While I said I doubt this is 1080p, I will say that GT5 better have way better environments and some seriously good damage. To me, Forza 2 might be the better racing experience. But no way they go through that conference with the bragging that guy did and not mention 1080p native. If they had it, they would have been ALL over that fact. So now you guys are taking a google translated article and going with it. :/
Don't you guys think while the developers kept on saying that it was the best looking game that he would mention 1080p? My guess is this game can run at 1080p, but isn't 1080p native. For Halo 3, they list on the box 1080p, but the scaler is doing the work. I bet my account this game isn't 1080p native. I mean even on the official Forza site, their screenshots are 720p resolution.
MS has a way of saying a game is 1080p without it ever being 1080p. Here is Halo 3 saying it can do...
They also always focus a bit on PC gaming. With Windows 7 around the corner, they will be pimping the show to convince gamers to upgrade to Windows 7. And as for the Zune HD, MS obviously squarely wants to compete with the touch, which means games as well. Watch for MS touting Zune HD / 360 / PC connectivity for a pretty big chunk. Watch for it.
Man, this goes to show how important GT5 is going to be for the PS3 in Europe. If Sony could have a price cut and a GT5 bundle in Europe when it releases, there would be very little stopping the PS3 for the months after in that region. It could very well be that GT5 outsells MGS4. Sony could really be a good position coming out of E3 if they show GT5 and Forza 3 is shown around the same time. It'll be interesting to compare the two.
I think this pretty much confirms Team ICO showing more at E3.
It comes down 100% to price. If they couldn't have this kind of increase after slashing their prices to where their entry level model was half the price of the PS3 entry level console? It's pretty obvious where Sony would be if they had the same price points as the 360. MS was very smart creating a hardware path where they could lower the price, and also very fortunate they don't have to deal with the Yen increases that Sony have to deal with to make lowering the price of the console a lot mo...
Have to admit that I thought it would be getting good but not great scores like this one. I'll have to give this game a try. :)
Man, those are some bold statements. While I do think Uncharted 1 was the visual champ when it came out, I do think Gears 2 in at least some areas surpassed it. But I can agree that Uncharted 2 now is easily the king, and that it truly is IMO a generational leap from the last game.
AAA to MS like Too Human on the 360 was suppose to be or Lair on the PS3? All were talking AAA for those titles too. You really can't take for granted that a title will be considered AAA, although I suppose they are putting the resources towards it hoping it will end up AAA. But that's all you can really do IMO.
Keep in mind guys that they spent say 50m, but not just for this game. The engine is going to be used on a variety of Sony projects. The huge part of that money spent was working on a first party engine and middleware that have already helped out Naughty Dog and others.
There are some valid points about killing being acceptable, but the whole kid being one you can do that to is way over the line. You don't have Killzone 2 or Gears 2 mowing down 10 year old kids.
And I think there is a different slant with some games. Killzone 2 and Gears 2 and even GTA4 put you in a fantasy world of characters you're not going to ever face, and you actually have some purposes to kill them. They are dangerous people/aliens in a war or turf battle. With this, it ...
No Jack. Because Bungie themselves basically said it was a 6 hour addon using the same engine. It might as well be DLC. That's why. Bungie themselves have said it's not a full release like Halo 3.
It's doing a lot of things right. It's no Fable 2, but it's taken some of the ideas in that game and made them better. (Just some). For example:
You can choose your pet. A cat, dog... What kind of cat or dog do you want? You can train them to do tricks. How? By mimicking motions.
Another thing that just makes sense is the mini games. In Fable 2, you have that generic golf swing meter for everything in mini games. But in free realms, if you need to make a soup, you h...
The amazing thing is IMO that Killzone 2 stripped the crown from the Unreal tech demo, and tech demos show more raw power than what the engine can actually provide in a game setting because they don't have to worry about AI and various other elements that take away power from the GPU and CPU.
So I mean Epic better have the engine looking better than the Killzone 2 game because tech demos are always more pimped than what they can actually produce in a game. Gears 2 wasn't as impr...
Mo cap really is an earlier on stage of development. It affects the collision detection for one. Unless they are using it just for a few things like generic walking and so on. Heavy Rain uses all mo cap, but they use it for what seems to be loads of unique situations for each character.
So news these days can come from a 5 day old twitter account of someone who doesn't bother to put real words together and just puts some ideas out there? Yikes. While I agree APB and Alan Wake should be there, this is no news. If it is, I'm about to make a Twitter account right now and make some bold claims in about a week. See you then. LOL
Cool. I was thinking of doing just the first level part. Some of this is brilliant like the intro and the cage part. Others like the beast, the alien landscape for the beast was a let down. They could have made it look a lot better. All in all though, an amazing job at doing the whole game (abbreviated mind you)
I love the concept of this. This is partially what PS users wanted in terms of trophies and Home games... Basically earn points to get free stuff.
I dunno though. The thing is with the real game show, I think they screen people to some extent, don't they? In other words, in the video game version, you might get quite a few dolts in the 100. There might end up being only maybe 40 or so that really have a chance during this.
This is the first thing IMO that warrants ...
I think once this has been out another year, things are going to be pretty fun in there. I do wish they would treat it as a place to play games first, and socializing is then just a part of that if you want to. You end up going to a space to say play a game, have to wait an hour before you get in, and you get bored. Have it so there is actual match making for all the games (except Xi and that sort of thing). So I want to bowl a bit? Let me pop up a menu and send me to a space that has a lane ...
So do people want to play games this way? So you'll be more tired after half an hour than a real driver? Show me a shooter and a guy performing headshots without the controller doing a better job and without you getting tired, and then I'll start calling this the future of gaming. You would be surprised the power of lazy people who want to just chill after they come home from school or work, and just want to press buttons and use a controller with their legs kicked up. Just because tech works...
