UK game industry beats Japan, takes second place

Yeah, while being forced to play sports games is my personal hell, I would rather play a soccer video game then an American football one. At least soccer games have flow and don't stop every five seconds.

But again, I would rather chew my own arms off than play FIFA games for more then a few minutes at a time.

You didn't like Goldeneye?


GTFO! You do not belong here!

Then you havent LIIIIVVVEEEEDD!

Why? The PS3 still has many of the titles the 360 has. Which ironically is why I got the 360 becuase it was cheaper, but you see my point.

I think thier main interest is the DS, or maybe technology has improved so much in Japan they no longer use gaming consoles like they used to :D I have yet to try that fancy toilet :P

a sorry for the double post. it didnt show up before. invisible powers to the win.

Wow was my comment off topic! I've done been edited. Damn son.

aw. He did ask.

@Killr0y, It's not something thats really studied too much here, history is schools mainly focuses on WW2 and the likes of the slave trade (at least it did when i was doing it). There were points when they breifly mention details on the War of Independence (they possibly mix it around so not everyone is learning the same thing every year, so people may study it in more detail).

Whatever the situation though, its taught with details of us LOSING the Revolutionary War.

I dont think theres any reason for briefly studying only small aspects of the build up and then how we lost, just that Britains history is so great that they really dont have time to go into depth with alot of points as they need to cover oher things. Although we did learn about America during the early 1900's - the boom and subsequently the depression which followed (along with prohibition etc).

Let's take Mirror's Edge for X360 as an example:

Ordering it from Amazon.co.uk would cost me £24.72 with 20% VAT (Portugal's rate) and shipping included.

£24.72 is, at current rate, €27.84

Here in Portugal the same game goes for €64,95 = £57,66 = US$83,84

@ t_m

It's not cash you need, it's the talent. Yes, there are many great UK actors, but far too often the UK movies have the cinematic look of a Dr Who episode. It seems there aren't too many UK filmakers who know how to make a movie look like a big budget movie. Probably why so many of them are sucky romantic comedies.

You mean like Ridley Scott and Tony Scott? Yeah, their movies always look low budget.

UK movies look low budget because they ARE low budget. But half the people working on Hollywood movies are british... heck, watching star wars is like watching a reunion of old english extras from my childhood tv shows... but none of the money gets plowed back into the industry.

I note that now Eidos has been bought by SqEnix... so even if all the game buyers and developers are in the UK, the profits are gonna be going to japan. sigh.
