Edge of Blade

MattB:

Only 6 mil by the end of the year would cause me and the media to pick up shovels and start digging a hole. 6 million would be a MONUMENTAL failure.

First, Sony has to lower those prices.

Second, use the lower cost per unit sold to build a time machine.

Third, bring those games that everyone feels compelled to list to justify PS3's existence from the future to the present.

I've said it a million times. Stop telling me what is coming in X years is worth me spending $600 now. I don't buy into that logic. For one, price might drop before then. How stupid would I look for subsidizing a price drop for everyone else in the world...

"One other thing...
The animations look NO different to me at all."

And what were you expecting? How do you improve running, shooting someone, or hitting them with the butt of a gun. Did you want them to jump with a flip? How about replace the melee with the takeofftheirhelmentandbeatthemtodeathwithit button? How many ways can you really improve animations in a game like this?

OR you can spend time on the things that matter more...

...just an idea.

@Jebus Crust:

I can definately imagine PS3 NOT selling because of the games. I still don't get why Sony fans STILL trust Sony's word after so many lies. I also don't get how someone can spend $600 on potentially empty promises.

I can also imagine droves of unsuspecting gamers buying a PS3 to play around in Home, clearly a NON-game. And thereby building an install base.

Is it just me, or is that a little less than honest way to sell a "video game system"?

For those too stuck up admit the Halo is a thriving franchise and that Halo 3 looks better than Halo 2, let me spell it out:

1) Disapproval does not equal discerning. On a related note and for your own protection, lower that snooty nose before walking in the rain.
2) FPS' are not for cavemen, you neck-cracking, pipe-climbing, earpiece-wearing wuss. Don't pretend that because you use stealth or take turns hitting each other that you are some how less barbaric in your video games.
3) Microsoft is not the anti-christ so stop treating them that way.

One thing this video shows is just how well Halo 2 was done. Now, before anyone else bashes the graphics on some twisted sense of "principles", this games value is in the playing. JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER GAME WORTH PLAYING!

Joe:

All you have to go on is blind trust for Sony, which hasn't historically turned out very well.

Now, if you might can the bloated superlative in your comment, maybe we can see this game for what it is...another bullet on the "Buy PS3 NOW because games are coming LATER" gag. I'm not going to buy a system based on anything except what games are out NOW. Not LATER. Sorry Sony, you have to earn your install base...and not with what you did last gen.

Doerr:

Can you even go 24 hours without going "into a schoolgirl-like shrill-fest" over the PS3?

"So what made you think we wanted more?"

@Gamble20:

You're damn straight this question doesn't belong here.

If you believe the smear campaign like a good little Mac Addict(TM), then I'm sure it looks that way. The Mac vs. PC marketing is unconscionable, unmitigated bullshit, and the sad truth is that people believe it.

It's like I keep telling people: do you want a piece of manufactured consumer electronics, designed, marketed, and sold to you like you are an idiot; or do you want a real computer with real support, minus the smear campaign. I've seen Microsoft put their money where their mouth is, while companies like Sony and Apple pump up the marketing to bridge the gap.

Honestly, do you think that anyone that has a Mac is part of any serious "revolution" at this point in time? How do you think MS got 90% market share? Why do you think people hate one billion dollar corporation over every other billion dollar corporation?

Fanboys. The lot of them.

I hate to rain on your parade fanboys, but this is an excellent example of Sony playing catch up and flooding you with irrelevant bullet points to make up the rest of the difference.
