As crillyconlig stated, that is the issue. Outside of all the fan bashing from HALO haters, HALO 3: ODST is scoring high ratings no different than game that clearly have far more polish and I believe that is where the outcry stems from.
After our play-through of HALO 3: ODST I was quite interested in how the major review networks would review this game. Because the game industry is growing by leaps and bounds unfortunately sometimes corners are cut and due-processes get overlook...
Correct, Eurogamer Potugal exactly.
Not a bad list at all, some of the rankings are a bit questionable. I think R:FOM and R2 could possibly squeeze in there somewhere. FEAR and UT3 being placed higher than HALO 3 is very questionable. Also when you look at the total package of KILLZONE 2 it trumps Crysis. #1 should be a toss between COD:MW & KILLZONE 2 but regardless not a bad list at all.
An amazing list of boss battles indeed
So far, definitely!
Yes buy KILLZONE 2 immediately. But remember, this game is intense an feels different from other shooters in the sense that experiences like reloading will be real(no quick arcadey animations, it takes a little time)in the middle of intense shooting and taking cover on harder difficulties will be mandatory. This is a hardcore shooter at it's best.
Great List!
LOL!! That would be classic
Yes BIOSHOCK 2 is an acclaimed title but more importantly Take-Two understands the investment they have made with this title and they also know what they are going up against this holiday season. No one is denying the greatness of the BIOSHOCK franchise however, it is only common sense for a publisher to chose a release date that compliments more sales.
I am one of those people who loved the original game and had high expectations for this new title due to today's robust hardware.
I couldn't agree more. As many have stated before, the animations displayed in this 5 minute video are unbelievable. There was also a sequence in the video that displayed the reflection of the water shimmering on the wall while Drake was jumping from the bookcase due to the natural lighting that was being displayed on the water below - AMAZING!. All biases aside I must say that since KILLZONE 2 these PS3 exclusives have been making some rather bold statements.
Unfortunately there were people who were hating on inFAMOUS. Some people will diss a game just because it's an exclusive on a console not of their individual liking, regardless inFAMOUS looks to deliver a great experience. This game is a first day purchase for me.
Very Good Question?
It does make sense for Sony to take this approach. As much as it might seems like a minute issue, psychologically over time one logo (360) does overtly overshadow the other (PS3). If this is a regular occurrence with the new 'PS3' logo then it is a smart move by Sony.
Atari does have their work cut out for them. However, it appears Phil Harrison has been laying down the law trying to get things in order. Hopefully Atari can rebound from all in-house re-positioning and truly focus on developing and publishing some hits. I'm personally looking forward to the new Ghostbusters game.
Most defintely! A game for the ages in my book :-)
Very impressive indeed however, making comparisons to KILLZONE 2 is a bit pushing it. Please understand that you can never compare a full game to a game-engine presentation. What the developers do with this engine is where the rubber meets the road. AI, particle effects, FX sound etc.., once all these aspects of a game begin to take form in development that's when we see the strength of the hardware. It does seem like many are desperately hoping to find something on the 360 that can topple th...
Console gaming as we know could very well come to an end in the distant future. Think about it for a sec, first of all this concept financially caters to everyone with a decent internet connection(basically the whole world). This completely eliminates the fanboy fighting over which console is more capable, my network is better than yours scenarios. PS3 and 360 gamers could come together and battle it out ONLIVE(online). If more publisher jump on board exclusives would be a thing of the past. ...
I am truly amazed. We are definitely spoiled as gamers today, after seeing what can be done cross-platform with the CryEngine3, and id Tech 5's RAGE by id Software, it is crazy. Then of course you have the KILLZONE 2 engine which speaks for itself. I can't wait to see what other dev do with these properties. It is rumored that Syphon Filter for the PS3 is already set to utilize the KILLZONE 2 engine.
@ Obama,
You make a great point. When unknown sites give HALO 3:ODST a low score while all the major rating networks give it high marks, it does make you wonder, "Who should I believe?" Who really has an agenda to take my money and who is out to honestly and fairly give me a review based on today's top-notch gaming standards.
Despite all the so-called gaming networks giving reviews gamers need to take play it safe in situations like this and rent titles ...
