I would like them to use Santa Monica's MLAA, but from what I've heard the MLAA in that game took up several cores, Killzone is using the cores extensively there just may not be enough cycles left to pump out MLAA on top of it all. It will most likely be Quincux like KZ2, however the game will be designed for it to lessen the lapse of detail you see in multiplats. We can hope, but don't expect.
The fact all the review people are almost completely supported by the publishers who advertise on them, forces them into a position of giving out good reviews - or else they'll be shunned from information in the future, as well have no money to sell their magazine/website.
Movie reviewers are often from newspapers supported by non-movie advertisers.
It's just a sad fact of how corrupt our current games review system is - the fact it's on a 1-10 or...
I really think Sony should add one port on the back now with Move coming out, I'm sure most would prefer not to have to wrap the cord around for the pseye.
Doesn't even sound like a move game, sounds more like PSN game.
I think Natal might actually have them topped.
The devs of Metro 2033 actually admitted that they didn't have a PS3 version because of a 'Business decision' THQ made (microsoft paid for exclusivity). The game engine actually was designed to support the PS3 as well. There's a small chance we might be playing this game on PS3 a year from now.
I think the call of duty 4 comparisons were what killed confrontation more than anything else. Lots of people were hooked on that game and SC wasn't up to par graphically, it was very bare-bones - it took a long time to come around. Most likely S4 will stand up to the competition better when it comes out.
Bad thing is, confrontation was more like the Socom 2 remake we were hoping for. Confrontation didn't have the polish of S2 for its time, had only a few maps, and disappointed cause it was a different dev and lowbudget. I'm really hoping they'd port the old Socom maps from confrontation over to S4, but don't see it happening.
Socom 4 is a new direction they've stated it before. (It seems to have a cover system). I did like how MAG turned out so I am hopefu...
It did well on 360, but it's still possible a deal could be reached. Paying off the entire cost of 360 sales would be prohibitively expensive, but you don't know - they may find a middle ground and reach a deal. The need for disk space may be much greater than many of us imagine for houser's vision of GTAV - or it may not.
heck they did announce KZ3 and LBP2 already, I'm assuming they're clearing the show for something - they know we don't want to be disappointed. And wasn't there a rumor a lil while back that sony made a deal for a major game - they could be very threatened by natal, and what way to say, you go your way, we're sticking with the hardcore games fans like than GTAV exclusive.
GTAV with move controls, you know you want to beat that hooker down lol.
I would be personally shocked if MS didn't leak the news GTAV was exclusive to PS3 in some way before E3.. they'd have to know. So if we don't hear anything about it, then GTA gets announced, it will be multiplatform.
"especially from a studio whose multiplatform games have been known to favor the 360 on a technical level."
You do realize LA Noire is using a completely different engine, and being developed by team bondi, not inside Rockstar. Everything we've seen from rockstar this gen has been on RAGE, LA Noire doesn't use it.
Microsoft does care about the Entry cost though - and with Natal it's not really an accessory it's more of a whole new platform as far as I can tell.
Exactly what I was thinking, probably not to test the waters so much, but as to make people have a positive reaction to the $90-100 - You'd have to admit before the $150 thing leaked out $99 would have instantly been labeled 'too much' by most people. You can bet the bundled arcade version will be $199-$250 range as well. Only fitting Edge-online did one of the leaks, if this is indeed the case we will have a smoking gun that they do have affiliations with MS.
I always thought the cursing really fit the situation, helped the authenticity of what was going on, the game is rated M; I really don't understand the sentative types hating on Rico so much, it's often people that don't like the PS3 that make stupid nit-picky comments like that.
Edge is proven to be pro-MS in their reviews, am I the only one thinking MS is making up this rumor to give Natal a huge boost come E3 - when it's announced for cheaper, or at least get people comfortable with a $99 price tag..??
I'm pretty sure there's no way to 'win' E3. It's just a bunch of announcements, completely subjective to what is best. Or perhaps who's sponsoring G4.
Announcing an announcement that will announce the maps, that will probably later have the date announced.
I want to know if we'll see jungles and places along the lines of Avatar in KZ3, we've only seen the snow level so far. Avatar wasn't the best movie, but the art direction was well done that's for sure.
PS3 is the console that has shortages all over the US, I'd think if anyone was going to upstage and release this month it'd be Sony, if MS does it'd be a reaction to Sony.
