    The OFFICIAL PS3 Vs X360 Vs Wii

    in Gossip Café [/offtopic]

    Posted

    What does it benefit publishers and investors if ten games are being purchased by a total audience of 10 million 360 owners? It doesn’t take effort to see that a console with an attach rate of 8 and an installed base of 50 million is superior to a console with an attach rate of 12 with an installed base of 20 mln."

    Yeh but if we're comparing the Wii and the 360, it's more like an installed base of 50 million with an attach rate of 0.5, as compared to the 360.

     

    As for the PS3, the installed base is similar to the 360, but with an attach rate of about half as many games per machine.

    Personally I think Midway should reboot the series lore-wise, fire that idiot in charge of lore and go back to old school 2D in HD. Change the system to something like Ninja Master's (unarmed or armed combat whenever you feel like it with little difference on the balance but slightly different combos) and fill it with special moves. Go for M rating and have shitloads of blood and gore and sprites that have visible damage marks on them and there ya go. Also enough of the console-only bullshit, bring it back to PC and give it online play and leaderboards and we're set.

    Funny story; that wanker Ed Boon promised exactly that when Armageddon was announced- it was the last gen dream match before the wiped the slate clean with a new storyline, new engine and everything.

     

    Instead he pulls another Sub-Zero / Scorpion game with the exact same technology as before. But with new licenses!

     

    flock Ed Boon. I hate that man.

    Really? I hadn't noticed it when I was playing it. How did it suddenly change when Warcraft III was released? :peopleseybrow:

    They introduced a 'grand scheme of things' to Warcraft with WC3. Suddenly there were 5 other continents in the world, a million other cheap fantasy races, gods and history that had nothing to with Orcs and Humans fighting, but paved the way for a big MMO.

     

    I'll rant more about it later but play the Warcraft II campaign and then play the Warcraft III campaign straight after and you'll get a jolt from how much more there is to the world and how the style has become a lot brighter than it used to be.

    Transporter 3 Trailer

    The 3rd Transporter film is coming out November 26. I like the series, despite how incredibly cheesy it is, and especially Jason Statham for his cool and the fact that he does his own driving and fighting sequences. Here is the teaser trailer;

     

     

    Any other Transporter fans here?

    What did you play most recently?

    I really don't want to pay full price for that though, even though playing on Live with a real fighter finally would rock. So yeh I might get it.

     

    Grr. Play-Asia was having a sale today- 25% off everything 'in-stock'. I waited an hour and suddenly the EX2 I was going to buy went from 'in stock' to '5-15 days wait'.

    Favorite game of all time?

    I don't have big problems with any of those things- my argument for Sonic 2 would just be that it was a longer cohesive game. Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles on their own don't pack as much of a punch as Sonic 2. They really need to be together to stand as strong as they should have if S3 wasn't rushed out the door.

     

    My question is thus; what is so special about Sonic CD? Having played it years later the whole thing seems less polished than Sonic 2 or 3. The movement is not very responsive, the boss designs are poor, and the whole time travel feature seemed tacked on- palate swapped levels substituting for a larger zone count.

    Thanks Side for the trailer, here it is embedded;

     

     

    I think this looks awful. It isn't an overhaul at all really- this is the PS2-era MK engine rehashed with high resolutions. The animation is still clunky and just plain bad, the modeling is alright but the animation fails it.

     

    Basically for anyone who didn't like MKDA-MKA but are hoping this one turns it around, don't get your hopes up. This was the chance to fix what was the worst fighting engine in gaming, but it seems like that stupid MK Team spent their money on licensing instead of, oh, making a batter game.

     

    Another gimmicky entry in the MK series- it will be just as unplayable and is surviving off the DC hook to get people interested. Sad. Just sad.

    Flagship Sinks

    Yeh I heard about the layoffs yesterday, but they hadn't been officially shuttered yet.

     

    Flagship annoyed me from the beginning. The whole company was a big ego trip and looking at the garbage they produced I'm not surprised they got the axe.

     

    I feel sorry for the folk who shelled out the $150USD lifetime subscription to Hellgate, although they were taking a gamble to begin with there.

    Is this the end of the road?

    At the rate you're going with taking the internet so serious I'd hate to see what 1emu would be like without me. :)

    If putting thought into what you say is taking things too seriously then what can I tell you?

     

    And what would it be like? I'm reminded of last year. Things were dandy.
