Besides the fact that you can see the horrible black outlines of the controllers and the white 360, the boxart for the game clearly says "Only on Xbox 360" so this is obviously fake and GI should be ashamed for even posting this. I'm not saying it's not possible, but THIS is definitely fake.
You guys make me laugh, because seriously you all just want to sit back and compare a game on a MICROSCOPIC level, as if it matters. Personally, the way I look at it is if you can't see the differences with the naked eye without having to put your face 2 inches from your screen and zoomed in to 1000x then does it really matter? Because if you can't see the difference in a NORMAL playing environment (as in: sitting several feet back from your TV) then it's a moot point. Now, if it's such a maj...
Not sure I'd really agree with this seeing as how God of War games have been critically acclaimed, whereas Dante's Inferno is getting between 6-7's from most major publications. At least with Prototype and Infamous they both saw pretty good reviews (with Infamous being higher overall).
Nothing to see here people, move along. Blaze is right, this is just saying that the game supports it, but it's not saying it 'has' it. Also, people forget that there's more stuff crammed onto the PS3 disk than the 360 one (voice overs, etc.), so for all we know this could just be Square's way of giving 360 gamers the chance to get the extra stuff that otherwise would have been on a 4th disk.
I didn't notice that, but maybe it's just me, but I've always found the design of PS3 boxes to be better than the 360's. Not talking about covers, obviously, since they are the same, just referring to the clear as opposed to in-your-face-green and smaller box design that's more in line with the size of the disk and not the old school DVD boxes.
haha... pure awesomeness...
It's a giant iPod down to the letter. There's nothing in this that separates it from the iPod. Same everything. The few differences it has don't make it worth owning if you've all ready got an iPod or iPhone and many people are bashing it (including most of the industry it's in) simply because it's not revolutionary. It was lazy. THey just blew up the iPod and called it a day.
Yea I remember that story and how a ton of people blew it off. Good job on the accuracy a whole year in advance
Great article.
For those wondering, a big factor for why the 360 will be very limited on 3D if/when it ever supports it is the decision to go with HDMI 1.2 instead of 1.3 as found in the PS3. And no, 1.2 cannot be upgraded so you're stuck with it.
Then again, this will just sort of be one of those things that differentiates the consoles. On the PS3 side they will eventually start making a bigger push for 3D since that will be their obvious advantage over MS, whereas ...
My friend picked this game up on PS3 and I grabbed the 360 version and he brought it over so we could see if it was as bad as everyone said it was and yes, it was. It's a very noticeable difference and the fact that you seem to honestly not see it only further justifies your limited credibility in spotting poor marks in videogames. Maybe that's why 99% of anything you review is always a "must buy"?
It's not a HORRIBLE port, but it's definitely a step down from the 360...
So IGN removes the part where it makes fun of Halo, but they let it make fun of other games. What's the point there?
I'm sorry, but this review was lame - and no, I'm not complaining about the score, but rather the fact that they never really say why it deserved its score. Hell, they don't really say anything about the game at all really except for possibly ruining the game's ending boss battle a little. I played the first and quite enjoyed it, but felt that the story took way too long to get interesting (which continues to be a problem according to OXM) and overall I would have given the first game an 8 du...
Originally ODST was suppose to be nothing special but when they announced it was going to be $60 that's also when they said it was going to be different and "worth" the $60. So you're only half right. They did say it was going to be better and it wasn't. It was just Master Chief Jr with a different gun.
I know Bungie and MS keep saying that "every new Halo game will be completely different" and honestly I'm hoping that's the case with Halo: Reach because they flat out lied about all the rest of the games about being completely different/better than the previous entry. I'm tired of them abusing the Halo name. Notice the complete lack of attention ODST received from GOTY awards? That's right, because it wasn't deserving of anything and that game - according to MS and Bungie - was al...
If you wanted any more proof that this dude is completely full of crap in absolutely all regards, this headline just did it. A controller'less technology to receive vibration? Ok buddy... put down your crack pipe that you obviously have next to your consoles and seriously leave this industry.
I'd agree with a 7. All the sites that gave this game anything above a 7 are either diehard fanboys or were scared of pissing off the fans. The campaign was a snooze fest and easily the most boring solo campaign I've ever played. Firefight is the only good part and it's not worth 60 bucks on its own.
I was disappointed with ODST after beating it. It's totally a DLC, the campaign was boring as hell. Firefight is the only good thing out of it and that's worth $60? Um...no
So, the higher scores of games on certain platforms couldn't possibly have anything to do with just typically overall better quality of games? It HAS to be fanboy'ism? I'm sorry, but if you average out the PS3/360/Wii exclusive scores across ALL networks, PS3 exclusives have typically scored higher overall. That just has to do with a better quality game. By this article's impression, every site on the net would be PS3 bias if you're averaging out exclusive game scores.
Fail
I had been saying the whole time that the shots MS were showing were photo mode and what did I get for it? Disagrees. And now the truth is finally out. About damn time people realized something that was so obvious in the first place.
