Seriously, the inconsistency is ridiculous. I could quote that UTIII "sucks" or "we'll be playing gears 2 instead" back when it first came out on the PS3. But now it comes out on the 360 all I see is "Yay, we have mods, splitscreen, and better graphics!"
I thought no one cared about UT III? I thought mods didn't matter? I thought all that was wanted was "5 official epic made" maps?"
Strange indeed, in order for someone to play UT3 split screen, they must have the 360 version. But in order for someone who wants to try out user-created mods, it's only available on the PS3/PC.
Way to go Epic, you guys absolutely know how to make a Multiplatform game by making all 3 versions completely different.
If they truely can achieve full 1920x1080 progressive at 60 frames per second and still manage to keep all that detail in that video game. Then they need to go to Konami and show Hideo Kojima a thing or two about graphics.
Did Konami really underestimate Metal Gear Online's popularity that bad? They gotta be happy about it.
The Nintendo Wii is pure domination. Heck, they even have a two-part episode in South park with cartman really wanting a Nintendo Wii. Classic.
So I just re-read the comment by Kojima, and it looks like he got a little specific which to my surprise nobody here has mentioned.
"But the graphic, side things like motion-blending and the size of the map, totally was not accomplished to my original vision - to my satisfaction."
Size of the map? Maybe graphically it's to his satisfaction, but perhaps he couldn't make an open world like he envisioned similar to how he was praising Assassin's creed for it's...
Why does anybody really care? GTA IV is going to be a way better game than Halo 3. Halo 3 had it's fun moments, but it's average graphics and age-old gameplay was nothing amazing. GTA IV though, so far the multiplayer modes looks 10x better than Halo 3. Who won't have fun roaming around the city with 15 other players? I cant wait
Now BigJim, I agree to a certain extent. But you do realize we have not seen anything but 8 month old builds? Once the actual game ships, trailers, screen shots, etc. Then we can all criticize the graphics if they are good or not.
To be honest, I just played MGS2 the other day. Yes MGS2, and that game was a graphical show piece even til now. I highly highly highly doubt that MGS4 will disappoint. Bear in mind, the Metal Gear games were the ones that Pioneered graphically for the...
Your words are noted, because wow... I think you're onto something. Maybe this is just the "Excuse" for him to make MGS5. Once he makes MGS5 and they ask him "We thought MGS4 was the last?" He'll take this interview out of context and say "I wasn't satisified with MGS4."
Yes, because if they put it on the 360, they could have just used 5 seperate DVD's and would have been able to focus on 1 DVD at a time so the graphics would have been better. Of course they would have to compress the sound effects left and right, but hey it doesn't matter to 360 owners. They just want graphics and nothing else. And Kojima will love the fact that Microsoft will want them to make the game based that not all 360 owners don't have a HDD. That same 360 console where Kojima said i...
I agree with Azures, we have actually not really seen anything. At least based on previous metal gears. I remember MGS2 when it was first announced with all the trailers and everything. Kojima went to even as far as putting snake in some shots where we actually play as Raiden instead. Kojima is very tricky when it comes to this stuff. And to be honest, I could care less of Kojima thinks the graphics in MGS4 is a pile of stinking poo, I'll play the game for the Story and the gameplay. The gra...
You know, usually graphics are the last piece of the developing puzzle. Meaning, that's what gets the most optimization time towards the end. The other majority of the time, it's all about the concept, story, gameplay, programming all of that, and then optimize graphics for either better frame rates, textures, or even downgrading if necessary for it to run better.
Of course I'm making an assumption lol, but it just makes sense to me.
So people can rightfully hate Nintendo now. This is what it came down to, an Iconic Video Game legend is being used for a stupid DS track and field game.
Core gamers? If you didn't know, there's a lot of owners who happen to own both consoles because they are a "Core gamer." It's the "casuals" who own only one console, and we all know where they went.
Strange, how this Microsoft PR spokesperson is saying such things when truely none of the hardcore big Sony titles are even out yet. Notably MGS4, Gran Turismo 5 (not prologue), and Final Fantasy XIII.
If none of those games sell the PS3, then probably nothing will. Microsoft can PR spin alllllllll they want after that.
I am praying for all gamers around the globe, to have no deaths and nobody get hurt over this game. Why do I say this you wonder? Because I could imagine the sheer number of fan-that-are-boys (lol) that will line up together with one having a 360 and the other having a PS3. Let's hope they don't have any fights about which system is better or that nonsense, just pick up they're copy of the game and go home and play it.
Other than that, we'll see how Rockstar will make 6 million c...
I think the PS3 did quite well considering there was a "SHORTAGE" of 80gb PS3's hahahaha
Jokes aside, it's not too surprising the 360 will make a jump back. It still has a lot of games people want to play at a lower entry price point.
However, it's not like Sony did too bad either considering there's only 40gbs available. I think things will change pretty drastically once the MGS4 bundle is available. I said this to my friend that I think Sony shot themselv...
Conveniently they are now "Stocked" before GTA IV's release. I could recall many people claiming that Microsoft was doing this whole "shortage" thing on purpose. And wow, never thought it'd actually be true.
Wow... I cant believe bladestar is actually typing that out. Using BMW as an example? Good god...
They might be able to pull off the Master Chief model, but I wouldn't count on any Final Fantasy characters. Seeing as how Square Enix threatened to sue some korean singers for "looking" like final fantasy chracters already. I highly doubt they'd let actual close character models like Cloud Strife or Zack Fair be published by anybody else but themselves.
