The number of active users should be pretty low. I'm sure I'm included in that 4 million figure but I logged in 3 or 4 times, but never went back. Home has been a waste of Sony's time, I wish they hadn't cancelled 8 days and Getaway..
I've recently became a member, but N4G should have higher standards for taking things to the front page. It's all been flamebait articles. It is SO easy to get hits now, even for small time blogs. Just say a particular console version of a game is crap, or misquote some developer to tell one console is better than the other, and you get instant hits.
The game looks beautiful, but it is not 60 fps.
BTW, for the interlace discussion: interlaced modes are something that holds back the industry, because of the need for more complex decoders, the need for deinterlacers, and lesser quality when image is moving. In a world where 98% of your target displays use progressive technology, it should have taken the interlace backers a lot of lobbying to get their ideas across, and have the "i" modes accepted in the industry.

Imagine what would happen if it was kept a PS3 exclusive. It would shift A LOT of PS3's. Microsoft prevented that.
.. probably watched the evening news and ate breakfast. Why are they trying so hard to make a connection to games?
I have to admit multiplatform games tend to end up being better, if only slightly, on 360. This is not because cell is hard to crack, it is because RSX is inferior to Xenon, by a slight margin.
You can't expect multiplatform games to use totally different approaches to the programming of the game. That would double the programming time. You can't expect Resident Evil to use Uncharted's superb streaming method for the sharpest of textures. You can't expect RSX to cope with the s...
People who don't get the joke.. They are funny.
..and release PS3 version right away? It should already be in working condition since the game already is running on PS3 hardware.. But they don't do it, why?
They probably want to sell more units of the xbox360 version, and maybe some deal with MS? If the game came to early for PS3, its popularity would be lessened when it came out on 360, so they might be fearing of greatly reduced sales, which we can see from some titles that came out on PS3 late.
Because of reading to many blogs and comments.. I think he meant "has shaken" instead of "has shook"
Anyway, still waiting for my copy of KZ2.. People already became generals, I'll be probably owned for quite a while, unless there's some matchmaking based on rank..
As all have pointed out, this article is worthless. The guy has absolutely no idea how realtime rendering should work in a game. The fact that he hasn't even noticed normal mapping in the game, might either because he has no clue what a normal map is, or the normal maps are damn good. I'm betting it's a bit of both.
This guy is probably not a cgi artist, but just a fanboy that needs some sort of attention. I'd love to see his CGI work, or where he's working. I'd fire him for hi...
Xbox360 might not have hit its peak, but I think Unreal engine has. Xbox360 has a very good hardware design, its gpu was much ahead of its time: all the while Nvidia was singing "unified architechtures won't work this generation", ATI made it work. Too bad the build quality was low!
As for KZ2, even the demo met the hype, I can't wait to get KZ2 in my mailbox, I am so pissed at myself for not having chosen a fast delivery option.
Sheva seems to be
(2 kristine kreuk + 1 angelina jolie + 1 some other woman I don't know) divided by 4.
Fleshy as in, you can touch and feel? I didn't know I could touch Angelina Jolie. She is as virtual as Sheva for me..
LBP doesn't support PSN login, which is required for trophies and possibly stat tracking. It just reads and manipulates save data.
It is sad that we still do not have multiple logins (LTB went really close, but the secondary players do not receive trophies, for example..)
We absolutely need multiple logins like Xbox360. The longer it takes for sony to come up with it, the worse, as high profile local co-op/compete games started to pour in.. (LBP, resistance 2, RE5 etc..) without proper benefit for the secondary player. This is not just for getting trophies, it is also good for controller settings being rem...
I have a 60GB ps3, and I changed my harddrive and during the process I wrecked the blue screw that you first unwind (I was so used to PC installations with big sturdy screws, that I just went ahead with an automatic screwdriver, I know, it was foolish)
Changing the drive is very simple but do NOT ever use any sort of power tools, that blue screw is *very* delicate, always do it manually and with the right size Philips-head screw driver, and do not be afraid to push first with e...
PS3 takes care of all the file splitting, no worries there.
Sorry, it was just a typo. Thanks for correcting.
Still, Swissknife cannot do anything about actual file limit of 2GB per file, but it should solve Callahan09's problems for now..
No sane company will give out free DLC for us. No matter how we want to see this in a positive light, it is not. Sony could offload the bandwidth cost through other means, like advertising and sponsored downloads. I like my PSN ad-free, but if this extra cost will piss off developers, I'd rather see some ads while downloading content.
