When we think about microsoft spending 2 years with maybe a 200 people team, to make shutdown time a couple of seconds shorter..
When most people at work do it in half a second.. by turning the monitor off.
Uncarted 3 was using 6 yo hardware.graphic chip was developped 1 or 2 years before,so, maybe the rsx is 7-8 years old tech. With cell, they could make uc2 and will make the last of us.
Now imagine next ps4 graphic chip, that will be a prototype,and maybe its hardware will be seen in 2013, on some nvidia 8xx or ATI 12xxx, at some hi end graphic cards.
Maybe they will use some kind of directx 12 or 13, or crazy opengl xx , that will make a better use of texture...
Really, except a few games, I bet 90% of the games are going to look like the same old crap on Wii, stupid mee , simple textures, games for 7 yo kids, who don't care about hd or dts master audio tracks. Games done in 3 months, that cost 100k $ to produce, where Nintendo will earn millions.
Really, for a console that is supposed to be 50% faster than ps3 or x360, people please forget 50 million $ incredible games, and get ready to shovelware, in 'hd'
Regarding my comment, 20 posts above:
There's already 2 young ga-ys who clicked on disagree.
Come on, don't be shy ;)
Maybe people complain about uc3 end, but after uc2 last fight against lazarovic, who almost costed me a new dualshock,it was sooo frustating, when you had to hit him just one more time, and grenades were all over you,and he run so fast.. that was sooo frustrating for me,I felt like throwing the gamepad against my tv.
I was wishing uc3 end wouldn't be that hard and frustating.I want to finish the story and keep my smile, don't want a almost impossible to beat final bos...
Once, Nintendo was creative.today,they are greedy, they release consoles built with cheap hardware, slow CPUs, almost no online,so they can earn money with consoles, day one, and they make 30 versions of the same games.
They bring motion to gamers(mostly kids, who got a Wii from daddy), and also to people who hacked it to play for free.motion might be a nice thing, on Wii, the first couple of months, but Nintendo made nothing with it, besides shovelware, the same crappy VGA graphics, ...
Man, I put more then 20 hours to finish it.alone. excellent game,I rarely saw a colored level design like that.
You can't go wrong with rayman, and I think its available on psn, quite cheap.
Really great game,great, but in all aspects,which makes it unique.
Let's not forget many gamers already have a console and a portable one.
If you bought a Wii, then went hd, with ps3 or x360, that's already 2 consoles and 2 different games. If you're lucky, maybe you had a psp, and bought a ds.how many consoles already? I let you count them.
Many gamers have 2,3, maybe 4 consoles, its just normal they don't jump on vita wagon day one. They are waiting till it gets one game they want or they wait till game prices drop...
You are right.
It's true I was a bit too excited about this game.mainly because I love platforming games, and thought zack zero was particularly well done,comparing to many others (rocket knight,etc), and even with its faults, zack is pretty good,still, in my opinion.
Didn't play trine 2, but I remember the first trine , there was barely one type of enemies, the skeletons, during the whole game.
Rayman is incredible, ,my +20 hours on it were r...
I really think this game, without being a masterpiece, has really good graphics, nice puzzles, good music and sound effect, the colors palette is well choosen, and great effects, particles,etc. It even has nice shadows. For a 700 mb file, its really good, and every megabyte of textures is well used in the game: we can guess crocoware studios put a lot of work and passion, to bring us those incredible and aliase-free graphics.
Geeez, that dog wouldn't win a beauty contest.
I don't think I ev$er played a demo.was there one, on psn?
As you wish :)
incredible.
i own the game, and don't agree with a single thing, this guy said, in his review.
sounds are great, as are the music, like epic gladiator/lotr symphonic parts. also, the effects are great and funny.
the guy says graphics are like cartoon. 300% wrong: this games sports the most incredible graphics i could see, these last years. graphics are as good as god of war 3 ones, i repeat.
you won't believe your eyes when you see thi...
the guys from that studio must be hiding in amazonian jungle.
or maybe they have been hired by red dead redemption studio, as a punishment...
wrong,you did it right :)
i would say this:
really, it's been 6 years since the first hd consoles were released. many games came out, good games, great games, incredible games.also incredible shits. thousands of reviews were written, games dissected, analysed, bought day one, or avoided like poisoned rats, forever. if you are a developer, and it's your first game on xbox or ps3, you don't know what to except from people, journalists, etc. but when you'...
Sometimes no demos= hidden shit
Sometimes bad demos= final game as bad as the demo
Sometimes average demos=final game much better
Perfect world: average demo, final product much better or perfect
Unfortunately, the world is not perfect ;)
this game has incredible graphics, that i rarely saw in a game. the graphics look like god of war 3, for me, and are as good as on the santa monica title. no aliasing at all, incredible effects, hard enemies, good weapons, powers. incredible effects, particles, wind, fire, ice.
the graphics on this game are really amazing, and if you are lucky enough to download the 700mb, you will be amazed, how good it was. remember, graphics look like god of war 3. believe me.
how ...
yes, and sometimes demos don't reflect 100% of the final game. i remember god of war 3 demo, it was really cool, but there was a lot of aliasing, and textures weren't that great. i know a couple of guys who were disappointed with the demo, and didn't buy the full game.
after playing the demo, when you played the full version, it was like "WOW, this stuff is incredible".
maybe this demo isn't that great. often demos are still alpha c...
they master hardware, storytelling,almost everything, and they know how to make a good game. TLOU will be the kind of game that people will be buying for their 99$ console, in a couple of years.
