Agreed. You have to admit that Zelda is truly one of the best launch titles ever seen, not this kind
of crap.

is that ment to b the ps3 killer app lol hahahahahhahahhahahhhhahahahah aahhaha

what a joke but than again the sony fan boys r used to playing there punny ps2 so i understand :) .

i really couldnt stop laughing at that :) thats some funny stuff .

comparing this poor game to gears of war is an insult .

hapy gaming people :)

GoW as no physics.
Hell, even the player's physics is ugly. Stick to a 20cm step, ho noez you're stuck, gotta hold the stick and press A to make the guy "jump" it. I mean, the same boring system was used in the first tomb raider -.-

And please don't speak about bullet holes. An ugly bitmap sticked on a wall that vanishes in 10 secs isn't really better. I saw the same stuff in Goldeneye 64

....protecting people everywhere from evil signs and appliances.

that RFOM weapons use rubber bullets?

There is no physics in RFoM. There were N64 games with better physics. Don't confuse scripted events as physics. That's something that's irritated me about the game since I first played it. Its distracting and disappointing especially after playing GoW and comparing the physics.

Even Lost planet Schools RFOM.

Sony's hardware capabilities in every generation" have always made dev's use canned actions in their games that's the short cut Sony's going to use to trick people, Blu-ray will have the disc space for tons of canned actions to make the PS3 seem as powerful as Sony saying it is, Just like the Pasted looking enviroments on the PS2 expect many short cuts to make the PS3 seem on par with the 360.

Later on in PS3's life dev's will be able to make the canned actions seem more real on the PS3 vs the 360 at the same time having very limited multi computing weak memory and never having games look as good as 360 tittles.

Math crunching computing "fabrics in canned actions & animations, THAT'S how the PS3 will supposedly do a little more than the 360 in the future. Lost Planet puts this RFOM sh*t to shame with it's very impressive real time physics.

i have to admit that RFOM as no good physic at all....oblivion have really good physic,fear have better physic,i dont think RFOM is a bad game but its really not in the same league as GOW or HALO or RAINBOW SIX:VEGAS and even CALL OF DUTY 2 and 3...anyway from my point of view!i find very disapointing that we dont even see bullets holes on walls...that just look weird!

This looks like some guy sat around and was like "How can I make this look like R: FOM is worth it? O.K. I'll soot some chairs and stop signs and chairs and cars so people who have never seen anything out side of the PS2 games can be impressed."

1/2 Life 2 on the original Xbox was capable of the same type physics as this. Lame PS fan boys are in their own like club like Michigan State fans who were born in other states other than Michigan.

Go Bucks but this article sucks.

All in all this game looks lame. I'd rather play UT2003

I'm going to have to agree with THWIP on this one. In order for this article to have been properly named it should have been "R:FoM Environment Interactivity". Because that's what the person seems to have wanted to talking about.
You'd have to shoot at a light pole for quite while before the metal in it would end up with the structural properties of licorice. Basically that's what I thought when I saw the lightpole bend over. (sort of amusing actually)

I'm not saying that the PS3 is incapable of good physics. I'm just saying that this isn't a good example of it.

but a stop sign is about 7' tall (general). if i shoot a stop sign with a shotgun a: i'll put a hole in the sign b: the sign will break from the post c: the sign itself will bend d: a combination of a-c. it's not going to bend half way down the pole if i shoot the sign. just me though. again, no physics major.

Hey guys,
In my view, these vids showcasting the physics in this game are very poor. This is an area that I am very interested in, modelling realistic physics in real time. Dont get me wrong, its a pretty hard task, currently in my job it takes us 36 hours to complete 15 seconds from the model im currently working on (and we are using some pretty high spec boxes for this). People have hyped up graphics and user input in games as the next gen, but too many developers seemed to have overlooked trying to push the boundries in enabling the gamer to react with the environment the developers create. For anyone interested a fairly old video on YouTube highlights Havoks v4.0 Physics Engine being used for games - http://www.youtube.com/watc...
This is a physics demo and it shows what hopefully fully rounded games of tomorrow should bring to our living rooms. Please note though when the title says PC & PS3, this is by no means exclusive to just these two, its just how the person labelled it on Youtube when it was uploaded. Athough, im not sure if the wii has the processing power to handle the speed of the interative calculations required by physics engines such as Havoks... but then again - thats not the point of the wii, its just fun in a box :-)

Hope this was of some interest to somebody

what the hec, this place is crawling with anti-sony people, personally its pretty cool how they use the physics in the game, i havent played the game but the HD vids i have seen look awesome... again a personal view
and why do people compare again and again GoW with this game; your just starting endless flame wars that are boring (sony vs microsoft), the two seem pretty freakin awesome... for the guy in the #18 post, didn't they like use "real metal" back in the days when cars were really made to last and thats why it didn't shatter with bullets... :P LOL

sorry but i have to say something, you talk a lot of s!@$#. u look like president BUSH when he has to say something, "blablablablablablablabla blablablablablablablablablablab lablabla" that's all ur doing.

