task, but it's been shown that it's not impossible to do. If some companies are too lazy to learn and do it, too bad.

And actually, Nintendo was slightly ahead of PS3 in the last report that was released.

What about the difference in having backwards compatability and not having it? Hmm? Last I heard, unless you buy the highest-end model, you're SOL. And I'd like to think that the major film studios play a pretty big role in the format war, aside from the PS3.
Slightly ahead? Let me know when you can find a Wii on store shelves, I still can't.

At any rate, having an argument about this is stupid. I just like to play games, and eventually I'll probably have all the systems just like I did last-gen. I think they all have their own strengths and weaknesses. They're just too damn expensive to buy all at once.

That is true. I think BC is absent from the current models, and only the 80G model and the 60G one that was launched at the start (that's what I have) have that capability. But to be honest, I don't really see any use for it. PS2 games don't really need to be played on PS3. There just is no point. I still have a PS2, if I ever have any desire to play any PS2 games, I'll play them on that.

Well, that only shows that Nintendo can't keep up with the demand. lol I'll look and find the figure released for Q4 of the last fiscal year. In there, PS3 is only slightly behind Wii.

I agree, there's not much point in arguing about it. Give Uncharted, Heavenly Sword, Resistance or any other PS3 exclusive a try and see for yourself.

I like playing games, too. But given the amount of time that I put into them, it doesn't make much sense for me to have more than one console. I have enough trouble keeping up with the games I have on one.

I couldn't find the piece about the Q4 profits and sales, but I did remember reading this:

Surprise, surprise! I got hooked on CoD4 online. Well, not quite hooked since I still won't be spending too much time playing it, but I've quite enjoyed myself so far.

But jesus fucking christ, are all the rednecks playing this game or what? Fuck!

I was reading through this and I saw someone mentioned the DS. I've had one for a few years now.

I just wish they'd make some fucking games for it instead of all those animal sim games.

My ex girlfriend used to tell me it was like cocaine - "Only the first hit is free." But I suppose it's really free if you don't mind having a crappy looking avatar. My avatar is really cute! I have this cute silver hair and an awesome wardrobe. My weapon is a ball on a stick that you dangle at enemies and a little cat that follows me around will chase the ball and end up scratching the enemies!

I play IMO complex strategic games me vs the AI Hearts of Iron or Civ Conquests. I once asked one of my many psych's why I was obsessed with hours of gaming. He said "when you "win or defeat an enemy" you are getting an endorphin jolt from your own system in all probability.
