I have not played Far Cry 2 yet, but I'm pretty certain that Uncharted Drakes Fortune has better graphics than Far Cry 2.
I have yet to buy a 3rd party multiplatform game that looks better graphically than the PS3 exclusives I own. Uncharted Drakes Fortune is on the graphical detail level of MGS4 and GT5P if you are trying to find a comparison, but MGS4 looks slightly better than Uncharted.
In IGN's review they gave the Graphics for FarCry 2 f...
My first console was a SNES, but after the SNES Sony captivated me with the Playstation 1 in the mid-90's, and since then I haven't looked back. All the great franchises that I loved were on the Playstation platform, so I really didn't see a reason to buy any other console back then.
If the Xbox 360 wasn't so unreliable there's a VERY "slight" chance that I would have got a 360, but more than likely I'll be just sticking to my PS3 this generation.
I do thin...
Polyphony Digital had not even released a Car Damage update yet for the game, so I'm not surprised it's fake. I remember Kazunori Yamauchi said that possibly there would be car damage for GT5P this Fall through an update, but if it hasn't come now, it's probably not coming at all.
Not having Car Damage in GT has never been an issue for me because it's all about the actual racing experience and the cars for me. Hopefully the full version of GT5 will have damage, but if it doesn't,...
@ Silogon,
I don't think that Sony even produces the 40GB PS3's anymore. Now the 80GB PS3's are standard across almost all major territories now. I'm not sure if Australia has gotten the 80GB PS3's yet, but most of Europe has them and Japan will be getting them very soon too.
Sony did the right thing by chopping the 40GB models and making the 80GB PS3's the new standard because they probably realized that a lot of games were requiring installs and they wanted to give...
I didn't know that Far Cry 2 required a PS3 install and this is very good to know, and I do plan on buying it, but I really don't see what's the big deal about an install. I probably would have read about the Far Cry 2 install for the PS3 in the next issue of the Official Playstation Magazine in their review of the game, but I guess it's good to know before hand.
As soon as an article is approved about a PS3 game having an install usually flamewars and fanboy comments start going...
I really like that PS3 with the Dragon on it and of course the MGS4 PS3 is just wicked.
If I had that MGS4 PS3 I wouldn't even use it, I would have it locked in a glass display case in my room or something because it looks more like a piece of artwork.

"knowing PS3 is not suited for games"
The PS3 is actually the best suited for games when the devs. making the games utilize it the right way in my opinion.
If the 360 was as reliable as the PS3 then maybe I could consider it best suited for gaming, but the 360 is an unpredictable machine and I'd rather have a reliable system for gaming because gaming consoles are SUPPOSED to be reliable. I'm not saying the PS3 is flawless when it comes to...
"I dont understand how a console with CELL and BLU RAY does worse graphics?
makes no sense to me! "
Fallout 3 didn't ultilize the Blu-ray in the PS3 that's for sure, because if it did the 360 version would have been on 3 or more discs.
3rd party developers aren't taking advantage of the PS3's capabilities. It's really a shame that there's so much potential waiting for them to use just wasting away and it's Sony 1st party studios that are taking...
Even if it was possible to hack the PS3, there's no way I would do it on my current PS3 because of how much I paid for it, but I would be willing to take a chance on it if I paid around $200 bucks or so for my PS3.
I don't think that piracy has hit the video game industry as much as the music industry, because illegal downloads has REALLY killed a lot of the music industry and has affected some album sales because now-a-days it's almost rare that an artist's album goes platinum i...
I feel the exact same way, sometimes I wish the Japanese would learn to appreciate games from non-Japanese developers more and non-JRPG's because if they could, I think that the gaming industry in Japan could be much larger.
GTA4 was a pretty good game, but it definantly did not deserve all the perfect scores it got.
I was really disappointed with the graphics in GTA4, I mean, Uncharted Drakes Fortune had better graphics than GTA4 and it came out in 07.
If I was to rate GTA4, I would give it a 8.5/10... It's a solid game but it's not anything special. For me GTA4 got repetitive really quick and got boring fast... I played San Andreas for hours at a time for nearly 2 years before getting ...
If the PS3 version of Fallout 3 doesn't look as good as the 360 version, it has nothing to do with the PS3's hardware or the PS3's capabilities because if the PS3 is capable of producing games like Uncharted, MGS4, Final Fantasy XIII (even though it's multiplatform all the footage seen from the game is from the PS3 version and the PS3 is the lead platform) GT5P, Heavy Rain, and Killzone 2, Fallout 3 defiantly could have turned out much better.
Developers need to make the PS3 the ...
I really enjoyed Dead Space. There are some parts in the game that may seem a little repetitive, but the game throws different so much at you and almost always keeps things interesting.
Plus, the fact that one of the creatures can pop out at almost any place makes you always cautious and tense while playing the game. One other thing that I like is that usually whenever you are being attacked by one enemy in front of you, there is usually one other enemy or more that's behind you....
I'm going to get Far Cry 2, but I don't think I'll be getting it this month. I bought Dead Space last week and beat it this past Sunday, but I'm going to go through the game again on the hardest difficulty level and I'm sure that it will last me until Fallout 3. I preordered the Collectors Edition for Fallout 3 as well as Collectors Edition Resistance 2, and that's like $160 bucks for 2 games in a matter of one week...
I'll have to give my wallet a break before I buy any more gam...
What about the endings in these games: Shadow of the Colossus, God of War, God of War 2, ICO, etc...?
If Sony didn't have a delay for it and Sony didn't catch the word/phrase in the song that could have offended someone of a different religion, everyone would have been all over Sony just like some gaming websites are right now just because they made the smart decision to delay it.
LBP is one of Sony's biggest games and they just want it to be as perfect as it can be upon release and there's nothing wrong with that, even if it means the game has to be delayed a few weeks. Plus, the ...
Xbox 360 fanboys are jealous because they haven't had a game this year yet that has been rated as high as LBP or even MGS4 for that matter.
If actual gaming sites gave LBP 9's and 10's, people already know that LBP isn't a 6.5 calibur game and that anyone that scores the game that low really didn't even play the damn game.
The Fanboyism this generation is just ridiculous. I sure loved the SNES, PS1, and PS2 days much better than this, because back then everyone seeme...
The PS3 isn't going anywhere and neither is Sony. Sega's consoles were no where near as successful as the PS1 and PS2 was and Sega didn't have the amount of franchises that Sony has built up over the years. Sony's got the largest 1st party and they've got the largest installbase from previous consoles, the Sony brand and Playstation consoles will live on as long as their is competition.
I would also add Don Mattrick to that list as well. It's not surprising that almost the whole list consisted of Microsoft supporters or Microsoft PR because they are the ones that runs their mouths the most.
As far as Playstation 3 sales dipping in Japan, I think that a lot of people are waiting on those LittleBigPlanet 80GB PS3 bundles and Gran Turismo 5 PS3 bundles that are coming out at the end of the month.
I'm not sure if the 80GB PS3's will be sold at the same price as the old 40GB PS3's in Japan like here in the United States, but if you get twice the storage capacity for literally the same price, that is something that worth waiting a few weeks for and I'm sure a lot of peopl...
