It amazes me how some folk really expect others to rent or buy 2 copies of a game to compare.
Which is really the dafter option? Reading a technical analysis or playing the same game twice on two different systems because you don't trust anybody?
They look pretty identical. The biggest difference is image 4 where the insignia badge is blurrier on the 360 and crystal clear on the ps3.
This is probably down to the textures loading (like we see in Unreal Engine games), but Crytek have done a damn good job of porting to consoles.
I don't think either console "loses".
I know it's an old joke, but it becomes more poignant the more stuff we add to phones:
Can it make phone calls?
The Xbox 360 certainly has more letter in its name.
Is that what you were getting at?
All of which I mentioned are either free or have free versions.
How difficult was it for you to goggle one of those names. Really? You couldn't do that? You just thought you had to get your opinion across no matter how tragically incorrect it may be?
Well done. You qualify for extra lessons after school.
No Gem Miner, Ur-Quan Masters, Dink Smallwood, Angband (or Nethack or Slash'Em if that's to your liking), Hunky Punk?
For shame!
See the stunning scenes of the stunning stunner stunning stun stun game of stunning development stun values!
Stunning!
Edit: Nice tech demo. I remember something similar coming with my GeForce 256 card 10 years ago.
I'm always weary of things proclaiming "The Truth".
What truth? That Crysis 2 and Killzone 3 are not the same game? That they were made by different companies?
Or perhaps they were made by the same global syndicate! The Truth is out there!
Edit: We'll he's using a camera to take low resolution pictures from the screen. You can't argue with "The Truth".
Whilst I don't care if a game is linear or open, I often feel that in linear games there is a sense of them being too scripted.
I can't count the amount of times in Uncharted 2, Half-Life 2, FEAR, and endless other linear games where when something important was happening, I was looking the wrong way!
The difficulty is if you really want the player to see it, you take the control out of his hands (cut scene, or on-rail shooter), whilst at least in an ...
I still have an original fat PS2, so why the hell not?
For that matter I still have an original Gameboy and Commodore 64 - both work perfectly. So why don't we just enjoy what we have, rather than concentrate on some expensive future?
2 generations time there will be kids going "do you remember the good old days of the 360 and PS3?"
If those are the worst exclusives, then the PS3 has a fairly decent library of games.
At worst these games are average or uninspired, and at best you could call them niche.
I quite liked Lair, and despite a patch allowing you to use the thumbsticks, I still used the six-axis. It's the best dragon game since Drakan: Order of the Flame.
I think the author of the article is one of those people that measure games on a 7-10 scale. Anything bel...
Doesn't this game contain assets from other games (like Age of Empires)?
Throwing rocks in glass houses is fun, I guess.
But I actually want to hear an opinion on which techniques a developer uses between platforms, because I find the technology and what it can accomplish interesting.
You don't get that on this website, and you don't get the full story from the Lens of Truth, so as I said - I'll wait for more impartial advice from DF.
Looks like the 360 one has a higher contrast and saturation... This should be corrected for a real comparison.
I'll wait for the Digital Foundry.
Of course they do?
How else are they going to convince fans to buy the same old game without the aid of shinier graphics?
They're already stretching it with the Gears games - 3 games with little to differentiate between them.
Oh wow.
We started off with Learn to play Guitar Videos.
But those were lame, so we played Parapa The Rapper.
But we got bored so we played Guitar Hero.
But we needed more so we played Rock Band.
But we needed more so now we'll play alongside a Learn to play Guitar Video.
Genius.
I can understand why they did this. But I think making a fuss about it could be seen to be exploiting the situation, rather than just release it as planned.
They'll be crucified by the mainstream media, either way.
Laggy Online on 360, or Simulated Online on PS3.
Not sure what's better.
Cool your jets, I'm sure MS would make a lot more money from word of mouth and advertisement-driven-searches for Bing than they would lose giving money to charity.
Oldest business trick in the world: Act like you give a shit, and watch the money roll in! You ever see the original Miracle on 34th St?
Luls, nice.
Killzone 3 - 5/10
Homefront - 6/10
Bulletstorm - 8/10
I thought they might actually be reviewing on a 1-10 scale, but it looks like they only do that when it suits them.
