Good idea. It certainly wouldn't be any better if it did come to PS3, they're not exactly going to redo all the model making tools and all the textures to fit a higher spec. So it would only end up looking the same, but maybe at 1080p, 60fps. But an average PC could easily run spore at that, or maybe an even bigger resolution. DRM would be the only reason to get the PS3 version over the PC version, but then again, you can just download it on torrent and avoid the DRM.
And yet it mentions "the PC version" in the very description of the story. FAIL. Not possible to be PS3 exclusive unless they pull spore PC from shelves RIGHT NOW.
My household has 3 PSN accounts. That would cost a LOT per year on live. It's all very well having an online system with achievements/friends but if you then have to share that account (or pay for a new one) those features are either downgraded or expensive.
Wait are you saying that the mic doesn't work in Home? Because in all the previews I've read it says there will be proximity chat using the mic. Or is it just that there are issues and it only works 1/2 the time (like many games I have played, PC & PS3)?
I've heard lots of negative reports from beta testers. I heard on insomniac's podcast that they'd "had a lot of feedback from beta testers". From the way they said it it sounded like they'd changed the game a lot from the original and there were a lot of issues. I don't know why insomniac have decided to go more the traditional FPS route rather than keeping all the features and the feel of the game that made the original so great. They have NO reason to restrict the number of weapon...
I don't think that's a blu-ray speed based issue. I think it's an architecture issue within the PS3. I believe him if he says that streaming is slower, but you DON'T need an install to do that. The actual read speeds of the blu-ray drive in the PS3 and the DVD drive in the 360 are very similar. Uncharted had no problem streaming data because it did it in advance before you got to that area, and cached it on the HDD (not an install) so it could load it much faster. Futhermore, hard disk stream...
You meant "tell me how 9 is bigger than 50" but I'll let that pass lol.
I didn't disagree, but I don't think games (this gen) will ever be particularly held back by having DVD. Maybe if the 360 used only single-layer DVDs or the PS3 could use 4-layered blu-rays, there would be enough of a difference. The reason is, 50 may be bigger than 9, but 50 isn't bigger than 6 times 9. There's no reason a 360 game couldn't come on 6 disks. And having to swap disks is less of a pai...
can't come soon enough :D
People really ought to stop bashing games because they are nothing new. I'm sure an awful lot of people haven't played the PSP games. And what if the PSP games had never been released? Would this get a 9/10? It's not as though it's a sequel on the same console with all the same content. If a game's released for one platform, then another, most sites don't take off marks because it's "more of the same"!!
Edit: In "the bad" they have listed a steep difficulty cu...
You're probably right there, but if gears 2 is just more of the same, should I really care about it? I passed on Gears 1 (got crysis instead) but I don't know if I should pick it up... I'm assuming gears 2 will come out on PC around this time next year? (Got crysis warhead, LBP, wipeout HD, resistance 2, possibly motorstorm 2, mirror's edge, fallout 3, killzone 2, GoW 3, Infamous + others to keep me occupied until then lol)
This would look better if it was 2D like GTA1&2.
Before you say anything, I'm not bashing this game. I just wonder why Killzone 2, perhaps the PS3's main shooter, gets a lot of criticism for being "just another FPS that doesn't innovate", whereas this game, perhaps the 360's main shooter, gets praise for being pretty much the same gameplay as the original, i.e. "just another TPS that doesn't innovate".
Yep I got it $35 off steam, inc. VAT. Still downloading, at 90%. Why did it have to slow down to half speed when it got to 80%?
"Its official" is the worst abuse of grammar on an official site I've seen. It's OK to have those kind of mistakes on some kiddy's blog who can't write, but on the official PS blog it's unacceptable. I've already complained on their comments section.
Yeah, I know that, but there ARE limits. And the time it takes to compute the motion of objects increases like n cubed with n the number of objects (I think). So even the cell will hit a wall somewhere, and my concern is that their thermometer gauge will not _always_ realise that you've created something too complex. But it remains to be seen. I thought that a public beta could have tested this out for sure.
Wait... so if they've gone gold, what about the beta? I'm sure if you let enough people at it you can cause it to crash (e.g. by making a really complicated physics object, but the thermometer doesn't go up accordingly and it slows to a crawl/crashes). I thought that was part of what they were doing.
I thought of a detailed example of how you could crash this game.
From what I can see, you can create things by adding, say, a big cube, then taking bits off that cube u...
There has been a lot of hate about this game, and looking at the reviews, well they average 6.8, which is around 7, which is a good game. Obviously to get that as an average it must have had worse and better reviews, and it DID fail to meet expectations, but it is by no means a BAD game. It just didn't live up to the hype.
You're missing the point. Many people have even said that the MP at least is VERY different from the original resistance (so much that some didn't like it, but I'm hoping they are just haters). It's anything BUT more of the same. I'm not so excited for the main campaign, though, I know it _looks_ good but you're right it doesn't add much new in terms of gameplay (what FPS can?) but the 8-player co-op and 60-player online MP have me super-hyped for this game.
My one concern is tha...
Best bit in the game. That's what made the game for me. LMAO
My point is that it's not exclusive. You can spin it to say "console exclusive", but that has NO merit whatsoever. The point of an exclusive is
1) You can focus on that platform and get better results
2) It's a reason to buy that platform
3) It can make use of that platform's specific features (e.g. wii sports etc.)
And yes, by my logic, the 360 doesn't have many exclusives (well it does actually even though a lot are on PC as well). I agree.
