Ugh, yeah, well what ever.

But like I said earlier, there isn't exactly nothing wrong with the consoles, and not especially the games, the game developers are completely different entity , it's the "EVIL EMPRIRE" that is the spike in my side. And it's not even just Microsoft that is the evil empire, over the years, it has become Sony in to that position with their majority marketshare and wacky decisions to go their own way just to try to drop the competition.

But let's play a little game, I can spot that this communitys name is MAPcore, so how many of you have made maps for console games? Aside from very limited Pariah style map editing where you have very limited control over what you can actually do. My beef is that now that PC games success is measured by the size of the modding community and it increases longevity (longevity = more 'bang' for your buck), console games have become shorter and shorter over the years (yes I realise that this one is on the game developers and not the console developers side). While developing games becomes more expensive, I'm not seeing that console games drop in prices, on the contrary, publishers like EA could easily crank the prices up.

But the funny thing is that I'm not seeing this to change in a million years, as long as consumers act as sheeps, the console makers and console game developers can do what ever they want, and then the consumers say "why these games are short and suck so much" and then rush to the stores to buy the next even shorter game with higher price tag.

But what the hell, it's all good as long as people are happy :roll:

I have never played any silent hill nor resident evil game, but some movies are pretty scary.

Flop by my definition means to fail commercially, and whether the new consoles live up to their promises or not they aren't going to do so.

And you think that not delivering what they promise won't affect on sales? Something that did or did not happen to Fable maybe?

Promise more than you can give will affect sales, that is the beauty of marketting, they can lie to customers so that they can grab sufficient amount of first day sales before the word of failure is out. I have still some Xbox tag lines running around my head, especially the same kind of promises are made this time around, like the whole number hype when xBOB was coming out, just put a number that can be divided by 8 and you got a marketting scheme, 256 this and 128 that 512 of those and only 64 on these.

I might be something of a Nintendophile but I like their way, they are promising a completely new interface, to revolutionize gaming (I know it is a load of bull), they did something to back that up with DS with some shortcomings but still it was something completely new. Nintendo has their share of empty promises, but I'm very suprised that they have not jumped the "livingroom multimedia center" -bullshit they know that it is a big market, Sony and MS are using it as a stepping stone and they really are riding that half dead horse like no tomorrow, new multimedia capabilities this and better image that, I have no respect for them.

Sony and MS are clearly exploiting anything and eveything at their disposal and do you think it will stop after they got their console out? Now way, you can bet your ass they will get something together to grab more money like the rumored xBOB HDD upgrade and internet capabilities with Microsofts terms, Sony game us some first hand taste of "fuck up the ass" -soup with their PSP and trallallaa media formats and their decision to go with Blu-ray discs even without DVDForums approval to the form. They are fucking up the whole industry and people just smile and give them their money to fuck it up some more, what is this?

but overall console games sell better than PC games nowadays and I don't think that this trend will stop with the next gen consoles.

Strategically placed terrorist attacks might turn the tide :roll:

Yeah it is true that consoles sell like ganja in amsterdam, but look at money made with internet games and look the charts there, it's something like PC 90% and consoles 10% and this is something I'm not seeing next-gen consoles to change either.

Only then will consoles totally top PCs when they got excellent free internet support without the console developer shoving them to some mumbo jumbo peer-to-peer network and modding support, oh and call them PCs ofcourse

NOW! GO LOOK FOR GOLD AT THE END OF THAT RAINBOW!

When I got the World of Warcraft collectors edition box with all the goodies, I could have tought for a moment that I was a box man myself.

BUT when I got the insult to the industry HL2 DVD box, I said "F that" it had a normal DVD case like the movies, a disc and a two sided paper like in the movies. Now I could have easily lived without that box.

I like the approach where the steam type distributing is marketed towards games and gamers that are heavily in to internet play, and that is actually what I tried to say but failed to deliver.

I don't play that much singleplayer games, when I play I'm on the net 90% of the time, 10% might be games like HL2 singleplayer or GTA:SA etc.

People who don't have broadband or any connection to the internet are not the target market for such platforms so they shouldn't stress about that too much, BUT I agree that with the current way games are gaining on weight from 1cd games few years back, almost every game these days come with 2-3 cds or a DVD, so something have to be done about that.

And ofcourse one shortage comes from console market that is light years away from PC market in this sense.

How will they all flop?

So you have not read or heard anything about these new consoles, besides that they will do exactly the same as the old ones, they just look different?

No, seriously, anyone with a pair of brains can say that the promises the console pushers do are becoming bolder and bolder by the year.

Quote from ReNo

Console gaming is a bigger scene than PC gaming by a huge margin. Fair enough if you aren't keen on consoles, as obviously PC's are better for some sorts of games and if those are your games of choice, its the natural choice to prefer it.

Well the funny things is that I don't have anything against consoles in common, they are great for fast entertaining game sessions and party play with friends, actually if we are completely honest, if my friends are not at my place, or I'm not at theirs, the consoles are not turned on at all, since the only thing these modern consoles have perfected are multiplayer games.

