Who cares if they stick with DVD again AS long as all the games are installed on a massive HDD or SSD. Ask yourself...is this a problem with PC gaming? As long as ALL Xbox's come with massive HDD it should not matter at all.
Having games run off the HDD or SSD is better than running the game on optical media whether its Blu-Ray or DVD-9. Very little load times and no damage disks to worry about after the install and not disk spinning.
And you know some people on this site will be angry about this article.....
Developers say this all the time. It's par of the course. What else are they going to say from a PR standpoint?
The only things left at this point for theses consoles is further optimizations of code. Changing Art Style. Altering level design. There is no more power to be had.
Developers like ND are very creative and can achieve these things, however a systems power is finite and direct.
You only have X amount of processing power, memory, bandw...
Fully agree. It's time to see new hardware. This console generation is pretty much over. All companies did well. There were many surprises along the way, but the great thing for us consumers had us witnessing a much closer competitive situation this time around unlike the last two generations past were the Playstation outsold the competition many times over.
This generation was a lot closer and in being so provided all companies to step up and push each other. However i...
Expensive but interesting...
You knew something like this was coming because there were many Wii remote hacks for the PC ages ago...

s0 much going on in this game its amazing...No game does this with that fidelity and destruction. Amazing. Kudos DICE

Only on N4G.COM....
There is only so much you can do with game engines on these consoles.
The areas left to improve game engines for consoles is what we are seeing on the PC...
That is more real time effects. More interactive environments. Larger Map areas. More open play.
Unfortunately ALL these features require a system with more memory, bandwidth and processing power...something the Xbox360 and PS3 do not have....
Based on these pictures, the E3 build is far better than the final build. Why in the devil did they make those changes?
Texture detail looks sharper and more refined in the E3 build. The Final build does not look as good...
PC games support 100's of 3D game titles.
This is referring to console games...which is very limited right now. They are coming but you won't see a huge jump in 3D gaming for consoles until next generation at least
Not one of those games run at 60fps mcstorm. They run at 30fps or less.
What you also find is as soon as developers start to implement advance graphical features such as HDR, and other forms of real time lighting and effects such as Global Illumination and do not use mostly pre baked or pre calculated effects in console games, game resolutions have to be dropped and or frame rates because these consoles simply do not have the processing power, bandwidth and memory to handle t...
Exactly. I have played it for hours and it is exactly like MW2. That might piss off many people on this site with me saying this however the game is nothing more than an expansion pack that is dressed up as a full retail game costing $60
The game imo is dated and the same and all that goes with it, however this article should never been approved as it is just some guy ranting and crying.
Bio Shock is one fantastic game. That and system shock. Pure goodness
Modern warfare has so many noticeable low resolution textures its almost comical. I can name numerous PC shooters that do not have this issue.
GOTY awards are deceiving because most games that come out early in the year get the shaft. Moreover, most PC games get passed over because its the PC platform.
Looks exactly the same on both systems. There is no different in looks.
Should be interesting with those prices and see how long it stays at those prices when quad core tablets and super phones are released around the same time.
Sony might be dropping the prices of those memory cards and the Vita sooner rather than later because of this heated mobile competition.
And you know this...how? Are you the amazing kreskin?
And why does this matter? Why do stories like these continuously get approved on this site?
