Around the Network

Didn't we already know this?



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

I agree Sony doesn't have a game as hardcore as Pokemon where you spend countless hours if not days or weeks breeding perfect IV Pokemon only to go out and fight an endless amount of battles building up just the right EV values as you mark every Zubat of Machop off on your Excel EV spreadsheet. I can't think of a single game Sony has that has so many hardcore fans as the Pokemon franchise.

Al Gore for Namco President.

1. Their biggest franchise is rated E for Everyone - The Gran Turismo games have sold more than 50 million copies, because they can reach a broad audience. This was only possible because Sony and Polyphony Digital didn't go down the road of mature gaming and refused to add hardcore features like drive-bys.


Wtf? Gran Turismo is a driving simulator and you say that it should have drive-bys to make it hardcore. When I read that part I knew the wholething was a joke.

You don't get shot by people or shoot people when you're out driving?!? What a sheltered life you've lived. I feel sorry for you.

Rol, bist du dumm oder was?

1. Biggest Nintendo franchise is also rated E. Say hi to Mario

2. Pikachu -This little guy is sooo cute. He has been the star of NIntendo's flagship title for the most recent holiday season which once again shows that Nintendo priority aren't the hardcore gamers. Another game that is rated E for Everyone.

3.Zelda vs Mario - Yes, NIntendo showed 3 marios on E3 and no Zelda on E3. Another prof how hardcore Nintendo is.

4.Hmm... what about R1,R1,L1,L2 and R3 buttons???

5.There are also billion DS Hannah Montana bundles. Also DS has about 4 Hannah MOntana games, PSP has only 1.

1. The biggest Nintendo franchise must obviously be the franchise which contains the biggest Nintendo character. To my recollection that character is in excess of 47 feet, and is in a game where animals are forced to fight against each other for money. Seems pretty hardcore to me...as I recall, a person was recently released from jail for the same sort of thing.

2. If you think that this (around 4:40) is cute, then you and I have very differing ideas of cute.

3. I saw Zelda artwork from E3, being shown in a secret manner, only to the hardcorest of the hardcore media.........didn't you?

4. These buttons only show that Sony has made the assumption that the people who play their games can only use extra buttons if they are clearly labelled L(eft) and R(ight). Anything more difficult, such as Z or C would blow their minds, as the kiddy players might not have the cognitive capacity to understand such things.

5. I have not seen any Hannah Montana DS bundles at all, let alone take center stage at E3, and a new colour being made specificially for that game. Sony knows their audience well. Obviously their hardcore bundles failed on the PSP, and they finally decided to stop their expansion while going back to their bread and butter - their "kiddy" persona.



hmmm.....disappointing rol

but still your jokes are miles above anyone else's

so this disappointement is actually better than anyone else can do anyway, except for smeags & his hilarious comics!



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

It's true. Sony has tried to cater to a wide demographic of people over the years which accounts for the PS2 having 500+ green games at Metacritic. And, I feel this emulates Nintendo and Sega's early successes. Microsoft has tried to do this more often as of late too which could be harmful to a brand that since its inception has been thought of as the hardcore standard.
