Anyone remember fighters megamix? now there was a over the top fighting game ...i mean you could play a freakin car and beat people up !

its getting to the point now with sony that your defending yourself for owning one.

kinda sad. feel sorry for the people who ran out to buy one.


I dont have any of the "next gen" or the last gen either (unless you count dreamcast which technically was last gen) but man i would need some pretty serious convincing to make myself pay for a PS3 at this point.

Ottawa, Ontario , Canada

another brilliant move on sonys part.

i mean whats the point of getting people excited about a system when the stores only getting 2 units? just dissapointment ...only makes sense to support the xbox and the wii in this fashion. clearly sony isnt in this to make money.

Play Beyond ..what they really mean is buy another system cause we dont want your business.

you people act like when the xbox 360 launched all the jostiq news just ignored it.


xboxstiqwii comments when the SECOND a story comes out that trashes those consoles in any way it also appears here.

just get over it and accept the fact that they post whatever news they get a hold of.

even pure news sites like excite and what not seem to have 1 anti sony news story per day. and they usually dont even comment on consoles.

shamans are overpowered

the title should read "sony turns journalists into publicists"

i mean what they are after they are hired by sony is a publicist. theres nothing wrong with that ..its just a different job. if said publicists then try to claim unbias reports in true journalistic fashion then yes we have a problem.


i really dont understand the hate towards joystiq though haha. every chance they get they bash wii xbox and ps3. its just a lot easier with the ps3/sony atm.

i mean go look at the so called multi gamer websites that have bloggers ....its the same shit everywhere. dont try and label joystiq with the standard everyone is using atm. hell even news sites like Excite and msnbc "trash" sony at least once a week. thats NEWS people. if its negative you need to learn to suck it up.

its like news coming out of iraq talking about how many dead while bush claims media bias. its always easy to yell BIAS when the news isnt going your way.

"It's just not even feasible to seperate a dual analog controller with a bunch of buttons into 2 parts, Pierce. I know these fancy new ways of controlling a game on a screen are new and exiting.. even if you haven't tried for yourself (or if you have), but be realistic.

Instead of having to hold a single controller with 2 hands to play a FPS you're now just going to always have your hand pointed at the sensor bar, oh and don't forget to sit exactly in front of the thing either or you will be shooting like a Storm Trooper in Star Wars (all over the place)."

jabber track thats the stupidest thing ive read today. i didnt say you needed to make a duel shock into a two piece controller. i merely said i like having the two seperate controller idea. noone bats an eye at people playing FPS with a mouse and a keyboard so i dont see how this is any different. your hands dont need to be locked into the standard controller grip to play games .

and besides its not like your hands crossover on a dual shock controller. theres no need to have it locked into place. i suppose if you have no dexterity in your hands it would be tough. but then again people with little dexterity usually are pretty terrible at games that require fast reflexes in the first place.

the wii controller and for that matter a mouse and a keyboard proves you dont have to use standard controllers to play a video game. so why are we still using them? i cant think of a good reason cept that noone has ventured into new territory yet like the wii has done. some people see this as a gimmick but i like to think of it as a better way of gaming. some people prefer controllers over keyboard for FPS too. its all a matter of choice ...im just glad someone is finnally giving us a choice instead of beeing spoonfed the same crap again with better resolution.

how can a system fail if everyone and litterally their mother buys it all while nintendo makes a profit every step of the way.

please enlighten us people.

cause to me that doesnt mean failure.

and to the guy who said FF12 looks better than Zelda ....that is EXACTLY what game companies need to be doing. maxing out hardware. if the pos ps2 can deliver a game like that then i really dont see how the wii which is way more powerful falls so short in terms of horsepower. what we NEED (for all systems)is developers to put in the time to make good games instead of the the crap they deliver so consistently.

if nintendo delivers a user base on hype the games will surely come. its cheaper to develop on ..theres more "gimmicks" some might call those "features" to play with ...rumble motion sensing controller addons virtual console etc etc etc. then the developers will come.

how long you think developers will support a system that is having trouble launching their system with even 400k units? user base = more money to game companies. especially when it costs them so much money to make use of the horsepower that ps3 has. it all comes down to making money. you think developers give a rats ass about loyalty? its all about which system will line their pockets more.

the fanboism has grown to levels that is pretty retarded here when people stare at specs instead of the big picture. the PS2 wasnt successful because of awesome hardware specs ..it was the worst of the bunch. think about that a second.

also to come back to the original post. does anyone else find it refreshing that the controller has two peices with a cord between so you can hold it in different ways and move your arms around? i always found it restricting to be playing a game for hours and having my arms locked into that position with the standard controller.

mine was a game i cant even remember the name of :( it was a game on the sega CD where you wandered around this empty mansion and there was butterflies flying around and ghosts... that game creeped me out.
