Oh we know it's coming out for the Xbox360... half the game that is lol.
The fact that you can't tell the difference between GFX of GOW and Unreal Tournament 2008 shows how close Epic is to achieving a plateau on what they can do with the Unreal III engine. This can be a great or bad thing depending on how you view it.
I totally know what you mean about the console control suckage. However, just to inform you on accessories available to the PS3: You can actually hook up a mouse or keyboard to use for this game or better yet, you can get a wireless Splitfish(?) FX mouse/thumbpad combo that works really well too and is compatible with all PS3 FPSes.
Just because YOU have never played anything made by Bungie besides Halo doesn't mean that Bungie is just a one-off company. I can't believe you can say something so ignorant and crass without reading up a little on Bungie's history. Far from your "keen" observations, I welcome this change. Bungie was acclaimed even before Halo and were seen as one of the best growing studios in the league of Blizzard to name a fellow studio of that time. They made some fantastic games such as My...
This game isn't even the league of Heavenly sword and it gets a better rating (7.0 vs. 7.5???). I wonder which game got downplayed or up-played a bit... hmmm...
You've hit it right on the head. EA and Microsoft are totally two peas in a pod. If you want quality, you still need to go to Japan.
Seriously quit smoking Microsoft's pipe already... It's gross.
I have both the PS3 and Wii and I haven't touched my wii in 2 months...
Yeah yeah Metroid Prime: corruption. Blah blah blah. That's about it.
they have quality control at microsoft????
some people need firing then.
NO NO, You mean some people need hiring...XD
(since there doesn't seem to be a QA team)
Badkolo, Sony is hardly in a bad spot. They can afford to lose more money to make more PS3 converts. As I see it, it has always been about timing the rise of the PS3 with the slow decline of the PS2. As the PS2 lineup dries out, Sony is beginning to tap the PS3 market harder.
Right now, SCEA is still making good money off their PS2s. Microsoft is the only one out of the three competitors that is consistently losing money on a quarter to quarter basis. Sony will still be e...
If you have a 133" screen as you claim... (probably a home built lcd projector if you ask me) you shouldn't even be complaining because that would somehow suggest you have money to burn.
What makes you think MPEG is inferior? It isn't even so much about the encoding as who mastered the film. You're going to get good versions or bad versions depending on who worked on it...not how one compression method is vs. another. As for formats... Sony isn't necessarily constraining...
Please also keep in mind that the PS3 has the largest title lineup for the Holiday Season. Sony is really taking a huge step to try to bank this holiday.
Please also keep in mind that SCEA is making money, not losing it (from PS2 sales/licensing) and they can afford to take this price drop.
You should read your articles... I mean really.
There was an article posting yesterday about BD disc yields. Sony has successfully brought yields up to an acceptable 85%+ for single layer BD discs and a 75%-79% yield rate for dual layer BD-Discs.
Both are acceptable at this point considering they hold 2~5 times more data than a dual layer DVD. It'll take a while before the 50GB dual layer disc is fully utilized by game developers. Hitachi will have 2 years to ...
RuffRyder, listen to what CaliGamer is mentioning, he brings up a very strong point. Your mindset is too much in the here and now. I would like to bring up another aspect that extra storage space provides for game developers. I mentioned it earlier up in a diff post, but lets take a 10 megapixel camera and take a picture of a wall in rl that we would like to use for a game. Now we take that same picture using a camera phone. Which is going to look better? Obviously the 10 mega pixel cam...
@BloodySinner- Assuming any developer takes advantage of the extra storage space. Which most WON'T, meaning 3rd parties in general. Why? Because 3rd parties have nothing to gain by adding extra content in one version over another (PS3 vs 360).
- You are absolutely right about that. Why would 3rd party developers use the extra space for higher quality textures or sounds if they can't fit it into a DVD-9 disc for the xbox360? I agree with you that we won't be seeing the better ...
Don't be silly Bladestar, you can't just pick and choose pricing just b/c you don't like certain features on the PS3 vs. the xbox360. Otherwise, you are doing the exact same thing Mighty_Douche did.
The only thing that stood out for me watching this video was the blood splash effects. Other than that, I can't see how this is anything but a typical run-of-the-mill hack and slash, albeit a higher definition one. Conan is extremely strong, he tears a friggin cell door off with his barehands. Yet when he fights other guys, he's no different from them? Block parry, bland. You know what I would want to see out this? I want to see overhand chops so powerful they cut through the sword or arm...
Don't be a fool Scrooge, just because 5.2 million people played Halo in the last 72 hours, does not make it a great game. I could take the same argument and say 110 million people visit McDonald's stores a day. Does that make their food great? No. Yes, there is some respect that goes behind the amount of draw that each brings, but no it doesn't make the product "great".
Yeah I agree with you about the over promise on ports from Sony. However, at least both are feature present (albeit only 1 of each) in the final Game system. We're talking about a promised feature in Halo3 that never made it into the game, let alone a poorly implemented version of it.
Besides, if you're so keen on Sony's overpromises, why don't we talk about how Xbox360s lack an HDMI port and we are now seeing units with these ports? Don't you feel mad as a consumer? I woul...
wow that sounds like some seriously shoddy programming or QA. I can't believe you have an expansive map where you can't utilize the sniper rifle like it's meant to be used. Thats a buzzkill for me ( cuz i love sniper play). You would think that "weapons" that work as their meant to would be somewhat of a priority in game development. Can i ask what the map rotation problem you're detailing means? Not enough maps or only a "microsoft" mandated map rotation style?
uh....the ps3 version will come with all that and supposed PC vs. PS3 online capability. Frankly i'd rather game on my 42" screen then in front of my computer. And yes I can use a mouse and keyboard... And yes all the mods, maps, etc will be downloadable like the PC...
So what are you talking about?
