Delusional rhetoric at it finest!
Once again, another loser decides the PS3 only sells because it plays Blu ray discs. Do you smoke crack? The PS3 has been out for just 1 year in europe, yet continues to outsell the 360 by extremely significant margins month after month, despite MS desperately bringing in a round of price cuts in that territory. The games software attach rate week after week is higher on the PS3. Look at the figures and see for yourself, a higher percentage of ...
Oh hell..... I fit into most of those catagories!
The only ones I don't fit is not switching the machines on for days (they are on almost every day), and not using the consoles when my wife is in ( I married a gamer - my other half has to understand games!).
Apart from them, they got me hands down!
I particulary relate to:
"Your FPS experience consists of spawn, run, die... spawn, run, die... spawn…
The reflexes that serv...
Nice bloke, Dave - I had the pleasure of working with him at Bullfrog.
No suprises he's happy with PS3 developement. Sony have been pretty good to relentless and they've made plenty of money with sony platforms in the past. Also the potential of conectivity through the PSN network is a god send for this type of gaming title!
I can only agree with your agitation...
I know I was in the minority, but the first game underwhelmed me with its linearity and the very small scope of its environments with another load point around every corner. Still captivating, but not everything we were promised!
There's no doubt that the visuals for this title are appealing and I would hope the environments are now suitably impressively sized to feel like an big world, but I do worry about the core game experience.
...
Erm - I'm playing the 360 version right now.
But I'm buying the PS3 version as the one I actually purchase.
As for hard drive installs - I don't see any option for the 360? I've looked and looked, but theres no option for a HD install. As for colour differences, the game has brigthness, contrast and saturation controls - so you can tweak it how you want.
I've not noticed any bad pop up or anything on this 360 version so far - a small delay loading...
That the devs have had a hard time compressing the data for this title to fit it on the 360's DVD is a matter of public record. Rockstar have also announced that they will have a hard time bringing any further installements of the series because of the limitations of the medium.
To fit a game of this scope in this size means a few things:
No movies. All cuts scenes are done in the game engine and this saves plenty of space compared with a title that uses preredered footage or vi...
Would you believe I've not had a chance to play it? I got it last night, but I'm really busy on the tail end of contract (another 360 game) and I'm finishing off the charaters models and cleaning up mocap etc..
I'm pretty desperate to take a peek though, so I might take an hour or two off once I reach a natural break.. I do enjoy snadbox type games though, so I'm sure I'll really enjoy it :)
I don't just think so - I have the unrared torrent on my harddrive right now and it IS exactly 7.3 gig...
Absolutely irrefutable.
I intend to get a head start with the 360 version till my PS purchased disc turns up! :)
This has to be the single most stupid article and submission I have ever seen!!!!!!!
THE PAL GAME IS DISTRIBUTED IN A MULTIPLE RAR FILE. UNPACK THE RAR AND YOU HAVE A 7.3 GIG ISO FILE!!!!
Pathetic isn't it???
As for people speculating that something is missing - no its not. Its a complete 'iso' dump of the retail release disc and completey indistiguishable from the commercial game - as is every other scene released iso dump available on the 360.
Yes my friend - end of november I stopped on it (though there were probably a couple more months of 'tidy up').
As for the reasons why such titles are developed so early, I guess its to help markettting and partners to asses, and to help them refine controlls and check usability. I was sub contracted onto that title, so I'm not in a position to know more about intended release dates or anything else.
Its actually annoying as I can't use such work on a showreel until the game is...
Sorry mate - but your very wrong.
Its no fake - I downloaded it earlier and its the full pal version.
I couldn't resist, I might as well get a head start on the 360 version while I wait for my PS3 order to arrive! :)
Don't know who's making it, but I know for a fact that ones coming. I finished developing a party style game for it last year, and I'm just finishing a concept for another game using the motion controls.
The WII bores me to tears with it grannie drivel and shovelware, so the prospect of MS wasting its very limited dev resources on more of the same but in high def, is very bad news for the paltform for core gamers. Because of all the projects I've heard about, none are core game...
No news here?
Every single pirate group release says 'if you like this, go buy the original and support the devs'. Why would GTA be any different?
There's an almost desperate urge to post absolutelty anything related to this game.
Is it just me or does anytone else think all these desperate stories are a bit sad?If I were to post a submision saying ' GTA is relased in a plastic jewel case' it would probably be approved as news......
I don'...
If you want a smile - check out the demo video of it - posted in here somewhere yesterday. It looked pretty ordinary to me - and that was without any game code to run. To suggest its capable of 360 or PS3 type visuals is really a bit rich. I'm all for the WII getting a better engine, but to pretend its as graphically capable as the 360 and PS3 is to be delusional! :)
Not true - many many titles are actually region free! :)
It tends to depend on the publisher... A large number of my 360 games are US versions that play fine on my UK PAL machine. If you search google you can find a list of region compatabilities for 360 titles.
I hate region locking!!
I hate to point it out, but all PS3 titles are region free and there is no restrictive region locking on that platform, so at least PS3 owners who want to import will be OK... shame for anyone who wanted to import a 360 version though..
Peoples inability to understand even simply numbers is almost laughable - as is this entire article! :)
Given the install base differences between the 'rival' platforms, you would actually expect a far higher percentage to express a preference for the 36o version. The figures actually suggest theres an underlying preference for the PS3 version ... which would be worrying consideriny the 50 million payment MS shelled out to try and get the 'definitive' version.
Though I understand peoples disappointments - I've not see a guaranteed release date from them for Home?
Despite the obvious misunderstanding that I can see in this thread about what Home is, and a serious lack of understanding about how difficult it might be to implement it that arises from poor conceptual understanding, I would have thought any gamer would understand waiting for a product to be ready. We get it all the time, with most of big products we are waiting for:- it ...
Here's hoping thsi game will be a real return to form.
Like a alot of others, their recent output has not got me very excited, and Kameo and Viva Pinyata started gathering dust pretty quickly after purchase in this house - which is a shame for a company with such an amazing pedigree.
Lets hope Banjo 3 sees a real return to form - the platform could use another great title for this year, and I could do with another classic platformer!! :)
What makes think I didn't read your post?
I did, and it was riddled with the same 'I know better than everyone else' rhetoric that afflicts many of the posters on this and other web sites.
As for not reading posts, why didn't you read the reply which plainly told you why you are peddling Bullsh*t. If people buy a PS3 to play Blu rays, why is the weekly attach higher?
If the 360 is cheaper, why did it cost me considerably more money to buy my 360 set up tha...
