News opinions, catchup part 2

So, I'm finally back again. I'm again only picking the more interesting news stories until I catch up.

Another Dissidia video: The closest thing you will get to a "Final Fantasy Smash Brothers"

Sony Online entertainment thinks about PSP for MMOs:
I Actually think this *IS* a good idea.

Some douche is directing the God of War movie: Sad, I don't care about the games, but way to make video game movies more of a joke....

Peter M-(I can't pronounce, nor remember how to spell his last name) compares 360/PS3:
Probably the least bias I've seen from a Microsoft first party employee.

RUMOR: Nintendo bringing an old franchise to Wii:
Uh, how many Nintendo franchises haven't been milked dry? And how many need to be milked dry? And in the end, shouldn't fans of the old game be worried to see a classic game be turned into a casual game?

Kotaku Silent Hill: Homecoming review:
Turns out to be not as bad as advertised... That's a first...

Another Guitar game coming to DS: ENOUGH. There, I said it.

Jeez the art direction is amazing, I almost was thinking about getting a DS.... Until they showed gameplay, bleah....

Cliff B-Something, (Gears of War dude) talks on PS3: I see his point, but I don't think the 360 controller is all that much better, if at all.

Gears of War 2 is more then just a game!: Ego much? Pleh, makes me want to get the game less.

DISAPPOINTMENT: So, they take the time to make a Rock Band guitar out of a real one..: And it looks like complete crap.

Gears of War 2 not coming to PC, reasons? Because no one will buy it: No, not because it sucks, but because Piracy will strike again. Hurray for elitist pirate PC gamers.

7 Minutes of the Killzone 2 beta: *Drools* I want it.... And I know I am being greedy...

How GTA IV could save Games for Windows:
I don't think it will.

RUMOR: New DS model, will include music playback, and camera: Uh... aren't they a little late?

Who is winning the battle for the hardcore:
In my opinion it's Sony, because they have more variety in their game selection.

PSN cards hitting many more stores, ones that actually sell games no less: Good good, now when will we see them at gamestop?

Halo musical composer says that eve Halo was effected by used game sales: Yup, that's how it works. If you're smart, you make a game that people don't want to sell.

GREAT Max Payne Movie trailer:
I still think they should have just casted Max Payne's voice actor as him.... Oh, well.

Force Unleashed could come to theaters: It would probably do better that way.

CD gaming is finally pretty much dead:
Now, when will Blu-Ray gaming on PC kick in... It probably wont, however, I want to have them for burning a billion files I have on my computer... (Curse my addiction of watching trailers :P )

Strong signs point to Wii harddrive in 2011: Isn't that a bit of a ways away?

RUMOR: Super Stardust Portable coming november: Awesome, though I am more looking forward to the PSP version of Everyday Shooter.

Why the 360 shipped without a Hard drive, while the PS3 did: Kinda funny, developers hate the architecture of the PS3, but love the space, and HDD... It's like Sony wanted to make up for the complex architecture. Microsoft made simpler architecture, but very little space, and no standard HDD.

FACTS about Life with Playstation: I'd just like to take a look, how long will I have to wait?

Saint's Row has zombie mini game: Sounds like the Zombie mode in the failed 'Gangs of London'

Saturday news opinions

The news, ladies and gentlemen,


IGN: Rock Band 2 review: Score-wise, it's a little less then I thought it would be, content-wise, it sounds exactly how I thought it would.

Megadeath album coming to Rock Band: No Hanger 18? No buy.

EA pisses off fans with overkill DRM: This shows how much DRM helps... *cough*

IGN: Jeopardy review: I knew it was going to be bad, but this sounds pretty bad.

Sony CEO interested in getting Wii owners to buy a PS3:
Isn't this sorta like what Sony said about handhelds being a gateway drug to consoles?

Eternal Sonata hits US October 21st:
This was one of the 360 games that I always really wanted.

Eidos releases Batman: Arkham Asylum screens: It's official, this game will look awesome.

Fallout 3 Survival edition = Sold out: Does that mean there will be no survivors?

PS3 'Boomerang' controller mod: A different modding world to thank, but a modding world nonetheless.

Spore downloaded 35,000 times in 2 days. Yay DRM:
So, harsh DRM that sorely punishes the buyers, but doesn't stop pirates... what's wrong with this picture?

According to this person, the reason we continue to play games: 'Loot': Uh, right, I'll go and play some game I've 100%'d over again now.

Resident Evil activity book for kids!:
I Laughed.

iPhone games get pricecut: Wow, I may not agree with the iPhone being the best portable gaming platoform, I can't argue with those prices. $2? wow.

Casual gaming vs Hardcore gaming: What games though? Tetris vs Metal Gear Solid?

New Sonic unleashed trailer:
I dunno, I still haven't made up my mind on this game, it looks like it could be okay, or crap.

Crysis, and Crysis Warhead available on Steam this weekend:
Damn, Steam is really kicking ass in terms of selection, and when they come out.

Muslim Massacre creator apologizes and pulls game: This is sad, I think he should be able to keep what he made up, even if I completely despise the game.

Exclusives are a dying breed:
First problem: Street Fighter IV was never going to be exclusive. Second, sure normal exclusives might be dead, but if there's money, influence, and companies being owned, there's going to be exclusives.

After all that, the 360 only barely outsold the PS3 in August:
Sure, 10,000 is a lot of units, but not next to nearly 200,000.

Sony, and only Sony decides when the Next Generation starts: Blind-Fanboy-Bias.

New Animal Crossing game gets a horrible subtitle: Ew. Not the worst, but bad.

Is Pirating Spore the right thing to do?: I don't know. It's illegal, and as soon as you make an excuse for one thing, you can for another, and not every company deserves it. Though, EA should be slapped for the DRM.

Fin.
