But for sure, if he was half decent, he was truly needed. There's almost NO advertisement for the Playstation in Canada. Not sure how it was in other countries, but I didn't saw ONE killzone advertisement yet. So last thing they need is definitively loosing good PR guys. After all, if we don't get anything from tv, we definitively need some from the web.
And I'm always amazed by the fact that the hardware on both consoles is so diferent, yet, they have to zoom the picture (which we cannot do ourselves) to see the difference, or use expensive equipment to mesure a difference in frame rate.
Again, when you fly the plane, and your attention is on the opponent's plane, I don't think anybody will notice if AA is not there, or draw distance or frame rate is not the same. It does look awesome on both consoles. Kudo to Ubisoft.
...
@Ghost of Sparta: No matter how they are fixing the hardware today, those are little time bombs. This guy's xbox was quite likely bought before that. They didn't fix the one in the field. They have fixed (hopefully) all the new ones coming out of the factory or being refurbished as we speak.
On the other side, curiously, you would think they would have the customer support system in place to deal with that old problem by now. Hope he didn't had to press F5 for so long because t...
I'm not 100% sure but if you can press the trigger in less than 133ms, and fire a bullet, you win a prize!
Normal pressure on a REAL trigger could be anywhere from 1.2lbs to 4lbs (500gr to 2kg) of pressure. By the time your finger "compress", you already spent 133ms and you have not even pulled the triger yet! This is why Snipers use special kits with double stage triggers no?
And guess what, that's why real people get shot anyway... Nobody can dodge a bul...
Plus, it's easier to sell a hard copy of Warhawk if you ever get bored with it : ) (Nope, still have mine)... On the other side, it's kind of nice to have some small games you can just play quickly without having to stand up and switch disk...
Still the biggest problem right now seem to be that two out of the three consoles do not come with hard disks in all of them. It's hard to push digital distribution on consoles without hard drives and with huge file size restriction... ...
I've watched all the last wars, live, on CNN!!!
All the soldiers are running like chicken with no heads in the fields, jumping up and down, while carrying 50 pounds worth of gears, and doing only head shots while spinning 360 degree. Killzone is so far from reality. You have to duck and cover all the time. You don't get a headshot 99% of the time. You cannot shoot a weapon and stack 100 bullets in the SAME hole. Bad killzone, bad. LOL!
The controls are fine!
Particularly since in Canada, at least in my area, there was a Killzone "conspiration" (I'm kidding, I'm kidding! Yes, I've read the article)... So when I saw the title, I was sure it was about that!
My local walmart didn't had one Killzone until very late in the release day (one clerk told me they could not find them, even if they were showing in inventory... Guess they only got a very small box because when I came back at the end of the day, they only had a handfull...
Let see what a google search gives you for:
*"brutal legend" game* about 300 thousand web pages.
*"rhythm heaven" game* about 100 thousand web pages.
but something like:
*"heavy rain" game* with about 2 millions web pages doesn't make the list for most anticipated....
LOL
Another stupid blog comment getting approved... WHERE'S THE NEWS!!!! This is News 4 Gamers after all. Not "stupid blog comments 4 gamers". Please, think before you approve something that stupid.
Leave the bots, but remove rank points and class? If you want a good opponent, go online, it's been working fine for me too (though, I'm still trying to beat the game too and haven't played much online yet!)
Yes, sure enough, they still sell some of the games they made years ago. After all they made 94 games for it.
But the main reason why the are likely happy with those sales is the fact that development cost for new games made in the last few years is likely next to nothing. (I'm thinking around 100K-300K for most games) You can probably find PS2 programmers who know the PS2 inside out for a dime a dozen (figure of speech!). And all they have to do, is port multi-platform titles. (...
Bottom line is simple:
Activision made 51 games for the 360 which did bring in 361 millions. Average: 7 millions per game being generated.
The made 27 games for the PS3 which bring in 241 millions dollars. Average: 9 millions per game being generated.
Most of the 27 games made for the PS3 were also made for the 360, so cost of development was shared between both, meaning they also saved a load of money by doing the game for both platforms. On the other...
@Fermcr: "Good numbers also for the X360"
Activision made 51 games for the 360, which, no matter when they were made contributed to the bottom line this year (last year games sold this year, bring pure cash to the bottom line. Dev cost was amortized last year or the year before).
They only made 39 games for the Wii and generated way more revenue. (And only 27 games for the PS3, which did manage to generate a lot for only about half the same amount of games ...
When Activision sell one game for any console, the console maker gets a cut. But when they sell a game for a PC, whoever made the operating system is not getting a penny...
But now, I had to read the oppinion of somebody who's not getting the game because he has too many unfinished ones! Dang, everything get approved now on News 4 Gamers...
Next big news: Why I bought a slice of baloney instead of game X. I guess it's still better than someone going for: Why I kept the same underwear for one week? Very, very sad when you come here for news and you get stuff like that.
But to me, the best is still playing that way too short demo. Best smoke effect I ever saw. Picking up my game in 4 hours now...
This is an awesome analysis... But heck, the demo is now available in N.A. as well. Don't care about frame rate, aliasing, or anything else.
This game ROCKS. Very long 16 hours to go before I can get my hands on the full game now.
WOW
And since the demo is out, you would have tried it, and save the rental money for the game itself.
But you said the PS3 was slower than your other HD player. Again, since it's only lately that some bluray players are faster than the PS3, you have to admit that people had the right to find that strange.
Then, you came back to say a dvd player is faster! Wow. If your dvd player take 15 seconds to load a dvd, it's also broken : ) I bought a $39 one for the kid room that load twice as fast!
Now, back to the actual article (which explain why PS3 owners may get jump...
Only about 5% of the bluray players are faster than the PS3. These are only the most recent one. Any bluray player review you will read, that are a couple of months old always finish with "Well, it's kind of fast, but it's not as fast as our reference system, the PS3"...
Maybe your PS3 is defective?
You're so funny!
Yesterday, the same website, analysing Hawx, was a reference. You didn't say it was fake, but took it as the truth, nothing but the truth.

Amazingly, your message was 1.3
Today, it's fake! Make up your mind. If they say something for the 360 it's a great site, but if they say the anything against, it's fake?
Well, nah, yo...
