Whats with all the Unreal 3 bashing? Since when did I step in a parallel universe where Unreal 3 looked bad?
"Due to aggressive licensing, this current iteration has garnered a great deal of support from several big licensees, including Atari, Activision, Capcom, Disney, Konami, Koei, 2K Games, Midway, THQ, Ubisoft, Sega, Sony, Electronic Arts, Square Enix and more. UE3 has also seen adoption by many non-gaming projects including construction simulation and design, training...
I honest to god though it was CG...this game blew my mind. Possibly the best looking game yet, on console at least.
Open Zone?
But the article isn't really about that. The article isnt that great either way though, and the author doesn't really say anything interesting...we all know there is still love for the DC, yadda yadda. The parallels he attempts to draw are weak at best, even though they are mostly positive.
The DC is dead and gone, get over it. I had one and enjoyed it too, but that time is long gone.
The PS3 is the PS3.
Thats because the CELL chip Sony uses is the same chip that Toshiba is using in TV's; its a multifunction chip, not a custom chip in the sense that the 360 is.
Thats exactly what made the 360 so powerful; MS looked at what kind of cores IBM was building and helped to create a design that maximizes perfomance while being easy to program for. People like to dismiss MS, but thats the funniest crap I have heard.
Lets all understand something here, MS writes more SW than...
But when asked the flame war inducing question, "which console is actually more powerful?"
Shippy tells Gamasutra, "I'm going to have to answer with an 'it depends.' Again, they're completely different models. So in the PS3, you've got this Cell chip which has massive parallel processing power, the PowerPC core, multiple SPU cores… it's got a GPU that is, in the model here, processing more in the Cell chip and less in the GPU. So that's one processing paradigm -- a...
Halo 3's graphics are awesome, but more people hate on that game than any, being the target that it is. There is a reason why there is a screenshot feature, saved films...they previewed Halo at the IMAX for chrissakes. Hell, Halo 2 looks better than some games coming out today, especially in level design and art direction.
A new box is of course speculation. I am sure it is currently being developed, but I wonder what processors they are looking at. More importantly, what kind...
Have any of you seen this yet? This game looks ridiculous...possible contender for best graphics technology yet...no joke, no spin. This game looks amazing
That you dont eat cheetos and play video games...definite video game sin. Wasabi peanuts are pretty good...if you live near a Trader Joe, another good one are these honey sesame sticks...ridiculous good and cheap to boot. Hummus with pita bread is another good one.
And some Arizona Green tea fo sho.
I think you should change your name to WickedStupid, because that whole comment was just....stupid. None of those games are 'flops' critically.
@ Rainstorm
Lets see...two of those games racked up most of their numbers thru bundles (Uncharted and Motorstorm), and everyone knows that LBP has done decent, but definitely underperformed, especially in NA. Heavenly Sword 1.4 and it released how long ago? Most of those sales probably happened once it was discounted, also...
This dude Ben always has to thrown in some fanboy comment somewhere, and it instantly ruins the whole piece.
I mean how does that even make sense? Two completely different games that arent even out yet, so he obviously isnt talking about sales, which is the only real number Sony and MS give a crap about.
Ben, quit being a tool already. You state that you have been writing for quite some time? Have you learned anything worthwhile in that time? Or is that why your ...
You guys are funny...patting Sony on the back? For what? Their first party exclusives have all been financial letdowns for the most part, especially when compared to the 360. Really, which one has been truly successful? Resistance has done decent numbers, but compared to any other big shooter they're inconsequential.
Include 3rd party and you get...MGS4. And thats it. And even that game didnt sell as well as they would have liked.
Disagree all you want, but t...
I honestly dont care whether or not people get this on PS3. Though if they do, I would hope they release the first one as well.
The reason I really like this game is the same as Halo...true trilogies that were set up that way from the onset. Thats why its hard to accept certain scores on Halo 2 & 3...if youre not a fan of the series, its kinda like reviewing Return of the Jedi or Return of the King (lol....irony) but you havent seen the first two or dont care about the stor...
FIGHT! Thom is really not that bad. I sure as hell dont agree with some stuff he sez, but I do respect it, some of the time...lol.
But he's def not a troll.
Didnt know that the mouse/kb combo was so important to people...chill out. Didnt know my personal preferences bothered people so much...lol
And I completely stand by what I said...UT3 sales on consoles are crap, especially compared to PC. Is that that hard to believe?
I mean, do you move your PS3 to a desk? I dont see how you could comfortably accomodate a kb/mouse in 99% of typical console setups.
So I say to you Pixel, STFU...
I dont see how free online has to do with multimedia, especially when there was a seperate column for online features. And the PSN can be free all day, but my friends arent on it. And what does SD resolution have to do with anything?
I dont own a PS3, but my roomie does, and its been hooked up to my TV for quite some time up until recently. BR is great for what it is, but HD downloads from LIVE suit me fine; my 360 upsacles the 720P to 1080P for my TV, and it looks very good; ...
Playing your PS3 with a mouse and keyboard? That kills the couch factor for me. Weak sauce...
Great review. He actually fully explained why it was a 10 to him.
Look at all the people trying to tear it dowm...how could you disagree on a score for a game that you havent played and probably will never play?
Go Halo!
EDIT: and actually, he doesnt really score games, but said he would give it a 10 if he did. Either way, it cool to see someone that enjoyed the game so much. I personally think the IGN review is probably the best one.
Didnt GS receive their free Halo mansion and Halo-themed Hummer? What gives?
LOL....unlike the SDF, I dont mind this score. I think they unfairly are comparing to PC RTS, but thats my opinion. Not everyone has to like it. There are people out there that dont like pizza and ice cream too. But they still taste damn good to me.
I just hope this goes to prove that GS doesnt have some secret agenda against Sony, just like every other major pub out there. Matter of f...
I was a 'nub'
