SPOILER
if the person who wrote this article had finished Gears 3 they would know that there is literally no reason to have a "Gears of War 4".
another game set in the same universe set BEFORE the original Gears of War trilogy would be nice though, but not a sequel to Gears of War 3 since the Locust/Lambent war is 100% over.
ill give you the only 2 reasons why there are no weather effects or dynamic time of day in Forza 4:
1. 60 frames per second, 100% of the time. Forza 4, like Forza 3, NEVER drops below 60fps. it is locked at 60fps constantly.
2. 0% screen tearing. Forza 4, like Forza 3, NEVER tears even a single frame.
Framerate, response, and lack of screen tearing are the biggest most important features in a simulation. Gran Turismos weather and lighting DRA...
The difference between PD and Turn 10 is that with Forza 4 Turn 10 only put in things that they could get working EXACTLY how they should.
Turn 10s top priority was 60fps with no screen tearing. if something was added that would compromise this even for a single frame a second, it would not be added.
Polyphony said 'to hell with it' and the result is a game that rarely every stays at 60fps for more than a few seconds at a time, and that tears on ~30% ...
why are people in here saying the PS3 version has better textures? out of all of those screenshots, the PS3 has better textures in 1 - and only 1 - of them.
the 360 has sharper more defined textures in EVERY other shot.
The PS3s lighting looks better - the first thing that stood out to me when i played the beta on the 360 is that something looks 'off' with the dynamic lights. then i downloaded the PS3 beta and the lighting doesnt look as bad.
...
the comments in here are a far cry from what they would be if you replaced the word '360' with 'PS3' lol.
lol
the 360 is made in china, just like the PS3 and the wii - not america.
this is only for BRAZILIAN 360s - it affects no countries other than Brazil. America etc will not be getting 360s that are made in Brazil.
why does the 360 need steamworks? honestly, can someone with some intelligence actually tell me why you guys think its a big deal?
the things that steamworks brings to the PS3 are:
1. cross platform play - the 360 already supports this (see shadowrun)
2. achievements - the 360 (and the PS3) already have these, dont need a whole other list of achievements
3. Cloud saving - the 360 is getting this in the next system update due next month
...
dont know why someone submitted this today - the sale was YESTERDAY, and yesterday only. the article was written 2 days ago as well.
and for those who know catch of the day, deals like this one sell out literally in seconds - last time they had a PS3 for $200+ under RRP the site crashed for the entire day, and as soon as it came back online they were sold out. they most likely only have a tiny handful of them to sell.
great site, but youve got no chances of g...
sigh....
yes, the game releases in a month, but that does NOT mean that this is basically the finished code. the code for this build wouldve been complete MONTHS ago. This beta is for server stress testing and working out kinks in their net code.
they cant just finish work one day and go 'hey lets just release this latest build as a beta right now!' and then its suddenly on Live/PSN.
2.1 million in 4 days - not even a whole week - in NA alone lol. mustve gone close to 3.5-4 million or so worldwide in the first week.
also note the 360 version of every multiplatform game in there apart from F1 sold more than the PS3 version (Madden, Dead Island, NHL, Deus Ex).
PS3 sales dropped too, ouch.
how do you come to that conclusion when none of the screenshots are even labelled? lol
there is literally no way of telling which pics are from which console.
absolute fail of an article, although i shouldnt be surprised since its from gamersmint.
just want to point out that the 3rd disc is purely multiplayer - you wont need to install that, and quite frankly i wont as the multiplayer in this game seems like a cop-out and doesnt interest me at all.
i will however be installing both single player discs.
note that the install isnt required, and the game will run fine without installing - what they mean by its "optimized for installation" is that, like Halo Reach, the game will actually run bet...
every single 360 game in existence "supports" 1080p, this is hardly news in that regard.
again - theres not a single 360 game that doesnt support 1080p. the 360 has a built-in scaler that allows you to run any game in any of the resolutions that the console supports, unlike a certain other console that stupidly makes you go in and tick/untick resolutions lol. if you have your 360 set to 1080p, every game you play will run in 1080p mode.
GT5 is down to $27 here in Australia, from it's RRP of $120. Thought that was hilarious - it's literally one of the cheapest games available for the ps3/360/wii lol.
GT5 just came and went, leaving a wave of disappointment behind it. Lowest reviewed GT ever, worst career mode ever, most jarringly contrasting graphics ever, least modification features ever, worse shadows and alpha effects than even the original PS gran turismo, a tonne of missing features (some of whic...
how anyone can think the PS3 version looks better i dont know lol.
they look the same (apart from the usual lighting differences) but the PS3 version absolutely destroys the image quality with the horrible Quincunx AA vaseline smear effect.
lol
Rage on the PS3 needs to install 8gb because of the slow read speeds of the blu-ray disc - no other reason. 9mb/sec compared to 8-16mb/sec on the 360. if it didnt install, the entire world would just be being built in front of your eyes as you walk around lol.
i stopped reading the article as soon as i read this line: "In addition, Willits recently revealed that the team has optimized Rage to work on the PS3 so all eight of the CELL cores or SPEs are...
a few pieces of info that i know the N4G crowd will love/hate:
"Digital Foundry: There have been stories that the PS3 version has an 8GB install...
Tim Willits: Yes, that's absolutely true.
Digital Foundry: What are the elements that you require to install? Is it just that the Blu-ray drive isn't fast enough?
Tim Willits: Sony was great. Kudos to Sony for letting us do that. They don't allow every game to do ...
Lol how is this news? The game comes out in just over a month, and games usually go gold a month before release as they need to have everything printed and distributed before the release date.
Its like some of you think that "going gold" is some sort of term of achievement lol. It's not like when a game goes "platinum/gold/etc" because it's sold 500k copies, it simply means the game is 100% complete and has been sent for publishing.
" Killzone 2/3 didn't have poor controls; and Gears of War 3 isn't the best game ever"
Killzone 2 did, hence why Guerrilla changed the controls for Killzone 3. the controls were fine, but the 200ms input lag on top of the controls was definitely not.
and Gears 3 isnt the best game ever, but it is easily one of the best games of the generation - evident by its stellar review scores.
as people are saying, and the article says,...
i think its stupid that theyve changed it this soon, I had no problem with it.
and before anyone says im a noob - level 100 gears 2 says im not, and a 2.4 k/d in gears 3 in over 100 matches of only team deathmatch and wingman (80+ wingmans out of those, its my favourite mode) also says im not.
like the stats show, the casual people that arent very good rely on the sawed-off, whereas the experienced and good players know the value of the Lancer. i havent even ...
