I really don't want to start a flame war here, but it needs to be said.
As pertains to your example of the 911 game, do you mean in the same way you can take GTAIII SA and crash planes into buildings or people, or go into any crowd and level them with a gun because it's fun? I'm all for making the author of this game realize that it will never be time to remember Columbine or any other shooting with some sort of game. I also understand that GTA doesn't simulate particular situations, but the ides can be the same...
I do believe that the WWII and other war simulators are a good way to remember the wars because, as it should, the games tend to glorify the heroes. I'm not sure I can think of a WWII or other war game where you play the definative "bad guys." I could, however, easily be wrong.
Makes sense to me... If only somebody had told me that my mouse didn't have any height. Then perhaps I wouldn't have been able to see the light reflect off it... Wonder why I kept loosing it.
Nintendo has repeated mentioned that the chip was based on the old processor. And they'd be rather foolish to just ramp the CPU speed with 90nm production to keep the heat down. Odds are there's enough features and a significant speed increase. Add that to much more RAM and a new sound processor and we're talking about a machine may not produce real-time cloth effects on 50 different models, but enough power for some truely beautiful games.
I could only ask for more system RAM and perhaps another "helper" chip that could take care of AI or physics so the load is lessoned on "Hollywood."
Well, I just use Zelda/Shiek to counter Link's pansy-ass. He's too slow to block Sheik's attacts and Zelda's long distance attacks are nice too. Either that or Daisy/Peach. Nothing like slapping Link or even Ganondorf upside the head with a frying pan!
It would be interesting if Raiden from Sons of Liberty were included as a skin for Snake's charecter (like Ganon and C. Falcon, Roy and Marth). Mostly because many people F---ing hate Raiden and want him to die over and over and over. I'd stick his difficulty on the easiest as a fourth player just to try to get it out of my system.
Well, there's also the fact that the original two Metal Gear games appeared on NES. Yes, you could easily argue it was due to NES supremecy at the time. But you're right, it's about the money. They'll make games for the most popular systems. And it looks like PS3 isn't going to be as popular as its little brother.
I've linked to it once in this forum, but here's some Solid Snake clarification. Konami isn't concerened what system he appears on. Apparently they just didn't want it on the XBox. But he has already appeared on the Gamecube with Twin Snakes (a gorgeous remake of the orignal Metal Gear Solid).
No catnip required. It pees in Snake's hidey box and he can't use it because it smells... like cat pee. Then it wanders around the screen, gets in the way, trips you (nobody really wants to step on a cat), walks across your keyboard/controller, and does whatever the hell it wants until you feed it.
Well, with Mario Kart, I think it has to do with the 'rare' items. They tend to appear more often during the last lap (lightning bolt, blue shell). Whether or not it's multiplayer.
Looking over the forums for the announcement of the name, up to this thread. I can see that people really are "getting it." It's catchy as hell (hmm... lots of underlying meaning there... yikes). As much as you may dislike/hate the name, it works.
Or original Ice Hockey for the NES. Grab to big guys and stick 'em in front of your goalie. Then use the skinny guys to skate circles around the other team!
Normaly I don't read/respond to AC comments, but I'm not sure that the Motorcycle is more likely to kill you. The PS3 weighs in at a mighty 5Kg. Serious head injuries waiting to happen. It could fall or be thrown thrown out a window (I know a guy with a temper).
Downloaded content? Reeks of bull fecal matter to me. Did you read the articles? They said that downloading 'upgrades' for your games was a feasably good idea?! Yeah, I may pay a few bucks here and there for another multiplayer level, but I'm not sticking my credit card into some peripheral every time I need just a bit more ammo in MGS4. I'm not going to use thier online service to pay a 12 bucks for the best sword in Hack-em-up 4.
Yesterday, I was looking forward to the PS3, and wasn't even considering a 360. Now I'm just dissapointed.
I'll get the Wii whenever that shows up, unless it too is an unGodly amount of money...
From TFA "Finally, Sony will unveil a new model of the PSP with new hardware add-ons like onboard storage and/or a digital camera, or, you know. Stuff like that."
Perhaps that means we'll get a power adaptor/new PSP that actually charges when you use it's WiFi.
They didn't change their disision. They found content and changed the rating to what their guidelines would have allowed if they found it the first time.
Agreed. EoE was a "better" ending, but either way, we still f-ing hate Shinji because he's such a worthless turd of a kid. You're right, Aska kicked some major butt in EoE. But what happens to her right at the end is so disturbing....
Oh, and pertaining to the GP poster's comment, I've watch both Evangelion and all of Lain in one sitting (not both in the same sitting). Lain is only a mindf--- if you try to make sense of it. When it comes down to it, all Lain seems to be about is your standard teenage lack of identity which seems to run a lot more rampent in places like Japan where so many people have to live so confined.
I'm thinking if you have a charecter model with a fully rendered nipple sticking out of each breast, you likely are going for the sex appeal, not accuracy. If it isn't going to be seen, why waste time rendering it? Or at least why even show the discoloration? No, the ESRB isn't being prudish. They're just sticking to their decisions.
But then you get those stains all over your tank top. (Eventually known around these parts as a 'wife beater' after so much beer, cheetoes, and coffee have made their marks).

In the third part of the article, Kojima states it's possible we'd see a Wii MGS. E3 this year definatly delivers!
What part will Chuck Norris get?! The Colonel?

I do know that "Age of Aquarious" made me wish I hadn't watched the movie. Pretty well ruined the whole experience.
Actually, I'd mod it "+1 Tauren"

The dupe will be here in a few hours. Why did you spoil it?

is that we are sure of the gender of the main charecter.
