My only question with quite well rated early titles from a console's lifespan is whether or not they were genuinely very good, or simply higher scoring because there was no other benchmark set on that platform. I went back and played a little on GRAW, R6 Vegas (not really picking on you, ubisoft) but didnt feel the magic. GRAW's visuals especially and gameplay have dated quite considerably in my perspective, more than i ever remembered it.

Dead Rising? I recently pl...

The reason it is multiplatform is simply because crytek want more money, more recognition. As soon as the decision was taken, the game has been crafted to work on the consoles and not dedicated to a high end PC's capabilities. That much has pretty well been acknowledged by crytek.

This should mean that the game should look good by console standards, play well by console standards. If you only have a console, then you will probably buy this and enjoy it.

Course, but then i wasnt referring to any of them at all. All games that we already KNOW have been confirmed, and not kept a secret for E3. Last year the PSP Go saga prior to E3 was preposterous, not to mention the slim leak, months before reveal. Lets just hope that this isnt the crack in the dam for sony's E3 conference. I want surprises, and good ones....

Nah, it definitely has no vsync in this build. The original crysis when it is shown here also does not have vsync enabled, so dont read into it too much. Doesnt mean the final version wont have it, crytek have already targeted the performance of '30 frames and nothing below that', according to Cervat Yerli. If it means locked and vsynced, then console owners should be happy enough.

It will be a surprise if a game where the developers constantly willy wave their grap...

Sony have the leakiest games department! LOL I cant say its always a bad thing, but it ruins some of the surprise at the big shows when you already see shots of games before they are officially unveiled.

Definitely off screen captures surreptiously taken, and as already said possibly in a 3D mode owing to the offset pixels in motion and the interesting colour filters....

Parts of the gameplay spookily echoed the look of the FEAR 2 engine on the consoles, Certainly some of the enemy body armour, and some of the areas.

Its definitely the console version, just by comparison to the footage of the first crysis shown before. Dont get me wrong the graphics were good, but not mind blowing. The city just seems too plain to me. In the first crysis the setting added to the astonishment, knowing as i do how much more difficult it is to render organic e...

Wow. Talk about an anti Pc rant. Everyone should be able to recognise the benefits of console gaming. Hardware cost, relative simplicity and standardisation etc but should also realise the benefits of PC, namely cheap software and being on the cutting edge of gaming technology. Sure you could argue all day about 3D gaming, playing games on a HDTV, maintenance this and that, but all that is fuss and hot air. Pc is every bit as viable a platform for games as any console with strengths that for ...

You need an Iso rip of the wii game. Dolphin renders the game natively in the resolution you select, assuming you have the Pc to do it. So you can have native 1080P wii games...This isnt new, You can do it with Ps2 emulators, even N64 ones etc. Fancy goldeneye in 1080P someday on xbox live? You can have it NOW, with an emulator.

Nintendo could easily bring out a HD console with off the shelf parts, It would be a walk in the park to create a machine considerably more powerf...

I doubt it will be Pc exclusive. Deus ex 3 is multi, i dont see why this wouldnt be either. I dont see the news in this, i always saw it as a multi plat title ever since deus ex was confirmed as one

People are sometimes exceptionally harsh on crysis because of the way it looks. Criticising it as all looks, no substance.

These people have not played the game.

Its easy to see the visuals, and think thats just skin deep and dismiss it. Its reputation is built on its astounding visuals, but its not at the detriment to the core gameplay and story which is of very high quality too. This is a supermodel, but its not dumb. The zero G level is pretty clever, ...

Ati are in the ascendancy currently. Its always swings and roundabouts. Go back to when the Ati 9800 series pummeled the abysmal Geforce FX. Nvidia hit back with the mighty Geforce 6 series, leaping ahead with shader model 3, and carrying the lead into the early Geforce 7/X1800 bouts. Ati sprang back in a half generation with the X1900, edging out the 7900GTX.

Nvidia stunned the world, rocked ati with the 8800GTX. A massive leap over the X1900, ati scrabbled to catch up. Th...

Well to be fair that chart doesnt actually tell us how many it sold. It just sold enough to chart in tenth or eleventh? It seems these are the official mediacreate figures, and not famitsu's estimates:

Well if this chart is true, im guessing that means it is eleventh, having sold some number under 16 thousand from Death smiles.

Its simply good to know that lag will be almost impossible to detect. Two thirds of a single frame for most games on Ps3 running 30 FPS. It'll increase controller latency, but by a near undetectable amount. This also means it'll still be useful online where extra latency is factored in...

The title is a fail as soon as i read it. How can a third Gears game and a second killzone on this generation sell significant amounts of machines, to new buyers? Not likely....

Maybe if Killzone 3 incorporates move controls, but a third gears wont sell machines

Consoles cant even do DX10. Really though DX11 on will probably crush even the fastest card out now. Even in metro 2033 a 5870 struggles above 1680 x 1050. God forbid what will happen coupled with another cryengined game.

Still, even DX10 on Pc will look like a different game to what the console versions will look like. It'll be the biggest gap of any Pc/console multi title since half life 2 appeared on the original xbox after the Pc launch..

PS3 has 512mb.....256 system + 256 video, dedicated Buses. Video memory can also share system memory so RSX can theoretically access up to 480mb, albeit with a bandwidth penalty.

360's main memory is 512mb unified and a 10mb framebuffer, which means you can assign it in a proportion you desire. However you still have to assign a reasonably large portion for system usage for running games. That requirement doesnt disappear (you cant just use it all for video, where does ...

Seen the price in the uk. Unfortunately looks like another disaster here. Matches up to the 5830, which you can pick up for about 170 pounds. the cheapest i have yet seen a GTX465 is 240 pounds. It has basically priced itself against the 5850, whereupon it loses more often than not when it counts.

I expected Nvidia to clock these parts more aggressively than their bigger brethren as they have a significant amount of transistors disabled. However it hasnt happened, and so th...

Its always mind boggling to me how take two manage to post losses and we hear about it so often, when rockstar are basically a cash machine for them. We hear about how GTA 4 generates 500m dollars on day one, biggest ever entertainment launch, and then how this will easily end up selling 5m plus etc etc

Then take two will announce how poor they are and how much money they have lost.
