Most Sony fans don't mention MGS4 not b/c of the XGA resolution. Rather it is because it is a Third party exclusive not a First.
Wow. That's spiffy, you got gipped by Sony good didn't ya?
So what do you think you've spent on your 360? $399 in 2005 + 5 years of xbox live (2005-2010)? Assuming you've averaged at $40/yr for the subscription, you aren't looking too pretty at $600 either. What if you paid it at $50/year? Tisk tisk MS got ya at $659. Oh yeah how'd that 20gb drive hold up for you? Did you end up getting wireless too like you got for the ps3? Have you seen "Inglorius bastards" in 1080p on yo...
Booni3. When ppl count resolution on a frame... they don't just count one frame. Get it? Just like calculating framerate or analyzing mo-cap, blurs or post processing... you look frame by frame. If the resolution changes, you will notice it.
Secondly, the ability to change the whole frame's resolution on the fly is very uncommon. The only notable title that has actually done this is Wipeout HD. Every other game out there will possibly downgrade for example particle effects ...
Where did you come up with that delusional crap? You think people in digital foundry or beyond3D don't analyze multiple frames to determine resolution?
How do you think they caught WipeoutHD fluctuating between 1280 x 1080 - 1980 x 1080? You fanboys will try to make up BS just to feel better.
There is nothing in that forum posting by Remedy that says frames are constantly fluctuating between 540p -720p. It says that the composition of the final frame is a composite...
I think what's being argued in the end isn't that multiplat games showcase sub-HD resolutions but rather that a console 1ST party exclusive shouldn't.
You guys can josh and manipulate the argument all you want all day about this or that game on the ps3 or 360 having sub-HD resolution. But at the end of the day, Remedy, Bungie, etc, all considered FIRST PARTY studios have released sub-HD titles. None of Sony's 1st party have this syndrome. And considering that even MGS4 (released...
Looks like Quaz51 from Beyond3D has also stepped in the pixel counting game of Alan Wake. Confirmed to be 960 x 540p.

Meaning that they account for ratios of potentially downsampled video.
For comparison, 960x540 4xFSAA is 2/3 resolution of MGS4 (1024 x 768 2x MSAA) and 1/2 the resolution of God of War III (with MLAA = 16x...
That looks good so far. There isn't much to see yet though in this second ten min. Love the scenery on the ferry but I was surprised they FMVed right to the diner. Would've been nice to see the drive to there.
Need more footage though still. So far the playable environments are extremely small. We have a very visually controlled ferry ride, A small diner, and an island with a cabin, shed, and deck. Nothing graphically challenging considering how little is going on. Oh yeah ...
The author is right on that exclusives will help shore up the 360's lineup, with better than multiplat visuals. But we're talking how many in-house 1st party studios in Microsoft's portfolio? 3? or is that 2 now that Bungie's separating? If it took Remedy 5 years to make Alan Wake and we see a similar trend with Sony's 20 1st party studios only churning out about 3-4 exclusives a year... Where is MS going to pour money to find that load of talent to make custom games?
The auth...
I felt that the gameplay tutorial was very... how should I put it... hokey/implausible. I would've preferred it if Alan had found the flashlight after it fell from a shelf in the cabin when the entity started shaking the house. Perhaps run outside with the flashlight in a pitch black environment and then happen to shine the light on the body of his dead buddy (who happens to have a gun).
Or better yet, have the dark entity invade his friend's body and have Alan shine the light ...
I'm sorry murderdolls but the wands vibrate. Good for something on women after all said and done. :)
Mark and Execute through walls... that surely makes this game AAA /s.
That's just a hair-brained bug to not have been ironed out.
If you guys actually bothered to read the article.... so far what 60-70% didn't?
@Cold2000 he does talk about a ps3 exclusive, Uncharted 2. Gave it huge kudos on the first paragraph.
@shadow2792: Sorry dude KZ2's story was average at best. I just heard alot of cursing most of the time with no real character development. Gameplay was a different matter altogether.
Yes. I want to fap on the run with a 3.5-4.3 screen in the public toilet or starbucks. Seriously, where is it that porn would benefit a phone experience? You want to sneak one in at your buddy'place and risk f**king up your phone and a cleanup? hahaha. Oh wait i'm a prepubescent kid who wants to trade porn cards via iPhone lolz /s
I am reserving my judgement until I see it in person. The last "breakthrough" title Splinter Cell: Conviction, *cough* looked great at E3 and on trailers *cough* and all the fanboys were proclaiming it the console equalizer. Too bad it didn't even come close to anything. I am not implying Alan Wake is going to suck as Remedy is a good studio, but let's wait and see.
It's fanboyish to talk about multiplats when practically every exclusive on either the 360 or PS3 totally destroys multiplats in terms of quality.
Not to be a downer but I get bothered by statements such as these. "Natal will sell millions and millions?" That seems to be a typical Microsoft focus of the corporate bottom-line rather than a focus on providing the best gaming experience for the consumer. The millions and millions sounds arrogant and self-centered. Even if marketing indicators and surveys say so Greenberg, you don't go puffing up your chest like a grape ape like that.
personally i think idle and foxgod are the same MS asskisser, but who knows they could just be individual asskissers.
The voice acting and scenario setups are superb. I played the first game, and definitely look forward to trying out this one.
I disagree. I think what the 360 is doing these days is far more complex than when the console generation first started. The developers are trying to squeeze the same number of physical, AI numbers, particle, and HDR lighting/shadowing interactions that were demonstrated by many cutting edge PS3 titles. I mean would we be talking about 60 onscreen NPCs with Halo Reach if it weren't for Resistance 2 or MAG?
To me, the 360 was designed with an older PC design mindset when the b...
