Exactly. Though not everyone has that option. But luckily I won't have to pick and choose.
It's funny how 4, 3 and 1 are all basically the same point - "teh online is teh shit". Horde and co-op are the only legit reasons he makes on that list. But like I said, I'll be getting both.
1. Gameplay,Story,Tech,Visuals not seen in competition. = True.
This cracked me up. Gameplay?! Story?! Lol. Please. Let's call a spade a spade. UC does everything that the best games have already done 100 times over. It just does these things incredibly well.
I gott say: meh. Ever since the uber-disappointing story of Halo 2, I've been luke warm on this franchise. I liked Reach a lot and I'm curious to see what a new studio does with the game and story, but it's a mild curiosity. We'll see as it gets closer I guess.
Ah, Sony fanboys: proving they can't handle truth since 2006.
Can. Not. Wait.

"It's big budget, has stellar graphics, top notch voice acting & mo-cap, a musical score worthy of Hollywood..."
The fact that all of that comes before anything about how fun it is, the gameplay, or the story, tells you why it doesn't deserve to be #1. The Uncharted series and KZ are the biggest, baddest-ass tech demos the world has ever seen. Oh, and they happen to also have moments where you occasionally control a character...
Yeah I noticed that one too. But the first one is startling IMO. The upgraded textures really shine. Can't wait for this and ICO.
Oh right...and The Last Guardian. =)
Honestly, all I needed to see to get excited about new hardware was Epic's Samaritan demo. If they put DX11 in the next box and optimize for it, I'm sold.
Having said that, the longer they wait and the longer they refine, the better the results will be for all of us, Sony and Xbox fans alike. I'm pretty content with the way things are right now. I can wait a few more years before even hearing announcements.
It's kind of like having a delicious...
Max has a point. None of you would be dismissing this if it had Naughty Dog or GG on it.
Tep, you need to clean your glasses.
Okay zinkabass...think these things through. BF3 is going to reign supreme on PC. It will destroy every other FPS out there, especially in the graphics and sound department, and to think that the PS3 could run it at the same specs as even a mediocre PC rig, is delusional.
KZ is not the holy grail of gaming, people. It's just not.
Uncharted and GOW3 are using prerendered cinematics which disqualifies them from this conversation. MGS4, Gears, and anything Rockstar are all rendered on the fly which is way more impressive.
This guy wasn't trying to start a flame war, but of course you knew someone was going to take this quote out of context.
You're right Fox. I will never cease to be amazed by the meaningless bullshit that revs fanboys up.
Seems like a very vague and cryptic thing to say as you don't express if you like UE or not.
If the next xbox is maxed out on DX11 and can run something like Samaritan in realtime, I foresee little to no graphical differences between the next gen consoles. At some point graphics will max out as far as what the human eye can see, and no matter how beasty they get, we'll have hit a plateau. I think it's coming within the next decade.
It'll be ...
Sony has said they won't be putting as much money into the PS4. This says nothing about how powerful it will be. Most of the money for the PS3 went into the cell architecture. Since they have that figured out already, it's just a matter of adding the steroids now.
Bottom line, I have no doubt the PS4 will be a beast.
While I completely disagree with your assessment of the Mona Lisa, I agree with you that KZ is art. COD is art. Honestly, every game out there is art. I won't call them all good art or influential, but they are all art in at least the way that poop smeared on a flag is art. Some of it's the lowest form of art. But hey, art is art.
The argument that violent video games create violent people is in no way proven to any level of satisfaction for a reasonable person. Howev...
lol! Bubbles. Yeah, pretty underwhelming stuff.
I hope you're wrong candy. That 3rd person cover is one of the best features of the RB6 line now, and to remove it would seriously undermine the game.
Huge fan of this franchise. Many fond memories of terrorist hunts with friends on xbl. Can't wait to dive into this. I hope they implement the morality engine because it sounds pretty rad. Whether it works or not, I already applaud Ubisoft for thinking about going there. It's nice to see devs moving outside the box.
I think turismo's forgetting that the facial capture at work in LA Noire is very memory-intensive. MGS4 had no facial capture.
