And I'm certain it will sell millions.
DaCajun is actually incorrect. Lag in most games is dependent on latency, not bandwidth. 512kb is more than enough for PSN gaming as long as he had adequate pings and he's not hosting. If he's hosting, then he'll need much higher upload bandwidth. I run 1.5 kbps DSL just fine, all of my friends with fiber optic networking tell me I never lag on any multiplayer game, both on 360 and PS3.
Things get a little more complicated if he decides to chat over the 512kb connection though.
With sub HD graphics on consoles right?
Kill after kill in deathmatch. Gets boring quickly. I'm looking more forward to MAG.
I hope this game turns out well. So far it seems like a snipefest.
Too bad it's only 4 vs 4 on consoles.
I don't doubt what you are saying. A lot of your statements hold truth. The problem MW2 faces is that a lot of other present-day themed shooters look and feel like it. Killzone on the other hand has nothing else similar to it at all.
I always felt that COD4 was too arcade-ish and twitchy, requiring minimal teamwork. I'm often competing against my own team just to get killstreaks.
COD4 however was revolutionary at the time. Not entirely sure if MW2 will have the same effect, considering that great FPS games have boomed in recent years.
MAG looks eerily similar to this, except it will have better tactical gameplay and teamwork involved.
Sorry for the ignorance... can anyone tell me what's the maximum number of players the game can support on the consoles? Thanks.
My BF1943 still freezes ever since firmware 3.0 and 3.01. I have the 80gb fat PS3.
Unfortunately the last big DLC didn't really boost the number of players online. I did see a little increase, which died out within two weeks. As optimistic as I'd like to be about this game, the community died out long ago. I did follow a few clans and joined their matches, but they were so far and few in between.
My BF1943 still freezes with the new 3.01. Before 3.0, it never crashed while playing that game.
The online community for this game on the PS3 is practically dead. I think it's a really fun game, but CTF and Deathmatch (team or not) get boring after awhile because there's no real progression or upgrades. They just needed to modify the gameplay a little more just to keep it from being a standard FPS. I do love the speed and flow in this game though.
What a great list! (sarcasm). Just leave out all the PS3 exclusives why don't we? U2 and MAG. Lost Planet 1 was mediocre at best. I don't know why the sequel is getting so much hype.
Gears was buggy, period.
All the other pieces are not 360 exclusive (except FableII). I own both systems so I can honestly say that Halo is the ONLY thing 360 has going for it.
It doesn't matter if Sony games will win Game of the Year across various gaming magazines. Microsoft will still put out GOTY editions on their games even if they don't win any LOL.
I think these dynamic themes are overrated. I have nothing against them, I just think Sony could be doing other productive things with firmware updates. Just my honest opinion.
Wow I'm surprised NFS got a decent score! Way to go!
I agree, that's why I'm waiting for MAG.
So far, Dragon Rising looks like a boring snipefest between 8 people on consoles (4 vs 4). The open environment is way too big for just 4vs4.
