Definitely a viral game. A friend of mine was telling me about it yesterday, these were his exact words:
"Get Noby Noby boy, it's amazing! You can eat your own arse!"
Squeenix, being the mere shadow of their former selves, needs money. Microsoft has money. I don't see the secret or surprise.
This is completely, utterly, absolutely CORRECT.
And I'd like to see someone come up with a valid reason why not.
I don't understand this, either. 480i is the same as 480p, except only every other line is sent during each update (with the missing ones sent in the next update). It only exists to save bandwidth in broadcasting, the console still has to render the whole image before it can send the individual lines to the TV. Very strange, indeed.
Still, it's one of those things you'll probably never notice unless someone points it out to you and hey - you're not exactly playing the Wii for it...
Not a bad article, some nice apps I didn't know about there.
But I have to disagree with them in one instance: IsoBurn. I'm sure this is a lovely application, but it's very simple and only does one task (burn .iso images). Now that might be it's charm, but why settle for less?
Give ImgBurn a go ( http://www.imgburn.com/ ), it'll burn just about any image format you're likely to ever come across, it'll rip disks t...
"I can't even comprehend to see anymore of those false lightning effects"
Unless it's realtime ray-traced, it's all "false" lighting.
What is it with people judging games before they're even released, lately? How can you honestly say RE5 is "worth a rent" if there hasn't even been reviews of the game yet? Or is it from now on, all SP games are only "worth a rent" and you keep the MP games?
If RE5 is anything like RE4 (particularly the PS2/PC version), there'll be plenty of depth to it for you to get your monies worth, but until we start seeing some reviews, it'll be impossible to say.
I absolutely despise 50 cent, but despite the above review, the general consensus here is that the game isn't all that bad. I'm going to give it a rent at some point and see what the craic is.
We ARE talking about graphics, but now you're talking about the very basics that constitute graphics, yet when you do that you can't outrightly say that one game is graphically superior to another. Does Killzone 2 have the best lip syncing technology out there? The best Facial animation? Probably not. Best particle physics? Maybe!
To really get to the core of this "argument", you do actually have to step back and ask the question "What do we mean by 'graphics'?&quo...
Dude, let me ask you straight - what exactly is it that I've said that you're so upset about? I sitting here stating that I like both PSN and XBLA for different reasons, that they each have their advantages, pros and cons, yet you're getting very defensive, like I've said something horrible or made out that the PSN is rubbish. I'm at a loss, I can't be any more clear here. Yeah, sure, I've got a "preference" for green, I prefer my 360 over my PS3 and I'm not afraid to admit that (Th...
@Why o why
Once again, you missed my point entirely, except this time it went completely over your head and into a field nearby.
"oh so halo is better than gears 2 because it can do split screen right?"
Where did I say Halo was better than anything? Where did I say Split screen made a game better? What I said was it made the game DIFFERENT and that's why the comparison isn't so black in white. How on earth did you miss that? Look, I'll quote th...
@Why o why - I've already embarrassed one person on this forum by posting a picture of my PS3, do you really want me to do the same to you?
But getting back on topic, you missed my point entirely. I never once said that XBLA's titles were BETTER than PSN's and that was precisely my point. I simply said that XBLA has a lot more titles than PSN, "Quality" titles being ones that aren't the likes of Yaris or even that free Doritos one we got the other day. Nothing special, ...
Yeah, I did read it, actually. I was responding to this:
"Like all things IT.. I'll believe it when it see it.. "
Sorry, but you're wrong.
Definition for a FAIR test: "A 'fair test' is one in which you only change one thing (variable). "
When you compare a multiplatform game, the only difference is the platform it's running on. When you compare exclusives, not only is the platform different, but so is the game. How the game differs decides how it's designed. It's like comparing an RTS to an FPS - the FPS will "look" better, but it wont have hundreds of enemie...
Innovative games like Braid?
Seriously, comparing the games on the PSN with XBLA is a little silly, for every "innovative" title on PSN, there's about 5 quality titles on XBLA. They might not be innovative, but they're still pretty good games. I'm glad I have both consoles because I get a mixture of both. And just for the record, Wipeout HD is my favourite downloaded title yet.
I think both services are pretty evenly matched in the end, plus people seem to not ca...
You mean like COD4 and CoD:WaW were?
Oh wait, they were identical.
To be fair, COD:WaW was just COD:4 with crappier weapons and (arguably) crappier maps, yet it was still pretty fun.
EDIT: M337ING - What you said makes no sense. "given the first game out only a year ago..."?
Call of Duty 4 came out in 2007. COD:MW2 wont be out until the end of this year, that's 2 full years to make what will undoubtedly be another short (yet still very sweet) SP campaign with a pretty deep MP. It's easily doable, particularly when you con...
Well, the boot screen they're talking about is in the public beta, so if you want to see it for yourself, try it out on a VM or whatever.
This is all just marketing terminology, it doesn't really mean anything, it's just designed to sound impressive. Still, it is a nice effect and I suppose there's no harm in a few nice touches here and there. May as well look at something while your system is booting, eh?
I think this article is more about the reasoning behind it rather than revealing it's existence.
You're right, it's exactly like geometry wars. In that it's got nothing to do with this article.