The biggest beef I have with consoles are actually the manufacturers, they make empty promises and when they deliver (like Xbox Live) they charge you with everything at their disposal, the use, the content, everything. The mentality of consoles allow this, in my belowed PC world, I buy one nicely priced game like HL2 or Doom3 (both games that after playing them through, I haven't even touched their single player content with a 40 foot pole) and I get hundreds of like minded players in the FREE internet game and Mods, the console version of it costs 20 euros more and with good chance it doesn't even use the internet capabilities nor multiplayer, and do I have to remind you that if it is Xbox you are paying for the Live you don't even use!

Consoles aren't "gay" and nor do they suck however - if you don't play consoles your missing out on some fucking awesome games.

Yes I know, consoles are not gay, it's their narrowminded, retarded, money hog, incompetent developers.

I play alot of console games with my friends, nothing beats a party with heavy drinking crowd and some good multiplayer game, don't really see me playing too many games alone, the Zelda Windwaker for my GC was the last one.

These next-gen consoles really look promising, now only thing they have to invent is how for consoles not to be so gay and not suck all the time. Come on, who believes this generation of consoles will deliver the hype they have caused?

The only thing I'm excited now is that which console will flop the worst, since they all are going to flop, I mean Revolutionize gaming? Oh yeah, I'm glad that came finally :roll:

HD Gaming? Does anybody in Microsoft even know the meaning of HD? Only thing that can be defined high on that is the amount of bullshit and costs, that is the high definition strategy of MS.

Home entertainment unit with supercomputer processing power? Oh for the love of god, they must be getting more and more retarded every year if they expect people to believe that, it's like the refigerator that could access to internet.

Now Don't get me wrong, there is always a chance that I buy one of those, the one that has the most promising games coming on *cough* PC *cough* sorry there was some COMPUTER stuck on my throat.

As at the same time I'm amazed how GameSpot pulled this out since alot of those images in the background are very popular on various console forums and bound to be seen by literally thousands of people from which several know the maker of the image, well all I have to say is thet they are very proud.

But at the same time, I'm not suprised that they don't give a rats ass about those mockups since they are made from other companies rumored products (which is not illegal atleast last time I checked, but if this continues, who knows ) and especially what I find a problem is that there are literally thousands of fans making mock ups about PS3 and Xbox 360 logo that if those are the real names of the systems MS and Sony could be in lot of trouble trying to make a logo that does not resemble anything previously seen in public forums or website, since that lucky SOB who made that logo would get millions for "sony copying his logo design done in MS Paint", do you see what I mean here.

But obviously MS/Nintendo/Sony have all made the name decisions and logos well before they announce anything crucial about the console. But people have been making mockup logos and systems well before any of these consoles were even announced. And people still wonder WHY they don't tell the public the names of the consoles, hmmm... I wonder why.

If I'm going to put up my own studio we are going to distribute our games through something Steam like platform, but I'm going to wait till the wannabe Steams die and the true ones are going to pop out.

Seems nice but all the zombies look the same, no distinction between any "type" of zombies and with HELL in the name of the game you would expect something more than just zombies.

But I have never turned a mod down before trying it. So if it is as addictive as heroin I'm going to be hooked!

The room is love!

Well one thing I noticed using the Canon Digital Rebel (EOS 300D in europe) and Nikon D70 was that D70 was a tad better than the Canon offering, but that was just a step so nothing for entry level camera buyer should be considered, they both do the job with outstanding quality.

But tables turned pretty fast with the new Canon Digital Rebel XT (EOS 350D in europe) and Canon D20, even some professional photographers jumped from Nikon camp to Canon to use the D20, and I have to say, if you are going to buy a pro-sumer camera, you can't find anything better than D20 it has everything the stone hard pro camera widgets and doohikeys but only thing is that it doesn't have 35mm CMOS sensor.

I myself am going with some medium format cameras and digibacks to go with it, it is the way to go.

Yeah, go back to land trallalaa where you found those "facts", all professional photographers in newspapers use either Canon cameras or Leicas (but leica users are near gods anyway). Every single photographer in National Geographic use Canon cameras, James Nachtwey uses Canon cameras and he takes photos in the middle of a war zone so I think he relies to a camera that works in extreme conditions.

I have never ever heard of such thing you said, but if you can come up with solid proof I can agree.

I sure hope so, but I'm glad I got a backup plan if this EVTEK thing backfires.

But let's just hope the best so that it doesn't mean a year of sad for me

Did they already send those?

Damn if so, I guess I didn't qualify. DAMN!

You racist bitch!

Well I'd suggest that you use this General Discussion right here, since this place is for anything serious non-game related so that is prettymuch everything between heaven and earth.

So if you have a pickle post it here, besides this is so active that you have better chance to get a good answer here than in monkeyman EOT.

Remedy is as finnish as fucking rössypottu, tho I think rössypottu is more from karjala than finland, and in that case, Remedy is more finnish than fucking rössypottu!
