I'm not getting into the graphics debate, but Seth Luisi confirmed in other previews the game is 720p native and upscaled to 1080p. True, it isn't going to win any awards in the visual department, but when HAS Socom had state of the art graphics, maybe the 1st one? Truthfully, as much of a socomhead as I am, I'm more exited that Sony finally developed a great bluetooth headset(from all accounts). Socom has ALWAYS been the vehicle to facilitate a mass market approach to their audio peripherals...
MS:PR, LBP, R2, Socom, and WipeoutHD. And slim provided you w/ a decent multi-plat slate too (although I think Mercs2 was delayed to 04/09 but replace it w/ SC4). How many games does Sony need to release to placate you? Christ, I'm worrying about buying all these games and paying for X-mas this year.
Anyone who has played the R6V games will attest to that. Pull up the XMB and start typing and the dang menu freezes for about 5 seconds. Never realized I could type that MANY words that fast, only to have re-type them twice. Doh.
I can't believe you got that past ppl here. Bubbles up, I got your "point" sista!!
it might not be such a bad idea (GS voiced concern over a stuttering framerate issue). Plus, the local Gamestops never allowed me to pre-order it since the SKU was never activated - so I've known for awhile now something was amiss. But man I need that new headset though.
Uncharted and R&C plus many others (damn I completely finished both of these in anticipation of trophies too). But Monks, I wouldn't get your hopes up for Call of Duty. IW's too lazy to implement rumble support, so sadly I wouldn't look for anything new from them.
Prepubescent is an adjective of the word prepubertal. It directly corresponds to the word prepuberty. Prepuberty is a period of development immediately preceding puberty (14 for boys and 12 for girls). So any girl over the age of 12 is fair game to you?
Now let's take a look at the very meaning of the word child. Merriam-Webster states all the obvious definitions, but 2 caught my eye. 3a - a person not of age and, 5 - one strongly influenced by another or by a PLACE, or by stat...
What's more it's clear you've never played any SOCOM at all. Gameplay has always trumped graphics in this franchise. Anyway, the retail version has already been confirmed by Seth to be 720p native/1080p upscaled and includes a bluetooth headset that's finally worth owning. Even in this "pre-alpha build", little nuances like screen tearing have already been improved from the earlier footage. The "collision detection" is fine. People were dropping like flies. The issue of &q...
They went all out - new maps, fixed issues, new ACES, balanced out guns, added MP options, fixed obtrusive camera in cover mode, etc... and all for FREE. The game always had in-game msg and a great lobby system. Definitely unexpected.
Kudos to Insomniac - amazing we're getting a 3rd gen PS3 title already.
throw in front mission 3 and chronotrigger and you got my 3 fav RPGs & fav shooter all time from square w/o the initials FF on the box. C'mon Square, instead of complaining about your profit margin, why don't you actually release the games we want over here in NA and EU?
LOL and I guess there's a first for everything! And I agree w/ King that GoW skus release in March. And Sony does like to show off 1st party IPs obscenely early in the dev process. Therefore, I think E3 will show a brief teaser and the game will release March of 2010. Why? IMO although GoW3 and KZ2 are different genres, I seriously doubt Sony releases two of their biggest IPs within 30 days of each other. And with LBP, Socom, R2, WipeoutHD, Siren, and KZ2 all shipping before March, Sony has a...
I NEVER would've thought I'd see such irresponsible journalism from a respected media source. Using December 07's numbers from Sony while using Microsoft's current numbers is little astonishing to say the least. I've read fanboy blogs that are more factually accurate and less biased. She (the author) clearly doesn't comprehend the nature of the industry; thus she attaches the 3.3 bil R&D loss to disappointing sales. If anything the concept of "strategic pricing" should've illumi...
one online mode only - more available for free later. Utterly retarded for a game that focuses on MP. Overly sensitive controls, no prone position if you like sniping, open-ended maps and destructible environments (while a good thing) negate the any CQC combat like shotguns, no co-op in the SP campaign - even though the game features 3 persistent AI teammates (WTF?), and DICE would rather give us 30 preview vids of BC rather than fix the atrocious screen tearing present in the SP campaign dem...
The PS3 (11/17/2006) wasn't even out when Dead Rising (8/?/2006) was released. You can make an argument that Capcom should've ported it instead of LP but they didn't (remember the Japanese love mechs, not zombies). You say they're not truly multi-plat but then criticize them for cancelling a PS3-only RPG? Should Capcom ignore Nintendo & Japan just to placate you? Judging by the looks of it - RE5, BC, and SF4 ALL will appear simultaneously on both systems. That's very multiplat-esque if y...
Free Radical's on the phone - they want their ego back.
I love playing that PSN vid for company with my audio system cranked to lvl 4.
Since you obviously have internet access, google the metal gear timeline and watch any chronology piece and it'll give you a complete rundown leading up to MGS4. Well worth it to fully enjoy the experience of Kojima's masterpiece.
according to Gamestop's database. If anything the game will slip a cple of weeks. Expect it mid-Nov.
So for anyone w/o access to a 360/PC and enjoys a mature storyline and immersive graphics, you have a small window of opportunity lol.
The main difference Socom has over all others, is the bulk of gameplay removes RESPAWNING. It's you and your gun and your teammates versus the other side. You don't regenerate health. When you die you're dead until the next round. Thus, your kill to death ratio really illustrates your skill in Socom. Usually the maps are played best of 11, 5 minutes per round. Some people are turned off by this, but I love the inherent added tactical skill required to have a 6 kill round. When you snatch vict...
