Lol, I should leave this site because I broke your little arguments. I'm not saying that PC betas aren't a marketing exercise - I'm saying that they're also actual betas. Whereas the single configuration console versions, aren't.
Better graphics - as you've admitted.
Better controls - which you didn't admit to. But given the fact than you can use any control you want - 360 controller, keyboard/mouse, or joystick - you should have done.
Better online -...
Then please f*ck off back to MAG or MW2 or whatever else on your DX9 consoles, bro.
Yeah, it's called a beta right? As in an actual beta, because of the infinite different configurations and bugs they have to fix.
Unlike console beta, which is a marketing exercise.
Better graphics, better online, better controls. Of course, when you exclude all these, and trash your PC, yes the PS3/360 version comes out on top. What stupid reasoning.
White Knight Chronicles got hyped up assloads by single console idiots. That's why it got shouted down.
When a shooter gets high scores, like MW2, it still gets shouted down. (although, rightly so in that case)
Consoles are not confirmed, PC is - http://www.shacknews.com/on...
But I'd put my money on this coming to consoles.
Hopefully, given that PC is the primary platform, that they don't eff it up and bubble wrap it for the idiot console crowd like Deus Ex 2.
I've slagged Gamesthirst off before, when all they were was a blogspot blog which runts somehow kept on greenlighting.
The author, Ernice Gilbert, has added nothing to the original Gamasutra article, other than a baiting bullsh*t title. That's it, by adding the sentence that Microsoft are closest to Epic, they've somehow come up with a totally off base headline which makes absolutely no sense.
Epic aren't in dire straits. Sure, they'll play along with the Gamasutra...
You can buy it off all manner of different sources.
Legacy Games have merely added it to their shop.
The writer of this article has obviously done no research whatsoever and copy pasted some press release.
WTF? Has anyone even commented on the quality of KZ graphics? No, because it's irrelevant.
I mentioned MW2 and Crysis because they both have better graphics than Halo. Are you one of those stupid sh*ts that thinks games don't exist outside of your little consoles?
As if being on a PC means that it doesn't influence or inspire a console developer? Well Half-Life was PC, and that has inspired every single FPS since its release. And so was Quake. And so was Doom. ...
Only, this isn't your elementary school grading scheme, and you do not get a gold sticker.
Look on Metacritic, see how in every other medium (films, music) that the freshhold for a green "good" score is lower than the 75 for games.
That's because too many games publications are still at the "fan" stage. They're not there for critical thought, but for enthusiasm. It's because the medium is still young, and they've not shaken that off yet.
...
HHG c*nts it up again.
He could have claimed that Modern Warfare, or Crysis, inspires Halo development. But no, he says Sony, and claims Killzone as the inspiration because he enjoys c*nting it up.
Didn't Halo inspire the entire Killzone series? What was the original KZ hyped as?
Who gives a crap about Halo graphics anyway?
7's a good score from Edge.
I think you're using IGN's 8-10 only scale.
I'll take another shooter over another JRPG.

For how much longer are we going to milk this?
The author is confused, whereas he states in the title that "Games Can Never Be Art", he goes on to describe games which he thinks are art, and tries to classify those as good or bad.
Games clearly can be art, I disagree with the notion that an interactive experience can not be shaped or guided by an artist.
Not every game can be considered art, in the same way not every film can be considered art.
All of which disagrees with the title of the p...
And make it multiplat.
Seriously, The Nomad Soul was fantastic, and it's a universe we need to revisit.
OLED is the f*cking future - it has so much potential. The screens are gorgeous, thin, flexible and low power.
And yet Sony are pulling back on this line, and concentrating on bullsh*t technologies that no one wants such as 3D TVs. Never before, has such a worthless technology been foist upon us by so many manufacturers.
For the last year, we've all been told how we should all want 3D TVs so we can watch the Weather while wearing colour destroying polarising lenses...
I like how you capped STATISTICALLY PROVEN because your argument wasn't strong enough to support lower case letters.
If you think reviews should be there to second guess the Metacritic average, then you're doing it wrong.
It's not like Edge are unique in in giving Heavy Rain a 7 - and the review treats the game as it should be treated, it focuses on the story, narrative and interactivity. How many mags/sites gave the original Mass Effect a 7? Or Bioshock an 8?
No, they managed to get their pencils out of their mouths and write a review too.
Only, that would require some comprehension on your behalf, and you can barely grasp numbers.
So 7 it is.
No, it's just that standards have moved on since Fahrenheit (which established this style of gameplay).
There was a "Time Extend" piece in Edge recently about Fahrenheit, which was fairly critical of the plot going full retard.
I'd say Fahrenheit was pretty overrated at the time, people were all applauding the adult direction and innovation that it represented - glossing over that the player ends up as a zombie jedi fighting the internet.
Even if it does come to PC, it'll be horribly raped with Games For Windows Live.
