Report: Don't expect next-Xbox announcements this year

Jan 30th 2012 10:46PM (Joystiq)
@Mcmax3000

That's exactly the point... No new hardware + nothing revolutionary = RAGE

Rage fits the bill perfectly for END OF CYCLE game... It looks great, its smooth, and it does absolutely nothing to push gaming forwards.

another reason is the fact that games Like Call of Duty, and MADDEN, run the EXACT same engine for the entire lifespan of the console, and get rich off of it, and we get filtered urine to re-drink... we are not in a world where we need to drink filtered urine... last I looked, we have land under our feet, and choices...

unless of course you like peeing in a bottle... then go for it.

I think its funny that if you mention Call of duty, or Computer gaming, you get down voted immediately.

We all know in the back of our nerd brains that PC is the superior gaming machine... I refuse to play games on mine because its for Photo Editing, and I am not about to mess up a $1300 graphics program to play Skyrim...

Every game that has come out in the last 3 years has been pushing the hardware to failure, and has to be scaled back... Think of how awesome it would be to play your FPS games running at 120 frames, rather than a paltry 55-65... you think you wouldn't see the difference, but it blurs the barrier between reality and cardboard cutouts, we call the current Generation.

This angers me on so many Levels... These consoles have grown STALE... I am not just saying that... they literally have not made gameplay advances in 3 years, and the only thing holding gaming back is the Hardware.

Look at FORZA, Call of Duty, Battleifeld, Skyrim... these games deserve a stronger platform to be built, and its either Going to be PC/MAC or we have to deal with 15-20 fps when memory drops below optimal... BAD CHOICE

Buckle up, this Dirt Showdown trailer may give you whiplash

Not for nothing... but the game is destined to get cancelled... a game like this coming out at the end of this generation of consoles... if its not $15 its a waste of time.

Why Soul Calibur Still (Quietly) Burns After More than a Decade

Jan 23rd 2012 10:39PM (Joystiq)
For Nostalgia's sake, wanting the Original on the new console would go over poorly...

While I loved the Soul Blade game, on Playstation, we neglect to realize, it ran at 15fps, the characters were only 4,000 polygon models, there was no 3D run, and analog was not even considered.

The things I like most about the Original, were the story mode for EACH character, the Bonus characters, Taki's body paint, the ability to disarm opponents, and the wide array of locations and weapons... to this day, I can't remember a Fighting game that offered so much, and truly pushed the genre forwards.

The complete lack of reality, leaves this generation of gamers wanting more... and to be honest, Ragdoll physics are not enough to fix this.

Next time they want to do a crossover game, perhaps Reviving the Bushido Blade Series, and then Crossover Soul Calibur... NOW we have a game.

The GDCA 2011 nominations look strangely familiar

@Mr Hett
Aside from the crackle echos, Battlefield sounds ridiculously hollow and weak... but what do I know, I think Call of duty does as well.

PSA: 'Gun-like' Avatar items disappearing from XBLM on Jan. 1

90% of Parents don't care what their kids are doing, as long as its not too loud, and their grades are good.

Seriously, we live in a world where nobody cares... so we pay people to care... until somebody pays more for them not to care too.

The original rules for the Avatars stated that NON-human heads could not be adorned, no guns or other handheld weapons, no chainsaws, no blood... basically anything that an evangelist could use as fuel.

So they made it too kiddie... then they revamped the Avatars making them a a touch realistic, and allowed ANY avatar stuff to be approved. Raking in the cash. Now Kinect, which I refuse to use or own, is becoming too important... I for one despise the motion gaming... its not relaxing at all... which is the primary use for video games.

New Xbox Live terms of service prevent class action lawsuits against Microsoft [update: opting out not allowed]

Dec 7th 2011 11:27PM (Joystiq)
@Tony Bing
IT can't be enforced, the clause can only deter people from file a class action, because the Scope is too broad, there is no way that it can be 100% binding. thats like saying that this law only pertains to people that are on the planet earth... I am sure you will find someone that can click a mouse while jumping in the air, and Legally say they are in space, not on earth, and that would be enough to get the lawsuit to go through.
