Guest Jordan Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 The number of times Ive had MVP but my team still lost...ugggghhhhh. Welcome to my world. I swear since my trueskill on Live (ie: my one for The Club in the top 200) is pretty high i'm always stuck on the team with people that suck.
Dyson Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Phil was one of the few things I liked about Sony.
flameboy Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 that is a shocker...didn't see that coming at all...
Caris Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 It's because of GDC and his comments towards SCEJ i bet.
Domstercool Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 He left to join Atari? who knows http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=33463
Guest Jordan Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 It's because of GDC and his comments towards SCEJ i bet. ??? What comments?
Fandango Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 ??? What comments? "It's a very interesting and frustrating thing for me to experience because I have been banging the drum about social gaming for a long time, with SingStar, EyeToy and Buzz. And our Japanese colleagues said that there is no such thing as social gaming in Japan - people do not play games on the same sofa together in each other's homes. It will never happen. And then out comes the Wii". (Taken from Kotaku)
Guest Jordan Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Ohhh... shakey ground there. Wondered if he was kicked off the boat rather than leaving himself.

It looks awesome on my crappy old TV, I can't imagine how awesome it'd be on an HD. My favourite thing to do so far is go sight seeing!

Guest Jordan Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Please, its not called Assassin's Creed. Its Assassin's Chores. You may as well be doing the washing and ironing in that game its so boring at times.
Will Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 The GDC comments would not have been to blame for him leaving, they were either a "Well I'm being kicked out I may as well say it" or a "I know I'm leaving next week have a bit of this". You don't take the desicion to leave a position like that without a bit of thought and the guy's clued up enough to know exactly what he was doing saying that rather than it being a slip of the tongue that lost him his job. I'd say he would of walked rather than being kicked out though, for all the stick he sometimes gets he did damn good stuff for the Playstation machines. Word round here early this morning were of a big money move to Atari but I haven't heard anything since, certainly an interesting one this.
flameboy Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Is PixelJunk Monsters all that? People are forever raving about it...but it looks abit boring and simple!
Aimless Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 I agree with will', the GDC comments might have been a by-product of his leaving but wouldn't have been the cause. Besides, I don't think what he said was that defamatory towards SCEJ. Buzz!, SingStar and Eyetoy are all European success stories, but no one really foresaw the inroads the Wii and DS would have on making the Japanese market a more social one. Theirs is a completely different gaming culture to the West, a place where cross-game invites are seen as rude and playing online with your colleagues is considered asking for trouble. I don't think Harrison's comments were calling his employers idiots as they were right, people over there didn't used to play games on the same sofa. All he was saying is that if they had pushed towards social gaming anyway they might have gained a slice of the Wii's current success. They missed the boat, and it's a lesson everyone could learn from.
Hero-of-Time Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Purely for Dom, although he probably already knows Who saw this coming? I mean, aside from just about everybody? The countdown has ended and those that signed up for the Atlus Faithful (including myself) were served an email this morning officially announcing the expansion to the award-winning Persona 3, Persona 3 FES! Atlus is releasing the disk as a standalone game, containing both the original P3 with the new episode, higher difficulty level, new personas, sweet costume changes, and much more. P3 FES is heading our way April 22nd, for the low, low price of $29.99! If you haven't played one of the best console RPGs of 2007, now's your chance EDIT: Awesome news this as I have been watching everything GT has had on it since they first showed it. http://kotaku.com/360404/sega-marches-valkyria-chronicles-westward
Domstercool Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Yep, found out over the weekend what day it was coming. CAN NOT WAIT. FUCK GTA 4 I'll BE PLAYING THIS!
Domstercool Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 You = doctor tard. Why? Because Persona 3 got RPG of the year and has been getting fantastic scores, over a game that I've played lots of times before, just now with a russian and high def, yeah it will be good, but P3 takes higher priority.

Please... RPG's are literally the same concept recycled. Over... and over... and over...
Domstercool Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 And GTA 4? Isn't that stealing cars, killing people and stuff? Recycled Persona 3 got high scores because it was different.
Calza Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Please... RPG's are literally the same concept recycled. Over... and over... and over... If anything RPG's feature the most varied 'concepts', like Dom said GTA series is exactly the same 'concept' as is FPS's, football games, music games etc.
Caris Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Has anyone seen this video of Killzone 2? Lean and Peak looks awesome.
flameboy Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 is persona 3 a ps2 game heard good things about it...will be a shame as I have a 40gig so no backwards compatibilty...
