Amazing how there are more comments in the open zone than in the gamer zone for this article!
Anyway, looks like Forza 2.5 has been well and truly put in its place. All they need is 1080p resolution, 600 more cars, new damage modelling and physics, indy/Nascar/WRC, night racing and all-weather racing, detailed interior car models, head tracking, 2x the number of players in online and then they can start to compete with the truly definitive racer!
True. I am pretty bad at sim racing but this is worth buying just to show off.
The graphics and animations are no worse than Halo3/ODST /L4D2 - funny how those games get away with it while MAG is being criticised
Strangely enough, you never bothered to delete provocative pro-forza comments on GT5 threads, and now that Forza is getting owned big-time by this latest reveal, you suddenly dont have a stomach for it? Bunch of hypocrites!
Thats Grid
"what game offers more than what Forza 3 does?"
What does Forza offer that Grid and NFS dont? Weaker graphics than Grid and similar 720p resolution, similar arcade controls and physics, half-baked car models (neither game has the same level of detail as GT5), last gen damage - where Grid is arguably better
Grid actually was the first one to offer the rewind mode, and has 12-player online whereas Forza only has 8
The only place where Forza scores is...

Evidently, the 360 version is much weaker in this game, with screen tearing and slowdowns, so why not do the same thing they did for Bayonetta PS3 and deduct scores?
Fact: weaker performance on PS3 in case of Orange box and Bayonetta was hyped out of proportion, even though both games are perfectly playable on PS3
Fact: 360 version was significantly inferior in Dragon's age and this game, and yet this was downplayed
Fact: you say that minor differences should be ignor...
Some hype for this game as well please? Sounds like a pretty interesting concept, playing as death would be cool!
Forget GT sales - the magazine withh the feature on GT5 is itself going to sell 6 million! I am going to run out and buy one asap!
Well, I am sure the game is pretty good - its Hideo Kamiya after all - just annoyed by the blatant GoW-baiting and also feels like reviewers allowed the fact that its a sexy chick as the to bias scores. I guess if anyone liked DMC, they should go ahead and buy this. Personally not a big fan of this genre, GoW is not one of my favs, the only one I liked was Ninja Gaiden.
i.e., an average multiplatform game being hyped against a superior PS3 exclusive. The potshots against Kratos in several reviews is proof of that - its not even a similar game. Did you find any articles saying that Nathan Drake kicks master chief's ass?
The reason this is getting flak is the amount of hype and not enough justification. weak story, weak graphics, apparently the shallow 2-button combo system and DMC-like combat is so awesome that it deserves 10 points higher than D...
Its quite amusing to see articles like this - I remember when the PS3 came out, and MS spread stories about the PS3 being a much weaker machine
apparently the cell processor is useless for gaming, the PS3 has less RAM, the graphics card is inferior, blu-ray would make games slow to load. Anyone else remember those "features" carried out by every gaming site?
Seems like Sony responded to those lies in the best way possible - through its games.
Now it ...
That must have taken quite some time to compile, but all that it tells me is that list includes just one wii game that I would like to play. Mario kart is probably also the worst racing game of this generation in every respect, the AI rubberbanding takes the cake.
And the other lists simply show that MGS sells as much as Gears, Halo sold a bit more than the usual GT game, and sales of CoD/GTA/Assasin creed are in line with console install base (360 is about 1.5x in western countr...
UC1 and UC2 cost 20 million to make. I would guess infamous cost similar, and R&C cost maybe 15m. Crackdown and Bioshock possibly also in the 20m range.
Now assuming that the developer + publisher get $20 per copy sold at full price and $10 after it goes to the budhet game range
So a game like inFamous made back its development budget as soon as it hit 1 million ($20mn in revenues)
If it sells 500,000 more at budget, thats a $5m return over a $20m investment
...
Games that barely reached 2 million on the 360:
Mass Effect
Bioshock
Games that failed tor each even 1 million:
Ace combat 6
Lost Odyssey
Blue Dragon
Star ocean
Tales of vesperia
Kameo
Banjo Kajooie
"frequent, excessively long load times."
Happens in that game as well, doesnt it?
Anyway, spread the word around, so that nobody with a PS3 buys this game, that will make kamiya come to his senses.
"Does anyone buy anything these spammers sell?"
No, we just downvote them to oblivion - thats one thing on which PS3/360/wii fanboys are united!
Well, there are maybe 150-200 million potential console purchases in Europe / US/ Japan
Of which maybe just 30 million are active gamers - which is why even the best games on PS2 barely sold more than a few million, despite a 100 million install base
Its the 100 million odd non-gaming console buyers thats going for the wii - they have no clue about games or controls, they like the gimmick and the fact that you dont have to master the gamepad
I am sure ME2 will be excellent - but considering the first one sold barely 2 million, easily beaten by games with much lower budgets such as LBP or Uncharted (even the first one), this looks like another commercial flop. A story-driven game just cant sell on the 360.
MS claimed the PS3 was inferior to 360 - and Sony came out with UC2, which destroy every 360 exclusive
MS claimed the KZ2 trailer was a lie - and GG came out with a game that trumped the trailer
Turn 10 tried to pretend Forza deserves to be in the same class as GT - and then GT5 turns up with 1000 cars, night / all weatgher racing, 15p online, 1080p, nascar, head tracing, interior models, etc etc
So if MS and xbox supporters disagree with Sony's statements on goW3 - ...
