You people are supposed to know better. Kotaku abused the power of the press, posted private correspondence, whined for mommy to make it all better. They willingly threw their journalistic integrity away and should have been forced to deal with the consequences, but Sony patted them on the head...

The PSP does not look like it's going to eclipse the DS now that it has become the favored purchase of parents. Even if the PSP decreases in price it has the disadvantage of targetting itself at a demographic that doesn't REALLY play hand held games on the level that DS's demographic (kids)...

You're assuming most people will buy HDTVs after this generation is over, which is what, 2011? Give me a break. If HDTVs already sell for as low as $399 right now I can only imagine what they'll cost in a year. 40% of the general market should be penetrated by HDTV by 2008 and 65% of the gamer...

Xbox Live Arcade is available to anyone that has a 360. It is accessed directly from the dashboard. GameTap advertises itself on TV in every venue, from kids networks to adult networks; I've even seen it advertised during FOX NFL playoff games. Yes, I do know that, because people buy Smash TV...

It's not FAKE, Nintendo paid them to conduct the survey. Marketing companies do not promote other people's products for charity.

Yeah but they're alpha kits. People can't really complain about games that are on hardware performing at only 25% of the final system's capabilities. I don't even know of any games that could possibly be close to completion that people could be complaining about their AI.

I consider that a HINT. Not an answer because it's not final but a HINT. Yeah and? What are you paying extra for, the cost to dump the ROM? (approximate: $0.00) Xbox Live Arcade's games are $5-$10 and have online play, leaderboards, and changed graphics. Nintendo needs to be a little more...

I just mean aiming. Headshots, for example, could be more difficult in a lower resolution to obtain.

So if movies only came out in pan and scan because the general viewing public doesn't notice the difference, that would be considered okay? Or TV shows like Lost and 24 not being filmed in high definition because not everyone will see it? This is about taking options away from developers and...

It would only need to be as powerful as a regular Xbox to display games in HD, which has games in 720p. If the Revolution were only as powerful as a regular Xbox, that would be a severe problem for Nintendo, and you certainly would not be able to port Unreal Engine 3 to it in any form. But...

It's not cheaper because of a lack of HD, I can assure you.

It supposedly exists, and the team who worked on it even signed a 360 for Child's Play, along with the team from Gears of War. Epic has a creepy affection for Microsoft systems. UEngine3 was brought IMMEDIATELY to the 360 as soon as alpha kits were made available. Mark Rein even made an...

It's also coming out for the 360, and don't be surprised if you see a Revolution port too, now that the Unreal Engine 3 MIGHT be coming to it (I say MIGHT because we'll have to see if it needs to be scaled down for the Rev to handle it). MGS4 is the lone gun for the PS3 although other games are...

It's a network that has more potential than any other network on TV right now. It's biggest flaw is simply that it's not in more homes. Most providers have kept it digital-only since it replaced Nick Too. It very well COULD become the next big player, depending on who is still running it a...

I don't know why they want to charge $20 for an N64 game. You can find them for cheaper at GameStop/Funcoland, and I don't EVER want to have to say "cheaper at GameStop/Funcoland" because that is the catalyst for the damn APOCALYPSE.

They're starting up a third manufacturer by February to ease the demand.

Breaking Out is Hard to Do is actually one of the few good episodes from season 4.

Blu-ray and HD-DVD are fighting a meaningless war to win their way into 1% of America's households. Even if you have an HDTV, if your TV doesn't have an HDMI input, you will not be able to play Blu-ray/HD-DVD movies, due to high-definition copy protection. Component cables will not work...

I think we can assume PPGZ is canned at this point.

That million extra viewers is in a demographic that doesn't post here.

It seems that way to me, which really sucks. "Fairly close" should mean 3-6 months, and it's unlikely that Nintendo would release a game in the summer because sales are hotter in the fall. But if they were able to get the framerate solid and get rid of some of that horrible N64-quality fogging...

They did less in Unlimited so it doesn't bother me as much, but a white flash can never have the same impact as a drawing of the fist colliding and mashing up a guy's features. But they've kept the white flash pretty reserved these days.

Of course he is but that doesn't make Danny Phantom's design any better, it's still a horribly designed action cartoon with really really bad art direction and BAD timing. It is directed and timed exactly like Fairly Oddparents which is so incredibly wrong for an action cartoon. Stephen Silver's...

I would place a huge bet on Wizard having outdated information; after all, by the time it goes to print CN has already likely made 3 or 4 schedule revisions, so if it's not there now, it's not going to be. I would place a larger bet on JLU premieres being in February, when Teen Titans has...

It doesn't matter if Danny Phantom has good or bad choreography anyway; its design and art direction is SO BAD and so COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE that nothing in the DP style could ever look good, effective or "cool." Avatar is definitely the best looking Nickelodeon cartoon there is right now.

I know that but I'm referring to how a cartoon loves to show characters twirling their weapons and doing backflips and spinning around and all this stuff that has nothing to do with fighting, inbetween actual strikes. TMNT has done it, and He-Man did the same thing, and He-Man, like TMNT, did...

I have seen some of those episodes of Avatar you listed and I stand by what I said. Attention to detail doesn't mean much if characters can't actually HIT each other. A fight without fighting is just elegant dancing. And I don't subscribe to the "do a lot of flips, twists, and dynamic camera...

A couple of games like Dead or Alive 4 were delayed by a couple of weeks, is all.

Nintendo would have to steal them away from Xbox Live Arcade.

Avatar is cop-out choreography that doesn't allow anyone to inflict a blow upon someone else (unless it's ELEMENTAL MAGICKS). It doesn't come close to TT or JLU. If he used that as an example, I feel bad for him, but not too bad.

He certainly isn't. For a while Teen Titans was the only American action show doing things right. It wasn't until the second season of Justice League Unlimited that another cartoon could even match or overcome it. But we're talking about American cartoons, not the entire world. Then it's another...

The only problem is that FPSes are one of the few genres where graphics and immersion are just as important as gameplay to most people, so an underpowered system is going to have a hard time competing even with a superior control setup. I'm curious to know what will be compromised out of Unreal...

It wasn't an artificial shortage, there was a physical actual shortage of hard drives, which is why no hard drives are being shipped to the majority of retail locations. If they had just stuck with using regular laptop hard drives they probably wouldn't have had an issue, but they wanted to have...

Whenever the show is on Anime Network on Demand they only show episodes revolving around that retarded TV show with the guys in big animal suits. And it's the dumbest crap ever. Someone at ADV really doesn't want me to like this series.

PC gaming is a culture completely disconnected from video gaming. It's a world of constant upgrades, eDick-waving, and the fact that computers are used for more than just gaming. For most people there will never be a convincing reason for them to switch.

I don't know anyone who gets Encore WAM in a basic or extended analog cable package.

Success is when three years down the road you still have a heathy roster of third party developers, your games are still getting national television/radio exposure, and you're STILL MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS. You can't determine that at launch. As for FatWallet jerks, in a couple of months...

Haha, that was one of the lamest episodes ever. Maybe it's just because I hate racing in cartoons, but it's more than that.. the only amusing scenes were of Raven and Starfire. Everything else felt like filler to reach a destination you weren't even allowed to witness. That retarded sequence of...

Which is pointless because Microsoft is replacing faulty systems at no cost if anyone were to just CALL THEM. That is kind of the point of the warranty. But this is America after all.

How the hell have there only been 39 emails in the past couple of years? I haven't been to the site in a long time and email 100 seems like ages ago.
