  1. Re:Troubling for Sony? Doubtful on January Game Sales Explode, Wii Dominates · · Score: 1

    Right, but Sonic came out *before* the SNES so unless you consider that the Genesis was competing against the NES, this example doesn't really work as they had nothing to come from behind from (since the SNES didn't exist yet.)

  2. Re:Definition on Can Nintendo Save the Adventure Game Genre? · · Score: 1

    Except that (at least in the case of the 360) you can't.

  3. Re:Why do these pixels cost more on Sony, Analysts React To PS3 Launch · · Score: 1

    Let's see: *Character models would be an order of magnitude more complex--you wouldn't generate a 20k poly model for a Wii game and then scale it down. *The more realisitc the model, the more realistic the required animation, i.e. extensive motion capture. *Physics systems (I assume this would fit under graphics) which will and can be far more complex on PS3. *Team size goes up massively for the aforementioned items (e.g. if you have a team of guys working on models that are 10k/ea. and need 100 of those models, you'll twice that number to do 20k/ea.(yes, gross over-simplification, but you get the point.) Amongst other things...

  4. Re:Because on Clover Studios Closed · · Score: 1

    Wait, wait, I love Clover's output as much as the next raving mad fanboy, but Capcom did just put out Dead Rising (which I didn't care for but a lot of people loved and that wasn't at all a re-tread) and they also have Lost Planet soon which is bloody specatacular (and isn't a re-tread) so let's at least be fair while we mourn Clover's untimely demise.

  5. Re:Depends on where you are on The State Of Wii Preorders · · Score: 1

    I was 16 of 18 and there were A LOT of angry people behind me when they found out they weren't getting one--well over 20 people walked away empty-handed.

  6. Re:And this is why subsidies are bad on Verizon To Pump $18B Into FiOS · · Score: 1

    If we cut them off from feeding at the trough (our taxes) that would do the trick nicely.

  7. Re:Meteos on Mizuguchi On Why Japan's Designers Are Going Indie · · Score: 1

    I agree. I think Meteos stomps Lumines *but* Meteos wasn't created by Mizuguchi--it was created by Masahiro Sakurai.

  8. Re:Too Human Too Late on Too Human No Longer an Unreal 3 Title? · · Score: 1

    Yup. I saw this game running (on PS1) in early '98, so it's at least that old (and, yes, it was running on the original LoK engine.)

  9. Re:99% of all PSP games? on Sony Struggles To Define the PSP · · Score: 1

    Ultimate Ghosts 'N' Goblins, as of right now, is the only game worth playing on the hardware (out next month in the USA.) Lumines might have counted, but the cell phone version is surprisingly good and it's also coming to XBLA in September. Shameless plug: http://werratic.blogspot.com/ (UGNG review by moi.)

  10. Re:I'm stuck on Shadowrun vs. Shadowrun · · Score: 1

    Yeah, buy a cart and stop playing the ROM.

  11. Re:"PS2 users can't go online" on Industry Vets Talking Crazy · · Score: 1

    But, uh, PS2 games *do* support online play--quite a few, actually.

  12. Re:End Game on Orson Scott Card on Games, 21 Years Ago · · Score: 1

    Ah, but if you knew how little he actually had to do with AR you might take that back...let's just say he was a stand-up guy and did one of his relative (a cousin, I believe) a very, very big favor.

  13. Re:No Adventures of Batman and Robin?! on Games That Push System Limits · · Score: 1

    Actually, it bludgeoned even the best Treasure had to offer (as impressive as most of their games were).

  14. No Adventures of Batman and Robin?! on Games That Push System Limits · · Score: 1

    Where's The Adventures of Batman and Robin on Sega Genesis? I don't believe there's a single, 16-bit, game on any platform (SNES, Amiga, etc.) that ever did the things this game does, graphically--the sheer volume of graphical effects, tricks, etc. that this game pushes is astonishing.

  15. Re:XBox Live Arcade on 360 Sells Briskly, Geometry Wars Arcade Hit · · Score: 1

    No, as of right now all it means is that the most hardcore Xbox 1 players have bought 360s--the 15% of Xbox 1 users that sucscribed to Live in the first place.
