First off, before I write this I would like to make it known I only own a PS3 and consider myself to be somewhat of a fanboy. Not a really extreme one but a mild one. Now that i got that out of the way here is why I believe that KZ3's stunning graphics are a bad thing.
"The lack of offline (multiplayer) or split-screen in Killzone 2 is a result of the Playstation 3 not being able to handle the two screens being rendered at the same time."-Herman Hulst in April 2009. Uncharted 2 which had equal or maybe superior graphics did not have offline split-screen because of the graphical power limiting their ability to create two equal screens running at the same time. So as we may enjoy the stellar graphics of Killzone 3's campaign and online multiplayer something will seem missing. My ability to play with friends on co-op or 1 VS 1.
Sony, how do you expect to get Xbox gamers to come buy PS3's if they can only watch there friends who own PS3's play KZ3. I was sold on buying a PS3 over the Xbox because I fell in love with Resistance:Fall of Man's offline co-op when i played it at a friend's house. Which in turn got me a PS3 and introduced me to a whole new world of game series I never heard of but now enjoy (God of War, R&C and Socom to name a few)
So I say that to allow KZ3 to have offline multiplayer I would be happy to see a graphical cut down. It's not like it would be a tragedy if it had graphics similar to Modern Warfare 2 or Socom 4.
Pragmata has sold 1 million copies in two days, Capcom has announced.
I didn't know it came out last Friday, or I would have bought the game. I will try again for this upcoming weekend.
Im really digging it. It reminds me of games from the PS2 era, not visually or how it plays, but like the spirit of it. If you were around for that golden age of gaming, you’ll get what I mean when you play this.
Have you tried Kanitsu-Gami: Path Of The Goddess (also Capcom)? That feels like a PS2-era Capcom game.
Agreed! The art style is amazing in that game. I bought it immediately after I played the demo but haven't started it lol
I know what you mean. I think it really feels like Vanquish, with some Dead Space and Binary Domain thrown in. So maybe more PS3 era but yes it is great.
The next thing I'm mine when I've had my fill of crimson desert. A nice linear action game to contrast the open ended 😗👌
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has now become the second title to win Game of the Year at all five major awards shows.
It just wasn't for you in that way i guess. Can't really argue with it when it wins all the awards and it's the highest rating by players of all time
I thought this game was a load of rubbish. Trying too hard to be art(sy) by people who don’t really understand art but want to make it look like they do. Found it obvious and shallow and just not a fun game. Just seemed like every relentless second they were clutching at trying to feed this superior narrative… the irony being that’s kind of what I’m doing now… maybe that’s art imitating art….
Didn't know the Golden Joystick fan votum was considered one of the "major awards"?
I always thought it's "only" the Big Four - VGA, Bafta, GDC and DICE.
Nonetheless, congrats to Clair Obscur!
Former Naughty Dog artist Gabriel Betancourt explains why the "sweet spot" for game teams is under 200 people and how AAA "factories" kill creativity.
That was a big complaint on KZ2. I can guarantee theyve looked into it, and are gonna fix it. I think if it where to do split screen it would have to be similar to Halo 3's split screen, with black bars on each side of the tv.
Id much rather have this, than degrading to CoDs graphics lol.
I'd much rather have the visuals like they are in kz2, and if they do degrade for splitscreen I hope it's only when playing splitscreen.
but this is my issue with most games today. I remember growing up as a kid and just having a blast with split screen, beating the hell out of each other in goldeneye with a bunch of buddies.
Now days you can't even do this in the same bedroom/living room or without online. To me this is a major major shame and is kind of a step backwards in terms of multiplayer....not being able to just play with buddies....what a shame.
This split screen issue is evident and degrading in many games today. The original Killzone was extremely satisfying in split-screen with my brother even with all the framerate problems. The fact that there were bots and not just us to against each other made the game hundereds of times much more enjoyable!
Splitscreen blows and will always blow. Srry.
