I trust IGN's reviews, and since they had so many good things to say about this game, I think it's safe to say I'll be buying it even without a demo.
I've been looking forward to this game ever since the first trailer was released for it.
"nah ill make another ID instead of make 599 accounts to give myself bubble's like you unemployed droids ;)"
"nah, i'll make another ID" <------ RIGHT F*CKING THERE.
God, you are f*cking DENSE. When you run out of bubbles, you will just create another ID and continue trolling. That's what you are saying. How the f*ck does someone make a statement that they don't even understand the meaning of?
Oh, nice try, but you using ports of 360 games is a tired arguement. It's effectively nullified by the fact that games such as Killzone 2, Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank: Future and other excellent looking games that totally blow the look of most 360 games away. Yeah, HAZE was a piece of crap, as was LAIR. However, at least LAIR runs at 1080p.
You really think that porting code from the 360 to the PS3's development architecture is a 1:1 process, eh? Keep telling yourself that Unrea...
The shaders and texture work are somewhat low-res.
This is an early build, however, and I have a feeling the game will turn out great by the time it's released next year.
Creating another ID and making other accounts to bubble yourself is the same damn thing, you f*cking moron
The character models are ALWAYS relatively low polygon count. The Unreal Engine is good at texturing to hide this, but if you have ever played Unreal Tournament 3 or Gears of War and have seen the textures pop in, you can see how low the poly counts on the models are before being textured up.
I find that UPS always manages to send packages in boxes that have been crushed or damaged in some manner.
360 games usually always hide low poly models behind shiny textures and extreme bloom effects.
It's easy to develop games for a system where you can use graphical cop-out measures.
ZING!!!
Anyway, I don't like the sound of this preview, but I'm still holding hope that this will turn out well. I haven't played a good Star Ocean game since the second one (the first Star Ocean was one of the most epic RPG's ever made, IMO), so hopefully they can pull this game off. The screenshots looked so good, but from the sound of it, those might have been bullshots this whole time...
This cements my purchase. Also, it's good to see the difficulty is such that it really makes you afraid for your character's life around every turn. The necromorphs are really a formidable enemy!
EA has its sh!t franchises that it keeps pumping out year after year, but they also show that they can come out with quality games like Dead Space, Burnout and (hopefully) Mirror's Edge.
Excellent use of textures and geometry!
Though, I always wonder why Sackboy looks like he's spazzing out whenever you push or pull an object. When he pulls levers, he always looks like he's having a seizure! lol...
Also, LOL @ the "human sacrifice"! That's just like in God of War 1 where you have to push that guy in the cage into the fire at the end of the hallway. Good stuff!
But they still count them as being "shipped", which companies will also use to trick the consumer into thinking they are doing better than they are.
At least with an HD-based disc, you don't get the macro blocking and compression artifacts that you get with cable, satellite and HD streaming services.
Blu Ray is like a diamond, whereas streaming HD video over cable and satellite networks is comparable to a cubic zirconia. You can see the quality wants to be there, but it just doesn't quite match up to the real thing when put under closer examination.
That said, it's good that Dish Network is offering such a robust...
It took a 360 fanboy to develop a level featuring grade-school scat humor
And no bashing of the competition. Microsoft PR reps could learn a thing or two about this sort of behavior.
Also, it's funny how stupid fanboys get worked up over "lost exclusives", and then the Sony company president goes ahead and states utmost common sense:
--------
"Eurogamer: You mentioned earlier how important RPGs are in the Japanese market. So presumably it was very important for you to hold on to Final Fantasy exclusivity here? ...
But you could drive vehicles as well. Crackdown is one of my favorite XBOX 360 titles, and this game looks to have the gameplay that I will love. InFamous is quickly becoming one of my top-anticipated PS3 games for '09.
Yes, that is correct. Unless Microsoft decides to pull some sort of trick and have some other company develop the games, there will be no more Age of Empires games.
I hope that something is revealed on that game soon. I am growing impatient with waiting for information!
I see that they have further improved the graphics in this title since I last saw video footage of the beta. Nice work, Insomniac!
But, that bloom is *really* hard on the eyes, IMO
