Wow, if 20 FPS is the lowest possible dip, it's really not all that bad considering all the stuff the game is throwing at the system. Hey, it could be like Oblivion or Fallout3 and slowdown and crash whenever it feels like it. The odd 20 FPS is nothing.
Maybe they do like the game, but with a header like that, you have no choice than to question their motives.
After the final fantasy 13 announcement, I don't think anything could surprise me anymore than last year's E3.
Didn't a major site, or even a couple major site hold "xbox" funerals not long ago? Coupled with that, and the fact that both of my friend's xbox's crapper out on them around xmas time, i would say it's not a thing of the past.
Well that's pretty good then, chalk up another one for KZ2. The production value of this game seems to get better and better.
Since we're on the topic of game soundtracks, I found that BLACK had an absolutely fantastic soundtrack. For me, it gave the game a really cinematic feel to it. the music seemed as if you had an orchestra following you, conducted perfectly. If Killzone2 can do that for me, I'm gonna have to give it an 11/10. A good soundtrack is in some cases the reason I ...
I agree with what you're saying about GOW3, but I think KZ2 or Crysis would be the epitome of great graphics these days. ot counting out uncharted, but KZ2 feels more cinematic, and that added flare sort of adds to the graphics, but yea, back to GOW3...
I think when KZ2 is released, we'll be able to give a more fair assessment of how much the GOW3's final graphical build can can improve.
Word is that the KZ2 they had on display at the last CES (I'm pretty sure it was CES) l...
if you have eyes, and they work well, you could see that this game (as of now) would sit comfortably at spot number 5 or 6 for graphical benchmark status.
6.GOW3
5.Uncharted 1
4.GeoW2
3.Uncharted 2
2.Crysis
1.KZ2
1 and 2 are debatable.
and this current GOW3 build is in no way a benchmark.
Wow. That was really.. Not very impressive. The gore is that of ps2 a ps2 title. Really not impressed with this. Especially since it's coming out of Sony's Santa Monica studio?
At this point, if it doesn't top KZ2'a graphics, I'm now showing GOW3 much love. It's a flagship title, and Uncharted 2 already looks worlds better. This is also to second trailer for the game, and it doesn't even look all that much improved. A wasted week of waiting indeed.
Pleeeeease Sony, f...
3? Alright then. 1 a year is ok I guess. Especially if it's different devs each time (or every 2nd time).
3 call of duty games in 2 years? I think I did the math right.. I think I'll wait until it's patched into working order before I even consider renting it..
Seems more like they threw in small little opportunities here and there to vary the gameplay.
First, we get the "toss grenades behind dude in the warehouse to get sniper rifle "GLITCH".
Then, you get an opportunity to jump on a transport aircraft to reach a turret you can easily get to and use?
Oh man. You should see all the places u can get to in Halo by getting into a banshee..TOTAL GLITCH! OMG! HE'S ON THAT BUILDING! BAD GAME DESIGN, GLITC...
G4tv.com has a halo3 tag (was there more than 2 months before its release), as well as a GTA4 tag. Yet I see KZ2 sitting pretty here at over 150k degrees, every website writing about it at least once a day, and yet the 360's tags STILL have a higher number than ps3's, considering a good majority of console news is PS3-related. But yeah, Halo3's tag is still sitting there, and KZ2, or even GEARS 1 or 2 don't even have its own tag. Not even GEARS. Keep the illusion alive guys, keep it goin!
and as a comment to nobody in particular, there would always be the computer. There will always be computers around, and the tech will always be improving. Play game on computers if you don't want to game on a console. There's your choices there. Want more choices? then be prepared to deal with the bullshit we're all dealing with today.
@infamous_27
YES. That would be amazing. If you look at the Japanese sales charts, you see that according to the DS/DSI and PSP sales... It's looks like it's heading that way lol. Or at least the market for it is biiiiiig over there.
Having one console is a bad thing?
First of all, do any of you know how much the average game costs to make (NOT talking indy development)? Does having multiple console ports, cost-cutting by half-assing ports and alienating your fanbase by offering exclusivity warrant the existance of 3+ consoles? Are the majority of people (or more importantly GAMERS from all sides) happy about that? Of course not. It separates us.
The Household Name
household names. That...
Errrm..
Where's GEIST?! Geist was like, my Goldeneye for Gamecube. So much fun on multiplayer.
I think as of now, LIVE has the abiity to send voice messages, and communication is quicker and easier. On the other hand PSN is free, and you can still communicate ok to other ppl. As for lag issues, it depends on the game. For easy and communication's sake, I'd have to give a SLIGHT edge to LIVE. PSN SHOULD have those features live has, but oddly, it doesn't. So.. I'd say until PSN gets the voice chat, cross-game invites, and stuff like that, LIVE gets the edge.
And that's why the God of War story never blew me away either.. Felt like a history lesson. Fun game play though.
If you think about it though, if there's a summon in any ff game, or many others, the creatures are usually named and based off of actual mythological creatures/people. Many games would be at fault if this were to be a negative thing.
The demo changed my "day one purchase" into a "rent whwnever I'm bored and want to play something" kind of decision.
I kinda wish wish they'd just go back to the semi-fixed camera angles and then add way more maneuverability.
A prime example of how bad the media wanted/wants this game to fail. just WAIT for all the other American reviewers that are gonna rip it to shreds because they refuse to give a thumbs up to anything that comes from overseas these days.
It's nice to see a 10, because if you put kz2 next to ANYTHING released this gen, they don't hold a candle to it. If it isn't fanboyism within the media, I'd guess that they're either A. Arrogant f*cking pc gamers that only praise and sodomize Val...
Well, Halo's an anomaly, that much is true.
But Gears was the FIRST reeeeeally good looking game during the turn of the console gens, I think ppl were more blown away because they weren't used to seeing graphics like that. So nothing was questioned, even though, it was 100% smoke and mirrors, ever glitch outside a wall to see that 90% of the scenery are image planes? in other words, not actually there, pictures? The textures also took too long to load, sometimes you would still b...
