It was never "advertised" as a gears of war type game. It was the gaming community that made this comparison. Stupid as it was.
RAD were very clear from the beginning that this would be a linear, heavily story driven "cinematic" experience. If fact for the entire development process they were constantly using the word "cinematic" in press releases defending their choice to keep the black bars and the 30fps lock.
IMO they deliver...
Bha! I've been playing all afternoon. IMO it's a great linear, story driven, cinematic spectacle. Exactly what the devs promised.
Seriously don't understand the hate. I am loving every minute of this game, and it's being torn to shreds. While I hated every minute of the latest COD (couldn't even finish the woeful campaign) but it gets praised. Go figure.
Don't get me wrong. It's not a masterpiece. But I'd give it a solid 8/10...
Just because some clown rushed through a game, on it's easiest setting, without taking the time to explore and savoir the experience means absolutely nothing.
It will more realistically take 10-12 hrs on a challenging difficulty level without rushing it. And that IMO is spot on.
My biggest complaint. It doesn't feel like a cops vs robbers game at all. Take away the cop skins and replace the loot case with a flag. You basically got a generic half assed capture the flag mode.
There is zero real strategy involved with any of the modes. And watching what should be highly trained swat operatives running around firing from the hip and launching rpg's is just sad and pathetic.
This is an insult to police officers and professional c...
But the videos we've been watching might be of builds several months or more old.
Hell up until just recently sites were still rehashing the same vids of 12months+ old build of "The Order". And using it to bash the game.
Almost all PS4 first party exclusives get visual upgrades and improvements as they get closer to release. Just look at The Order, Drive club, Infamous, KZ SF and others. The final builds eclipsed the early footage shown.
Dying Light does not run identical on consoles. There is a clear performance advantage to the PS4, not to mention the slight resolution advantage.
I do see your point though. If a games is really fun you tend not to notice the graphical flaws.
Metroid Prime ftw!
I love my Z2. Easily the best phone I've ever owned. Hardware and build quality are class leading.
It's the only phone I've ever owned that I have zero desire to upgrade. I can seriously see myself sticking with my Z2 for another 18months at least.
Well word on the street (digal foundry's face off should drop shortly) is that the Beta is still only 900p PS4 and 720p Xbox1 (basically exactly the same as BF4).
This may change for the final release, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Go read the Digital Foundry article if you want the truth, instead of click bait POS articles written by hacks.
Clear win for the PS4. In fact the only real issue with the PS4 version is that it sometime runs at too HIGH a framerate and that causes slight judder lol. Not often you can say that!
Played last night on PS4. Aliasing is shocking on the bank heist level.
But as bad as it is on the PS4, it's way worse on Xbox1. Have they confirmed 900p on PS4 and 720p on Xbox1 yet? Because if my experience last night and that vid is any indication, I'd totally believe those woeful resolutions.
How can they not have improved the engine at all in more than 12months! Lazy ass devs. I was expecting at least 1080p PS4 and 900p for the Xbox1.

So essentially what SONY and MS did last gen with the PS3 and x360.
Didn't work out real well though did it? Neither console was very profitable, and both companies stretched out the life of the consoles way past a time when they were positively archaic.
This current Gen won't last nearly as long thankfully. Due to not selling at a loss and much smaller R&D budgets, we will see a PS5/XboxNext in 5yrs minimum.
Proof or it didn't happen! Whay a crock of shit, click bait article!
Problem being, if they made them more powerful, then they would have been more expensive.
I think one of the reasons both the PS4 and the Xbox1 have had such success sales wise, is that they released at an excellent price point. The PS3 in particular was horrendously expensive at launch.
Yes it would have been nice for a little more grunt under the hood. But honestly, bang for buck, I think the PS4 (and to a lesser extent the Xbox1) offer great value.
I would be completely happy if UC4 achieved the same framerate performance as TLOUR.
I know it's not 100% locked 60fps. But it still feels silky smooth and the minor dips go completely unnoticed IMO. It feels immeasurably better than even locked 30fps.
I can play TLOUR for hours with zero eye fatigue. More than 90-120min of locked 30fps and I need to have a break. I find it really hard work. The brain (mine at least) is much happier with 60fps.
1080/60p on PS4 vs .... the alternative.
If you are not a PC gamer. PS4 will offer the experience.
I hope they move towards a more destructible environment. Certain elements of JC2 were destructive. But being able to blast a hole in the side of a skyscraper would be insanely cool.
Hell even being able to crash a car into a house at terminal velocity and have the house torn in half would blow my mind.
Thanks for the info. Kinda looking forward to giving this a go when the beta drops. Hopefully hardline attracts more players looking to try the "defuse" type game modes.
This clown clearly doesn't know how to optimize a game. It's called the options menu dude. Try adjusting some of the sliders ffs.
Seriously though. Click bait trash article. Don't give him the click.
I played a few hrs last night. Was an absolute blast. I can't wait to sit down tonight and progress further into the story. Haters gunna hate. But just ignore those clowns who are missing out and enjoy this great game.
