Epic wants 40 UT3 maps, ponders platform-exclusive content

Feb 4th 2007 1:44AM (Joystiq)
I'm mainly console gamer since the dawn of time and when i think of one of the best features of PC gaming it's user created content. Only problem i see is that the products are excellent and free. How are the companies going to make money?

Nvidia: saying graphics don't matter is 'nonsense'

Feb 3rd 2007 6:41PM (Joystiq)
Well i'm a grafx whore that likes good games. On 360 we have both. All the great looking games play very well. Oblivion, GOW, GRAW, COD2 all look pretty great and play very well. I couild accept wii in standard def but it lacks more than HD it is what i call retarded and sickening. Can the Wii match Xbox1? I'm not convinced but i think it needs to do this to justify it's existence. Control is the only other aspect as vital to enjoying a game and the Wii-mote is unproven. Wii-sports is very shallow and boring. Top spin or tiger woods golf leave it for dead! Zelda would have been better played with a wavebird. Wii makes me vomit. Oh yeah, shortly after getting HDTV i realised 720p would not be enough. Neither will be 1080p. There will never be enough resolution or horsepower or memory. And I'm far from convinced that wiimote is the end of controller evolution. It's too crap.

Graphics are what this gaming thing has always been about. Controlling lights on the screen is fun and the prettier the lights the better. If it is not about graphics then it is about the method of control of those lights. Good sound is the third pillar of this holy triumvirate.

Rumor: Next-gen N-Gage garners interest

Jan 31st 2007 12:15AM (Joystiq)
N-gage had a certain something... Sidetalking! While it was very embarrassing to talk into a taco shaped phone and it hurt your ear i had fun. But then i pirated all the games and still felt a little ripped off. Pathway to glory was a great gqame if you like war and strategy that was very good. So yes the n-gage sucked but i liked it in a sucky kind of way. N-gage 2 needs a camera and a widescreen ratio. Fuck that was retarded thinking you could play games with a portrait style screen. Don't these bastards ever ask anyone about anything before investing in a multi -million dollar project?

A current look at the most well-designed game consoles

Goldstar 3D0 looked rad with M2 64-bit hardware upgrade. Oh, that's right I'm dreaming! Curse you Trip Hawkins!

Nintendo trickles out Q1 games list

Jan 23rd 2007 6:10PM (Joystiq)
Logan's comment was on the money. Sell your Wii and repurchase when the library is established. We all know how painful it is to watch the games trickle by with nary a quality title amongst them. As for people who think there is already too much excellence you are the best customers ever!

Note to Sony and Microsoft: Nintendo is your competition

Jan 22nd 2007 7:06PM (Joystiq)
Unfortunately for the Wii it does not seem to have matched the grafx or sound of Xbox 1. I would think it would need to achieve this to be up to date. Initially I was hoping for grafx a little bit worse than 360 running in SD. I was dreaming. And dreaming is what Wii owners can look forward to a lot of. Can someone mention a use of the remote that is superior to gamepad? When playing Zelda i wanted to use a gamepad. I have big man-hands and found the nunchuck uncomfortable. I realise that this systemhas found new followers in the same way the DS did but what about the cost of alienating traditional fans? Maybe we'll return when the library fleshes out over time. I also don't buy the notion the system is cheap. For example i just bought 360 premium for AU$600 with PGR3.
A wii with component cables costs AU$440 without a game. Oh and another $50 for the wifi USB adapter if you want to get online. The Wii is the only videogame console I have ever bought and been unimpressed and disappointed. How did Nintendo manage that? Oh and in case you want to call me a fanboy of any description here is my gamers resume:
Atari XE (I won it in a competition,okay!)
Sega master system
Sega Megadrive
Atari Lynx
Super Nintendo
Goldstar 3DO (Lol!)
Sony Playstation
N64
Gamer PC
Dreamcast
Gameboy Advance
Xbox
Gamecube
Nintendo DS
Xbox 360
DS Lite
Wii
My strongest bias has always been anti-sony you will notice i missed all the great and cheap games on PS2. However if PS3 can offer things 360 doesn't I might go there because I'm not afraid to admit to being a grafx whore because this seems to be a cornerstone of the industry. Grafx are still important for example the DS lacks power but the grafx are great what other system nails 2D this well? I don't think Wii does trhe same thing yet. Just my 2cents if you're sister is happy then good.

This Sunday's newspaper circulars promise Wiis

Jan 18th 2007 11:27PM (Joystiq)
Ok Wiitards! I hate to have to get rude but here goes. The Wii is overpriced. It's low tech inside the sleek box. Shiny sexy box is great but i prefer ugly with grunt. The Wiimote is uncomfortable and I would have preferred to play Zelda on the Cube. Wii sports is like vomit on a disc. The Virtual Console is way overpriced, I have too much pride to pay that much for genesis games that can be found online for free. And the final insult is the software drought which began as soon as the disappointment of the launch titles was over. Red Steel was gonna be so rad remember? Anyway don't take my word for it. What would I know? I've only had every nintendo console bar VirtualBoy. Anyway that's enough trolling. I'll just sit back and wait for all those undecided Nfans to transfer money to my pocket via magic. Flame on!
