Seems wierd that Epic defends Sony, I thought that they were more Microsoft friendly.
Well, Unreal Tournament came to the PS2 for its first console drop I think. I could be wrong, but I thought the first console it came to was the PS2. Unreal Tourney 3 is coming to PS3, so they still have a working relationship with Sony. I think he was just pointing out how much criticism Sony is taking in everything they do. Like with Home a bunch of people saying it was just a copy when it's been in the works for years.
Well, to a certain extent you have to consider the source ... Mark Rien (like Jon Carmack) has made his career based on the principle that greater processing power and prettier graphics makes for better games; with the games that have been released for various Unreal and Doom/Quake engines it is a very valid argument. I suspect that everyone (including Carmack and Rien) will agree that the days where you needed greater performance in order to produce better games are comming to an end ... Now, both the PS3 and the Wii will probably sell better than most consoles have through out the history of the industry and in the end represent valid strategies at this point in time ... The strategy of the Wii is that processing power is not currently the main limiting point in producing high quality videogames at the moment the input device is, and the strategy with the PS3 is that processing power is still the main limiting point ...
hez sleeping with phil harrison....no juz joking
I agree and disagree, Gears of War of sells now and gets alot of attention because of the way it looks, while it is very gameplay wise it looks good as well, imagine if Gears of War was cel shaded instead do you think it would have sold as much or got that much attention? Me I bought the game cause it was fun the graphics had nothing to do with it I would have bought it if it has Mii's running around, the gameplay was fun.(It was too easy though)
