I'm sorry, but I don't take any video seriously if it has the Requiem for a Dream theme in the background.

That one from leo-j fails.

And sorry, but superchunk's fails too.

For the past 5 or 6 years, I've been sitting through user movie after user movie, AS WELL AS official movie trailers, even Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers!  They all use the Requiem for a Dream soundtrack theme, because it sounds epic and it's a popular theme.  I like it, but I'm so freaking sick of it being used in Youtube videos and fan movies.

It is my number one internet pet peeve.  Higher than irritating fanboys.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

 You skipped mine.  I guess it doesn't fail?  Yay!



Yours is fine...does that sound like the Requiem theme to you?

I still don't know why losing millions or billions of $ just to sell more than a competitor is considered a win!



Ehhmm... Dreamcast had nothing BUT good games...

The game I'm most looking forward to seeing on the PS3 is Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction.  It must suck though having to come out against the 800 pound gorilla series of platformers (Mario). 

Here's a trailer for it:

The GC did, but didnt even play dvd's or anything. And the games werent THAT good either.

That is SSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOO wrong !!!!!!!!

Besides that you even made it a double negative, saying the Dreamcast (which you also misspelled) almost only had good games.

What else...

!!!!! Predictions by decmeber 31st 2007 !!!!!


QFT

The DC had one of the best launches ever.

I'm sorry to say it Leo, but PS3 is too far behind and too expensive. The Wii has already taken this generation. Hopefully PS3 is successful enough to garner a PS4. Then Sony might be able to regain their former glory.

 

Have you ever seen a football game??? If you think you can declare a winner because one team is ahead in the FIRST QUARTER, you got alot to learn. The console war has barely begun. And remember that when the PS2 launched, the Dreamcast had a headstart and everyone thought the PS2 was too late. Do I have to remind you how that turned out???

 This isnt football and the Wii didnt launch first. Thats all.

 And if you are so keen on winning, you better make it to the finals first.

On the other hand, the PS3 lacks so far behind: 6 million sold by end of march07, now two price drops later and we still are at 5 million. So the only chance that Sony has on winning is when the competetion all of the sudden starts to sell bad. Else they will end up with a 10-15% marketshare. And thats even when you don't count the PS2 in, because the latter sold more since the PS3 release then the PS3 itself. (as you can see, a regular dvd drive and last gen graphics still can do the trick ;) )



those videos show alot of lair, which everyone knows is dire, heavenly sword which is good, but not exactly a system seller, drakes fortune which could very well be a complete failure, the same for that other game i forget the name of with the yellow helmetted soldiers.

The only exclusive games that will give the PS3 a serious boost are MGS4, FFXIII, Gran turimso 5 and possibly R&C, but their release dates are few and far between. Sony needs to fill the gaps with some other good games.

I agree there are some incredible looking games coming out, eventually, but with more and more of those games being disappointments, sony are running out of steam before they even build up a full head.

After a year on the market, im getting incredibly tired of seeing the same trailers for the same games that are either disappointing or not due out for months.

THe PS3 needs more than a price drop to excite the market.
