Ever wondered what games developers really think of Nintendo’s wonder machine, the Wii? Or Sony’s PlayStation 3, or the Microsoft Xbox 360? Well, thanks to an inside source at a major games development company, we can provide you with some interesting insights.
We all know the Wii isn’t the most powerful console on the block, its graphics lag behind the others, it doesn’t have bump-mapping, high dynamic range lighting or have high resolution textures, it doesn’t have much RAM and it is limited to 480p standard definition video output. The Wii, as one site puts it is “the stupid cousin of consoles” that developers don’t want.
While the Nintendo Wii currently owns the gaming industry, many have debated whether or not its success will last into the future. Well, if you’re a betting (wo)man, DFC Intelligence wants to let you know where to place your bets.
Like any other good, upstanding Halo playing citizen, I pre-ordered Halo 3. I chose Gamestop because, well, I was at the mall, I walked into the store, and a store rep convinced me to reserve it. This was a terrible mistake, and, by the time I finally got Halo 3 into my hands, all I wanted to do was go home and sleep.
Microsoft has said time and again that the infrastructure behind Xbox live is “sufficient” for any demand but apparently its not. Last night, a number of Xbox live users signing on to play Halo 3 discovered that they would have problems signing in and if they did manage to get signed on, staying connected would be difficult.
Can the much-hyped Halo 3 save the Xbox 360 from oblivion at the hands of the overwhelmingly popular Nintendo Wii?
Nintendo’s Wii console has become an ongoing story point in an unexpected comic book from Marvel — The Irredeemable Ant-Man.
Sony may announce the highly rumored 40 GB $399 Playstation 3 this week in perhaps a futile attempt to steal Halo 3’s glory.
It’s hitting stores tonight. The long awaited Halo 3 will finish the FPS series once and for all, and we’ve compiled a group review of some of the first Halo 3 reviews.
Just a friendly reminder from your neighborhood blogger: Don’t forget, Halo 3 hits the shelves tomorrow at about midnight.
