Perfect Dark Zero could be its Halo. *pets his 360 e3 faceplate* <---Coming to wait on line with me (even though i have the thing reserved)
Or PD0 could just be a crappy sequel to a crappy game, stuck 5 years behind the times. Or maybe that's just me.
360 doesn't need another Halo, it needs Micro$oft to redefine their software strategy from that of the original - or they'll fail in the Japanese market all over again. No title will be the next Halo - but we might have many system sellers - as long as there are enough, it's safe. And it looks like they might be succesful this time, at least softwarewise.
I know what you mean... I bought my PS2 like... 3 months after it came out in Mexico - and it cost a fortune, but I still had some money from selling a lot of paintings in an art exhibition. That, I think, was the closest I've ever been to buying "at launch". My brother did have a 1979 or something Atari VCS, but it already was the 4-switch. I got my C64 in 1988, NES in 1990, Snes in 1993, PSX in 1997, and Dreamcast in 2001 - so you could say I'm not precisely an early adopter. In the year after I finally had enough free time after graduating, I did get a Virtual Boy, N64, another Snes, an Intellivision, an Atari 2600, a 7800 and... my PS2 died. But I'm divagating. I meant to say that buying at launch is not something I really like to do unless I'm very sure and I also have the money, which is very rare. I'm still going to try and get the X360 and Revolution as soon as I can. Nowhere close to launch, but soon.
Are you hoping that there will be a holiday time shortage and people will be willing to pay 3 to 4 times the retail price for one like what happened with ps2 around launch? (if I'm not mistaken)
IDK when the GC came out, like Nov. 01? Well I got it for my birthday that year (Dec 15th). PS2 I don't remember, I just know I got it at least 2 months after Devil May Cry came out, maybe more. I got Xbox during Christmas time in 02-03 whenever the JSRF/Sega GT 2002 pack came out. I suck at remembering.
Judging from the number of preorders and that fact that so many places have stopped taking preorders, yeah, I'm hoping for an eBay dash If nothing else, I can always sell them for face value or export one of them.
Don't know if this is how he feels, but for me it was basically Goldeneye with a new skin. Same game but it looks different and has a different story.
Well, yeah, I suppose so, but then again, it was a psuedo sequel for 007...I thought that by the time it had come out, me and my friends already played the hell out of 007, and PD just wasn't different enough, even with all the modes and crap, so we eventually moved on to other 4 player games (plus PD ran crappy). However, I totally loved single player, I thought it had enough new stuff, I loved the reload animations, and it was pretty fun to play through what with all the cussing and stuff like that..........................at least, I liked it. I just hope this 360 one won't be balls or like Halo 2's single player.
It is not Goldeneye with a new skin. The game is a farce compared to Goldeneye. An utter joke. The true testament to this? My friends never ever wanted to play PD in multiplayer. Why? Because it was crap. I was not motivated to go past the 4th or 5th level in single player. Why? Because I could barely see anything due to the blurry graphics, chop o licious frame rate, and the game simply wasn't fun. Joanna Dark isn't cool, the characters aren't cool, they aren't anywhere near Bond, and the game, as a whole, was a huge letdown.
It's pretty hard to go back and play either of those games sadly.....there too choppy and hard to control when your used to newer controllers and consoles, but after a little while you get back into 30fps N64 mode.
didnt they want to sell halo 3 when the ps3 comes out now it looks somehow more like 2007 then 2006 would be a long time to wait...
$299 is a good price for the launch, the problem is that at Europe (as always) it will cost 300 euro and the games 70 (or more).
