Well, news, weather it be hot tips, or rumours are always welcome, as long as they are labelled as such. But opinions, well everyone has one and none are any more valid than anybody elses, everyone can justify their opinon, but you need ot be carefull when in a position of publishing, that you seperate opionons from facts or tips. It is certianly not just HHG that pubishs opnion as fact, indeed he's probably the lest offensive of them all (yes I'm calling blorge out on this one).

N4G wars!!!

Of course N4G wouldnt have this issue if they actually stuck to posting NEWS, not opinion and conjecture.

Good on Sony, but why do we have a link to a link.
Why don't we just have the games industry article posted?

I cant really tell the difference in the 1st shot (ones got blurr).
But the 2nd shot, my god what the hell is up with the lighting on the Ps3 version, and I dont mean the slightly "light" look, I mean the square light on the floor in the middle. Very square cut.

Still early days.

Perhaps you need to read and understand english a bit better, I was replying to is outragously wrong statements.
"Which would mean that yes xbox360 games sell fast on day 1 but drops.
Then xboxers buy next game first day."
"As I said before, there really aren't new xbox360 owners."

I know the article is about multiplatform 'titles,and I also understand that it's flawed, because percentage wise it will always trend closer to 50/50 as both cons...

ROFL, yeah, you keep telling yourself that.

You cant even suggest that, seriously?
Did you even see the full top 20 NPD for February?
A little hint, the 3rd highest selling PS3 game was outsold by HALO 3 and LEFT FOR DEAD.

If there a no new xbox360 owners who's buying Halo 3?

2. Street Fighter IV (Capcom, Xbox 360)

It's nice to see statistics twisted.
He seems to not understand how percentages work, or even how unit sales work.

Unless a lead increases, percentage wise, as more sales of both consoles go up, percentages go down.

5,000 lead? @ 5,00 and 10,000 that's 50%.

@ 95,000 and 100,000 its a 5% lead.

IT WILL ALWAYS BE DECREASING FROM NOW ON!

Words fail, much like this guys interpretation.

What he should have done is n...

You only need look at the top 20 NPD sales to see the answer to that.
Left 4 Dead and Halo 3 both outsold the 2nd highest selling PS3 game for the month. yes Halo 3.
9 of the top 20 being 360 titles,clearly it has a back catalog of exclusives people want to still buy.

It plays like GTA? Yes, and looks like GTA3 as well.

ROFL, are you kidding me.
This from the God of War 3, GT5, MAG , R&C and Quantum Theory bunch?

Take a good look at confirmed release titles for the PS3 this year.

Killzone 2
Infamous
Uncharted 2
Heavy Rain

Thats it.

Yeah, cause we all know the Japanese titles are going to be triple A. Rolls eyes.

Have you seen Yakuza 3?

Take those fillers out and it's pretty even.

I don't think it was necessary to write and article defending KZ2, especially when you spend more time attacking the original author.

"This person is not a CGI artist or a gamer. He’s a shell of a gamer who complains like a small child in the store who wants a toy and you want to take off your belt and beat him like he was your child in the store in front of his parents while the camera’s are looking at you."

This guy might want to check out MSDN's XNA site, they dont share "with each other" MS shares with the world.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/e...

If only Sony could publish a site like that, then all developers would benifit, not just 1st party.

What Sony has the MS doesnt have, is simply numbers, they have a lot of 1st party studios compared to MS.

Ah, no, if you use shadow mapping you can use alpha maps. Vertex shadows, yes definitely don't work well with alpha maps, but shadow mapping works fine.
He probably is a CG Artist, but not a game CG artist. Cutting corners probably isn't something he does on Silicon Graphics workstations (or whatever they use these days).

Lets me start this by saying some of his points are actually valid. GG admitted almost all of the shadows a pre-baked using Turtle. But I will say this:

-Making games is all about making it look as good as possible for as "cheap" on the processor time as possible. If it isn't pre-baked shadows it can be precomputed spherical harmonics for lighting etc. It's done all the time.

-The KZ2 engines strengths is in the lighting not the shadows, anybody who believe...
