so taking Gears of War 2 for example - should all reviewers now have to go back and change their reviews to score Gears 2 much higher now that its Multiplayer is significantly improved over what it was on launch? the fact that it has regional matchmaking NOW, but didnt for the first 12 months, surely means that they should go back and take away any negative comments about lag and matchmaking, shouldnt it?
no, it doesnt. they review what theyre given, when theyre given it. if ...
i love how people are saying they should be including PSN games........but dont realise that if they did this, they have to include Xbox Live Arcade games, which would actually push the 360 further ahead as it has far more exclusives than the PSN, and far better ones too.
add Limbo to that list - exclusive to XBLA - and youre replacing the 80/100 scored Fable 3 with a 90/100 scored Limbo.
add Super Meat Boy to that list - exclusive to XBLA - and youre replac...
100% incorrect.
the read speed of the PS3s blu-ray drive is a constant 9mb/s. the read speed of the 360s DVD drive is a variable speed between 8mb/s and 16mb/s.
so at the very, very slowest read speed, the 360s drive is 1mb/s slower than the PS3s blu-ray drive. but even if it reads in the middle somewhere, its going to be 3mb/s - or 33% of the PS3s read speed - faster. this isnt the first time people have used DVDs either, so they know where to store the dat...
why should reviewers go back and change their reviews? when the game came out, it did not have this mechanical damage - end of story. they reviewed it when it came out.
also, spare a thought for those people with GT5 that DONT have the internet on their PS3 so dont get this patch. they read a review of GT5 now saying it has full on mechanical damage, they get GT5 for xmas..........no mechanical damage!
reviews dont get changed just because the developer patch...
wow, the blind defense of GT5 by some people in here is astounding. a few things i need to comment on:
1. this is not a 'glitch' - its a flaw in the physics engine. a glitch is something like a car going THROUGH another car for a second. a car doing unrealistic amounts of spins and then landing on another car, and then being driven around a track while still on that car is NOT a glitch.
2. that GT-R is NOT a 'lightweight race car', and as such...
but depth sensing is a HUGE thing, as it allows you to TRACK an object in 3 dimensions, whereas in 2D you can only compare each frame to the previous one to see if there was any movement.
one is tracking movement, one is sensing movement - theres a big difference. with kinect, if im standing there not moving, it still knows im there. someone else can start waving their hand over one of the menus, but Kinect will not respond to it because its tracking ME. with the PSEye and o...
my game of the year is Rock Band 3 or Alan Wake.
to those saying God of War 3 - have you played Ghost of Sparta on the PSP? im a huge God of War fan, and to be honest i found Ghost of Sparta to be the better game out of the two 2010 God of War releases. it had everything that God of War 3 did, but with a few new gameplay sections, albeit on a lower graphical scale.
having said that, i dont think either of them deserve to be awarded game of the year. as grea...
"I think you're a bit confused about what 1:1 accuracy means."
no, i think you are. 1:1 means that if you move something x amount of units, it will be replicated on screen x amounts of units relative to everything else. it has nothing to do with lag. if it was, nothing could ever get 1:1 control because there is lag built in to every single control input. Move has input lag for its control because its using the camera to track the position of the ball on top of ...
- the 'super smart AI' you allude to actually has nothing to do with kinect, its to do with the SOFTWARE that developers make. Kinect doesnt do AI, all it does is give the players input. super smart AI was NEVER a 'promise' of kinect. what kinect promised was voice recognition/control, which it has provided.
- 1:1 accuracy is there with Kinect. if you move, it moves. despite what you and the sony brigade like to think, lag has nothing to do with if something i...
Japan ISNT a heavy gaming region of the world though, thats the thing. theyve barely even sold 5 million PS3s overall, and thats their homeland where they absolutely love Sony.
Europe and North America are the big gaming regions. if you win one of those, your console is successful. the 360 has comprehensively won the North America region, and is holding its own in Europe. they could sell 0 360s in Japan - they basically do already - and it wouldnt make any difference because ...
well if they remade it using the Reach engine they would obviously add in online multiplayer, so there you go, something new.
like A7XEric said, this wouldnt be a 'HD Remake' in the way that Sonys God of War HD Collection is - this is literally re-making the game for the 360, using 100% new assets and everything. the God of War collection just took the PS2 game and upscaled the original assets to 720p. a Halo CE remake is basically like what they just did to NBA Jam -...
youre misunderstanding my post.....
im not one of the 'they didnt play it enough, they need to put in at least 200 hours and get to level 40' brigade. personally i think the game deserves a 7-7.5/10...........but this is very obviously a review written just based on what the person has read about the game via a quick google search.
why do i think this?
- he says its got youtube upload. now if youd played the game, you would NOT say it...
i wish theyd remake shadow warrior for XBLA/PSN, that game was absolutely epic, a great follow up to Duke Nukem 3D.
that was a terrible review, and quite frankly i dont think they even played it too much - they say that its got youtube uploading.........
for B-spec they say you get to control a team of racers.....funny, the only thing you really get to do in it is say go faster, go slower, overtake, or keep doing what youre doing. not really any team management in there.
it also says that the cars sustain damage like they should, which we know they dont. t-boning someone a...
how many did Reach, ODST, and Halo 3 do on their first day again?
just shows that even PS3s biggest games just dont sell anywhere near the level of the 360s. 2.4 million worldwide 4 days are terrible numbers for a game with as much hype and expectation as GT5 has. if it cant crack 2 mil on day 1, no PS3 exclusive game ever will. there have been multiple 360 games that have.
when will people get over this 'forza 3 only switches textures over for damage' thing? it really shows youve never played the game.
here are some shots of forza 3s damage - note the deformed panels and bumpers along with the paint being scratched/scuffed:

get your head out of the sand you sony fanboys in here - there is NO progressive damage level in GT5. what you get at level 1 is what you get at level 40.
go into arcade mode, choose a premium car, and go nuts. bash it against walls and other cars, and youll see the damage - slightly deformed bumpers, some scratches and scuff marks, slightly loose bumpers. thats it. thats all she wrote for damage in GT5, unless you get a premium RACE car, in which case doors can fall off.
why oh why are people STILL carrying on about 'full damage becomes unlocked after level 40'? the guy who posted the video that started that rumour on GTPlanet came out himself and said he was only level 7! not 40, 7! and it was in arcade mode! he just took like 25 minutes of constant bashing the car at high speeds against walls to get it looking like that lol.
personally i find it funny that even more of GT5s big features that the fanboys were bragging about for month...
"Update 2: A Sony representative explained that the 4.1 million actually represents Move units shipped to stores, adding "While we don't disclose our exact sell-through number, the key is that our retailers continue to ask for more Move units and are taking every unit we can supply them with based on their sales." "
lol
so again, Sony only release shipped numbers. gee, why would that be? because thats all they ever release, because tha...
the PS Phone, from the leaked video, is just too big IMO. its so bulky that i wouldnt buy one. then theres the fact that the biggest drawback with most smartphones is battery life - lots of people i know struggle to get 1 day out of their iphones/android phones with moderate use. using it to play full on PSP style games would kill it in a few hours - so that instantly rules that out for me.
when my contract is up im going to get a win phone 7, as i love the interface and the ...
