Hmm... Maybe they should team with Midway. They crank out Mortal Kombat games no matter what press they get.

Really? That's great! I'm still stuck in the Tsuba Ruins. And when I say stuck, I use that term lightly. It's more like I haven't really had the time to pick up the game and start playing it again

But it's just simply breath taking by graphics alone. Even now, when I'm just that little bit into the game, I am really hoping there will be a sequel. I would just love to have the same experience again

Press wasn't a problem at all. Okami got fantastic reviews but it wasn't a commercial success (US sales weren't even all that bad though, Japan is another story).
And maybe it's better that there won't be a sequel since Capcom holds the rights to Okami...

*nods* Good point. It could just go all terrably wrong, as much as I hate to admit it. Just look at the "Devil May Cry" sequals. Not as good as the original. Yet the first was fantastic from what I have seen and played at my cousins. But for Okami, it's either going to stand alone, have a crappy sequal, or an amazing/alright sequal. I guess we'll just have to watch and wait and hope for the best...

This is getting sad. No, actually it's getting funnier every day.

I've been loling pretty hard at Sony's marketing strategy for PS3. Whatever happened to giving $1000 to anyone who finds a PS3 on retail shelves?!

that would probably have been a joke anyways.

Still keeping ps3 on the shelves is a good thing, that way someone who wants a ps3 with their money can get 1 easy.

Nuff said, think about it.. Xbox 360 were hard to find when they came out now shelves are filled with them so it's easier now.

Sony is abck on track now hopefully.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 03-02-2007, 12:04 AM

There is no shortage. I just went to Toys R Us to get Sonic and some point cards. 15 PS3's on the shelf, Wii sold out until further notice. lawl

And Okami may have some hope yet. Members of the "new" Clover said they will moonlight over at Capcom on development of RE5, but on their terms. Good call, and it reserves some hope for that game. Perhaps Okami could get that kind of deal in the future. Still, it's unlikely considering it was a commercial bomb.

Anyways, March is going to be a good month for the sony brand video game systems.

Ps3 will be launch in europe, 5 announcements from Phil at GDC and some otehr secrets.

God of war 2 coming out and so is burnout dominator and so on.

PSP will be getting some good games as well.

If the ps3 does do well in europe and the announcements turn out to be all good and makes it good to the public, then sony will be back on track and Nintendo fans will be crying once again.

Seriously, why do you do that? Are you TRYING to get flamed? Who cares who does better than who? Just play the g*ddamned games, be happy, and shut up.

The only reason I even post here anymore is to read your ignorant **** and tell you to f*ck off.

I bet the announcements will be games that will also be playable on 360. And Sony will get back on track when the consoles actually start selling, but I doubt that will happen. It was easy to find the console around the launch date, let alone now. People just don't want it.

Jed · 03-02-2007, 12:29 PM

3 people have preordered it in the shop I work in. We're partners with Sony so we're guaranteed to get all our preorders filled and still no one wants it. I remember when the PS2 came out the preorders were sold out weeks before.

Yes, I'm sure Nintendo fans will weep when they look at...-gasp- numbers.

*Mecha Cow* · 03-02-2007, 03:35 PM

I don't know about you guys, but numbers burned down my village and desecrated my goats.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 03-02-2007, 05:31 PM

How about we all agree to just put LogicDonny on our collective ignore lists and call it a day? kthxbye.

I already know what two of Phil's GDC keynote Announcements are going to be. I can't say what the first one will be, it's likely to piss off Nintendo fanboys, and the other one is the HD upscale and backwards compatibility stuff. There could be more though.

~~LogicDonny~~ · 03-02-2007, 06:10 PM

still I don't care what you guys think of doing and besides, I can post what i want and I dont care much for flaming.

I'm sorry, but I just had to laugh at that. I'm not trying to be cold and heartless, but I seriously loled at that. Since when have the Nintendo fans been crying? In my eyes, they are pretty much always on top of things in terms of games and sales. They pretty much created the gaming era and took it to new levels. They created classic characters like Link and Mario.

Also, this is not a race between companies. It's all about having fun, escaping reality and probably blowing some guy's head off with a rocket launcher or trying to get Peach to flash her undies. Why do the major players be so determined to "win"? What's the prize in winning anyway? They are just there to sell games, and we are here to buy them and play them. End of discussion.

No? Could've fooled me with the way you keep flamebaiting. In fact, you just did it again. Knock it off already.

Umm, I don't know if you've been keeping track here, but Nintendo took a serious nosedive last generation with the Gamecube and ended up last in the console races.