SONY AND THEIR FANS ARE THE RIGHT WINGERS. LOL MS WILL TAKE BACK THE HOUSE OF REPS AND THE SENATE THIS TIME AROUND. iT'S ALWAYS BLACK AND WHITE WITH YOU GUY'S ps2 THIS AND ps2 THAT. LOL

Um yea I wasn't that impressed, the sign thing looked so fake i couldn't help but laugh! Saints row tho actually does the same stuff shoot over chairs, kick chairs, if you run into a chair it moves, you can blow up tables, cars (that destroy into peices) helicopters even break into two when shot with rocket launcher! So honestly saints row is the most impressive I have seen in a game that I've ever played...Oh and F.E.A.R is fabulous for this as well

With the help of Nintendo also. Welcom3 Chang3 beiaches.

should only really matter if it is intregal to the gameplay, i.e. physics based puzzles and attacks. It's nice to have metals bend and break when a large expolosion occurs, but I would rather have it come into the gameplay as an active agent, rather than a passive one. Half-life 2 comes to my mind when speaking of games using real-time physics to flesh out the game (using concrete blocks/steel barrels as weights on a see-saw like ramp to access passage to an out of reach level, etc.) The use of "physics" in this game is minimal at best, at least by today's (this generation's) standards. It's a nice little touch and great first time effort for Insomniac, but very far from revolutionary.

wait, it doesn't have any physics, just disappearing bullet holes and corpses.
I knew there was a reason why so many xbots is swarming in this news.

you xbox fanboys are so lame

the lamp posts do not react in the same way
the first lamp post bends stright back then to the right a bit
the second has sparks and bends to the left. he is shooting to the left at an angle.
the others, bent to the left too.
they all bend in different plances, and some fall lower and faster.

you guys are blind and pathetic

you 360 fans are so ignorant
have you guyz played perfect dark zero?
that game has no physics at all .
don't even compare this to COD2,3 cod3 is nowhere near Resistance and its a launch title.

heres. the review of gameinformer of Resistance 9.5
graphics . not only does this game look fantastic,it has perhaps the most on-screen action i have ever seen in a fpshooter.

whenever an article about Resistance is approved? As for the physics debate, I'd love to see a Gears video that shows revolutionary physics 'cause last time I checked the game had hundreds of bullets being fired and hardly any reaction from the environment. The infamous diamond effect. Black's probably spoiled me to death, but still.

Half-Life 2 at all to know that the Physics in this game suck Plain and simple. The Person shot a Street sign and the lamp in the back bent. No Bullet holes, just Bent,No destruction, It just Bent,Not even blown in half,It just bent like Laffy taffy.Now Lets talk about the Poor chair that was too strong to get Blown to pieces with a High powered Assault Rifle. It took a Shotgun to Tilt it Not blow up it to pieces but tilt it. Are you Fuking Serious? Now i know this don't affect gameplay what so ever but come out i like to have destructible envoriments so after i finish a gunfight i can see the descruction caused.
Now Mind you everything he Wanted to show Physics on in the second video was light weight compared to the Lamp and streetsigns.
He Shot a Can and ll it did was roll not bounce of the walls it rolled like if i plucked it. He shot a Pool ball and it rolled like if i blew on it. No wonder the Enemies take so many shots to die, you tickle them to death. in Half-Life 2 if given this same map You would be low on ammo and Forced to use each and every prop with the "PHYSICS" Gun to complete whatever objective that is. This is a PS3 games that can't keep up to Half-Life 2 on O.G. Xbox(Whose Physics is a 20% Less Fluid Than on PC but still Provided a excellent experience being i never played the PC version but just read about it.)? No wonder why they Call it Resistance: Fall of Man(Kind). You see the Resistance objects put up against High powered guns that can't Break a Dilapidated Chair? Nonsense i had to stop my girl from cracking up looking at the vid with me.
"Off topic here, but how is Black? "
Off the Meats, High Energy fun with destructable Backgrounds more detailed than Resistance: Fall of Chair. Guns have the real life-like quality and sounds. You can pic it up off the $19.99 shelf its a steal. I have the Xbox version it works in the 360.

"I'd love to see a Gears video that shows revolutionary physics 'cause last time I checked the game had hundreds of bullets being fired and hardly any reaction from the environment"

HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH Damage control i love it. Was'nt you the same one who said that there was only 3 enemies on screen at once in GOW? Your credit is so shot it might tip like the Chair with a rocket launcher.

All these people talking about the way these poles bend and all of that, but no one mentions the incredible, indestructible chair in that second video. I mean, at least in Gears when I shoot furniture it actually reacts realistically (i.e. breaks apart).

As for the first video, I've never shot a lamp post or a traffic sign, so I can't really gauge if that's realistic. However, logic suggests that while a shotgun might not necessarily punch a hole in it, it's not gonna turn it into licorice either. Oh, and I can't think of a time that I've ever seen a traffic sign affixed to a steel pole. Everyone I've seen has been attached to wood, and, um, that doesn't really bend.

Half Life 2 from a few years ago has much better physics.

"k so can you please provide us some videos showing off GoW's amazing physics or destructible environements, and more than 3 ennemies at once ?

