Glad to know Rage can Handle a game on PS3 with only a 600mb install, means Agent will definitely be able to take advantage of disk space.
I don't think there's been any direct captures of the PS3 version yet, The Sub-HD is mostly based on assumptions about the RAGE engine and GTAIV - it does make sense, but we don't have proof yet of any of it, they may be closer than we think by now to matching visuals.
How big is the hideout?? is it like a whole other town or what..? If it's a little shack then who knows which is better.
yea i was thinking maybe they're pushing for a release day patch to help get the PS3 version optimized..
I have a feeling lots of Natal Projects might be Multiplat with PSeye..
I was thinking the same thing... Although Final Fantasy XIII did buck the trend. A few ps3 exclusives here and there lacked it that I have are: Afrika, Valkyria, haze, hotshots golf, and not to forget MGS4. I really dislike white background and B&W instructions - part of the whole hobby is collecting them, and you want something that's nice to look at.
I'm surprised no one mentioned Rag-doll kung-fu, seems that game got swept under the rug. Although there's no Sony game characters in it, it's a lot like smash brothers.
Hopefully it will be right after Rockstar shows off Agent at Sony's conference. As a welcomed surprise.
"As for the breakdown of those figures, in the US $15 billion was spent on console games in 2009, $4 billion on PC games"
I get the impression (i might be wrong) like atleast 1 billion of that came from WoW.. I think the thing is with consoles you don't have to be top dog to make it. You can still make a lot of money on PC, you just have to be great.
I loved the Co-op in WaW, though they need to do a lot better job at telling a story, those computerized loading screens are a joke. I'll definitely be getting it, as its a game most of my friends get, and it gives me something to play co op.
You have to wonder if having Rockstar North develop Agent on PS3, will lure them into a situation where they know just how much having the disk space and exclusivity can do for a game. The type of thing where they'd feel very uncomfortable backtracking with GTAV; you know they don't really want GTAV being inferior or limited compared to Agent if it comes out after.
Hard drive streaming and Lots of disk space does suit an open world game very well. The console is practically made for Rockstar games, Sony may have even designed it that way to help lure rockstar to their side.
They make a 360 version, and console parity will ruin the game, developing for the lowest common denominator. Plus multidisk is hard to work in an open world game, unless you want to bottle neck it into different sections that can fit into 6gb - rather than have one...
It's more about the people that work there, they probably have a lot more say than you'd think. Selling to Sony means Financial Stability, and a much better chance at their Job/livelihood still being there without having to move 10 years down the road. Keep in mind if they wanted to do LBP 2, they'd have to have Sony 'let' them make it anyway, which means taking less share of what it makes.
Well Insomniac has never made anything multiplatform, they only make PlayStation games.. On the other hand Epic does, and that would give most people reason to believe that gears' exclusivity was paid for in full - and not the same kind of working-relationship insomniac has with sony. That being said I'm sure Sony pays something to keep insomniac exclusive, it just might not be as much.
This is what PSBlog had to say about the PSHome unlockables in RDR:
"Red Dead Redemption (available for the PS3 on May 18th) will unlock exclusive outfits for your avatar upon reaching in-game milestones."
There's no mention of a 'hideout,' so it seems this is ingame content rather than PSHome stuff, although you could be right.
You have to wonder if the home stuff was also part of Sony's deal with R*/taketwo.. and y...

He only reviews 360 games, only has a 360 and he's a huge fan of the console - take with that as you may regarding the score.
I'm getting pretty sick of these western rpg devs and their 'war' against JRPGs, the guys making JRPGS aren't fighting back nor do they have any intention of bashing WRPGS.
Yet the Houser brothers still want more disk space, who has more sway we'll see.
helped fund agent and RDR combined you mean.
Yea the picture was obviously a tube tv looking at the sides, then you could tell the jaggies were so bad they were worse than 640p..
