I read one wonderful article that explained me everything
There is no format war now. Current BRD custumers base is approx. 6 million ppl against 300 thausend HD DVDD owners - it is 1 to 20.
But it is not important. The war is fired by MS that eager to implement its own VC-1 (the same codec implementation that is used in WMV files. For the only one reason. Licensing fees from every HD DVD disk
Unfortunately HD DVD format cannot guaranty that it will be able to meet ...
First of all it is a paid article.
"Unlike Blu-ray, which has a much shallower (and therefore a more delicate) data layer, an HD DVD has its digital information etched deeper beneath the surface just like a conventional DVD"
This let me think so. As far as I know only first version (already unexisted) of BR disks had this issue& Now the BR disks manufacturers use TDK's "Durabis" polymeric layer to protect BRD data layer, that 100 times is more dur...
The prob that there are no 1000 in N3 in sight. As far as everyone noticed the distance of view in this game is very short - 10 meters (relatively to the game scale) not more - everything else is 'fogged'
Do you really think EA was able to anounce loudly "We have just unskilled devs and our games arnt worth of 60 bucks paid"? Instead of admiting the issues it is much easier to blame someone else.
I'd believe PS3 scks if there weren't games like GRAW 2, Folklore, Ninja Gaiden Sigma on PS3.
As we russians say "A bad dancer always complains about his bigger balls" =)
Actually everyoone can prove the numbers from relatively reliable and free for everyone source of information vgchartz.com. I cannot give another sources because they are not free.
Anyway lets check it out
Week 07/01-07/07 - units sold in the USA
360 - 36,901
PS3 - 22,102
Week 07/08-07/14 - units sold in the USA
360 - 39,396
PS3 - 51,763
Week 07/15-07/21 - units sold in the USA
360 - 32,538
PS3 - 45,101
Michael Pachter was asked directly at Bonus Round - Why noone of your predictions didnt prove correct.
He answered I'm a finance consultant not a game analysist. But this is not my point
Actually I dont believe that MS won this July. I bet that the numbers are fictional.
For some of my reasons I have to track the numbers. here in Europe and the USA from some different sources.
My point is that M.Pachter is a fukcing liar. I may repeat my words even ...
I like the point of many ppl ... you have been playing GoW for almost 1 year and all was great. After you were informed that it is only 30 fps it became "slideshow".
30/60 fps difference is only the matter of your imagination. Or schizofrenia.
NTSC TV sets support only 30 frames per sec and PAL ones - 24. All frames above this ration just "dropped". 30 fps is the most you are able to see on TV screen.
The reasonable question is - why they do 60 fps. T...
Dear FabNMun
I'm absolutely sure that it is not fake.
But I guess you need some more knowlegde about fps and mrr
The number you showed at the pictures is your monitor refreshment rate. It is hardware. In other words all LCD monitors have this refreshment rate between 50-70 frames per second.
Unlike this fps is not linked with your monitor somehow - it is software one. FPS is the ability of a graphical program to render the sequence of frames per second.
That...
fps affects on computer monitors and TVsets differently
If you have at least 60 Hz LCD monitor you are able to feel the difference between 30 and 60 fps
On TV it works quite different
PAL color system has only 25 fps and NTSC - 30.
That means that your eyes cannot notice any difference on TV at framee rates higher then 30 fps
As it was in Madden - the diff is noticable only at slow-mo
please gimme a contact at Microsoft!
I wanna review PS3's games too!
Not for free =)
Patcher has to admit the only thing - his predictions fail to be true with the ratio 1 to 10
Opppss what a lapse!
Zombies with negroid faces were killed by a WASP! Racism! lol! it is just a game! WTF! Replace the main character with Shaq .. what will it be? A game for black americans only? What about the rest of the world?
Racism and genocide is to dig nucler wastes in Somaila whaen the last hawk went down and american troops went home. Or to pump resources of an african tiny country for a dumping price leaving its population starving. or to bomb iraqi cities an...
Lets see what Lair will be when it is released.
Now this is only blahblahblahing.....
Those scores mean nothing at all.
If Lair fails to be a good game the most of PS3 gamers will be able to admit it.
But now ... WTF ... lets stop this sh!tty publicity =)
it is time to patent "Standby" mode and sue all home appliance's manufacturers =)
Bill Gates will cry
According to your opinion my logic is weird ... well
Lets face facts. Blue Dragon is the JRPG styled game created by Japanese developers for Japanese market.
It is 33 weeks old (about 7-8 months old). Less then194 000 copies were sold. is it a hit? is Gundam Musou hit? It is a bullsh!t. But it was sold +100 000 copies more in 21 week in Japan. What is Blue Dragon then? Dont blame Japs that they all have the same weird logic I have.
BD - is another overhyped title for X360...
Sorry can someone explain how did you get these numbers? I think it is possible for BD - Jap version is almost a few months old and there is its demo in Marketplace - but what about Lair? is there a demo? is there an open beta?
Sick and tired of futuretellers.
