I did notice significant slowdown on the 360 demo though. So unless the retail version fixed that it looks like both consoles have issues.
As much as I hate ea, I will admit madden 08 for the 360 is a great game.
Ugh, I'd rather just get no update than one this bad.
anyone know what the update will feature once we actually do get it?
I'm still waiting for any news on a next gen syphon filter to make up for all the horrible sequels. The first one on the ps1 was so f'ing awesome.
kotor 2 was a huge let down for me. I LOVED the first and couldn't wait for the next one. But other than dmc2 I don't think I've ever been more let down by a sequel. The first kotor felt completely fresh and new, kotor2 was more like a mediocre expansion pack than a whole new experience. The main plot was much better in kotor1, and the subplots and side quests were far far superior. kotor2 did have that one interesting character in that old woman, and it was a cool gameplay mechanic to have t...
nasim is that you?
Its much better w/o blood imo, I'm glad they're leaving it out again.
Can't wait for the movie. The game.. not so much.
I'd recommend getting it now. The newer xboxes are higher quality. I picked up one of the newer hdmi boxes in august after the price drop and I'm loving it. It actually runs cooler than my ps3 too. I don't play for more than 1-2 hours at a time though so I can't say for extended play, but it seems pretty reliable. The games are awesome too. Btween bioshock, gears, halo and mass effect this nov it should be well worth the money.
The odds of both these games comming out next are are slim to none.. and I think slim just left.
ps3 is getting all of ms's coveted exclusives? Really? Then post a link to when the gears of war, bioshock and halo 3 ports are scheduled for lol.
dmc is still a great game. thats just what happens when you get spoiled by next gen, 99% of last gen's games look horrible. I threw in gta san andreas in my ps3 the other day and wow did it look bad. The only ps2 games i've played on my ps3 that still looked great were god of war and ffxii, both were late in the ps2's life also and maxed out the system's specs. dmc was pretty early on in the ps2's life, so of course the graphics won't stand up by today's standards.
I'd love to do one of these comparison posts, but post two identical pics from the same console and say one was from ps3 and one was from 360. I'd bet good money that even with identical screenshots you've have fanboys in the comments saying one pic clearly looked better than the other, and that the textures were better for their console's screenshot.
Yea if I would have known about this bundle/price a year ago I would have just waited. The only ps3 exclusive I've really enjoyed so far was resistance. Blu ray has been great though, so I guess theres that and I'm still glad I have my ps3 for upcomming games, but kind of wish i'd waited too.
I doubt any parent is seriously going to be choosing between two $400 devices for their kid without actually knowing which one the kid wants first before buying. $400 isn't really that much money, but its still high enough of a price to put some real thought into it and not just wander into the store and pick whatever you "guess" your kid would want.
are you kidding me? doom 3 and resident evil 4 are in another class. Both are waaaay better than dead rising.
I've played through the whole thing on heroic and am about halfway through a replay on legendary, so the "play it on a harder level" thing doesn't apply. For starters the friendly ai is atrocious, on any level. The ai for the enemies can be really good at times but its wildly inconsistent. They use grenedes really well, and don't run right out at you everytime like some games, but they have a tendency to cluster together for easy grenade frags. Also, whats with the dumb ai tendency...
This game is a perfect match for the wii. Using the brushstrokes with motion control sounds like it'll add even more fun to an already great title. I don't own one but it'll be a great day for wii owners if they get this port done right.
Yea thats the part of the review that stuck out to me the most. The evasive moves and freerunning seemed like the best part of the game in the previews. Making all that automatic seems pretty lame to me. Like the devs couldn't find a way to do all the things they wanted to and just put in a bunch of canned animations instead of a solid control scheme. Could you imagine playing prince of persia if all the moves were automatic? It'd take most of the fun/challege out of the game for sure.
