I disliked Batman Begins more every time I saw it, though it's still a good movie. Just felt really bloated. I'm really liking that trailer though, the Joker looks perfect.

I'm always suspect of the 'pc is dead' stuff that pops around the console-launch periods. Everyone focuses their attention on those sales and how well they're doing and how bad the PC is doing in comparison, but we keep seeing PC games attracting hardcore and casual alike in droves. As far as I know off hand, World of Warcraft and CS 1.6 are the most played games going. Not to mention the continued success of all of Blizzards past efforts and Valves most recent.
Sure, a 9 year old mod is not the best card to pull in proving a platform is still thriving but WoW is a relatively new game with 10 million subscribers as of recent. Not to mention all the other games with steady fan bases that fall between the cracks. Your Supreme Commanders and Company of Heroes. Not to forget STALKER either, which I believe after a rocky development cycle came out on top of the charts.
And Crysis' low sales doesn't put me into fright mode just yet. I'm not surprised at the sales numbers considering the system requirements and the pretty quiet marketing buzz surrounding it. This wasn't a game your friends were going to buy. I think it's definitely a game that can pick up a 'success' along the way. I don't see anyone taking the graphical crown away from it anytime soon at least.
I'm not ready to accept the PC as dead just yet. Valve still has a lot left to show us with the Half-Life universe and Blizzard hasn't blown it's load on its franchises yet, either. Plus, Spore is on the horizon and Duke is showing signs of life again.
We may only have a select few developers focusing primarily on PC, but I can't really say it's been too different in the past. I dunno, I could be wrong.

still a fan
I'm with ya.
The jokes never got old but I still find it hard to not be interested in the game.

But, best game of 2007? Just seems like a strange title to pick out considering how nuts this year has been with great games.
(mario galaxy takes the cake btw)'
Unless you're a huge C&C fan and it just hits home. ONLY POSSIBLE EXPLANATION.

Quote from Thrik
Is it the same team as C&C 3? Because that's the best game released in 2007.
Your sarcasm better be lost on me. :megaman:

Oh, hello Mapc-...

Wow I actually dug it up. Suck it internet.

Yeah it's all the Shadow of the Colossus colossi as Quakis said. And I think a few that didn't appear in the game.
Quote from QuakisWhere's the original and what's the size of the image? It really does look great. SOTC
I'm an idiot and saved over it, will try to find it again.

Probably the best background image ever.

Quote from Quakis
First screen, building to the right. The window behind that tall chimney/brick structure with the spire seems odd, wouldn't think there'd be much point for a window there, not sure.
Architectural peculiarities are whatever you wan to call them are not uncommon. I've seen far worse than windows not being built in places with the best of views. If anything, it adds to the realism factor.

When a director doesn't have a first name, WORRY.

Been wondering about this myself...

Quick and effective, though no storage setup.

Quote from Mojo
The sound design was amazing, I won't go into specifics (spoilers, etc) but there is a scene where the main character is making a phone call that is just creepy.
Spoilerish
Funny you mention the sound. I read somewhere (after seeing the movie) that there's no music during the entire film. I was pretty surprised by that, never really noticed. And for some reason I think this makes the movie doubly awesome

Quote from Mazy
but LBP was awesome as ever, obviously.
It's going to be interesting to see how people react to it and whether or not it'll be embraced the way I imagine Sony is hoping. It seems like a remarkable piece of technology but I wonder how eager people are going to be to sit down and provide themselves and others with 90% of the gameplay experience.
Also, wtf was with the Vegas 2 trailer. All I saw was real life casino footage

Anyone see it yet? Probably the best movie I've seen to be released in the last few years. And I really liked The Departed.
Completely worth your time to check it out. It's pretty brilliant. Nothing got me out to the theatres for awhile, what with the massive amounts of big bullshit coming out over this past summer (TRANSFORMERS) and whatever other 250+ million dollar movie you can name. It's just nice to know there's always a real film to come along every now and then to put that stuff to shame.

The thing with the colored blocks, which I'm guessing is the editor, looks awesome

Quote from Sentura
a game like this deserves not to have sequel.
Haven't played Drakes but, how so? Sounds like you enjoyed it?
Unless you're referring to something story related.
