something else >_>

Greywulf6144d ago

lol...

(hordes of fanboys turn and move to another article)

Have you played fuel? is there a demo? the reviews haven't been too spectacular.

Jinxstar6144d ago

When it was coming out everyone was excited "Biggest open world EVA!!!1"

I said "Don't get your hopes up. Could be a world full of nothing"... I was right. The game is a rental.

iHEARTboobs6144d ago

I saw some gameplay vids and it looked ok. The biggest open world ever thing sounded good but from the vids the game doesn't really seem all that cool. Especially after playing Motorstorm 2. Demos are always appreciated though.

Greywulf6144d ago

It keeps track of the idiots in their hype threads.

Fuel almost set the internet on fire with people saying that this was better than Motorstorm. Same with Pure... and both sucked. Yet the people pretending it was better have all but disappeared.

hey is this even needed, hey lets compare graphics of a game with high and low settings. i wonder which looks better

FantasyStar6144d ago (Edited 6144d ago )

PC gamers like to know how well a game scales from low settings to high settings. Usually a good dev will scale a game so well that even low settings are playable on '01 Rigs. If there's little difference between low/high settings then that PC dev(Codemasters) has failed in developing a PC game that can scale with multiple set-ups.

Also, doing comparisons between screenshots with 4x MSAA, or 16xAF helps as well as knowing the benchrig specs informs readers what cards scale well and what doesn't. As well as knowing how effective AA/AF is in a game. For example, Dead Space had 2x AA and it's still aliased out the wazoo on PC while 2x AA in CoD:WaW looks crisp by comparison.

With PC Game graphics setting comparisons: it usually falls in the "good to know" category. No one is out for blood like it is when it comes to PS3/360 comparisons where fanboys are at the mark, ready to fire at each other. One of the few things I like about the PC Gaming world is that when it comes to the games: we're all in the same boat. Sure there are hardware fanboys like Intel vs. AMD vs. Corsair vs. Patriots: but that's a different spectrum of the PC world.

i read this today:

very nice read, I think im going to pick up the PC version later this week, just for the free roam aspect alone, only thing that's going to stop me enjoying this is if the vehicles handle really badly.

BigPete79786144d ago

I've been thinking about picking it up on my PS3. Not sure if I should or not. I don't typically rent games, I usually just buy them. But I've heard mixed things about this one. Anyone got it on PS3?

FUEL comes to Xbox Backwards Compatibility on January 10th.

meatnormous2664d ago

Ace combat 6 is included with ac7 for preordering It, still isn't b/c even though it releases this month. I have been waiting for a long time to play it again.

lxeasy2664d ago

keep on games to BC love it

Shuckylad2664d ago

I’m still praying for the 360 version of the Dreamcast classic “under defeat” coming to backwards compatible, tho I know it’s never gonna happen.

I thought the open world in LA Noire was a bit of a waste, it was competent but pointless. If there was anything worth doing other than progressing the story I don't remember what it was.

Lynx02073172d ago

Agree, boring driving through the empty city between missions was final game-killer for me.

-Foxtrot3172d ago

High speed car chase...try to take short cut through someones back garden....indestructible fence

Goldby3171d ago

Must have built the fence out of the trees from GTA

clevernickname3171d ago

Completely agree. Apparently the open world in LA Noire was originally intended to be filled with characters that you could interact with and minor crimes to be solved but Team Bondi had such difficulty with the core game that the open world features were dropped just to get it finished.

Tross3171d ago

I see. Thankfully the core game is still great IMHO, aside from the occasional animation glitch. I just opted to let my partner drive after a while as traversing the LA of the 1940s as presented in the game got old. The best parts were the main missions anyways IMHO. I believe there's stuff that needs to be done in the city to get the platinum trophy, but I just didn't bother as it was just too tedious. It has been a long time though. First and foremost I still regard LA Noir as an underrated classic that falls just short of greatness, largely due to its open world.

MGS phantom pain's open world damaged the game a lot it wasn't necessary

Soulst0rmer3172d ago

MGSV's open world was not needed. I spent that time just snatching up goats and baddies. Felt empty

-Foxtrot3172d ago

Yeah it screamed Kojima wanting to make a new game but being stuck with MGS

It was a story which felt forced and wasn't needed.

Didn't help when the world didn't react to what you did, you could clear a base out from enemies then an hour later they'll be back at that base. At least let me clear the world out a bit. Then you have slow as shit vehicles and stupid fast travel options. I could go on...the fact it got worldwide praise and almost perfect scores baffle me.

ironcrow23863172d ago

I thought true crime LA was a pretty decent fun romp plagued only by the painful length of time it took to travel anywhere :(

AmUnRa3172d ago

I not agree that Fuel was a bad open world game. I played that game till dead. And also with my friends, whe loved it. I wish they make a Fuel game for PS4. I will buying it day one.

Top 10 Games Set in a Post-Apocalyptic Universe

GamersFTW writes: 'Games that give us a glimpse of the end of the world have always held appeal, even if they are bred from impossible scenarios. The need to survive and our drive to do anything to make that happen means that post-apocalyptic worlds will forever be high up on our list of things we want to play.'

I know it's not out yet, but Mad Max probably deserves an honourable mention at least, should be a post-apocalyptic staple if it lives up to expectation.

GamerGabs3916d ago

Enjoyed the range of games talked about here. Nice to see Horizon Zero Dawn on the list, I'm also really excited for the game and can't wait for more information on it.

Sciurus_vulgaris3916d ago

Having an unreleased game in a top ten list is very unprofessional, regardless of how promising the title is.

LoveSpuds3915d ago

The Last of Us takes top honours for me but I can totally understand why someone might choose Fallout 3, it really is an incredible game.

Nice article, fun to read :)
