kestastrophe: nintendo?

You're right. I just don't think of Nintendo as a game company as I used to.

[Bocsius]

I'm confused, is it now exclusive on 360 or something? Because that's the only way I can understand these people's reactions.

But they've been betrayed. They were supposed to be able to play it. Them. And only them. It was to be a status symbol, and now it is all hopelessly sundered. Just like Capcom with Devil May Cry 4, somebody must pay.

Yeah, Nintendo fans will NEVER be trumped as the craziest bunch of console freaks out there.

I don't know, the Sonybot run of 2006-2008 is probably as impressive as any run from the Nintendumbs. I'd put it right up against the great Nintard years of 2002-2004.

Sony fans are getting there, quickly... the way they act now directly parallels the way N64 fans acted back in the day. Namely, rabidly praising first party exclusives, crying over losses of exclusivity, claiming technical superiority nonstop, the whole "wait for XXXXX to be released!"

Fuck. I was out of town (Boris concert ) and missed the meltdown.

Yeah I didn't think so either but this new lot of Sonybots have changed my mind.   They're at least as fucking nuts as any raging Nintendo loon out there.

They're just flat out creepy.

I think Sony fans of today are comparable to Sega fans more than Nintendo fans if anything.  Nintendo fans have become even more sickening this gen because Nintendo is getting rich off a gimmick.

Man, man, man, seeing him actually breakdown in front of the camera...this is sad and funny.

Except unlike PS3, Dreamcast and Saturn had quite a number of good games...

That is actually Sam Kennedy from 1up who comes off as a Sony fan more than anything.  That was back at the PS3 launch.

Hey - we are comparing current-gen sfags to past nintenfags, the ones that lost everything with GameCube but were so zealous and devoted they didn't even see it.

Present nfags are totally different story.

They are also very sickening BTW.

I can agree with that.

I think it happens when they fall from grace.  Sometimes I fear that if the PC ever went under, I would also become like that...I hope that never happens.

SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE A SAINTS ROW 2 TOPIC ABOUT RANDY THE cheeseburger

[Powerslave]

no, shut up

[Yeti]

I don't know what those whiners are complaining about. Back in the day when Square left Nintendo for Sony we didn't even get a port of the Final Fantasy games. They still get to play the damn game. The only thing they've lost is one more bullet point to use in stupid console war bullshit.

Pre-announcement:

If Resistance is pulling 22gb on the BD, I'd imagine S-E's flagship efforts will be as impressive if not more so.

If they tried it on the X360, there'd definetly have to be significant compromises. Plus FFXIII has probably got the best looking hair in any game shown so far, so without CELL, it could be difficult to pull off. You might end up with DOA4 style hair (tentacular!)

For something like FFXIII... you could imagine them needing at the very least 5 gigs of texture data (I'm estimating more likely in the region of 15; when you consider FFXI is mostly texture data; at low res, but the game along with the expansion packs are in the region of what... 8 gigs?), you've only got 2 gigs left to cram in audio and FMV... so how many discs would you need for a FF game then (if they replicate the game data in each disc)? People would balk, and S-E would balk.

Trailer for Vs 13 or whatever its called.  It looks like it will be a CG movie and don't see any hints that it is going to be a game at all.
