I still can't believe no one is noticing that all Halo Reach shots so far have fog.Visibility is about 20 feet then fog.Let me guess it's just atmospheric?I think it looks loads better than previous Halos.It doesn't have lighting stolen from under a fast Ford from essex,but it does not look as good as Killzone.It looks flat.As for the pre alpha stuff does not really apply,because Bungie only show when their ready and I've never seen a Halo game improve much from first show to final build.
I'm surprised no one commented on the fog.I have the Edge mag with these screens and the draw distance is very short on all shots.A fog descends.I still think 360 only owners are desperate for their games to match PS3 technically.There are some great games on 360 but there is a gap technically in favour on PS3.
I've got the mag.Reach looks a lot better than Halo 3 but falls short of the best PS3 stuff.As for this pre alpha stuff,point me in the direction of a game Bungie showed that improved much upon release.They show games when they are ready to and it's usually close to final look.What God of War or GT5 have to do with any of this I don't know.
Halo fans would love it if it looked like Doom,and us non Halo fans wouldn't love it,even if it looked like Killzone 2.
I'm not going to comment on the comparison.I'm just going to say how amazed I am at the level of ignorance in the comments.It seems that about 60% of the people commenting have read nothing about the games or watched any videos.If you don't know then don't make comments like you do.
Heavy Rain is not just QTEs.
Alan Wake was a long way in development fro PC.MS stopped it,for now.
The first video of Alan Wake was the PC build and all the early screenshots too,this has been ad...
I think Natal will be more successful because people are mugs.Look at the Wii.It's the worst console I've ever owned by far and the fastest selling ever.MS already have a large chunk of media in their pocket and the US think it's all new ideas because SCEA didn't like SCEEs Eyetoy on PS2 and it didn't make any impact there.It sold over 1.5 million in EU.
Sony have again done a terrible job so far in terms of hype for Arc,whereas MS have created hype despite really poor tech demos and no...
I actually prefer this art style to the day glow,bottom of a fast ford green/purple of normal Halo but this does not match Killzone.I have the mag and you will notice it looks bland and lacking detail compared to KZ.The lighting looks much better than Halo3 but still looks flat compared to KZ and if you look only the area you are in is visible.Soon as you look to middle/far distance a fog descends and not in a good atmospheric way.I don't like Halo but I understand people do and I'm not rubb...
I'm sorry but the old build stuff doesn't work well.The way Bungie have always shown games I've never seen much in the way of change from beta to final product.People have a right to criticise the graphics after the trailer and hype that followed ,with many claiming they had suddenly found hidden 360 power(despite its supposed ease to program and good tools)and that they can still rival PS3.The fact is that these screens basically prove what PS3 fans believe,that PS3 IS more powerful,and if i...
360s line up is much better than 09 but will again fall well short of PS3 in terms of quantity and quality(technical).Whatever you like buy,but anyone who only owns one console will definitely miss out on something good either way.The problem I have with 360 is that it always seems to be line ups for teenage boys and I like a bit of a broader spread.
I'm gonna try and stay out of fanboy territory here but....I'll say I'm not a Halo fan,never have been.I own all 3 systems and I do PREFER my PS3 by a margin.After seeing the video I nearly believed they'd found some extra 360 power magically hidden but this looks like the truth.The graphics look better than the weak,even at the time,Halo 3 BUT they are still a long way short of KZ,UC2,GOW3,Heavy Rain.I think this year will basically prove what many of us knew(despite what some devs claim),th...
Eyetoy on Ps2?
Pseye on Ps3?
You need to go and look at Splinter Cell again if you think it's even near Uncharted.The animations,textures and unsubtle lighting are quite a way behind.I own both systems since launch and what you are saying is not true.I've spent loads of time with UC2 and KZ and the fact is they look a lot better than anything on 360.People hold up Gears as such a power house but it's actually an art style triumph over tech.Going back to Gears 1 vs Resistance 1 everyone said how R1 was nowhere near Gears ...
Natal will work in the dark but with standard one person lag at 200 ms plus the normal 100ms lag on a 30fps game,my question is more will it be good enough at all?I think it's a lot of hype and many of the die hard 360 MS mugs will buy into whatever their told.
Actually the only success in consoles this gen in Ninty.Why?because success can only be measured in profit and MS need to re coup something like 9 billion dollars before they are successful in any way.Sony have 4 billion to make up although 2 hugely successful generations for them has been a success.MS have had no success yet.
Not a good article.They cooked the results by giving draws on Dragon Age and Darksiders.You may say that PS3 has better textures and 360 better framerate on Dragon Age and that's a draw but the framerate dips on PS3 in places and the texture difference is huge.360 is a blurry mess.Darksiders the 360 version is not as sharp and has twice the screen tears.
The thing people forget about GT is that it's a game that goes well beyond the hardcore.It's not just gamers who buy it but very casual gamers who are car fans.This is the car fans game of choice and has been for years.Forza is a game fans car game and I don't know anyone who bought it.I know of 5 people who buy less than 5 games a year who will buy and play GT to death.Games reviewers often underestimate or simply don't understand why the car fan element is important.How many reviews will me...
The best thing about Natal for me,is the fact that people who are excited about it don't know why.Ask the question"what have seen or concepts can you come up with that excite you about Natal"?The answer will be urrr? or I can control my menus without a remote!(in no doubt fiddly and pointless way).See Singstar voice control for reference.Fun for 3 minutes,then turned off to never be used again.
We like pads with lots of buttons and that's only a learning curve to people who do...
I have a Sony preference because I like the games.Didn't like sim racing games GT changed that.Love Twisted Metal 2 World Tour co op.Love Team ICO and Uncharted 1 and 2.It's the games but also how they approach games with new ideas and Sony are the least risk adverse game publisher.Do you believe either of the other companies would back Heavy Rain or give Team ICO such resources despite limited commercial success.Nintendo make some good games but I've never liked the kiddy art or been nostalg...
I'm not a motion fan but the Eyetoy/Wand combo is so obviously the most game friendly solution.As for support,it will get many Wii ports due to it's similarity,maybe even games developed for both.The other big thing that people forget is that while MS is claiming first party support,they have a tiny dev resource.Sonys dev resources are larger than MS and Nintendo put together.I think it works out at about 23 devs(from my shaky memory)and Sony have experience of making party games and motion b...
Mag is going to struggle to get people to buy Mag,let alone a PS3.I've had PS3 since launch(and 360)and it's by far my favourite of the 3 systems but Mag just didn't hook me and I'm Warhawk/Killzone fan.God of War 3 and GT5 are the system sellers this year.Maybe Heavy Rain might sell a few just because it's different.
Does not match PS3.Believe what you want but this does not match Killzone,UC2,GT5,Heavy Rain or GOW3 for visuals.I know 360 fans are desperate for that,but please stop believing.Enjoy the game for what it is to fans of the series.The best game they can play.
I don't understand why 360 owners can't be happy with their lot.PS2 owners accepted that Xbox 1 was more powerful.360 has many good games due this year but it just will not technically match the best PS3 games,that is no reflection ...
