Thoughts on next-gen consoles

[Boyiee]

but how does that genre dominate the video game market as a whole? when you think zelda TP, you think RPG right?

ummm no. Have you not played zelda?

lol, you are playing a role, thus a "role playing game" to me

in the old days you called these games "ARPG" as in "action role playing game"

who says RPGs have to be turn based or whatever?

and are you saying an "action adventure game" doesn't need good graphics?

So wouldn't that mean by your standards EVERY game is a role playing game? That's what you're doing in every game, playing a role, right?

well then you would have to narrow zelda down to more of an 'Adventure Game' since you go out and adventure, but then again if i'm playing a FPS i'm still on an adventure - so what would you classify it as?

According to GRT's retarded logic an FPS would still be an RPG because you're playing the ROLE of the shooter I guess...that's what I'm saying. If you think how GRT is thinking every game would be a RPG because in every game you're playing the role of someone, or being someone...you know?

i'd ask what game classification has anything to do with what we've been talking about, but this is BG and there are tards

but then again, i played a ranger in ff11 and liked to go into the first person perspective, so i must've been playing a FPS

Its own genre which is so rarely tapped they havent bothered to name it.

which is why i always though that kind of classification is retarded on its own, it matters as much to me as when people say i'm stupid cuz i don't capitalize or use proper grammer on an internet forum

zelda is not an rpg, it's action-adventure.

[BRP]

Videogame RPGs simply mean statical advancement, usually by the means of levels. This mimics tabletop RPGs, if you cut out the actual role-playing. The more traditional and common RPGs are filled with storyline, potentially making it appear that it is the log of events of a couple of tabletop RPG sessions.

[Boyiee]

I was just kidding around because of the comment on every game being an rpg lol. Zelda is Zelda, leave it at that ;p

If I may ask, whats this rumor of MGS 4 coming to 360? Is there a creditable source for this or is it just bullshit someone started on the interweb.

Well the rumor is based off the fact every other MGS game has been ported to XBOX, so why not this one?

not that i consider it impossible, but MGS games on the PS2 being ported to the Xbox is reasonable considering how much more power xbox has... but would you rather kojima take in mind the limitations of x360 "which he needs to later port the game to" when he is making it for the PS3?

Capcom did ported over RE4 to an inferior machine. No reason why Konami can't do it.

Watch! Winding lines wrap the width of warehouses as workers and women wait warily, worrying and wringing hands, wondering whether websites were wrong. Wherein we whisk white boxes away, wishing we win the war this weekend. Writhe as wrapping is wrested, wrathful words are written, and wagers withdrawn. Will we witness wanking? Whining? Whoring? Without a doubt. Well, whatever.

You may call me Wii.

In the last EGM, in the Rumor Mill. Microsoft and/or Konami is putting pressure on Kojima to put it on both.

Has anyone gotten madden for the Wii? I wanna know how the controls are before I get it ;o

A game is only exclusive until enough money says it isn't.

Any Wii owners played the Dragon Ball z game yet? interested to see how a fighting game pans out with the controller, mimicing the moves on screen and everything.

It looks like fun, lol.

I got it for the ps2, and for a dragonball fan its the ultimate game.

I'm considering renting it(Wii version) to play multiplayer against some friends.

We'll look like total fucking idiots, but it'll be fun :D
