While my response was sparked by your comment, under no circumstances have I called you a Sony drone. I just wanted to make sure that is understood.

Opinions will vary. I don't find Kinect Sports (or Sports Champions) shovelware. I do find Kinect Joy Ride, Mod Nation Racers, Kinect Rush as shovelware for example.

Not only is this section very active (more active than most of the PS3 subforums actually), but it is active with the most veteran of members. It is clearly popular. As you and I know, it's not getting trolled or reported either.

I am in many car forums, and many of them will have a Chevy vs. Ford, or Camaro vs. Mustang section and they are highly popular.

Trying to reassure themselves I guess. Cuguy used to call these "reassurance threads."

Tis interesting, I haven't had a look at the Wonderbook section. Not sure why anyone would be in there unless they have kids? And I'm pretty sure kids don't have the same standards as adults.

That thread is in the PS3 discussion section.

**AaronSOLDIER** · 01-02-2013

Yep, a thread showing that it's selling pretty well and some people getting upset because they hoped it would flop.

Why would you hope it flopped? FFS, its for kids, why do adults give a dam?

Yep exactly.

Dunno, that's the mentality some people have I guess, the same people who hoped Move and Kinect would also flop.

If I remember correctly Cuguy introduced these sections, ironically
And I think the thread makers speaks volumes of the reassurances.
There are fanboys on both sides

According MCV, in the UK (generally viewed as the third largest) market, EA was the most successful publisher of 2012, ahead of Activision.

Nintendo and Microsoft placed 4^th and 5^th respectively.

Sony despite releasing over half a dozen retail titles last year, failed to chart in the top 10.

What titles were they?

LBP Karting
Sly Cooper
R&C Collection
Sorcery
Starhawk
Twisted Metal

Are the ones I can think of for US releases. I have only played Starhawk and Twisted Metal on that list, both of which were garbage IMO. I am glad the PS3 is making up for it in 2013.

Journey on the PS3 has the best graphics ever, and it is only an indie game. Need I say more?

Also, I just bought 7 HD collections. I can't do that on Xbox yet.

you need to say a lot more because i must have missed those "best graphics ever" in my time with it. a short time at that, due to it being a very very very... short game.

**Foraeli** · 01-04-2013

It was an indie game so of course it will be short. What I said still stands tho. Journey is drop-dead gorgeous!

**Soldier 95B** · 01-04-2013

Well, I agree with THAT part..the game does look great.

**Foraeli** · 01-04-2013

I still want to know their secret to creating that beautiful sand. That studio had to have had some crazy genius on their team to create something so unreal like that on current generation consoles!

**Soldier 95B** · 01-04-2013

From Dust has excellent sand too. Journey is like 589mb, so must not be that big of an engine.

Its simply fog, nothing special. They used a low laryer fog effect that was the same color as the sand, then used a few puffs of sand when you walk past.

Nothing exciting or special at all, it simply looks nice because the game is almost monochromatic.

Its not even close to a great looking game, not sure what people are seeing in it. It a unique look, that doesnt make a the best looking game.

I'm not talking about the fog effect, but how the ripples of the grains of the sand move when the sands are stirred up. It reminds me of NVIDIA's Turbulance PhysX demo but applied to a flat surface. Also, the convincing physics for the moving mounds of sands too. It is really amazing.
