The guy handed it to me and said this is the last copy. As I walked out, I saw the disc was missing. Thankfully he found it in the drawer. Luckily, no scratches. God this game is fun. I about had a heart attack at the dragon lair area. I lost about 6,000 souls when I decided to test running up the hill while the flying dragon was smoking the guys on the bridge. It worked the first time, and there is some good loot up there, but I got too greedy and he burnt me to a crisp. The second time, I c...
Do I like paying $50 a year for Live? Not really but the service is exactly what I want. When they added Netflix support, that alone paid for my Live subscription. Why? Because rather than buy a bunch of DVD's for my kid to play in my PS3 (which is my default DVD player since I rarely play games in it), he can watch WALL-E and Bob the Builder and Inspector Gadget, or anything he wants, on demand. It's cheaper than buying digital cable with on demand, so it's perfect for me. My wife loves the ...
He says at around 3.45 that they don't show an ending in the demo but that one of the endings is Shepard dying. So they just have concept footage that won't be in the game?
I think to me it is going to come down to the Joker for PS3. I too played both demos, switching between systems during game play. The only differences I could see were that the 360 has more contrast, Batman's gloves and face have that shiny plastic look and the aa is better on thin geometry. The PS3 version does seem a bit darker with default settings but I increased the brightness which looked fine then. The skin on the PS3 models (especially B Man) look better than on the 360 but the AA isn...
I've never noticed any lag pulling up the dashboard after first turning it on, it's when you're in multiplayer and going through the menus that's pretty slow. When you want to mute the buzzing microphone or the crazy screamer/singer, it can take a bit of time.
I just can't help but wonder if the screen is better than the current PSP. I seem to remember a lot of people complaining about the current PSP having its screen changed at one point and because of that, it didn't look nearly as good as the older PSP models. I don't have one so I can't really comment on that. That said, because the screen is smaller in the PSP Go, it's a new manufactured part and maybe the graphics look better on it. Just a thought.
I have it preordered but I'm not going to rush down to the game store on this one. I just don't see the point of having a review embargo on a game unless it's a stinker. IGN says they will review it by 9:00 am tomorrow once the embargo has lifted. I did like Hulk UD on Xbox but always wanted to play a high res version (the 720 was a bit blurry on HD). Perhaps this will fit the bill nicely. Just hoping the story is half way decent.
I'm a little suspicious of this comment about multiplayer as time and again the developer said they were focusing on the single player experience and didn't have any plans for multiplayer. Are you sure you played multiplayer on this title? I haven't seen anything on a mutiplayer component for this game.
Why would Sony drop the price if they really had a slim version? This article makes it sound like if a slim comes out, a price cut will be part of the deal. Look at the PSP Go. There was another article on this site where it was explained that the PSP Go was being released at a relatively high price because it was being marketed to the early adopters. This will probably be no different.
The director is the same guy who did Pirates of the Caribbean 3.
While my PS3 is indeed in a cabinet, it sits on a shelf all by itself with both doors open. It has about 15" of open air on both sides and the back. Some people try to be helpful and recommend relocating it (Raptors, for example), which I say thank-you for the suggestion, perhaps I'll try it. To those who think electronics should be their masters and the users the slaves, good luck to you! It's funny how my Bravia TV, Comcast box, stereo and DVD player require no such pampering. Their ma...
I have a PS3, and enjoy the quality of Blu-ray but it is really irritating when the fan kicks on. While we were watching Sunshine, my wife asked me "What's that noise" part way through the film. For a game, the fan is acceptable but for movies it can really by annoying. Just out of curiosity, does anyone have a Blu-ray player that isn't a PS3? Do dedicated players need fans too or are they like DVD players and run silent?
I think Darkness will be an exception to the suck rule. The developer responsible for the Darkness is the same who worked on Chronicles of Riddick, and that was a good game.
The Elite will be out on a limited basis fairly soon and the technology it incorporates will be in the Premium 360 in August (presumably with a price cut) when the Elite is no longer available. This is what I've gathered from reading the forum posts so I don't have any confirmation web pages for you.
I didn't see Lair in that list anywhere.
Original posting was updated at bottom of article. I was really looking forward to playing this on my PS3 but now I'm worried that it will look fairly pixelated. The only reason I got the PS2 was because of the original GOW, when I had an SD television. Hopefully it will look okay on an HD monitor via PS3.
Unless I misunderstood, it sounds like you are accessing the internet to get to your PC content. If that's how it works, I don't like that idea. Using a wireless router with the 360 is good way to get movies/pictures/music from your PC to TV but I would really distrust anything like this where I had to go through their website to access my PC stuff for my PS3. This smells like a spyware tactic.
Seriously, how many of you bought a disc drive that plays +R and -R discs? If that worked out just fine than why can't we have two HD formats? I think it breeds competition and puts more pressure on the manufacturers. Saying we need only one disc format is like saying we only need 1 game disc type that can play in all the consoles (which will never happen).
Wait until someone with deep pockets, like Microsoft, decides to recoup legal fees if Jack pushes too hard. $500,000 might make him think twice about all these attacks. I think that is the average going rate for all these states that have to pay the ESA who is fighting game legislation.
I went through the first couple of hours using a temple knight and had no problems. A little later, I fought that blob boss with a magician and got my butt handed to me. The second time I went in there, I found it was much easier when I weaved around the columns and used them as cover while I replenished health, applied turpentine and gobbled up some magic juice.
