The news is exciting if true.
The picture is just plain exciting.
The big thing about Resistance was how smooth the picture was more than anything else. They utilized AA beautifully in that game. I only wish they'd done the same in Haze.
Still, I'm looking forward to it. It may not be graphically perfect, but I like the smoothness of the gameplay. I hope they fix rumble when firing guns, though...I don't like the lack of feedback from my Dualshock when I squeeze the trigger.
After rewatching some of the videos a few times, I think that the demo was a bad representation of the overall game. The videos also have a lot of the same pixelation, but in areas without a lot of vegetation, the environments look fine. They just did a crappy job rendering vegetation for whatever reason, and that's not something I'll begrudge them.
I also have a feeling that the story and voice acting get a lot better further in. A lot of people were down on the demo because of ...
Bingo. Give it time.
Looks perty.
I just hope they get rumble on gunfire in the final product. No rumble when I'm shooting = weaksauce.
Wipeout HD is going to run 1080p resolution at 60 FPS. :P
That's exactly why, every time I hear some idiot wax poetic about a "one console future," I throw up in my mouth a little.
I'm sorry, but no one is better than Aria Giovanni.
This isn't going to spoil the video premier because a lot of the models haven't been updated yet. That, and the video premier will be in 720p, not this crap resolution recorded off a TV at distance...
The Wii has provided a brilliant and wonderful future for shovelware that Sony or Microsoft would reject at a glance. I don't think it's going to dictate the future of gaming because it caters to a very different audience from the two more graphically powerful consoles, and the two audiences provide two very different types of revenue.
I'd really like to know whether the demo is representative of the finished game's graphics. I'm waiting to see some feedback from people that bought the game, honestly, because I'm not sure if it's worth $60, or if I should just rent it.
Not necessarily. I had an original Xbox, but bought the PS3 this generation. It provided the better bang for my buck...$400 for a game console and a Blu-ray player, or $350 for a game console and an additional charge of $50 a year for online play. Not much of a contest.
That's also why I bought an original Xbox. It provided the best value at the time because it had a hard drive in it and had a lot of multimedia functionality.
Brand preference only ever comes into pla...
I hope so. I really want to know how they compare before I buy the game.
More like bad programming is holding up the PS3 in this case. Resistance 2 is said to run 720p at 60 FPS with AA, and the game looks absolutely incredible.
Too bad it still has no anti-aliasing. The resolution doesn't really matter to me...The game is a mess of horrid pixelation. If the demo is from an old version, then they should have released a demo from the new version instead of showing me how bad it *used* to look. I have a feeling that the demo is representative of the current graphics, or they wouldn't have put it up on the PSN.
It saddens me that this "exclusive" that I was so excited about just looks like a bad p...
If it comes out for PS3, I'll buy it. If it doesn't, I'll live.
I don't see why it's a big deal either way.
Agreed. This almost makes me wonder if the "screenshots" from January were actually from the game's engine. I dismissed them as art, too...Still pretty sure that's what they are, though. ;)
That's probably because they were using a lot of elements from the old engine. Wait until we see real gameplay video on the 13th of next month before you judge it.
Vote with your money. If you have a problem with the way EA treats PS3 customers, don't buy their garbage shovelware in the future. If you're particularly passionate about it, write them a letter or email whenever you decide to pass up on one of their games due to past performance with the platform.
Petitions are dandy if you can get the word out and get signatures, but a boycott would be better. Get other people involved and just don't buy their products. They'll either shape u...
