Freakin money grubbing sony...serves them right then, that their stock dropped 7.21%...but then again, it looks like they might need that extra ps1 dough.
Armored Core 4 demo on japanese marketplace, go gets it!
I think its awesome.
DDR? Guitar Hero? Lame. All of them go lame in comparison to this:

The Wii Loop Machince is just another example of "you couldn't do this with old video games". I've never been a fan of DDR, Guitar Hero or any of those play music genres, but my roommate had to throw me out of his room at around 3AM last night because I was having so much fun with this thing.
If you have a Mac and a decent library of music loops (any artist should have songs, recording equipment or can use GarageBand or other programs to make them) then you should buy a Wiimote and try this!
Essentially it's using the Wiimote as a Bluetooth device to actively DJ and create beats. The video on the site shows an example, and the free software is pretty easy to use for something still so far in development. Software comes with basic loops that the developer used, but you can easily load your own loops.
I think it's cool, and offers a shit ton of promise for the future of interactive games.
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
I need some help with choosing a console. I'm currently shifting between the 360 and the PS3. Wii is not really an option since Rock Band won't come out on that system, and also I have a DS and the Wii feels like the same thing just bigger.
I don't care about the price, since a console is a long time investment.
I hear people saying that there are no good games for the PS3, which is true... but the same is true for the 360. I don't like FPSs and Sports, and there are like no other types of games on the 360.
I would like to hear about the PS online thing. I've tried xb live and it's quite solid, but it costs as opposed to psonline being free.
Also from what I've read it seems like the PS3 has much better connection capabilities. The 360 doesn't even have HDMI right?
The feeling I have so far is that it isn't worth buying any of the systems yet.
I don't have a PS3, I've never played on one, so I'm clearly biased with my 360. Please take that into account in this post. Someone with a PS3 can make a case for that, I'm not qualified to criticize it appropriately.
Xbox Live Arcade is a great way to build up a library of cheap (average 400 points) games. There's a huge variety too. Board games (Catan), Shooters (Alien Hominid HD, Assault Heroes), rhythm games (Boom Boom Rocket), Puzzle games, and even full games from past generations (Mortal Kombat, Castlevania: SoTN though they do cost more). I've got a lot more XBLA games than I do actual discs.
The rentals and TV shows that come in HD are nice (I never waste money on them though because I don't have an HDTV). Xbox Live is currently one of the few, if only, online distributor of HD content. They have anime too (dubbed, but still).
The genres of games on disc is expanding rapidly. The first game I got with it was Tomb Raider Legend. Short game, but certainly the best Tomb Raider game I've played since 2. MS has also realized their library was a little too centered to the American audience with 1st and 3rd Person shooters, so they've started getting into the j-rpg market with Eternal Sonata, and a few other quirky games, like Katamari.
The demos are probably the best part of XBL. They'll put out a few demos of some anticipated titles, and they're usually about 30 minutes of gameplay. It's a pretty good way to gauge whether you want a title. It's the reason I made sure I bought Bioshock, pre-ordered Eternal Sonata, and decided that 99 Nights was garbage from the poor gameplay and worse localization.
There are downsides to the 360.
There are all the hardware issues. The 360 must be properly ventilated, with plenty of space for airflow around the vents and sides. The ring of death comes from people stuffing the thing into entertainment centers. Not everyone has these problems. I'm still on my first, and it sits next to my tv on a hard surface, well off the ground. Never tilt the console while it's on (why I'm on my second copy of Dreamfall).
The peripherals are not cheap. The controllers are pretty standard cost, and the battery life is great. It's the other things that kill you. If you buy a lot of the HD media (and never delete demos) you'll need a bigger hard drive. The 120 is worth it if you do (my friend got one), but it's very overpriced. The wireless adapter isn't cheap either. Mine works great, but at $100, it's expensive.
Several features don't work outside the US. I'm not sure which, but the digital media is the big one. That's due to asshole licensing laws from the Unites States.
The demos are indeed a pleasant feature, but psn has that to I think. If anyone has a ps3 please share how psn works.
The 360 elite is still cheaper than a ps3 so that would solve most of the problems you've mentioned right?
I've read some e3 coverage and such, and I would say that upcoming games for both ps3 and 360 are equally good, but I've been a long time follower of the ps exclusive franchises like ff and mgs.
There are absolutely no good exclusive games for the PS3 out right now. If you buy one right now you will be sitting on a pile of shovelware until Metal Gear drops in mid-08.
That's why I said upcoming games. But like I said, the 360 has the same problem, you sit on just as much "shovelware". I mean name one exclusive 360 game that makes the console worth buying. Actually when I think about the only upcoming exclusive 360 games that seem interesting are Lost Oddyssey and Mass Effect. Admittedly there aren't that many upcoming good exclusive releases on the ps3 either, but the argument that there are no good games for the ps3 just doesn't hold when the alternative is just as bad.Originally Posted by Y

