You're probably mixing the general quality of the models/tesxtures with facial animation. No other games even comes close to L.A Noire when it comes to actual facial animation, but we can see that sometimes it's not enough to portray a scene - uncharted does a better job because while the facial animation is not as good, everything else looks better and this gives a sense of polish and balance to the actual scene (for example the gentle touch of hands). Naughty dog always excelled in ...

These aren't actual 1-to-1 screens. You can easily see this in this picture where the thin smooth lines would never be possible on the usual SSAA/MSAA/MLAA techniques:

DigitalRaptor, if you talk about Kinect control exclusively then you might have a point - it's basically a sophisticated 3D Eyetoy (although the third dimension can add a lot when it comes to gesture recognition - it's almost revolutionary).

But you still are ignoring the fact that Steel Batallion is not using kinect exclusively and the same is planned for many other games. And Steel Batalion is HARDCORE - If you take a look at the accessory you had to use with older ...

I really don't understand why people automatically block in their head anything that has "Kinect" stringed to it.
While I agree that games like Kinectimals and Kinect Sports are not what gamers are looking for, there are games in this list that should spike an interest for gamers. Steel Battalion Heavy Armor for example is something that you can't call yourself a true gamer if you're not excited for it. Not only that the game does not require Kinect to work (it&#...

Actually, other then Halo MS already remade other games such as the 2 Banjo games and Perfect Dark.
The only differences is that (apart from Halo) the MS remakes are 10$ downloads that don't force you to buy the whole package even if you want just one game, and actually offers you more then just HD textures in the remake - adding online multiplayer to old games is just one example. Other publishers also offer HD remakes for classic games on the XBLA ...

BiggCMan - exactly.
I don't know what's the point of counting six upcoming shooters looking better then Killzone 3 when we can already count about 6 existing shooter better looking then Killzone 3.
It's not an ugly game but it's definatelly a step backwards from Killzone 2 in more than a few places.

@DatNJDom81
Welcome to the year 2010 when Halo Reach came out. I'm still waiting for a PS3 snappy comeback that can actually deliver a similarly beautiful world on such a large scale, while keeping amazingly high model detail when looking up close. So far I've seen games that can pull one, but it's always on the expense of the other.
Perhaps when UC3 comes out?

It's definitely up there, and higher then about half of the games you mentioned in this list.

A female spartan was already available as early as DOA4 - Nicole 458 made a guest appearance:

Not to mention that female Spartans are all over the haloverse, including Kate and possibly the player character in Halo Reach itself.
This on the other hand looks just like a teenager wet dream distorted by too many games: assuming th...

This list is lacking a proper definition: it's a mix of actual proper villains (Andrew Rian, Glados, Le Chuck), iconic idiots who barely even have dialog lines or not at all (Mario, Death Adder), some power-ranger level cutboard villians (insert all FF characters who speak with capital letters here), and just "tough" enemies/bosses (Mecha-Hitler) and even regular mooks ("nazis", "zombies" etc).

They need to either focus and redo the whole lis...

@Kran, why do you care if people mispell MS for M$ or Sony for $ony on purpose?
It's a useful troll detecting mechanism! It's like having an idiot marked with "I'm here to play an irrational jackass and because I can't make any valid arguments I'll just resort to trolling" on his forehead so you'll know to take his babble at the right context. And people here do it voluntarily!

Perhaps some disagrees are simply because he's speculating about a price drop with no valid claim?
But hey, it's even sadder that he has so many agrees. What does it say about how much PS3 fanboys care about sales?

So a list of two exclusive sequels for the entire second half 2011, together with two old game remakes and two games THAT DON'T EVEN COME OUT IN 2011 is what makes PS3 a definitive gamers console in the second half of 2011!?

Yeah, I know that it's probably better then the exclusive offering for the second half of 2010 (which was basically GT and R&C), but it's still trailing behind the awesome 2009 for the PS3. Hell, even the first half of 2011 was way better ...

So you're saying that this actually looks like Halo 2 on the PC - Halo 2 can run at 1080p with 16xAA at 60fps. Who care about the HDR, model detail, texture quality, particle effects and AI level, right?
As much as I love Tribes, this new game still doesn't compare to the fine art of Halo. It's definitely looks better than Section 8 but it still isn't Halo Reach level - developers are working on an existing UE3 engine with a limited budget is...
