  1. Re:Differences between Reviews and Previews on Final Fantasy 10 Released in Japan · · Score: 2

    oops...This is what my original post should look like

    There are differences between previews and reviews. None of those sites you mention didn't have any reviews about the game just previews/impressions. The only "major" publication that reviewed Final Fantasy X is Famitsu which gave it 39/40.

    Final Fantasy Hater. Go buy Dragon Warrior III for GBC, instead.

  3. Another great Dvorak view...(on videogames) on Calling Out TiVo · · Score: 1

    http://www.forbes.com/2000/05/29/dvorak_0529.html - He predicts that the Playstation 2 will rule the whole video game industry (in my opinion, it won't) also he brings some flawed information: "One add-on called the Multi-tap Adapter allows the machine to run eight controllers and players at once." Every "Next-gen" gamer knows that the PSone and PS2's multi-tap makes people only play 4 controllers at one time. "And Sony's recent court losses in its lawsuit against Connectix may actually give the green light for Sega and Nintendo to develop emulators for their individual machines." If I recall, Nintendo is against emulation (even it is not their system) on everything. I know this is an old article because he still has Sega in the "Console Wars": "But Sony has so much momentum as a game console that it may take years of bad decisions to self-destruct. It achieved most of its lead thanks to superior PR and superb in-house promotional efforts at both Sony Computer Entertainment America and its game division, 989 Studios. I have been very impressed with the doggedness of these operations. And when compared to the rather mediocre PR efforts of both Nintendo and Sega, you can see why those two brands continue to fade." Sega and Nintendo fading? Does he remember that Nintendo is still getting cash off of Pokemon/Gameboy and Sega is one of the most respected video game publishers despite they were losing money on the DC? I don't consider 989 Studios having an "superior" PR due to their recent low quality of games and marketing sequels after sequels of their old "good" games i.e. Twisted Metal, Cool Boarders, etc.