As Assertn said in so fewer words, that's fairly uninformed.
I recently got Metroid Prime 3, and I also have Bioshock for the 360. The amount of immersion provided by the atmosphere in Bioshock is impressive (even more with 5.1 sound), but it cannot even compare to the level of immersion you get from the wiimote and nunchuck.
Resistance, Heavenly Sword, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, MotorStorm, and Warhawk all say hi. BTW Metal Gear is early 08.
Anyways to go into the whole PSN thing, it offers everything XBL offers except a unified in game friends list and the ability to rent movies atm. If a game is multiplatform you can expect to see the demo on the PSN only drawback is that XBL seems to have the demo's first since they update whenever and the PSN is only updated on Thursdays.
(Aeon's Top 5 Anime ATM)One Piece,Shakugan no Shana Second,Gundam 00,Naruto,Bleach
Basically, the DS and Wii have less in common than PS2 or PSP has to PS3
10/4/04 - 8/20/07
Please heavenly sword en motorstorm are hardly GOOD exclusives, both ok games, but definitly not as good as ppl make it out to be.
Sigma exclusive? c'mon, its the same game except prettier and easier, and no we dont care about rachel.
That leaves you with resistance and warhawk, or better yet go look at the list i posted earlier.
PSN also doesnt offer a demo with every arcade game, all arcade games can be demoed on 360, PSN also doesn't require intergrated voice chat for online play, so games like armored core 4 on ps3 don't have it.
2007 is pure fail for ps3, PSN remains lackluster, multiplatform devs will always favor 360 ( easier to work with, bigger user base, cheaper console ).
So even for 2008, which looks to be a very redeeming year for ps3, it will remain a hardcore gamer's console.
Im totally biased towards a PS3... even though I still don't own one. Anyway... this is the list of games Im currently waiting to buy or to be released...
So like... Im not interested on getting an Xbox360, but will surely get a PS3 next year... a PSP at the end of the month... and already own a PS2, Wii and NDSCode:PS2 .hack//GU Vol 3 - Redemption Already Out Exclusive Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix 2 Already Out (Import) Exclusive Ar Tonelico 2 TBA Exclusive Soul Nomad 24 Sep Exclusive Wii Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles November07 Exclusive Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Wii TBA Exclusive PSP Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core TBA Exclusive Jeanne D'Arc Already Out Exclusive Final Fantasy Tactics Lions Wars October 07 Exclusive Final Fantasy 20th Anniversary Already Out Uberport...

PS3 likely. White Knight Story TBA Exclusive Makai Wars TBA Future unsure Resident Evil 5 TBA PS3/Xbox360 Disgaea 3 TBA Exclusive Tears to Tiara TBA Exclusive Agarest Senki TBA Exclusive Eternal Sonata TBA PS3/Xbox360
:P
The day MGS 4 is released...... shall be the day I take a PS3 home.
"Our hearts are full of memories but not all of them reflect the truth. The heart isn't a recording device. Even important memories change with time. They warp or fade, leaving us with but a shadow of what we hoped to remember." 天の道を行き、全てを司る。これは僕の世界。
Whoa whoa whoa! What is this I see on Ryouga's list? Kingdom Hearts Zero and Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories 2?? Someone care to explain these? I haven't heard of any other Kingdom Hearts game in the works besides 3, obviously because of the trailer at the end of KH2.
I'm also waiting on the PS3. As much as I hate to admit it, Sony did not fare well this year due to the price tag and the lack of games. Although I think it has the chance to get back on top in 2008, that's when all the games I'm really looking forward to are coming out. I will be getting one, of that I'm sure (probably when MGS4 comes out like Psyke). But 2007 wasn't the time to get it imo. For now I have the Wii so some of the games I'm looking forward to are:
Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles
Bleach Shattered Blade
Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Nights: Journey of Dreams
And of course any game from the past that shows up on the Virtual Console that I really enjoyed back as a kid I will probably get.
If I ever decide to mod the Wii so I can play imports (unless there's a freeloader Disc for Wii), I want to get:
Suzumiya Haruhi no Tamado
Mobile Suit Gundam MS Front 0079 (Click here to see it on gametrailers.)
This fantastic Sousuke sig was made by the one and only Lucifus! Thanks man!
Scan for KH Zero...
http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k8...son/up0022.jpg
Its supposed to be officially announced this Tokyo Game Show... and will focus on the past... Roxas' past it seems.
I was kidding about the wii. It seems fun enough. The problem is though that I don't have as much time to play games anymore, so I will only have time for one console anyway. And as I said I must have Rock Band.
It seems like the general consesus is that it isn't really worth buying a console now. So I will probably wait till next year. I can beef upp with a new tv and sound system while I wait.
Btw are you using some webpage to generate those upcoming games list?