I've never seen any, i'd like to see some, since i don't own the game personnaly and don't know anyone who does."

Gears of War have mroe than 3 enemies at once on the screen, play the game and you will find out. I have completed the game on casual first then on hardcore and i have finished ACT 1 on insane and i'm about to do ACT 2 on insane. Play ACT 4 and do the last chapter when you have to defend the house, you will see at least 10 enemies on the screen if not more.

I just watched one the videos and the physics made me laugh. It was amusing and they weren't very good, just wait until next year and you will see on the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 that the graphics, physics, AI etc will be amazing but wait until 2 years time and devs will be digging deeper into what these consoles can produce.

Xbox fanboys have officially taken over this site. What a bunch of pathetic losers.

My last post said

"Lets talk about the Poor chair that was too strong to get Blown to pieces with a High powered Assault Rifle. It took a Shotgun to Tilt it Not blow up it to pieces but tilt it. Are you Fuking Serious?"

"Off the Meats, High Energy fun with destructable Backgrounds more detailed than Resistance: Fall of Chair."

Pay attention M3rcito and read.

" so can you please provide us some videos showing off GoW's amazing physics or destructible environements, and more than 3 ennemies at once ?

I've never seen any, i'd like to see some, since i don't own the game personnaly and don't know anyone who does. "
Buy the Game and see for yourself.

So GoW has obviously tons of ennemies onscreen and amazing physics, but no one can prove it with videos ? :)

I mean those kind of "details" are important for a game, especially a game of this kind, but all the videos on the web don't show any of this "obvious superiority" of GoW over RFoM.
I woulda thought that showing those kind of things woulda been the first thing to do.

why do i have the feeling i was looking at a PC game?
tell me.......please tell me :(

Gears of War and Resistance FOM are totally different types of shooting games. Gears is a squad-based, tactical sneak around and kill ur enemies, Resistance is ur traditional all out action shooter. Both types are loads of fun, I've never played a tactical shooter before until last night, my first game of Gears. It was awesome, a nice change from the traditional style of shooters. But I still love the traditional style, which Halo provides, but I'm not much of a Halo fan. PDZ is my favorite action shooter (best, most creative insane weapons) when set up right (yes, it was rushed, incomplete, and crappy character models) but I am confident the next one will be perfected, and using unreal engine 3...

Back to the point: Everyone stop comparing Gears to Resistance, theyre both brilliant games for their particular niches in the shooter department, theyre too different in style to be comparable.

Now that Jim Ryan is gone just need to remove Herman Hulst from his position! And maybe give Shuhei the position he deserved.

This gen hasn't been the best for games, last gen consoles are still out there and now there's been talk of the PS6 and Xbox Two for a year or so. Many games this gen will be ported to next gen and the cycle will continue. The re-release of the Neo Geo AES+, games on cartridge for £70 ($95), gaming is going back in time. Gaming has gone pricing mad with the high cost of games, consoles and controllers. The men and women at the top are clueless.

It’s always interesting to hear behind-the-scenes stories like this, especially involving veterans like Shuhei Yoshida and leadership figures like Jim Ryan. That said, there are usually multiple sides to decisions at that level. It could be less about not “listening” and more about differences in long-term vision for PlayStation. Yoshida played a huge role in shaping the brand, so whatever the reason, his impact is undeniable.

If true, and I'm inclined to believe it is, it goes to show that Sony lost their way when they became more western/didn't respect the PlayStation origin story. Andrew House and Jack Tretton did great work, but they also didn't try to fundamentally change the PlayStation DNA. Ryan oversaw the death of Japan Studio and a live service direction.

I already figured this, good lord imagine if Shuhei took over instead, would've been a platinum era 😩

I miss the first three generations of PlayStation. The way they turned PS3 around, we knew they meant business. We were all worried for a bit there around launch. Eventually from 2008 they started shifting slowly. But since Yoshida was fired, it's never been the same. Still enjoy my PS5 daily. I got a backlog dating back to PS2 lol So I'm fine but new games aren't as appealing anymore.

It seems like we were thrown on to the worst timeline possible where everything is too expensive and the wrong people were put in positions that makes the world a shitty place. We could have had Shu as the head of PS but we got the shitty alternative. Same goes for everyone in power around the world. Doesn’t matter the company or country the majority of us got the shitty picks and the world is declining like never before. I do think PS can come out of this because of their studios, talent and IP but they need someone more in touch with gamers leading things like Shu was. They’re still the best place for console gaming imo but it could be much better than it is especially without the massive live service failures. The rest of the world I have a lot less hope for right now. Hopefully the pendulum swings back towards the good ole days but I’m preparing for the worst.

There goes illuminati distraction story

So now there's certifiable proof that Ryan was in fact "fired", as opposed to when it was first announced that he "retired", in order to save face.

There's another guy who recently "retired" as CEO of another large gaming company, after doing a dismantling job as lead for well over a decade.

seems legit, the business man, fires the one who has ideas to move the business forward.

Jim Ryan is the reason why we are entering year 6 since the PS5 launch and many of us don't feel like the PS5 has gotten started as yet.

I hope going forward, we will see a return to form.
