Hmm - this could well explain why the developer has an entire team dedicated to PS3 technolgy beavering away on a PS3 engine. I had assumed it was going to be a new IP, but they have the technology, why not export crysis and recoup some of the developement money - it hasn't sold well on PC (not much does any more).
I'd be happy to see it if it arrives!:)
Nice rant tough guy....
So in order to stop the blatently pathetic posts on here, you're gonna write a post personally insulting another memeber for pointing out that Mr Mooore left late last year?
Are you on crack? His post was not in least offensive, but your personally abusive tirade IS offensive.
Far from making yourself look clever, you are infact making yourself seem like the infantile keyboard warrior you are.
There's plenty of ridicu...
Your statements might make more sense over here - but its simply not true in Japan where gaming and gamers are very different to us here.
Online is really not the huge issue it is for us here, and core gamers are as likely to be thrilled ny the WiFit board as their mums are.
I'm not suggesting that the PS3 will not have a great time of it this year in Japan, all the surveys have shown for some time that the japeneese have been waiting for particular software before they...
Hmmm - can't stand Don King.
But I am a sucker for boxing titles.... must resist...
I don't think E.A. are going to lose any sleep over the quality of the graphics engine - it does look a bit last gen..
...and spot another troll convention! :)
Most of the posts in here don't even make sense! What IS the matter with you people?
Anyone complaining that GOW was cr*p plainly hasn't played it. I didn't think it was the holy grail that some claim it is, and I'd prefer more online players, but it was stunning title that sold a lot of hardware.
Obviously evryone on 360 wants the sequal - the current release list lacks clout but this title will be huge.
...
Seriously lame,,, but if its helps to shift titles, then no bad thing.
I want this title, but too much of this might well put me off! :)
You're right of course - any more pointless bickering in here is simply flogging a dead horse.
I may not see eye to eye with you, but at least you had the good grace to accept black and white figures and not simply ignore them as they are inconvienient.
Until I started these replies I was firmly of the believe that 360 owners bought more games, so I was hugely suprised by the figures too.
you should remember I am a 360 owner too.
I'd love to...
You are talking utter bullsh*t I'm afaraid.
For the last year or so I've heard nothing but phrases like 'GOW could not be done on any other machine' and 'this game can only be done with power of 360'. Some of these statements are routinely msade by the developers - like the assetion that 'Splinter cell convictions AI could not be done on the PS3' or Gabe Newall's pathetic rambling anti PS3 outbursts.
So your assertions are provable lies.
Both these platfo...
Are you for real?
A small snippet of an interview it may be, but its by far the most interesting thing I've read today on N4G. As a games artist myself I'm blown away by the revelation that their character models are up to 30K polygons.
That's insane, and for me at least, news I'm actually intrested in instead more fan boy flame bait like most of the poor submissions here.
If you don't find the news interesting, then simply pass it by and leave it to those of us w...
To explain the differences between normal mapping and actualy having more polygons is difficult without showing you pictures!
Imagine a sphere thas fairly low polygon - if you ignore surface deatils for the moment, just looking at the edges, the profile of it as it sits on its background colour, you can see that it's made of straight edges. Increase the number of polygons that constitute the sphere to high level, and theres so many straight edges that the profile looks smooth a...
You sir, are a classic troll in complete denial.
Attach rate for PS3 owners this week was 9.5%, attach rate for 360 was 8%. Thats North American figures. You can't argue with the figures, they are taken from the very source you are linking too, the self same figures that you are quoting. If you wish to look at europe the figures are much worse for 360 attach rates -PS3 is much higher attach rates in the last few weeks in 'others.'
..and you can't claim that this week is...
So attach rates are only important if they favour your 'chosen beacon of shining light'?
Otherwise they are BS? The figures are right there and not open to misinterpretation..
So lets get this straight:- when figuring attach rates, sony need to include the sales of their other hardware sku's, but when looking at hardware sales, they can't include them? Pathetic!!
The thing actually ruining this site, is blind ignorant 'corporation whores' like yourself, wh...
Ahh - the mart! You've been strangely quiet:)I've missed your strange logic..
Yes in the US 360 software outsells PS3 by about 2 to 1. But that's with a 3 to 1 install base!
PS3 owners buy more software than 360 owners.
Thats a simple fact - do the maths.
Ps3 owners have been buying more software for their machines for a long time now, and the attach rates prove it!
You can go back for weeks and check. Don't even think about looking in the re...
I have to post it here too as its a subject I've not seen debated properly.
Software attachement rates! 360 fans have been crying out 'PS3 owners don't buy games' in every thread I've ever seen which has deteriorated into a slagging match.
But no one ever seems to compare weekly sofware attach rates, which is incredibly easy to do - simply divide the number of software sales by the toatal installed base of the machine for each weeks sales figures..
I did t...
I'd be happy too if I could find the correct numbers, and I don't mind what they show at all.
'Where you are wrong is in your interpretation of what this means to the true attach rate.' Errr...I think you'll find that I made no asserertions as to what this means to anything other than last weeks sales - read my reply again, I make statements on last week and nothing else.
This article related purely to last weeks sales, and my reaction was to all the trolls who said things like ...
It really grows on you.. play it a bit more and I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy it, its a well put together campaign mode. Multiplayer is also excellent - theres not too many titles let you have 40 player death matches:) When you consider it was release title, its damn impressive.
Don't like the quality of these scans, but i'm betting the game will be very impressive... they've a learnt a lot about the architecture of the machine since the first ones release..
Good analysis. Nice to read a thourough piece of work without an obvious bias for a change...:)
Theres no reason for anyone to hammer you!
You made some good and thoughtful points and showed little bias.. Thats sufficiently rare enough on these forums for me to bubble you up for taking the time to make thoughtful post.
I think all the machines will have a good year, but its right to question the 360 buisness model. Its strength is obviously the home market, but MS realise that that they need more broad appeal titles to get the real sales jolt they will need to be l...
The 360 version was a dissapointment - so I'm not going to get too excited by a PS3 version.:)
360 goes from strength to strength in its home market and only the trully blind could suggest its had anything but an amazing 2007 in the states, with titles like Halo 3 and Bioshock and ME bringing in substanstial cash for the platform.
The underlying trend is of more concern though. It did ship less machines this year than last, and though it still outsells the PS3 significantly in this market, the ratio is getting ever smaller, and should that continue, the PS3 will start to outsel...
