On the one hand it might have improved launch numbers but on the other hand they could have had a really low selling PS3 title so it could have gone either way. It's a better strategy to say "lets release it on the older system and wait to see if the new system lives up to expectations then the next game we can release on that system when ithas a better install base."

And yeah, the production lead time on FF12 means they wouldnt have had a development kit in time to make it a PS3 game anyway.

The quality of a HDTV willbe evident when you finally play it on one, but make sure it's a quality one. You might get the urge to drop your money on a lower quality one just for the price decrease and you;ll find they arnt always worth the money due to the refresh rate or the color quality or a few other technical reasons that would make a beautiful PS3 game look pretty bad.

do your research before you buy anything.

The PS button dosent light up because there's no light in it. You;ve have to mod it with your own if you want it too but other wise all the pics where you see it lit are only for promotional purposes.

See you couldnt resist could you. The only reason I'm still here is because I was trying to reply to OGT462 but this dumb forum keeps giving me the "not well formed HTML" error when I try to post. and it's a shame because his post was far better than your continuing childish behavior.

and for you your information I dont use the spell check, I never have you can feel free to check my posting history, But frankly it's a stupid video game forum not an important buisness email where I'd be required to use it. I Make typing mistakes because I type fast to keep up with the conversation, I wont hide that, infact it pushes me to check my own spelling and grammar if I know I dont have that crutch to fall back on.

Anyway to try and respond to ogt462, I wasnt trying to get anyone to comment on anger I only posted the picture as a humorous aside to the fact that I think Motorstorm is a better choice. The other guy was the one who wanted to make a federal case out of it. Like you said people hit their steering wheel in a car or curse out the other driver they dont drive off a cliff when they're angry, and concidering the damage I could have done crackign a controller was far more favorable than hurting someone else or myself for that matter. I've smashed things in the past, hell, you should see my NES controllers, But I'm not trying to dfend it as the right thing to do.

It was a heat of the moment thing to do and in that instant it's not about the code on the disk or the peice of plastic in your hands, it's about the fact that you're mad and you have to let out bottle anger created by any number of sources (in this case GF issues, credit issues, and the fact that the game has horrible controls), sometimes you let it out in ways you regret and I was hoping my indiscretion would be viewed more tongue in cheek and maybe warn off a similar person who might not be as in control. End of story

[QUOTE="Alpha2"]oh you know whatelse is really mature pulling out the ol' "you do something I dont like and therefore must be a child" remarks. that's a sign of a brillant person for sure.

I'm 33 years old, and in real life people get angry, you want to fool youself into thinking everyone can zen out and find their center after feeling humiliated you have a very dissapointing life ahead of you.

your 33 huh? and you cant spell brilliant? you get humiliated by games? it doesnt know you, nor does it care if you win or lose. if you actually are 33(which i HIGHLY doubt) your unbelievably immature and im not sure how you function at a real job. do you smash your keyboard at work if things dont go your way? when you mistype that spreadsheet, you beat the computer to pieces? or do you act like an adult, and figure it out? your not an ape, dont act like one

AHHH and then of course there's the OTHER move repeated by all great trolls, I mean men, where they doubt a person based on a simple spelling error, certainly you are a man amongst a crowd who NEVER makes a mistake. The fact that you're taking it this far proves your own lack of maturity, more so than any of the lame childlike attempts to defend your pathetic position in this. Another thing you need to learn is not eveyrone is you, or reacts to a given situation the same way. Yes I've smashed things in the past I've also managed to pull myself back from many an act as well but thet dosent mean every time you can resist the urge. You can rattle off the tired cliches about dealling with stress but that dosent mean anything to a person when actually dealing with a stressful situation in real world conditions with any number of other mitigating circumstances. The next time you get angry at something and lash out in the heat of the moment, (kinda like you're doing in these posts) I hope you remember this exchange and how much of a hypocrit you are when it happens. Infact I'm going to show you how mature I am by walking away from your lame attempts to belittle me. Your to attempts to goad me further will only show your true immature colors. Let's see how well you can resist the urge shall we?

No. people only freak out louder, not more. It's the "squeeky wheel gets the grease" syndrome. People who enjoy the SP experience have no reason to complain because 9 times out of 10 the SP is the most important part of the game and they arnt likely to get shortchanged on a console.

The people who want MP online are just really really loud about it and makes it seem like it's more important than it is. Look at the first Xbox, Live was it's huge selling point yet dispite having the most robust online infrastructure the PS2 still outsold it in every way shape and form (and still is today) while people all over complained about it having horrible online features.

Obviously more people care about core game play than multiplayer game play.

Oh it looks amazing there's no doubt about that at all but it's just extremely dissapointing to loose something that was integral to the first game, This isn't "Warhawk", this is "shooting 34 other people with assorted weapons and occasionally a plane". As a MP game for the sake of an MP game fine but they've taken what people where hoping to be a fun SP vehicular war game away in one fell swoop. And that's why people are annoyed.

I'm willing to bet there would be people who wouldnt even bother to play MP if there was a SP game but now they dont have that option at all.


As for lair, it's similar with the whole flying thing but it's still a very differnt game, atleast from what we;ve seen (only seen a single level so far so it's hard to tell anything really.)

The only thing I can think of for them to dump the SP was that they failed to program it correctly from the start and the AI either was horrible or they had difficulty maintaining the battle on all fronts. This would mean that when you went into the air the ground battle stopped untill you went back to it and then the air battle would stop. These would ruin the SP for all intents an purposes but if they got that far there had to be uge problems from the start on the title and this was the only way to save it from being canceled.

And no SP campaigns DO NOT always suck in "these types of games" because frankly the first game was fun as hell, why they couldnt do that here with even mroe power than they had on the PS1 boggles the mind. You want to down SP just because you want the game as it is. Like the MP is fine but dont try to justify an ignorant position for that preferance.

I would say in a choice between this and VF5, VF5 is the better looking game but Tekken is probably the more fun game from past experience. If you could wait until Tekken 6 that'd be great but with few fighters and DefJam looking like it's going to suck, I can't say get VF5.
