,yes its great to have user created levels,but anyone that has played P.C stuffs with mods knows what the downside to that is. I would rather have a fair game than get frustrated, because you blast the hell out of a guy and he just stands there and then kills with one shot!!Thats what you 'mod' guys have to look forward to.Thats one of the reasons i left P.C gaming in the first place.
I believe this is of major concern, not because 60fps is essential in a racer, but because 30fps sounds an alarm bell over what the hardware is capable of.There are always compromises to be made between resolution,framerate and graphic fx, but i'm surprised that this title required a drop in framerate.Maybe its so awesome its justified, but i haven't seen that from the clips so far.
because i know it would have sounded biased and unfair, even though i did give some much overlooked and important caveats regarding the Killzone demo.So, to keep it more nuetral i'll just say this; like the rest of you guys i was extremely impressed by the Killzone 2 demo considering the minor problems that have been put down to the 'pre pre Alpha stage'By the way, when is this due for release? I'm not sure i'll remember how good it looked by then!!Halo looks cool, but will play white hot, al...
i'm sure as hell not saying i won't be playing my 360 or PS3 in ten years time, of course i will. Hell i still play my Atari 'woody'from time to time,but predominantly, i play my 360 (don't have a PS3 yet),because its capable of giving me the most immersive experience currently available on a home console.When MS releases a new console in three or so years time, i'll be waiting and ready for the new gen and unbelievable s/w that will bring. C'mon, in reality 5-6 years is plenty for a games co...
you know what? On the first point about the standard hdd, i agree one hundred percent.Microsofts biggest mistake was to release a hdd-less 360 machine.Regarding the 10 year life cycle argument,everyone knows its not MS's intention to have a 10 year life cycle,so that's a mute point.Besides, I personally think any console will not go beyond a 5-6 year cycle in technology terms, at least.I don't know why ,but Sony's thinking on many issues relating to next-gen consoles seems, a bit odd!
...
does anyone know how the Blu-ray and HD-DVD sales figures compare to standard DVD player sales?
On the one hand i sympathize with J.T. as it appears some multiplatform titles appear to be the same or better on the 360.However, before you can make any assumptions as to why that may be you have to look at the design philosophies of MS and Sony.It's apparent to me that MS designed the 360 with the developer in mind.While not completely ignoring leading edge tech, i.e multi-procs and advanced GPU,MS have still designed a console for the current market.Sony, obviously had different design cr...
Doh! Wrong thread.
seems to be shaping up nicely.I'm looking forward to this title a lot,but i'm hoping they concentrate more on the fast paced action and combat, than on making the corners too difficult to get round like on some of the latter stages of the PS2 version.Still nice to see a good franchise being updated to HD and possibly online multiplayer.
Codemasters thought they would sell bucket loads on the 360, they didn't.so, now they gotta hype it for PS3,i'm not saying it won't look better or anything like that,i'm just saying the main reason Codemasters are saying this is to get someone to buy a game they thought would sell itself, but didn't.
we can't tell a lot from one still.Lets see some in-game,nothing else will do.
They have a long history with Sony and above all they are Japanese developers.I don't think they will want to bring MGS to the 360, but may be forced to financially, if PS3 sales don't improve quickly.Personally, i don't think MGS will do half as well on the 360 as Konami may think.I can only speak for myself, but i have very little interest in games that have a Japanese slant and have never liked MGS series.That's not to say i don't like any Japanese developed games, just most of the ones de...
My point exactly.
Firstly, it may well be that M&S are refusing to stock 360's due to reliability problems, i have no inside knowledge of that.however, lets get thing in perspective.M&S is not a 'huge' retailer, in fact they where on the verge of bankruptcy a couple of years ago.Next they are not primarily an electrical retailer, they are mostly a clothing retailer with a much smaller electrical dept.I felt the need to correct this information for the benefit of my American cousins who have been misled...
M&S isn't really a 'posh' store, it just thinks it is! People who shop there are not posh people, they just think they are.It's where U.K people go to buy underwear!
racist? Not sure? Thats why we have laws to help guide us.Anyway,just a word about all these references to Cole train in Gears. Didn't anyone find him just a tiny bit stereo typed? I'm blocked from seeing the mentioned article, so i can't comment directly on that,but some interesting views being posted as usual.@Truthhurts 25.Yes, makes you think doesn't it
Another $100 would really make people buy a PS3, this first hundred probably won't make a substantial difference.I'm saying that only on the basis of my own reaction to the news,which is hey, good news,but i'll wait a bit longer for another cut before i buy.Hdd size doesn't really matter,since Sony were sensible enough to allow standard upgrades.Nice move Sony, but no cigar.
Edit@quackpot below:
Don't doubt your logic, Sony are sure to do whatever is required.Thats good...
From who's point of view has the 360 failed? I don't think the vast majority of 360 owners think it has failed.On the contrary,most think it delivers in spades,with great games,great online and now,great support! So who exactly is it, that think its failed? Oh you mean people who don't actually own one. Well, my answer to that is easy,don't buy one.Still, despite it's purported failure it's still managed to sell 3 times as many consoles as its nearest rival.Yes the 360 has had a major problem...
to me personally.There's plenty of good games coming on both platforms,so it's no biggie if either side loose one or two.However,If i had to predict anything about exclusives at this moment in time it would be this;i believe the only PS3 exclusives you are likely to see in the near future are from Japanese Developers.Put plainly, this is linked to the substantially smaller numbers of PS3's currently sold, when compared to 360 sales.Not a bash at any console, but obviously Devs want to maximis...
it uses four cell CPU's working in parallel to; almost instantaneously, calculate which buttons the consumer has pressed and furthermore,two rsx chips working in sli mode for the lcd number display!...
Erm, in case you are in any doubt,i'm joking, of course.
