cant wait. glad theres no online too actually, more focus on what matters.

HBK6196234d ago (Edited 6234d ago )

Yep, this is one of those games that for me doesn't need an online, very much like inFAMOUS, a story driven open-world game that will rely on a lot more than any tacked on online element could offer for these types of games.

I mean, sure co-op would always be nice, but getting back to the roots of good single player driven gameplay along with an amazing story is something we aren't seeing a whole lot of anymore.

Blaze9296234d ago

yeah if anything i wish co-op would at least been added like how Saints Row 2 was done; everything you could do in that game couldve been do cooperatively and since it seems you'll have that partner by your side most of the time it wouldve been great.

But the competitive multiplayer, yeah glad they didnt waste time with that. Look at The Godfather 2, ghost town.

But the fact that theres no dynamic weather or time changes is pretty lame but i guess this isnt GTA like they said. Very story driven

Bioshock still looks fantastic, one of my all time favorites.

Yui_Suzumiya1217d ago

Beyond: Two Souls on PS3 can compete with modern day graphics.

SonyStyled1216d ago (Edited 1216d ago )

Same as Killzone 2 and 3, uncharted 2 and 3, Infamous 2, Heavy Rain, Resistance 3

jasonismoney1216d ago

I wish this was entirely true, but you might want to load up Killzone 2 and Resistance 3 again.

SonyStyled1216d ago

@jason I watched some gameplay videos of KZ2 and R3 on my full screen. They are on par or succeed graphically to the first person shooters mentioned in the article that also launched on the seventh generation of consoles. Try the same and see what you think

cthulhucultist1216d ago

Killzone 3 was super impressive! I could not believe the graphics back then as I was regularly pausing the game to stand in awe looking at the surroundings! Resistance however did not impress me that much. Heavy rain is also another amazing graphically speaking game. It almost felt next gen

Fist4achin1217d ago

I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.

SonyStyled1216d ago

They did for their day. I recently played gears judgement with on the 360 and the draw distance was so blurry. The characters up close look great though

JEECE1216d ago

Far Cry 2 was awesome. In addition to having demonstrably better physics and AI than later games in the series, it had a lot of design decisions that, criticized at the time, have since been praised in games like BOTW and Dark Souls.

iNcRiMiNaTi1216d ago

It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good

JEECE1216d ago

In terms of art style it still holds up.
