I'd prefer it if valve didn't waste their resources on the ps3. Infact, it would great if they would just develope solely for PC.
They will hold out until next gen which could be as soon as 2 years away. There is no point this far into the console cycle to make a 360 compatible with blu-ray. It is not an absolute when there is still a second/third disc option for developers. I too don't begrudge them for it, I agree with your second paragraph.
how much are these royalties? What is the legal obligation to it? I'm genuinely interested to know.
If we are going by these harsh standards no game this gen has innovated, the last game to do so probably being HL2. If you want to look at progression as innovation then plenty of games this gen have broke the mold e.g. Gears of War, LBP, Uncharted, Killzone2, MGS4 and Heavy Rain all for various reasons.
I seem to remember EA and Ubisoft reporting higher profits on the ps3 than the 360. Where's darkride when you need him...
The previews suggests that both versions are pretty similar apart from the cutscenes where the ps3 version is slightly improved. The problem is, if this is true then why would they even bother with the fake screenshots?
Killzone2 was basically just Black 2 anyway. Guerrilla took a lot of ideas from that game e.g. death animations, weapon design, level design. In particular, the sniper section in each game was strikingly similar.
I wish they'd start putting Halo games on PC again. Halo CE was so good for PC. Reach would be amazing on PC as well.
Braid came to PSN, that's good enough for me. One of the best games ever made in my book.
I think I actually prefer the Uncharted series to Crash Bandicoot. That is saying a lot since I grew up with Crash.
not that i really care but here http://www.n4g.com/industry...
How is the ps3 version 'gimped' when the two versions are running on different engines. It also uses 3 discs on the 360 therefore there is no obvious reason why anything would have been dropped from the ps3 version. They even say that the cutscenes are superior on ps3.
Genesis 19:6-8
Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him and said, "No, my
friends. Don't do this wicked thing. Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don't do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof."
Numbers 31:17-18
Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for you...
I agree with you there. Halo CE would make my top 5 shooters but Halo2 and 3 even though still very good didn't quite capture the brilliance as well as the first. Reach looks fantastic from what we've seen.
I'm not really that bothered about this game anymore to be honest. I would probably have bought it eventually had it come out for PC but there are just so many more games I'd buy before it.
Even though Heavy Rain is a love/hate game, we always knew that Edge would hate it :)
7/10 is still a good score by Edge ps3 standards though. That's a 8.5/9 for most other sites.
It clearly doesn't look better than UC2. I'm sorry but people are overhyping this.
killzone2 was great and so is halo. let's not get into who smells like what now.
Halo has always looked great in motion to be honest.
You guys are holding a needless grudge. Valve make some of the best games and even though I don't particularly won't them to develope games for ps3(I'd prefer them to concentrate their resources on PC), many playstation owners would love the opportunity to play their games. Your average ps3 owner out there has no idea what they have said in the past, nor would they care anyway. A game is a game.
