,,,is an ingame render rather than a artwork, all are really mystic and epic looking...great !!!
While its safe to say that Lair has the best looking and best reacting ocean(totally physics based) ever in a videogame, Drake's Fortune 's jungle appears to be the finest one yet also. It might not have some of the most populated animal life like Kojima made into MGS3 for the PS2 complete with insects, fish, birds, fruits, snakes, frogs and Markhors etc. but aesthetics wise, colouring wise and handling of immersive game nuances like insane usage of sound, hiding behind a tree, walking on log...

Definite terms, so obvious from so long:
The 'weakness' factor pushed Microsoft to think in console-making terms 6 years from now. Microsoft was devastated by Sony's success in PS1 era. When first Xbox died the company lost billions, especially affected were the consumers.
Microsoft's 'fear' of extinction pushed them to just pump their deep pockets out, capitalize on their names as a business software firm by showing connectivity between Vista and 360, just mov...
...how amazing and insanely spellbindingly beautiful Heavenly Sword is coming up, and the technical unprecedence of Lair, I think Killzone 2 will definitely deliver. Being developed by around 120 devs with 20+ mill budget, I think that will be the killer-app for all time. I've read somewhere I don't remember that the game will have 64 player online, that is 24+ than Resistance, and far ahead of anything out there, its going to be spanking hot with all those vehicle variations and multi-themed...
I think just as Capcom said that they were making DMC4 as a re-introductory game for fans new to the series and then revealed their intention of taking the game multi-platform, so has Itagaki said that NG-Sigma is being made to introduce PS fans to the franchise. Now why would PS fans be needed to be introduced to a franchise if they are not going to be 'shared' with installments of it in the upcoming time ? There is where I get a clear idea that yeah, after NG-Sigma, the NG-2 will definitely...
They make an HD version of 'Shadow of the Colossus', or an upgraded remake like NG-Sigma for the PS3. For Colossus is THE NEXT-GEN GAME of all times past, present and future. There is just no other software out there that can thwart its technical, aesthetic and gameplay prowess !!!
-They 'completely abandoned' Xbox users, even in 2005 they were promisisng their consumers of 'good-times-ahead', HaHaHa !!!
-They 'completely abandoned' XP for they are damn care about the userbase, all they care about is business, milking the fanbase first and then leaving them in-the-middle-of-nowhere is their way.
-360 owners are going to be next, they totally said they don't need HDMI, now they are upgrading for it...soon we'll see a 360 with HD-DVD or Blu-R...
"Crysis":
Crysis is on a PC, the system that has changed very little with the passage of time. Ubisoft started with PC, they have the most crucial knowledge of programming on a PC. They are putting everything they have to push the limits of graphics on a PC. But its a fact that only lighting is 'procedural' in Crysis(check 'wikipedia'). Biggest of thing is they'll have a 800+ $ GPU onboard, that'll be released in 2008 to throw these visuals, anybody can do the same visuals wi...
I bet the biggest thing to blast most of the people away is going to be the gameplay. The game is already perfect in most of the ways, in visuals, music, physics, cinematic presentation and emotional storyline, but the true star of this heavenly event is the gameplay, when you have arount a 1000 enemies to kill,
you humiliate them,
rip them apart,
shove them on other enemies,
use three stance formations from your sword,
use spears,
objects,
<...
...I think another reason that this game has an appeal is because of its horror-detective like approach. Such a thing is a blend of Castlevania, Forbidden Siren and Rule of Rose like approach. It results in a soothing and calm gameplay and almost insane world-exploration. As we know that there are around 6 individual and totally different 'themes' of the worlds in this game, exploration and enjoyment from each is a must.
That vegetation and those flowers are just SWEEET !!!

"It's when a producer has a game that can work on the 'DVD level' that a game will go multiplatform".
WOW ! and I sure do hope FF-XIII is also not a "DVD level" game for that 'DVD level' category is only texture-deep basically and ain't deserve to be called proper next-gen. MGS4 appears to be defining the next-gen thing especially the utilization of a hi-medium such as Blu-Ray. The quality of sound, visuals and gameplay all in all will be spect...
...They are talking about 400 mill. 'Euros'..."Euro the currency like Dollar, Lera or Yuan", not 400 mill. systems ! You 360 folks are real nerds, Sony achieved its 400mill Euro earnings on 600,000 systems sold and making record sales all around Europe. Its more PS3 in 2 days than 360 made in the whole first month in Europe. It makes me laugh how you would interpret such stupidly out of such clear words, and even take time to write about it HaHaHa !!!
"The PS3 DIFFERENCE" !!!
Not just hi-quality textures...like gears had. An excellent emotional oriental story, state of the art gameplay, intense physics, multi-themed environments, truly next-gen AI of 100s if not thousands of NPCs on-screen(not like overrated gears which had only 3 crappy NPCs at a time), Hopefully 1080p and over 12 hours of gameplay, WOW !!!. Bring it on Sony, its instant next-gen and a day-1 buy !
...is the PS2's stunning GT4 game engine blowed up into HD in a few months time. There is no next-gen development behind it, its not even a Ninja Gaiden Sigma like remake, BUT still it looks far better than PGR3. No one in the world can beat Kazunori Yamauchi when it comes to racing games. He was awarded within the first 30 folks of the top 50 MOTOR-TREND trend-makers, even ahead of Ferari and Mitsubishi CEOs. Its real flattering to see that even PGR4 is compared with the PS2 engine game, Kaz...
Then 360 can't afford it !

Here ^^^, Kojima himself said even blu-ray isn't enough for the MGS4 monster. Next-gen is all about never-before-had overall experience, not just never-before-seen textures which is in 360's case HaHaHa !!!
Real hi-quality sound, multi-themed environments, complex gameplay design, physics...etc. you need each of these...
And I MEAN next-gen And we all know that it IS ! then 360 can't just afford it. Kojima himself said once that even blu-ray isn't enough to contain this 'MONSTER' :

360's supposed next-gen is all about hi-quality textures, that's all, but it ain't next-gen. PCs have been doing this for two years or so. For an adventure game, next-gen is all about more animatio...
...fanbase uptil now. Sony was honest and clear from day 1 because they are really sincere with games industry, they bring innovation and solid technology from day 1. All MS is after is a business term and market share. Can't you see they started with trying to get as many exclusive titles as they can just to be like Sony's PS2 HaHaHa, they are trying to live a past success of Sony in this industry. While Sony is bringing new approaches, they are basing this time on things like Little Big Pla...
Your style is amusing and interesting man, HaHaHa it really made me laugh(in a good sense). Please tell us and the rest oof the world how do you enter that uber active games journalist 'mode':
-via a console command ?
-a switch ?
-through a portal ?
-audio / visual sensory input ?
-Philadelphia experiment ?

You have got to play the 3rd one "Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal" if you want to have a good understanding of all past things as well as its the best single-player and pretty good multiplayer action in there.
R&C: Deadlocked, which is the 4th part has great gameplay but is more focused and fun when multiplayer, also its the best multiplayer with splitscreen part. It doesn't shed much light on past and is less funny, more dark. The PS3 game R&C: Future is...
