My opin is it just needs a pricecut at this point. PS3 already has comparable online offerings to the 360. A drop in price and people will stop their whining and start buying.
Right.... the kz2 that should have, would have, could have come out on the 360 this year but didn't. Does that mean the 360 devs suck, are lazy, or can't pull it off on a hardware that had a year's headstart?
Dream on. why do you think MS with all that money hasn't gotten a single first party dev to come up with something better than halo3? Why is it that, EPic and Capcom lead over MS 1st party studios? The 60 mil thrown into Kz2 is a drop in the bucket for MS. Dev money is cl...
As the article points, xbox fanboys, the ps3 build is older and lacks some of the shaders and shadowing that the 360 build has. Let's reserve judgement until the final build comes out b4 you guys start pointing your pea shooters at the opposition.
@POG - If kz2 could be done on the 360, it would have come out by now. Afterall, the 360 did come out a YEAR earlier. where's 360's KZ2? Ninja blade? Don't think so.
I agree that these articles are somewhat retarded. Whoever writes them must be so narrow sighted that they practically believe SCE's only product line is the PS3. What about ps2 and psp sales? Even in the US, Sony pushed about 600,0000+ for the month with all three gaming products combined. That is absolutely nothing to scoff about and shows a company live and doing really well O_o
No i honestly think there aren't any benefits when the word microsoft and fees are thrown in tandem.
I have yet to see any company benefit from partnering with MS looking at the company's history and I am not about to believe the consumer is going to benefit in the LONG TERM.
This isn't blind hate... No, not when I've been following OS computing for 20 years and seen every trick in MS's dirty book thrown at every potential competitor that has come their way. The on...
Oh hey did you get a nice check from Epic or MS studios for the sales of geow2? Didn't think so. How did those fantasy dollars up your gaming experience? Do you game with coins or bills?
Frankly I thought Gears2 lost some of the dark foreboding feeling that its predecessor had. You had a feeling of how lonely and desolate the world was in the first game, but this time, its all sunny, snow, and nice weather.
This particular sequel totally killed the expectation of a locust "HORDE" for me. When you see all the locusts erupting from the ground in the rig level...that was cool. But where was all that horde in gameplay when you supposedly infiltrated their...
I can't argue with you on that... but I also take it to be a sign of how far we've fallen from the America which used to honor the hard working man and gave a crap about an honest day's work.
Taking from the poor, simpleminded, or addled-brained is NOT honest and it isn't upright. You wouldn't take candy away from a baby b/c he/she can't keep it in his/her hands, so why would you do it to someone who can't do their math?
So while yes, MS can do what they wish... I f...
You and nipgrip can get your asses reamed by MS for all i care. It's your God-given right i suppose.
Let me ask you a question and you tell me how you and numbnutz thought this scenario up. How is it that a person who buys and owns a PC won't have $10 or $60 to play with? Honestly...unless their 16 or under. Here's another red herring. Assuming they can't pay $60 to buy a game, do you think they'd have a "powerful" enough PC to even rent and run the godamn gaming pro...
I seem to recall pinup girls from this time period being ALOT plumper. I mean considering how full bodied her figure is with those knockers. Hardly normal.
Jenzo, there's an obvious reason why you don't work in the game industry. I'm sorry, but you would be the only guy on that floor who would think a target render equates actual gameplay.
The target render showcase is an industry standard practice of publishers or game studios use to present their up and coming work. I don't think anyone within the industry or in the industry media would have "fallen" for this purported bait and switch claim.
Common Sense an...
MS is DooMD if they think they can just wish their way into a new format.
The consumer has spoken. The wii is obviously the most powerful console outselling the 360 3 to 1 even though the 360 is $50 dollars cheaper. Surely MS should just pack their bags and go back to redmond where Melinda gates can welcome Shane, steve, bill, paul, with some charity hot cocoa.
I think character models textures were slightly higher on geow2 than mgs4, but MGS4's looked much more seamless. I caught many a time, plates on the shoulder plates clipping into the walls, arms legs on geow2.
Anyway, my chief gripe with your argument is that you know (as I know if you played with mgs4) that everything in MGS4 from faraway up to magnifying glass range was readable and sharp (if not super high quality texture). Geow2 had a huge vaseline effects from 300+ feet a...
Can't believe some of you took my statement so seriously. Just trying to show how unreasonably lame POGs statements sound. It was supposed to be sarcastic.
My bet is still uncharted is a good deal sharper. if you're going to bet between a sony 1st party and a 3rd party title, 1st party 90% ftw.
Btw, I didn't disagree w/ u
RE5 looks like a Unreal 3 engine game. Just looked it up... Yep it is.
PS3 owners already know how that's going to look next to a Naughty Dog (Uncharted's) title. Sharp upclose textures on the characters/enemies only. Blurry as hell on far off environments and objects. And no upclose high res...
Is it me or does it look like when the main character is shooting the skulls in the comparison vid that only ps3 shows bullet holes in the wood after breaking the skulls?
Take a look. I'm not kidding.
You can see the bullet impressions left even in the back room by the ps3 version. Just follow the laser. On the 360, there is no such bullet hole mark.
POG, you and your neverending delusions. Everyone knows 360 gets slaughtered when it comes to exclusives comparisons. Shoddy hardware, and paying $49/year to listen to rabid pre-teen fanbois spam the voice chats. Oh 360 is so FTL
You can dish it, but can you take it? Bend over.
I'm sure they paid for the use of it. Otherwise, we would be seeing a big fuss about it right now from Deathspawn. It was probably cheaper than having their in-house guys do it or paying a royalty from a professional.
Still, very amusing .
...I'd like to know which business prominent types you are referring to and gladly stay outside of that circle. The only thing i've seen this year to even come close to "derailing" Sony's momentum this year has been MS's last ditch price cut. That and maybe all this FUD Microsoft is trying to generate in the US media market.
Imagine all this mudslinging conveniently happening now that MS has run out of 'exclusive' titles to promote this year.
The facts don...
