Lots of this video makes me continue to be suspicious of the LoT screens. Especially with regards to Jacob's face.

I did notice very jagged shadows when you're very close to a character. Such as when Shephard is first getting up from the bed in the medical bay, the shadows on the bed look really bad.

You can definitely see that PS3 still has issues with certain Unreal Engine elements, but the games look to be at least on par with the 360. Definitely can tell the differences in that blacks are much blacker and whites much whiter, which is why in the 360 version Shephard looks older, more rugged than what we see on the PS3 version. This makes the PS3 armor/robots look sharper, though, but doesn't always make mixed textures look the best.

Not sure if it was due to the video or actual gameplay (still downloading the demo and others today), but some issues with Miranda's hair being artifacted kind of threw me off.

That's a good comparison and assessment. Thanks for the link, jack_burt0n. Much better than the one over at LoT.

I didn't know the shadows on the 360 were that bad when up close as well.

these reviewers lied so the metacritic review can match uncharted2. The game tries to be a cinematic set piece like most ps3 exclusives but fail at it.

why it fail- The camera is too close to the action and most of the time you can only see from the waist up. the camera needs to come back a few notches. It's like watching a movie too close the screen and you can only see a portion of the cinema.

it's a 9.0 at best.

never judge graphics based on your Monitor, your TV will tell you the truth about the visuals, unless you play games on your monitor then ok but HDTV gamers out there never ever be shocked or disappointed in graphics when you see them on you monitor, 9 times out 10 it will look better or worst.

dirthurts5621d ago

That really depends on the quality of your monitor.

rjdofu5621d ago

TV and Monitor are pretty much the same in term of gaming display, resolution is more important.

Prototype5621d ago

Day 1 for me, the demo alone was good, and proved Bioware actually cared towards something

TANUKI5621d ago

The demo was quite fun, but during the cutsene with Miranda and the Illusive Man... there were quite some jaggies.

The gameplay was top-notch, but it will definitely take some time getting used to the controls, and use of squadmate abilities.

Two-Face5621d ago

I have this game for the PC. You know... the superior version of them all.

Bro missing companions: Legion, Grunt, Samara/Morinth, Javik, EDI

anast520d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine520d ago

To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.

anast520d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman520d ago

some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier

anast520d ago

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

IAMRealHooman519d ago

it's like bitch but your shirt back on, your not blue or spikey get away from me

SimpleSlave768d ago

"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!

2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera

And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

DustMan768d ago

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave768d ago (Edited 768d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.
