Its how microsoft cemented their place at the top in terms of windows, they're hoping they can do the same in the games industry. Sony, and Nintendo have been around long enough to know that won't work for long, hence the reason both companies have first party studios that make fantastic games.
I'm not saying Microsoft's first party's don't make good games, but that they don't have enough that are under full control, and the money they've been throwing at third parties could of k...
I had crysis warhead running the other day at over 1.1gb of video memory being used, that is excluding system RAM. That kind of puts it into perspective of to how much that game demanded hardware wise.
"What would Sony say if asked how there can be more PSN accounts than PS3 consoles? Probably no comment. "
They would say the 50million PSP's out there all have the ability to create PSN accounts right from their PSP.
PSN is on the PSP, so counting the PSP PSN accounts is hardly sneaky..
<3 opening up the dev console and spawning hundreds of zombies (normal max is 30 alive at once), and 20 tanks. Then dropping 20 pipe bombs on the spot i'm hovering over (since they're all under me).
Good good..
You speak as if Mass effect 2 has some crazy requirements, when it doesn't... the game handles absolutely anything i throw at it and the FPS never changes, always locked at 60fps - even when i'm forcing 16x AA (32x samples).
Runs extremely well on PC.
This XBOX 360 website spends too much time focusing on other platforms. Fair enough, making references to other games and platforms is fine, but making whole topics and features about them is going a bit far for a site dedicated to one platform.
Mac? I'd never buy a mac, i'm sorry. Try again. Either way, something needs to be done, because there is little excuse for the terrible performance of the system in comparison to linux.
"the terrible data management and this virtualised type method microsoft use to handle users needs to go"
Two reasons right there. Though, me just saying it needs to be MORE UNIX LIKE explains it perfectly well, i didn't write windows so i don't know the specific problems th...
Its wayyyyyyyyy too general to give specific reasons. But the instability in absolutely everything it does, the terrible data management and this virtualised type method microsoft use to handle users needs to go, unix systems do fine without and run extremely well with loads of users running at the same time.
Like i said, its as simple as that, the core system needs completely re-writing to be more unix like, because that will help solve all the others. It isn't as easy as giving...
Oh come on, the whole system is broken in comparison to other operating systems. Unfortunately, as i'm always gaming on my PC i'm forced to use windows.
The basic core system needs re-writing to be more unix like.
Good. It has needed it for years, its funny, because while windows 7 was an improvement - it is still windows and carries the basic problems it has.
The PC version probably sold the most, simply because of all the hype it got in the PC community.
RPG = Role Playing Game.
You play the role of commander shepard, you make his decisions, you build his personality, you build his combat style, you decisions as the character effect those around him.
If anything, Mass effect breaks away from the stupid formula that has kind of dominated the RPG genre for the last 10 years. It is about playing the role of character, just because many RPG's have implemented all these millions of skills, loot and other stuff into their ...
That could be pretty amazing.. I've always said that there is a very good story behind halo, it just is never shown in the games, which is a great shame.
Bioware could explore that massive universe and tell a fantastic story with it.
I'd rather them continue with Mass effect and Dragon age, but still, the possibility of them doing it could be pretty exciting.
The PC Version is easily > the 360 version.
Solid 60fps at all times, maxed settings, better AA, higher resolution, better texture quality, better controls, better everything!
Cause it is better! :D
Motorstorm: Pacific rift....................... !!
If it does, then it is a learning point. Stop trying to discourage developers who want to explore the possibilities of the medium, or you and every other monkey with a blog will be the downfall of this industry.
Yep, and i bet if you asked him about PS3 developers he would have respect for them for being able to put out such good games on the "terribly designed hardware" as he said.
