Peter Moore was at EA before Madden went gold on each system. He has final say in releases. Either his briefers lied to him, he made a bad call, or he did it intentionally.
Either way he is the captain of the ship and when the helmsman hits an iceberg, it is his responsibility. He needs to step up to the plate, lean into the pitch and take one for the team.
It was the same demo as the 360. There are noticeable differences. I have GRAW2 for the 360 and have seen some unpublished footage for the PS3. The particle effects and lighting on the PS3 are really something. With 14 additional maps more than the 360 version and 8 new weapons in the SP game, as well as a new MP mode, it is definitely worth getting. A lot a value for the buck.
In many areas, studios under a publisher can function independently to a degree. There isn't this big pow wow every week - it is every 6 months to a year sometimes. That said, if a studio is having trouble, Ubisoft will send people from one studio to another to get things up to par. The sent RSE people to Romania last year.
What last weeks story does show is that people in Ubi Montreal are incompetent, arrogant, and simply do not care enough to do a good job.
That is hardly a fair evaluation considering the massive amount of Bioshock multimedia material available versus what we have seen from KZ2. Everyone is entitled to an opinion but at this stage it is impossible for anyone to make an objective and fair comparison. Unless you have seen as little material from Bioshock as you have seen from KZ2 then it can't be done.
Also these games are two different approaches. Guerrilla actually pushes for a 'realistic science fiction' shooter....
In terms of development that is about on par with what Bungie is doing. I hate to bring up the comparison but it is a title with a high production values everyone can understand. And it is a first party studio.
Also some of the 40 mil is shifted Sony assets so it wasn't as if they went downtown and just pulled the cash out of the bank and drove an armored car to Guerrilla studios.
140 people also doesn't necessarily mean they are all in o...
What do they have to learn? There will be a small hubub and then it will be left alone, the changes will stand and people will buy their games. It's a shame but no one will hold them accountable.
You are looking at the small picture. Seriously. First of all major games have huge multi-million dollar budgets.
Second, part of the 40 mil budget was the cost of building Guerrilla from a small company into a major production facility. It isn't just 40 million in the game but rather a host of other items.
The game is a system seller. Period.
Killzone 2 is set to be the new bar in engineering for any game. The R&D and the accomplishements Guer...
Were Madden only expressing an opinion then it would belong in the blog. But he is delivering news. News that is more firsthand than is the normal fare for the site.
It is news, it is about a title, and it concerns a great many gamers that visit this site. The response of EA to public inquiry is no less news simply because it wasn't noticed on another site and then brought here. It should stand as is.
Interim comments should go in the blog but when official comm...
Harry Truman said "When I see an animal that looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck then I call that animal a duck."
The poster to whom I referred as a 5 year old defined himself. I call matters as I see them. I can title him a prepubescent school child if that seems more in line with your perception of me and how I should respond to people that deserve a certain amount of heavy handedness.
I disagree. I think he would relevant to the platform on which he purchased the item. His pursuit isn't that of a fanboy. It is a mature inquiry into a situation where the consumer was shafted.
If this were about the 360, would you be agreeing with him?
What is sad is some 5 year old with access to the internet. Were this not allowed no one would be subject to your selfish, short sighted atitudes.
Count your days on your fingers or mark them off with a number 2 Husky pencil. Every platform sooner or later gets unjustifiably screwed with a version of a multiplatform title. When that time comes, remember what you said and just suck it up buttercup.
You and I have corresponded via PM and the appreciation I hold for your actions may be broader than some. Why?
I am not a sports fan. Either in gaming, personal paticipation. or as a spectator. This isn't about sports and it isn't about the PS3 per se either. This actually comes in as a much more far reaching implication than either of those items alone.
This issue is about a powerful game publisher that released a clearly sub-stan...
Every system has strengths and weaknesses. People like you also claim DVD9 is just fine. It isn't, get over it. And as far as who cares if Kojima likes the PS3, alot of 360 fans care and they care rabidly. They want MGS4 so bad they can't stand it.
To show you some small minds, many don't want the game to play it, they just want it on the 360 for the simple reason it is a PS3 exclusive. Now that's a fanboy. Fact.
I am not seeing the leap in gameplay the devs keep talking about. I see mechanics particular to the title, but I am lacking this Wow effect they say is there. I am also wary of "The overriding implications of morality." It sounds like a pitch line from Splinter Cell DA and we know how that tuned out. Just like in the real world morality was disposable.
No, the dev team will have to do more than just talk. Any rapper can do that. Denis Doak has already shot their credi...
bladestar, you are the last person that should enter a thread and make accusations about anyone being a fanboy. You are the opposite twin to any sony fan you accuse of such actions. There isn't a bigger xbox fanboy on the forums here as you have long ago dragged yourself down with theMart, and any fanboy of any console.
You are incapable of stating anything with even a small amount of objectivity. You enter Sony threads and begin wholesale disruption when the thread has nothing...
360 - 399
Proprietary wireless headset - 59
Wireless - 99
120GB HDD - 179
Play and charge kit - 19
Live - 50
HD DVD - 179
TOTAL = $984 plus tax. Also Live fee is recurring. Add 50 a year for 4 years (How long MS supports a console) GRAND TOTAL = $1134 *NOTE* GRAND TOTAL DOES NOT INCLUDE PRICE OF AGGRAVATION FOR TWO RROD CONSOLES.
I know how the data saves and that is one of the reasons the file takes little space. I remember playing the beta and thinking, these movies are going to eat up my HDD. Boy was I pleasantly surprised.
But what I wanted to know was whether a compiler would be included that would allow the production of a movie that could then be exported in the form of a .wmv or .mpeg.
I agree these are two different builds of the game.
HOWEVER....many of the people that are jumping on this topic, quoting the dev and saying both versions will look the same are the very people that said the devs were liars when they stated earlier that the PS3 version would run at 60fps and look identical to the 360 version. Sorry fanboys, but you can't have it both ways.
Both versions will not look the same and only a moron would believe that. I am not saying w...
