We can only hope Killzone 2 is able to live up to the Halo games in AI:

I think Eurogamer is the only site still going with full bore trashing of PS3 exclusives.

1Up has gotten better after the worlds most pathetic Xbox/Halo/Gears of War fan Dan Hsu was fired, but there are still quite a few hardcore Xbox fans there as it use to be a place to get hired away to Microsoft.

Gamespot has gotten much better after the hardcore Halo fan Gerstmann got fired.

If you are a Xbox fan at a gaming site your goal is to get your review tras...

It is a sickening blog posts from diehard Xbox fans scared out of their minds over Killzone 2 that makes you think of what an incredible console generation this would be if there were no 360 this gen.

You don't see Sony/Playstation fans writing blogs, getting jobs at review sites so they can rubbish Nintendo Wii games, you don't see Sony fans making fake sales sites like vgchartz to inflate PS3 sales and undercount Wii sales.

And you don't see Nintendo/Wii fans from ...

"your basically saying the game looks great but plays horribly beyond belief"

That is the standard Xbox fan Killzone 2 meme that gets posted every single day in every Killzone 2 thread.

I guess it is an attempt to say hey look if I say nice things about the graphics I can go right ahead an rip apart the game and I will still appear balanced.

I don't know why Xbox fans are so damn scared of this game that they feel the need to put so much effort...

This is the amazing stuff Nintendo should be doing. I can't help but picture Super Mario done with this engine.

Not that absolute fiasco WiiMusic.

Making stuff shiny is very cheap to render. There are still quite a few Xbox fans who think 'bright lights on shiny surfaces' is the Holy Grail of computer graphics. They seem absolutely obsessed with those closeup shots of metal armor or face masks with massively bright lights reflecting off them.

So UE3 with its 'everything covered in plastic' feel is the perfect match 360 fans and why it just looks like just an outdated engine to PS3 and PC gamers. Real life isn't covered in p...

"when UTIII came out on ps3, i definitely liked it but it wasn't breathtaking"

That is the problem Epic has with the UE3 based Gears of War 2. They got away with putting out nothing but the fake bullshots for their game because the gaming press really wanted something to get rid of the Xbox 1.5 label.

Now that everyone has seen just how mediocre UE3 actually is in realtime and not marketing shots Gears of War 2 actually ends up looking like a massive downgr...

The reason UE3 is so popular with 360 developers is it pretty much only good for putting out those silly marketing shots because of its overuse of normal maps everywhere.

UE3 one trick is basically uses normal maps to simulate geometric detail with texture level effects. You take a very high poly mesh and then massively reduce as much detail as you can down onto the flat texture surfaces. So 360 usually end up using very high detail versions of their characters and world in the f...

Sony first party developer lineup is enormous and is spread out over many game shows.

The largest one beside E3 is Tokyo Game Show, but there is also Leipzig, and there should be at least one major Sony PS3 show this year.

Sony at E3 had:

MAG from the Zipper/SOCOM guys with the insane 256 person online revelead.
inFamous from Sucker Punch/Sly Cooper guys
Fat Princess
The amazing Killzone 2 online details
Motorstorm 2

...

Thrill?

The most thrilling moment for Microsoft at E3 was that they had to pay enormous amounts of cash just to get a port of a game that will come out first on the PS3 six months to a year earlier and won't arrive on the 360 for another two years?

No wonder the 360 is tanking in sales everywhere.

Yeah. Why did someone even bother to post this? If people want worthless crap like this list they can go to teamxbox.com.

Poor Kotaku, they really are bitter over MGS4 never coming to their 360s.

50 dollars a year for laggy P2P networking?

Are you joking?

No PS3 owner would put up with a garbage online system like Microsoft's pay for laggy P2P gaming.

"I got through it though"

Exactly how I would describe my play through. Dreadfully mediocre game.

There is really two classes of Halo hate:

PC fps fan hate for what would otherwise be a completely forgettable fps if it had to compete in the PC games market.

General gamer hate for having this damn series rammed down everyone's throats night and day by Microsoft's marketing department. I remember people screaming "not another Ha...
