What the hell is wrong with you people. iMad is passing @#$* out of his ass and you guys are taking it like its the 2nd coming of Jesus.
There is NOTHING in this article that substantiates the 6 million as being xbox360 sales. 6 Million refers to the first weeks of sales. 9 will be sold over the year. Get it into your brains and stop reading fanboi spin as fact!!!!!!!!
We estimate that GTA IV is likely to sell over 9 million units during the fiscal year, and think tha...
No it does not. This is ridiculous that people are trying to spin this article when the link is right there.
We estimate that GTA IV is likely to sell over 9 million units during the fiscal year, and think that the company will likely ship 6 million units in its first week, and will sell 3/4 of that amount in a brief period of time. The performance of GTA IV will thus be responsible for more than 100% of Take-Two's earnings for the year, and the game is likely to mask the unde...
I actually think that the ratio between PS3 units to Xbox360 units will be closer to 1:1 with the PS3 having better sales over the long term. As mentioned before the main reason for my argument is the public perception that the GTA series is tied to the PS.
My second line of reason is that out of the 17 million shipped xbox 360 units worldwide, I believe there are actually only 12-13 million working units in consumer's hands or in running condition. That would compare very fav...
I don't get the "realistic" concept of animals simply dropping fur and meat. I think it's retarded to say the least. What? Can't a dumb animal eat coins or rings? Ever had your dog eat your keys? Nothing wrong with JRPG animals dropping something other than meat.
Also there is no "immersive" story as you say in a game like Oblivion. You simply run around until you bump into the next objective which almost always gets buried underneath a pile of other quest...
Actually as great as I thought Oblivion's design was, I thought it was very flawed as well. When I played Oblivion, I hated the fact that the game punished you for being an explorer. By the time I visited all the towns and passed by the 10th ruins for the umpteenth time, I had like a 100+ quests that I had trouble scrolling through. I loved the graphics but hated the first person perspective and fighting. The D&D like spells blew chunks and basically told you to pick up a sword instead...
The article was extremely insightful. It showed me no matter how much I drink, I still can't read Italian. Now where is the translation!
Yes!! Fr-041 was procedurally rendered!! Hence it's 177kb size! I think this Linger in the Shadows is a procedurally rendered tech demo done in the vein of Fr-041. This is probably a demonstration of that exact concept on a console using an in-game engine! Which would be really really amazing!
I see where you are coming from with that. I'm no game programmer but don't you think it is a little bit more complicated than simply swapping one shader for another? For one thing it wasn't just a simple, one moment the dog is fur, the next moment the dog is stone. There was a gradual change. 2ndly as I mentioned before, if the effect is so simple as a quick swap, why hasn't it been done in-game before?
Your second point is spot on as well, as I mentioned it is less impressiv...
For an in game engine tech demo. I thought it was very impressive.
One of the wow factors for me was the dog's texture transformation from fur to stone. That is something I have yet to be seen done real time.
Equally impressive though to a lesser extent is the dog breaking up from the tentacles and the resulting collision from the pieces with the tentacles and with each other. Yes i've seen stuff break before, but never the parts interacting with others and then h...
I laughed when he said the OLED TV had "plasma grade contrast." There is no comparison in contrast between an OLED and Plasma. The OLED's black is literally true black and in a dark room would make the Plasma look like a first gen LCD in comparison. Also the colour, contrast ratios are an order higher than even the KURO line of Plasmas. Its not the just the thinness of the OLED that makes it expensive u know...
This looks like the response to Too Human for the 360.
I'm not in any way angry. Guess it's just the tone I set, trying to mash out a quick review. That and seeing a 9 given from Gameinformer and some other sites :)
Most of these reviewers Vegas2 bashing it for repetitiveness and then giving it a 9 are just dyed-in-the-wool hardcore fanbois. I played vegas 2 yesterday and the most I would give it would be a 7.5-8. Graphics are inferior to COD4 considering it came out after. The AI is stupid. They compensate scripted enemies with ungodly headshot abilities with a friggin machine gun. The aggressive AIs walk straight into your gunfire and they try to ante it up with random spawns. Sound is meh and not ...
In a queue counts as multiple downloads? Please. That's called a download manager.
That's sad... cuz as much as I like the titles you mentioned, I couldn't see myself playing with them forever. That would be kind of sick considering Ninja gaiden 3, Gears of War 3 may perhaps ome out after 2008 right?
Oh my god! After seeing the Too Human gameplay, I just wanted to tell you how great I think this game's abyssmal hack fest is going to be. It looks another run of the mill Unreal Tournament mod in third person mode. Didn't silicon knights sue epic because they couldn't get the Unreal engine to work right for them? Sounds to me like your confidence level in a game studio that can't even get the now ubiquitous game engine to work right is a ... bit too high.
Oh ya and a god call...
I'm a gamer and I say... we LOSE! We're going to be paying out of our asses for all these titles O_O
Why don't you try Safari 3.1 before you mouth off. God I can't believe there are browser fanbois too.
I've played the game and I agree with Media. Unless you are hooked up with players who have decent connections, this is the laggiest, rushed game ever. You literally cannot use a sniper rifle in this game because you have no way of registering where your shots or landing when you lead . The fun stuff about the game is the classes you can use and creative strategies you can come up with your class. However, shots from weapons and tanks sound generic compared to COD4 and bullets don't even r...
That looked sooo fake, there would've been no way you could've thought she was a real girl O_O
