@7thNightVolley - I don't remember anyone saying that the Halo Reach trailer looked too good to be in engine. I actually thought it looked kinda crap, better than ODST, but still not good enough.
People who complained mentioned that it had an unusually high amount of anti-aliasing, which the Digital Foundry guys found, so they said it must have been pre-rendered in-engine footage, with post production effects to smooth out any jagged edges. A lot of companies do this in cutscene...
As long as I get to play the game, I don't care if it sells less, as long as it sells enough for the dev to get a profit, or if fanboys find a tiny problem with it and magnify it.
I'm kinda glad that Capcom delayed these games, but why they didn't delay Dark Void I have no clue. That looks like it's gonna bomb like Bionic Commando
@1.27 - True, though I expect Versus to have as much gameplay as XIII hopefully, but I see what you mean. I'm also not bothered about FF13 being linear, most RPGs are quite linear in the beginning because you need to get a feel for the story and characters in that time.
I just want to ask those that say FF13 hasn't been dumbed down, if Versus comes out and looks significantly better, will you admit that the Xbox 360 limited the game?
^Serious question, not a fanboy question. I'm sure many people still argue that, I think it has been dumbed down (to a certain extent), though that doesn't necessarily make it a bad game. Just that it could have been a better game if it was exclusive to one platform.
@above - It won't work, he's already played the first 5 hours (apparently), I'm guessing he managed to get review code for it.
As long as the game is playable, and is on PS3, it shouldn't matter to PS3 only owners. I don't give a crap personally, I'm probably still getting it on PS3 due to the controller.
Now I see where you were going, of course it won't look as good as movie CG, it's going to look as good as game CG. And game CG can be vary in quality, there may still be aliasing issues, but as long as it looks close to the CG, I'm not bothered.
@optical - You'll notice yourself getting a lot of disagrees for that statement, because the Killzone 2 2005 E3 trailer WAS CGI target render! It was not a prerendered cutscene with post production effects like Insomniac do on their trailers.
And in the end, KZ2 actually looks better than the CGI that they showed, so it is possible for a game to have CGI-like graphics, because KZ2 and Uncharted 2 already proved it's possible.
2010 = The Year of the RPG confirmed
OK, seriously, how is Jack Tretton a douchebag?
He said nothing douchebaggish, he keeps everything above the belt, he talks business, never calls out competitors directly, and he only promotes PS3 games rather than putting down games from the competition. He's a saint compared most of the douches in the industry *cough*Greenburg*cough*.
I no longer trust Keighley, I watched the VGAs (Justin.tv stream so haha no ratings for you), never gonna watch them again. Worst show ever.
God of War 3 - Day 1 buy
Heavy Rain - Day 1 buy
WKC - Buy
Yakuza 3 - Buy
Last Rebellion - Maybe
GT5 - May Import
MAG - Not for me.
Whilst a lot of people (me included) don't like MAG, I know that there are a LOT of SOCOM fans, especially in Europe. And MAG is just like SOCOM, but better and more accessible because it is an FPS. Sony just need to figure out how to convert all those SOCOM fans to MAG fans, although I'm sure most of them are alrea...
This must be what Pachter feels like when he gets something right... :), no hard feelings seedhouse

^(in Dave Chappelle voice) A moment like this, some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this.... :)
Also, told you so.
@mint - Those ARE VGC numbers, then after that they use Famitsu or Media Create numbers. So the first "preview" numbers are VGC guesstimates.
@above - 1.8 million shipped for FF13, 1.5 million sold.
But I agree, we should wait for Media Create, it is always more accurate.
@Saaking - Lost Odyssey is like an old school FF, pretty much an FF clone, and it's very good. One of the best JRPGs this gen, seriously.
@Xeoset - Personally I found the 1000 years of dream boring, because it was just text some sketch images. Would have been much better if they had had some cg movies. I still collected all of the dreams, for the item they gave, but I didn't read any of them except a few.
On topic - I hope to God this is Lost Odyssey 2 and NOT Blue D...
HHG has quite a bit, you could always ask him? Anyway this game is really cool, also from the pictures, spiderman and Old Snake look really good.
btw, anyone know how you "Share" in this, I haven't been able to figure out how to publish tracks, either that or it just doesn't let us do that yet?
Wow that bad huh? I wasn't really gonna get this game anyway, because it didn't look like my type of RPG, but damn 3.5 is very low.
