dreamcast 2.0 anyone? an in-between generations console with a freaky controller concept, sounds familiar. nintendo does have more going on than sega at the time and the existing competitors are much older so I don't want to predict nintendos end as a hardware company. But I would be hugely...

I was wondering when the "remake wave" would hit gaming. we already seen quite a few ports of older games to hit live/psn/nintendo online services, some with minor graphics tweaks. my feeling was that true remakes would start with the next console generation. Therefore I would be quite...

I pre-ordered Brink for the PC. Splash Damage stated that each version is developed separately and that there's no "lead platform". Content wise there are no announcements for any exclusive DLC or anything similar (there are however various pre-order bonuses). But the PC Version will have the...

my impressions with the game after I finished the single-player part in one long play-through (spoiler free): fantastic game! well exceeded my expectations and really matured from the already brilliant "mini game" portal 1 was. you hear some moaning about the single-players length but in my...

that's great news. i could actually see myself enjoying this mode for quite some time. especially because it is not very susceptible to "playlist luck". as long as they keep it invasion + invasion slayer only and don't think it would be fancy to add invasion 1 flag ctf :lol:

can someone please explain why you only play one side in invasion mode? i mean seriously what were they thinking? it just doesn't make any sense...

just finished playing for today. after playing 1 flag ctf twice in a row :roll: i got covy slayer for the first time. damn this mode is some serious fun! after that it was a bit of everything but covy slayer did not return :evil: (was an option in votes twice but didn't get picked). that just...

i can't for the life of me figure out the "playlist" concept. sure in a perfect world every map and every gamemode are equally fun... but sadly we don't live in a perfect world. there are maps that i don't like and there are certainly gamemodes that i absolutly cannot stand. why does bungie...

i guess i'm gonna pick up cataclysm. played wow on and off since release. mainly starting to play again with addons and some big content patches just to quit again after a few weeks/months at maxlevel... i always loved the "world experience" and development of a character. i am a firm...

after reading my first post in this thread again, i think i struck the wrong tone. i really wasn't going for a troll post or anything. it's not always easy to find the right words as an non-native English speaker. it seems to me that match-making really is accepted as a desirable way to...

wait a second... the most important point is missing in this discussion! matchmaking is an inferior system to create multiplayer games/sessions which was introduced to mask the lack of dedicated servers in a console environment! i sure hope next generation console networks (next gen xbox...

the biggest ps3 voice chat problem is not the quality but the lack of any background/crossgame voice chat. i sincerely hope 2010 is finally the year sony fixes this unexplainable lack of one of the most important and basic multiplayer features...

well, you have two possible ways to approach PC features on consoles. 1. booting a separate full featured OS (linux based or windows). problem: no connectivity between the "console" and the "pc". console is either in "gaming" or "working" mode. this is essentially what the ps3 offered with...

sony will never make the next PSP a PS"Phone". main reason: - japanese cellphone market. make no mistake! sony is still a japanese company and the japanese cellphone market functions vastly different from the US and europe! a psp+cellphone combo would not be acceptable for japanese people...

well there are basically 2 ways of looking at story-driven single player games and their difficulty balance: 1. since your playing a story driven game, death should not occur unless the player makes major mistakes. the game should only be hard enough to keep players head in the game and not...
