i loved it. i have a few problems with it though:
1. the momentum is off. its there, but IMO theres too much of it. i dont know how people can say theres none - if you press across to run for 2 seconds, sonic keeps running for another 3 seconds after you let go, and thats not even after hitting a decent speed.
2. the framerate. when you start motoring, its not refreshing fast enough and you get a bit of a stuttering look.
other than that, wil...
Halo 3/Halo Reach for me.
It looks great, but more importantly it actually acts like real water - if grenades/etc fall into it, they will bob/sway/float/etc with the current. dead bodies of the smaller grunt variety can also be carried down stream if the water is moving fast enough.
but one of the most impressive things is how the water doesnt just go through character models, it goes AROUND them. if you are standing in a stream in Halo 3 and look down at yo...
It'll be achievement/profile based. Xbox live tracks what games you've played, when you played them etc. Gears 2 had unlocks based on gears 1 achievements so why do you suddenly think it'd change to save based unlocks for gears 3?
lol
you seem to be forgetting ODST and Reach. you didnt play as Master Chief in either of those.
Halo 4 is the continuation of Master Chiefs story - of course youre going to play as Master Chief! you wouldnt make you play as Alfred instead of Batman in Batman Arkham City just for something different, would you?
nice try jensen lol
seriously though, Splinter Cell already got a re-birth and it resulted in a great game despite what this article says.
lol @ people bringing up 70 million PSPs sold.
70 million sold is great.......until you see that the competition has sold 150 million. thats less than half as many PSPs as DSs. would you be calling the PS3 a success if it had only sold 25 million right now compared to the 360s 50 million? no. put it in context, then comment.
unless Sony make games that are actually PORTABLE games - ones that you can pick up and play for 5-10 mins, then save and turn off, it w...
if KZ3 is the reason why the PS3 numbers are so low, can anyone tell me why KZ3s numbers are also still very low then?
PS3 owners dont buy as many games as 360 owners, thats a fact. the 360 has the highest attach rate of any console in history - higher than the PS, the PS2, the xbox, the wii, the PS3, and every other console.
maybe more people bought it on the 360 because, not only did it have the Gears beta, it is BETTER on the 360? the controls are tighter,...
of course there will be, this is a sony exclusive we're talking about lol.
GT5 (+ about 4 prologues), Uncharted 3 (all in one generation), Ratchet and Clank 11ty billion (like 3 or 4 this gen?), killzone 3 (2 so far this gen), little big planet 2 (both this gen), infamous 2 (both this gen), Resistance 3 (all this gen), and so on and so on.
sony milk ALL of their franchises for all theyre worth. im not saying its a bad thing, im just saying that they do. s...
lol
you guys are forgetting one thing..... CryEngine 3 isnt just a multiplatform engine, its a concurrent multiplatform development suite. they dont make something for the 360, then make it for the PS3, then make it for the PC - they make it in their development tools and it takes care of all 3 versions. it reduces textures to the size they need to be for the consoles, it reduces the lighting solution for consoles, it does everything.
crysis 2, as it is today...
you have 2 choices for a game like this:
1. play it in 2D, in 720p at 30fps.
2. play it in 3D, in probably around 480p at 30fps with flickering while wearing stupid glasses.
personally, ill take the 2D every single day of the year. better graphics, better and clearer image, less f#$%ing around.
lol at most of the comments in here.
the article is about ASYNCHRONOUS cross-platform gaming, something that the submitter intentionally left out for some reason. asynchronous gaming is things like 'words with friends' on the iphone where you can have your go, then the person youre playing can take his go 3 days later. youre playing together, but not at the same time.
what the commenters here seem to be forgetting is that Xbox Live already supports cr...
Incorrect. ALL 360 games can be upscaled to 1080p by the 360 hardware. The 360 also does native 1080p output though - virtua tennis is 1080p NATIVELY, as is NBA street and a few other full retail games. Many XBLA games are natively 1080p as well.
Really, we're 6 years into this generation and there are STILL idiots like yourself spreading completely incorrect information to try and make one console look better than another. It's pathetic.
well you can pick the people that didnt actually read the article lol.
the 360 doesnt have an exclusive feature or content - the "feature" is that theyve made a new custom lighting solution for the 360, like they did with the PS3.
it should be an automatic ban if you post a comment that clearly shows you didnt read the article.
i dread the day my launch PS3 kicks the bucket, as i absolutely cannot stand the slim PS3s look. for a 'slim' console, its waaaaaaay too big. its bigger than the model it replaced in some dimensions, and it just looks plain cheap.
i fear my PS3s days are numbered though. its freezing in PlayTV more and more these days, and as soon as i load up Killzone 3, and Uncharted 2 before that, the fans go to their highest level and stay there until i turn the console off, even ...
i havent got an 8tb NAS with unlimited downloads on my 8mbps internet connection because i want to watch blu-rays or dvds lol.
blu-ray is not a must have feature. ive owned my ps3 since launch yet ive only ever watched 1 blu-ray on it, and that was to show my parents who were buying a new tv and the salesman was trying to tell them that they HAVE to buy a blu-ray player with it because itll change their life lol (i told them he was an idiot, and they didnt but anything from t...
hang on........so sonys first party developers that had 5+ years developing on the PS3 with inside knowledge and $50mil+ budgets, like Guerilla and Polyphony, cant even get their games in native 1920x1080, yet people were expecting a third party developer that is developing a game simultaneously for PC, 360 and PS3 to have a game that not only looks better than 99% of the other games but also has a lot more happening (ie destruction etc) running in 1920x1080?
wow. just wow. ...
lol at people saying theyre doing things with physics that noone else is doing.
guys.........its using the Havok Physics Engine. its an off the shelf physics engine that dozens and dozens and dozens of developers use.
when they say they "flip the whole ship"......you do realise that theyre not actually rendering the whole ship all the time and actually flipping it over with you inside it, dont you? its only rendering the are youre in. the whole ...
anyone saying that the PS2 was more powerful than the dreamcast obviously never actually owned both. you only had to look at games that were on both or games that were made by the same company on both to see the DC was far more capable.
for example, Quake 3 on the Dreamcast was absolutely groundbreaking. its graphics were PC like for the time, it had online play, and it ran absolutely beautifully. then it came out on PS2 like 12 months later, and it looked like absolute cr@p ...
question - have any games actually been CONFIRMED to work with this full-screen split-screen? because i can tell you with 100% certainty that this doesnt just take any game that has split screen and make it go full-screen for each player.
think about it - with split-screen the PS3 is still only rendering 1 720p image at a time. each of the players views are less than half the resolution of single player.
with this, suddenly the PS3 is having to render 2 compl...
looks like this is the model ill be buying once the price cut comes along, as my launch PS3 just kicked the bucket from the YLOD the other day.
