I didn't read the second half of your post.... MY BAD. I was just making a joke. Do agree about procedural textures/effects though. Back when I was into 3d modeling etc. I always tried my hardest to use only engine generated assets. With a little extra work you could get some astounding results. The real future of games isn't in textures etc. It's in making a world, and having the engine do what would normally be considered texture work for you. That's where the big leaps are going to be comi...

When too human came out it covered the whole front page with negative 360 news. So much so that any positive review of the game actually got flamed by sony fanboys.

In fact, most of this summer the front page was just one big anti-360 advertisement.

At least the PS3/Blu-Ray articles have some sense of logic with them. Microsoft is making more money than ever off their gaming division (sans the 3 year extended warranty), and it still got the "360 is dead" ar...

So since Microsoft has braid... it actually has 5D gaming... Length Width Height Time and Time^2... :-o

@knavex With a half decade and 60 million dollars (reported at the beginning of last year) I think you could make a lot of games look that good.

Are you serious? Warzone I'll agree with slightly because of the other people on it, but HHG is way pro sony. If you actually listen to a warzone, anytime someone says anything remotely worrysome about the PS3 or positive about the 360 he goes into a 10 minute speech about why the PS3 is great.

He isn't as bad as most because he is willing to accept that the 360 has some good things, but he definitely has a huge bias towards the PS3.

are you serious? He didn't even really talk positively about either console other than to say the 360 makes a small profit on consoles sold (it's actually right about even) and the PS3 loses money on each console sold. Those aren't fanboy biased. He then went on to discuss the difference between revenue and profit.

I know this. I'm talking about people you haven't played with. The guy in the article said he liked playing with people that listened to his podcast. Unless he randomly runs into the 200 or so people that listen out of the 10 million + people, I don't think the recent players list is going to cut it.

I'm pretty sure the marketing for LBP sucked pretty hard considering the game concept should practically sell itself.

Would be to have a temporary friend thing, or be able to invite people to your game by gamertag instead of needing them as a friend.

I think more important is that they need a better way to delete friends that haven't played in 5 years or changed gamertags. I did that today and it took me an hour deleting all the people with a gamerscore of 0 one by one.

If you type "hate microsoft" or "hate sony" you get around 500-600k hits. That might seem interesting, but you get about the same if you type in "hate mother theresa". You get similar results by doing exact phrase searches for any of those.

I don't get the point of it... Google is designed to give you a lot of results regardless of what you type. The point is that the best/most applicable searches rise to the top.

But after the wii going so far ahead at a higher price point, it would be quite arrogant of me to not learn from the past.

I would definitely say it's a good possibility, but nowhere near certainty.

that's uber low...

I don't even try to get achievements and I have 13000. I think the highest I know is 39000ish.

Gamerscore isn't a reflection of skill, it's a reflection of how much you play games. Truskill measures actual skill, but you can't see those numbers. Achievements are, more than anything, a set of goals to increase replayability on games. If you're looking to them for skill reflection, you're looking in the wrong place.

Specific models for trophies are not required though.

double standards much? I was replying to him with a similar statement to show that it goes both ways. Do you really think I'm so naive to think that there are no 360 fanboys?

But thus, a PS3 fanboy says something stupid, he gets 20 agrees and 2 disagrees. Someone shows him why it's stupid and gets 25 disagrees...

on gamefly are pretty good actually.

They're more realistic than a lot of other reviews are. I think it has to do with the people reviewing them having rented the games and having to pay for the service.

And I wish sony would do the same so all the PS3 owners would have something better to do than troll this site...

That isn't what it means.

Geometry can be loaded and unloaded plenty fast on DDR3 for what you said. What it does mean is that things you only need to load for single calculations get added and removed faster (those things are very rarely things you actually see on screen).

For being such a hardware snob, you really don't understand why the PS3's XDR is good. It's still debatable which architecture is really better, because there is a lot to be said for unified memor...

@ mNicholas

Why not prove him wrong then? Or are you just going to leave it with the "I'll pretend I'm smarter than you and not dignify your argument with a response in an effort to look like I'm not wrong."
