I preorderer from Amazon before they delayed it from December to January. Amazon sent me an email saying it would ship by March 31 when they announced the delay but now they sent me another email saying it will ship January 17.
So, assuming Amazon has it right, it might actually ship mid-January in NA.
Actually, PS3 can upscale from 960x1080 and 1440x1080 to 1920x1080.
It cannot upscale from any resolution to 1080 but it can from those 2 for sure. GTHD was 1440x1080 upscaled to 1920x1080. Not sure about this GT5P though...
They loved it for sure but they just focused on all the "problems" they could possibly find with it. Price too high (I will get it day 1 for sure), a little of screen tearing, some frame drops and it looks upscaled.
ROFL
It looks freaking real IMO. Freaking amazing game at 1080p/60FPS.
Frame rate drops from 60 FPS to what? 59? How the f*ck can they tell? It's not like most 30 FPS games where any frame rate drops are noticeable, dropping from 60 to even 30 in a few spots will not make a difference.
Also upscaling is likely but only horizontal. I think the game is rendered at 960x1080 which is still freaking awesome. Just look at the damn videos and screenshots... it looks freaking real.
I believe aftertouch is in the full game not in the demo. Not sure but I saw a video of it. You could even control your car backwards and could get 2x multipliers from hitting buses and stuff. Was pretty cool... can't find the link though :(
You should be happy that some developer is actually using the 3 cores on the 360. This is how you get such a kick ass game running at 60 FPS.
Both look and play good.
The PS3 has a more stable frame rate. It never seems to drop bellow 60 FPS at all :)
The 360 also runs at a nice 60 FPS but every once in a while frame rate drops a little. Still both are awesome. Great job, great game.
No one knows for sure how many units they already sold. Maybe they are over the 7.2M VGChartz estimates.
Anyway I still believe that 11M by end of March will be pretty hard unless they already sold close to 8M. In that case they will likely sell another 1.5M until the end of the year putting them up to 9.5M. Now 1.5M Jan-Mar sounds doable.
But let me say it again. I don't think it will happen.
MGS4 is not coming out before May/June and Killzone 2 is expected in September/October.
But Haze is coming out in January ;)
It works with wheel on the PS3, it even supports force feedback. Don't have a 360 but I'm pretty sure it will work the same way too.
Sure 360 sold a lot more than the PS3 this whole year. But looking at NDP numbers the ratio between the 2 is much shorter now than in September. In Sept, 360 outsold PS3 5 to 1, in Oct 3 to 1 but in Nov only 1.6 to 1.
The PS3 did not sell 800k in Europe. It was about 548k. Here are the numbers from VGChartz for the period 04th Nov 2007 to 02nd Dec 2007:

Actually vgchartz includes Canada while NPD is US only. Since Canada is about 10% of the NA sales, then vgchartz estimates are not that off.
VGC vs NPD (added 10% for Cananda)
DS = 1,578,957 vs 1,530,000 (over estimated by about 48k)
Wii = 1,157,936 vs 981,000 (over estimated by about 176k)
360 = 881,881 vs 770,000 (over estimated by about 111k)
PSP = 520,502 vs 567,000 (under estimated by about 48k)
PS2 = 547,176 vs 496,000 (over est...
Nope, the demo is gone from the Japanese store. Maybe US/EU gets one soon...
I would never buy anything from Valve on the PS3 (Gabe Newel hates the PS3 and he wants to make a point about it) but I have to admit that the EA port is not that bad. Some frame rate issues but besides that looks identical to 360. And they achieved this while using only Cell's PPU and 0 (zero) SPEs. I can only imagine how this game would look/play if properly ported for the PS3.
Anyway, got UT3 instead of Orange Box. Runs great and looks pretty amazing. Great job Epic.

Does not matter if it's AAA or AAAA or AA or A. Uncharted is a great game, plays great looks stunning. Unless you played through Uncharted don't bad mouth it please ;)
I'm going through Crushing too... it's freaking hard. Hope I can get through it. Oh well, going to play it right now. Later
Just use gamestats.com. It's from the IGN network and way better than the metacritic/gamerankings

Sorry man but someone that calls Uncharted "unpolished" never played through it. I'm on the second run (Crushing mode), my first run was about 11hrs in hard. Didn't rush through, didn't skip any cut scenes and enjoyed every bit of those amazing graphics, the perfect water and the unbelievable full screen Sun glare. It was 10 hours of pure enjoyment.
The is my favorite game on the PS3, hands down.
I have this problem with 30 FPS shooters too. The only ones I can play long periods of time without an headache are CoD4 and Warhawk. They both run at 60 FPS and for me that makes a big difference.
Do you guys also get the headache with CoD4 and Warhawk?
