She made a run for it thinking these geeks were gonna fry her for sure. You can hear her panting and almost crying while rushing to the car.
Hilarious. Paparazzi = Punked!
I don't see any other game like it maybe Mario Galaxy but that's for Wii. Microsoft doesn't have anything to compete within the platforming genre.
The game itself looks amazing and some many vivid colors it's like a Disney Pixar movie almost.
A lot of kids (10 to 15) may end up convincing their parents to buy the PS3 because of this and it looks so innocent on the outside but inside it has a lot of menacing weapons that make it very cool to play.
Judgement days is coming!!!
Loves Killzone 2
Not impressed by Halo 3

but EA is not like the rest of developers. I mean still play the original SOCOM on my PS2 with dedicated server that have been up for almost 6-7 years to date. That game was one of the first PS2 games to use online gaming and it's still alive. The reason I still play this game more than anything is the community has decreased to about 300 players still actively playing. Most of the cheating/noob crowd has moved on to Socom 2 and 3 so this creates haven for those skilled players like me who ar...
MK2 was the best game they ever made and that is 2 decades old now but still gets good play time on my SNES which is still alive.
Anyway Midway milked that franchise dry with over exposure with the Hollywood movies and everything.
Everything is pretty lame like NFL blitz, a dozen arcade shooters Area 51 etc...more arcade basketball...arcade racers LA RUSH...MEH!
Unreal Tournament is the only killer app you have but that only a matter of time before...
I respect what they are trying to by sharing all these knowledge with other.
In remember around E3 a developer from Guerilla Games said Insomniac really helped them optimize PS3 for Killzone 2.
This kind of effort will really payoff when all these developers share ideas and insight about programing.
Let's not also forget that Insomniac was a major part of creating the EDGE tool kit for Sony at their request.
Thanks Insomniac!!!
I think Sony has already taken BABY STEPS towards that with "Home". Right now people will dismiss it as another second life clone with no ramification to gaming but that is what people said about myspace when it first came out. I'm not going to say this will make te PS3 sell like hot cakes but if this thing becomes another social phenomenon than people will have to look at it very seriously. The future is all about connectivity and user generated experiences which is now being calle...
This is pre-alpha stuff which will soon be Prologue and Grand Turismo 5 later on.
For god sake Poly D said Prologue is another sampler of the end product like GT: HD. They are not worried about making enviroments at this point because the whole development team is focused on the cars right now not on final details. The enviroments will be worked on once the cars are done.
This explains why a golf game gets 500K pre-orders before release.
Damn those Japanese perverts!
Sony is really going all out to make quality worldwide studio network.
Insomniac (Rachet, Resistance)
Naughty Dog (Jak and Daxter)
Incognito (Warkhawk, Twisted Metal)
Guerilla (Killzone)
Zipper Interactive (SOCOM)
Polyphony Digital (Grand Turismo)
Level 5 (White Knight Story)
Sony Santa Monica (God of War)
Sony London (Getway, Wipeout)
Sony Japan (Folklore)
That is only a small sample of the 1st party...
1) Muzzle fire looks and sounds like crap
2) Hovercract is "hovering" above water ie no physics just plain floating in thin air
3) Watch the enemy at the top of the stair die and float in the air GLITCH
4) Auto aiming reticle turns red and locks on WTF
5) Transparent "ghost" characters unfinished models
Looks like cheap imatation of Gears minus the gore and smart AI. Pretty much a rental at best at this point.
Wow this thing is being built from scratch to run in full 1080p glory.
The only think I say is the robots look too "Terminator" but still amazing engine and digi-guys even show progession from wire frame to full FX to proves this is in engine and not CGI.
I can't wait for TGS to see this game!
After realizing only 5 pc in world can run this thing at max setting. It's good to see these guys jump the bandwagon like Epic Games is doing right now. PC is getting too far ahead of itself, nobody can afford these upgrades anymore. Remember what happened to DOOM 3?
Well according to Xbox standards the lifetime of this console is 4-5 years at most and 360 is already getting close to 2 years under the belt. That is almost half way through and still the price is too expensive for mass market appeal.
I understand why Sony is going with a 8-10 year life cycle but Microsoft has said many times they want to keep the cycle short and introduce new hardware within 5 years.
This needs to get around $249.99 quickly or Wii will surpass...
No wonder Sony dropped rumble from the PS3. LOL Sexaxis controller with touch sensitive motion control for the hard to get into positions!
I am the cheap heatsink. Now blow me!
Bin Laden plays Flight Simulator in his cave?
Unreal is the most widely used next gen engine right now so it was bascially created for wide application for PC and Consoles. Crytek however is so advanced and powerful that only a handful of PC will even be able to run it let alone 360 or PS3. I don't see how Crytek 2.0 can compete with Unreal on consoles. I mean in order to run Crysis on consoles you will have to water it down which in turn brings it to the level of Unreal engine.
Two different approaches
Unreal is ma...
