Would additional content make or break a game?
One of the chief concerns/complaints from critics with this game was how there are no towns. When you take what this guys is saying about deleting a "HOME" area (which would be one of the 1st towns), you get the idea that many other "towns" were probably deleted as a result of space limitations. Would it have made a difference? Well according to critics one of the MAJOR problems with the game is the general disc...
Here's how I differentiate between good and great graphics:
When I look at circular objects with polygon count: Good graphics games use a 6-8 sided polygon. Great Games use 12 or even raytrace like GT5 where you can't see the angles at all period.
With water effects: Good is recognizing that water splashes so they use sprites or a 2d texture to simulate splash everytime a character walks. Great graphics (haven't seen this yet) is water that splashes up realistical...
haha true...

uhhhhh..... Sony owns Naughty Dog? Naughty Dog is a part of Sony? Sony's ICE Team works in Naughty Dog's offices?
dude... what time warp have you been in? Were you in some kind of stasis field for like 15 years? seriously, that type of QTE you described is long gone. Did you even see that video jalen247 suggested you watch? The QTE's in many parts of this game are completely dynamic. You can run around and run into QTEs that u choose to interact with. It isn't linear anymore buddy. Watch the action sequences playing out.... There is no "cutting" to a new cinematic video when you make a choi...
What is wrong with this CEO? Does he not have ANY faith in his current studio team? This guy has been selling out ever since he came into office. Wtf? No wonder sakaguchi, uematsu, etc. all left. This guy is a pushover. What type of impression are you giving to your own creative team when you say stuff like this. He should be fired.
Ever hear of a media center pc? Or lets forget that for a moment; Ever hook up your pc to your HD screen? I'm sure thousands if not millions of people have done it. And yes you can sit in the living room with a keyboard and mouse set up or heaven forbids "shudder" a wireless controller to your 'pc'.
Why are all the pics at 1067 x 600? couldn't they just show it at 720p?
Very nice pics but quick question.... Why are the screenshots at 1067 x 600? Is that the game resolution?
Beans, I probably sound like a tape reel for repeating this, but If KZ2 or UC2 could have been done on the 360, it would have been done already... a year ago. However, if you were to ask me how games look like now between 360 and ps3 games based on a screenshot, I would tell you they are very comparable. But I'm not talking about looking at the main character or the ground texture. I'm talking about the # physics interactions that you only get to see in motion, the # of light sources and s...
Good point about the 360 GPU being more powerful than the RSX. However, if you read some beyon3d forum posts, you would know the cell processor is at least as powerful as a 8800 GT churning out polygons while doing general tasks. Why do you think UC2 looks the way it does? You have both the RSX and Cell rendering polygons at the same time.
@beans- I don't know how you do it everytime...eating your own words that is. Look beans, go pull up some high res shots of Alan wake an...
Coming back on topic here, the author is alluding that only Apple seems capable of cracking new markets. To be honest Apple hasn't always been successful with new markets. I can easily recall the Newton PDAs that were 10 year ahead of current PDAs (do they even exist these days?) today and one of the first digital cameras. However, back then... the time simply wasn't right and the mainstream internet didn't even exist. Even so, I was still amazed that I could wirelessly dial-up online wit...
I would choose reliability over problems anyday. Take that analogy of yours and apply it to your kia vs. my toyota or your 360 vs my ps3.
Kushan... those certain 'advantages' of the cell is what makes KZ2 feel like being in a real battle and what ps3 players talk about how sparse 360 environments are. This trailer basically shows the 360 can generate the same quality textures as the ps3, but what really remains to be seen is how many dynamic effects can be handled by xenon/xenos. The sheer visuals of sparks flying, bouncing, shrapnel, smoke, dust, in the first party ps3 titles is what makes these titles amazing.
That's easy for you to say right now, but as game graphics will no doubt outstrip even Crysis in the future, that distinction may get more and more difficult to differentiate. Couple that with new upcoming immersion technology like 3D, haptic technology, digital scent, technology etc, and you might not be so comfortable.
I think you might be talking about your MS product, fanboy.
Apple cracks down very hard on leakers.
Is Left4dead ur first source game played? cuz, all the source games I've played, rail walking on a 'dangerous' precipice has always been the norm.
If they do a sequel... i hope they put some more research into Asian philosophy/Chinese philosophy than what I've seen so far...which seems to largely stem from Kungfu and Kungfu fantasy movies. They are far more schools of thought then the ways of the open palm/closed fist ... good vs. evil that's modeled in the last game. It is far more nuanced than that.
Another thing they could throw in, is use the history of war and the very unique tactics employed in Asian warfare, strat...
Your arguments have been reiterated over and over in past posts by yourselves and your stealthboy counterparts. It has been rebutted plenty of times, and proven how little you understand the time and the money it takes to migrate to a new platform. So here's a FAQ for you arses.
Do most third party studios have the budget to port platforms? NO. Where are most games developed on? PC workstations.
Which platform is the easiest to code for considering where this code comes f...
