PS3 looks slightly better. Both look good though.
As anything gains in popularity, you get more of the immature & annmoying kids just because of numbers. You have to take the good with the bad.
But in the long run, wide consumer support for a product, and tense competition between brands on competing products is good for consumers. It means there will be lots more cool games to come.
I played this game on the PS3 before the patch. It may not be the best game for graphics on the PS3, but at no time while playing it did I think the graphics looked bad. I never even tripped on that stuff while playing the game.
Regardless what some "experts" tell us on what we can or can't see, the issue at hand is what are you being charged for when you buy the ticket? Are they telling consumers they play their movies from the same blu ray discs anyone can buy in the store? If not, they are cheating people.
I find a lot of the expert claims on what level of detail people can see or hear to be dubious. There are studies that show people do actually sense the audio/video resolution that digi...
Fallout 3 was a great game, but if it was just a FPS it would have been one of the worst ever. Enemy AI is non existent, so in order to make it more difficult, they just increase damage resistance for the stupid computer characters that run at you with a club while you are shooting at them.
I recently played the demo for WET, and I don't think that game advances the shoot em up game world. It seems to borrow from different game genres, and jumps between slasher, platformer, but...
No offense to Bungie, but this just sounds like typical marketing talk to me. "Insert name of company here" does an amazing job with everything they do, which ic why they are so great. ;-)
Blu Ray is roughly 1/4 the resolution of film. No way are they getting the same quality as a reel distributed by the movie studio. Digital projection of the original source material is the best presentation of a film in the cinema these days. Blu Ray is a home consumer product. Much better than DVD, but much less than cinema quality. Those people paying to see the movies in the cinema, and getting a Blu Ray showing, are getting ripped off by the cheapass cinema operators.
Socomer 1979 - you don't sound like someone knowledgable enough about being cool to talk about "cool points". Your diatribe was not very cool.
The point of backwards compatability is to not have to repurchase software you already own when upgrading hardware. Re-releasing the games is not an alternative to backwards compatibility, it is a contradiction. The very last thing on the list of things I will never buy is a PS3 port of a PS2 game I already own.
I liked this game. The combat was fun, so even though a lot of missions were similar, it is all the kind of stuff I like to do in a fps game. The one thing that was annoying after a while is the armed checkpoints every few feet. If only they had more fast travel options, and militia didn't respawn within minutes after clearing a checkpoint, this game would have been better.
The question wasn't which device is a better "media machine". The question was which is a better home theater system. Accessing media is not necessarily within the scope of what people think of as "home theater experience". The home theater experience is about tryng to get closer to the cinema experience when watching movies at home, not how many crappy divx or mp3 files you can link from your PC.
They should spend some time with it, and make an attempt to play the whole thing at least...if they run out of time, thern so be it, and write your review to make a deadline. But at least make the attempt. I can understand you can't play through the whole game of Fallout 3 just for a review, but at least spend enough time with it to warn us of potential pitfalls.
I can think of some games that I bought after good reviews, and then found out for myself the game was seriously fl...
When a company talks about a tech device being a ten year lifecycle product, they know they have to take it on the chin for the first few years until they can get costs down, before they can sell it at a reasonable price. I don't think anyone working at Sony is surprised their long term plan is going down pretty much as expected.
As far as Wii goes, I don't know why it is even compared. Not trying to sound like a video game snob, but it seems mostly a different market for that...
This is one of the biggest games yet for the PS3, and they have been keeping it secret that they will release it in two weeks?
Maybe the website should be called BS Beyond instead of PS Beyond.

I agree, and I think when the game makers get defensive & try to claim some tie in to musicianship, even indirectly, it feeds right into the musicians irritation with misconceptions bewteen playing a gamne & being a musician. If the game makers just came out & said, "Hey, this is a fun game, but it doesn't in any way teach you how to play an instrument"...some of the musician critics might then respond, "Oh, yeah, ok. What was I harping ab...
If you don't have a 1080P TV & Blu Ray player, your "home theater" is crap, and not even worth discussing.
This isn't about musicians being ignorant to pop culture. Successful commercial musicians are very saavy about pop culture, and thus very protective in not wanting pop culture to trivialize their work into a commercial product it was never originally conceived for. Those that create music have the right to express their opinions that they think these rhythm games are just making a lazy buck, while taking great music out of context from being a purley listening experience, and turning it into ...
I am beyond the age of giving a crap on how I rank compared to other video game players. Trophies are totally irrelevent to me, and I really don't pay any attention to them when I am playing games.
People buy themes? Why? What a waste of money.
People that want to be called "gamers" can wear that badge. I play a lot, and want no part of that little click mentality. It isn't anything to brag about back in the real world. Might as well put on a name tag that says "geek", if you think you are cool being known as a "gamer". ;-)
