Bionic Commando Rearmed

[epmode]

I was hoping that someone other than Bi-Ri posted the news.

I'm still buying the 360 version. My rule is that unless it's substantially better on PS3, there's no point for me to buy it there.

Sucks though. Do you know how many no-HDD owners play these kind of XBLA? MS must. But it isn't even that. A couple, like Exit, REQUIRE the HD (or maybe the 512 MB memory card), which no one has. So this is a really stupid move.

It's a bummer because I think they have done a pretty good job of giving people what they want, and that's why I have supported them. But you're turning on your fanbase here. You know that whole "7.2 attach ratio" or whatever it is? I have about 60 retail games, as do a lot of people here. It means that your fanbase is actually pretty small, and you're slowly ticking them off.

But I guess CoD4 sales will be all that matters, since everyone owns it. The best XBLA games recently, by comparison, sell to <1% of the system owners. You know, US.

Steam release imo.

[B-Ri]

Yeah lets all support the 360 version....?

It may not be a big deal to you guys for bionic commando (at least we dont know yet until comparisons), but capcoms stance that SF2THD will be equal on ALL platforms, and that the team is having trouble making the pixel by pixel perfect 1080p sprites in the small space, that they are thinking they have to down the sprites to 720p, and effectively fuck over the other versions = LARGE FLT for me.

[Joust Williams]

I am supporting that version because all things equal, I like where MS is going a lot more than where Sony is going with respect to gaming as a whole. That is why.

If the trade off is that a release or two will have slightly smaller textures in some places, then yeah, I can deal. It's when it gets out of hand that is the issue. And when that happens, you'll see me on PS3 all the time.

....

except that CAPCOM made that decision, NOT MS, and also CAPCOM made the decision on this title that it wont fuck over the other 2 versions because of XBLA limitations.

Here is hoping that CAPCOM reconsiders and doesnt fuck other the other versions of SF2THD like they are doing with BCR.

As for respect to gaming as a whole, WTF?

[J2d]

I'm gonna buy two copies of every Capcom game on the ps3, starting after Lost Planet, in hope of making joust cry.

[Joust Williams]

MS is doing a lot more to help developers out, whereas Sony's focus is on us watching Ultraviolet on Blu-Ray. MS is a software company after all. So if I have to take a little bad with the good, I can deal.

[epmode]

Company loyalty is ridiculous, no matter which company you back. Unless it's Valve.

[Joust Williams]

Agreed. Some people mistake company loyalty with ideology loyalty though.

I have both systems and will be happy to make the switch if Sony shows me what I want to see.
