I think their is grounds for rage in regards to the context with which this donation was given. I do not think anyone is blasting Sony for giving money to charity. I think some are upset with the context. They attached the charity donation to a bla…
Wish them well, pray for the best, keep your expectations in check. This is obviously a game early in development. Things can and will change especially early on in development. The final product could end up being radically different from its incep…
A previous poster made a very valid point. The N64 and the PS3 are very similar systems in respect to the market. Both consoles had format issues. The cart had no load times, but was manufactured by Nintendo. The Blu Ray disc higher storage capacity…
What a self serving story we have here my fellow forum members. I need not comment on the source in this situation it should be damn obvious to all members of this forum. I will say this that the JTL expansion was not the critical success it is bein…
The thing that killed the game is something that is not listed in this thread, and that was the JTL fiasco. That expansion did more damage to the game then the NGE or CU. Up until the point where that expansion started to hurt the game. The game had…
The best answer to your question is probabally the short simple answers. What did the original game or the Pre Cu have that the current game does not have. Here are the simple bullet points.
Nonlinear gameplay. The player was free to level in a fa…
The original game was based on one simple economic phiolosiphy. All paths towards obtaining a item are valid with no restriction. You could reap the rewards of high level loot. Without ever fealing forced to go out, and gather uber loot yourself. A …
Some licenses really work well for gameing other licenses do not. Star Trek is one of those licenses that does not lend itself to gameing. Worse then not being game friendly it has a dedicated fan base who will tear it apart merely for breaking with…
Seriously the writer should have known better. To produce a fluff peice on a company that is so thoroughly despised by the general mmorpg community. Sony has systematically forged their bad reputation over the last few years, and further more come o…
You are makeing a rather large assumption. Sony as a company has alot of problems, and Galaxies sadly is at the very bottom. While it might lock up a license, or supply a very modest income. This is not where the company is willing to take losses, o…
No there will not be another expansion, and it is not just a matter of the NGE either. Each expansion to the game before the NGE arrived was less then greated enthusiastically. What did not help was the way in which they were delivered. The first on…
I would not take anything said on the Galaxy Report as gospel, or even informed for that matter. The commentators quickly degenerated into shils for Sony. Quick to turn even a candle light into a strobe effect if it suited their purposes. Honestly …
When it comes to gameing there is a different definition of dead then you would find in a hospital. Dead refers to no longer being on the radar. Games really do not die they just fade into obscurity. For instance you could say the Super Nintendo is…
A drug addict will often try to hook other people on their drug so they might share the experience. The problem arrises when a person identifies too strongly with a game. Any argument against the game is seen as a personal attack, and they begin to …
The demise of SWG has more to do with PS3. Then Lucasarts or you and me. Where have all the SWG profits went. Towards that console they were spent. Costs were cut to make it through. The SOE players hadn't a clue. They hid the truth with dance and …
No it has been stated, and documented numerous times, but here it is in plain english. The EMU developers are not stealing anything from either Sony or Lucasarts. They are simply building a program that can interact with their product. You still hav…
I would recommend this wikipedia entry for discussion as to what defines a sandbox game. No offense but the definition given is so restrictive that only a mmorpg can fill it. Yet I have heard multiple sources refer to GTA in the sense of a sandbox. …
The only reason Chris said anything is that it was costing them more money not talking about it. Everyone knew Helios was gone, and more importantly that his departure was in the works for some time. The fact that they were not confessing it caused …
This is all I can see on the link.
