I really don't get people who call them "blu rays". The correct term is Blu-ray Disk, or BD for short.
And calling it "the blue rays" really makes my eye twitch...
@GWAVE: Whoa... uncompressed? Do you know the first thing about digital content? Images and sound can compress or expand to fit the space they are given, so this "uncompressed" angle doesn't work. It doesn't even exist. True uncompressed is a painter taking 3 weeks to p...
Every time someone says "there aught to be a law" there usually shouldn't. Laws take away our freedoms. No good can come of a person murdering another person, so we have a law taking that freedom away... and most people are better for it. But to legislate how parents parent is just asking for trouble. Parents shouldn't be forced to parent correctly by laws. They should parent correctly so their children support them in their old age.
You my friend should go read/watch a manga/anime called Deathnote.
@nbsmatambo:
Wow, delusional much?
Not that I'm defending the 360's proprietary solution... pain in the ass..., I just don't think you had your head on straight when you said that. 4/5 of a TERABYTE? With what infrastructure do you suppose we transmit that kind of data? That would be gone... next month, not counting that everyone would be downloading it at the same time...
You mean, people are still playing this on PS3? Good thing you have Killzone 2 now.
So, let me get that straight. If we don't like the controls, you don't want us enjoying this game? The controls would be one of the easier things to change, and I can't understand why they wouldn't just do it.
And what's stopping them from accommodating those "vocal" cod players? I don't subscribe to the "dev knows best" philosophy. You should accommodate the players the way they want to play.
And no, it's far from perfect, just like everything else that has claimed perfection before it. It's good, but it's not perfect.
And before people whine about realism, just know that it's not really what you want. You want realism in graphics, but beyond that,...
Tweaking the y axis made the biggest difference for me because I was always shooting over their heads.
But all I ask for is the simple ability to sight my guns with the trigger. Just swap the crouch and the sight commands, and I'll bother you no more.
I don't know how wanting to be an independent studio translates into hating Microsoft. Perhaps they just like being independent more than they like working with Microsoft. After all, it was Microsoft who helped propel them to stardom.
"Why would you want to spend $300+ on a console only for it to break on you in a year or less in this economy?"
*sigh*
Because Microsoft is financially FALLING ON THEIR OWN F**KING SWORD to support a massively expensive warranty program. One BILLION dollars. Only governments cough up that kind of money on a whim. For those of you who day in and day out call out Microsoft to burn for their sins, this is what they are doing to answer for their crimes.
Here, print out this sticker that says Final Fantasy and stick it on your games. It will make you feel better.
"Even more think that perhaps the combat in the game is just to intense for the 360 to handle and that the combination of the graphics on screen and the buttons being mashed on the controller is too much for the console to handle and it gives up the ghost in the process."
This has got to be a joke, and a poorly executed one at that. It would be just like a dingbat JRPG player to not understand that games are programmed, not woven from pure gold thread by Rumpelstiltski...
Certainly a valid position. It's a great game, but it stops marginally short of being a game-changer. In the end, it's still an FPS constrained by genre conventions, but within those constraints it does a great job.
Of course, I'm always going to temper that with an invitation to the KZ2 cult to disagree with me for not making a Helghast stained-glass window and worshiping it. It's 96% good. It's not 150% good like they want to believe.
Good article, agree all around, but these were multi-platform games.
This is still a great list for the top 5 overrated console games of last year.
Did you just copy a list of licenced shovelware and expect that to pass as a wait-and-see list? Leave it to the professional fanboys.
PSP already had a killer app... being a remote client for the Ps3....
TheTwelve and every other fanboy is delusional and clearly putting up a double standard.
You know for sure you would be screaming "KILLZONED" if it were the other way around.
Just play the game and enjoy it. Why do you need validation that you are playing the "best" game?
The fact that you call us "haters" indicates that we should worship KZ2 regardless of the issues we have with it, because it "is" the best. Bul...
Who cares which one is better. Do you really crave validation that much?
I suppose the worst thing I could do to a person like you is ignore you.
That's right, fear his wrath.
Just another self-righteous consumer. The 360 shouldn't give us this kind of trouble, but I honestly hope people are as unforgiving when YOU make a mistake...
@Armyless:
Textures compress. In fact, even the textures on PS3 are compressed. It's just more efficient to use a compressed texture in runtime.
Geez, next people are going to say that PS3 is so uber powerful, it can ignore all LOD considerations...
