Funny how developers and gamers talk about the enormous additional cost to make console games but we never hear the similar complaints about PC games. These machines have become more and more like PCs yet I do believe console games sell way more than PC in these times.
I would think that if these new machines would be similar in nature to the old ones (like PC) with more power, expanded tools and greater technology with minimal learning curve. Hence why MS is probably staying with AMD. I can't see the cost significantly increasing unless there will be a tremendous shift in technology (which could happen).
My guess, with Natal and all these new TVs planning on doing 3D HD, I expect gaming to probably go that way in the future....if the technology is well received.
I'm an accountant by trade and I love numbers. However, when it comes to gaming I can care less who's going to "so call win" the generation. Aaron is nut but I agree that he hasn't stated anything controversial in this piece.
Sony has squandered so much this generation and I'm in agreement that they probably can't get it back. Its been quite a learning experience for them being in this position for the first time. I give MS credit for doing a better job this generation but they still have a lot to learn.
Ultimately, I still don't get gamers. I want Sony to push MS and I want MS to push Sony. Why gamers can't understand that this is how gamers win. Aren't gamers suppose to be the real "winner" this and every generation?
Funny. I thought this site had more mature gamers but I guess you can't expect every one to be mature. Nevertheless, I've learned a lot from this thread. Seems like people can be multi-console owners but still be a fanboys deep in their hearts. Seems like a number of people both the other console begrudgingly to get a few games they couldn't get on the other console. Since they really didn't want it, now they thrash it. Kinda dumb.
Hence the problem in the world today. People can't respect someone else's opinion. What's the big deal if a reviewer or person has a different view of a game. Sad really, that so many are suspicious if they don't agree with someone else's...opinion. Not facts.
What's even more silly is seeing people go back and forth over a reviewers opinion as if it was a matter of fact. Edge gave it a 7 but I think its a 9 and some may think its a 4. How can anyone say any of those reviews are wrong is crazy to me.
Well, who am I to hate on another man's opinion...won't do it. I really liked this game and probably the first orgininal ARCADE title on any platform that raised the bar. I think its hard to review this game because its quite a bit of an upgrade from the normal ARCADE title.
If you compare this game to other ARCADE games I think its one of the best and in my mind a clear 9 in rating. Its definitely not a perfect game but I'm hard press to find much better. Braid got great reviews and I enjoyed Shadow much more.
Up the difficulty and its a keeper. Most who play the demo no matter their opinion will either get it or think hard about getting it. Its definitely worth the money.....if you are into these kind of games.

Some of you guys are so sad.
