The level of detail was far better than GTA or Prototype.
The videos for the sequel, however, are so much better than the original that I wonder if they're even using the same engine or perhaps have leased the one from Naughty Dog.
Hopefully we'll find out soon.
No one even knows what it is except geeks and dorks.
They've allocated part of their marketing budget to buying their own equipment (which very few consumers even know exists) in order to get their products to the top of the Amazon sales charts and give the false impression of popularity. This is no different than how they paid celebrities to pretend to like it and to say "your body is your controller" as if they weren't trained to say it. Or all the fake videos.
No regular consumers are buying it. Not only...
Microsoft has been manipulating it for years.
Most people don't even know "Kinect" exists. Yet magically it's number one on Amazon? Give me a break.
It's no coincidence that Kinect, Live and the 360 Slim are 1,2,3 on Amazon.
Microsoft is betting the farm on Kinect. They've given away 360s. They're paying celebrities to say "your body is the controller." The're putting up fake demo (Milo) after ...
Like the prime-sense unit, Natal/Kinect also has a two ultra-cheap CMOS sensors (640x480x30fps) and a single low-cost IR LED but the processing is done on the 360 itself rather than in the camera.
This reduces cost of the camera itself (no 3D processor needed) while also increasing the number simultaneous users to whatever the 360's CPU can handle.
The result is that Natal/Kinect has a total parts cost under $15 but, because of the 360 CPU, is more effect...
it simply records images on to a couple of dirt cheap CMOS sensors.
The images are then processing on the 360 itself, not the camera, to determine depth.
It's just a webcam.
Crappy one too.
640x480x30fps
for the sake of charity.
They did it to buy good reviews, coverage and hype.
GT5 will do well in Europe but it will also do well in Japan and the US.
Kinect/Natal has been a dismal failure. The reason is the fake videos they've been releasing.
The videos promised Milo and we got a laggy Wii-sports ripoff. They promised individual finger recognition to control integrated webapps and in reality it's too imprecise to identify finger movements.
Typical Microsoft. Over-promise and under-deliver. The entertainme...
They could charge $20 and still make a profit on the hardware.
Microsoft still doesn't get it.
Apple's success with the iPhone isn't because of the specific apps but rather because the basic product itself is beautiful, easy to use, and does what it's suppposed to do without a fuss.
In other words, it's a genuinely well designed and engineered product. Microsoft has never released a well designed and engineered product.
Until Microsoft's top mgmt changes their way of thinking t...
is not picking up on the fact that this is "demo" was fake.
Watch the hand on-screen move before the guy's hand at 3:00.
Microsoft is the only gaming company passing off fake "demos" and fake endorsements.
What does that say about their confidence in their own products?
and frantic rants.
Let's just stick to civilized conversation, shall we? I think we can all agree that it's much better to converse politely than to go around calling people names which, let's face it, helps no one and get's us all nowhere but in the gutter.
masquerading as an article.
How embarrassing for Gizmodo.
First they commit larceny and attempted extortion and it's no secret they're taking bribes.
with scenes that are genuine CGI quality.
Overall, given the sheer scope of the action and the quality of the rendered image, Killzone 3 is probably doing as much or more from a computation standpoint.
It's just Borderlands with a more generic art style. It's characterized by very little pixel shading, low-polygon character models, not a lot of post-processing, but lots and lots of hype.
Modern Warfare 2 is also 60fps yet much more dynamic.
doesn't makes this one any less ugly.
If you break your leg, will pointing at other people with broken legs change the fact that your leg is still broken?
It's 2010. This looks like it's from 2003.
From a visual standpoint, there were 360 launch games that blow this away.
These are some seriously offensive visuals.
and retain the sandboxness I'll be impressed.
If you wanted to show a problem with GT5's crash physics that's a bad video. That video is simply a crash with Damage mode turned off.
That means deformation, scratches, and roll-overs have been disabled.
Since the car is prevented from rolling over by the game control it just spins until the energy is spent.
This one from Prologue is much better as it's a real glitch although it's not strictly a "crash" glitch. Y...
Touch-sensitive buttons is now an important feature?
Were there any such charts listing touch sensitive buttons when comparing the fat PS3?
How about a slot load drive.
Or perhaps a drive that doesn't destroy your discs.
Or Blue-tooth to transfer your cell-phone photos.
And why is the $199 360 listed with a hard-drive?
Blu-Ray should be listed as a separate feature.
How ...
