so an unproven, unknown game, from a relatively small team, with little history other then indigo prophecy is a 'hevier hitter' then a well known franchise, from a competent dev team, with better history, and likely a larger budget.
And taking in the advertising of sony compared to ubisoft/ms, I'm sure that splinter-cell conviction will be the more well known title when all is said and done.
Heavy rain will be a good game, don't get me wrong, but it is clearly a nich...
Because I've heard few 'critics' say anything about which games are 2010 goty, except for him.
I thought odst was fantastic, and if they continue with the improvements I don't see any reason why halo reach wont be the best in the series.
for xbla.
microsoft's advertising for halo reach will be insane, and a lot better then the crap they used for mw2. emeniem or w/e? come on. Not to mention that unlike cod, halo wont be competing against itself, more people will readily move from halo 3 to reach compared to cod4 and cod5 to mw2.
the top half are totals: which include all versions of the games, like modern warfare ps3, xbox, pc combined.
the bottom half are separate platforms: like modern warfare xbox version, or ps3 version separately.
5 xbox 360 and 4 nintendo games in the top 10. It's also nice to see odst still hanging in the top 40.
It's like the game based of the tv show. This game will be so aweseom. triple AAA game right here.
you do know that the people at digital foundry are actual game developers that also post heavily on the beyond 3d forum. They have a very strong programming background and a lot of them are connected to other developers in the field.
They bring up AA so much because it's the most resource intensive post process in real time rendering. Aliasing doesn't just apply to dodgy-looking edges; it can also extend to other artifacts when rendering with texture and shaders, including moir&#...
The only ones they've actually tried are from Bethesda.
"... They lack detail, and the character design and stories are bad."
honestly? You pick up any, ANY, jrpg and I can guarantee that another jrpg will have characters that look the exact same. Character design that's not repetitive imo is a good thing, same goes for the stories.
my point is that even with a higher resolution it's not like the game looks any better. There's a number of examples that could be made for this.
a good looking game will look good because the people developing it are making it look good, not because the fps, resolution or even polygon count.
a good example of poly count is halo vs halo 2
MC actually has less polygons in halo 2 than halo ce.
in the end the resolution and the frame-rate don't really play that heavily into a games appearance. Ie a 640p game at 30fps can look amazing if the art direction, assets and effects pull the game through, and conversely a game with poor art direction that's not polished will look bad even at 1080p with 120fps.

I've heard it changes based on the weapon he uses? Seems a little strange, I'm guessing it has to do with the weapon model and the effects that go along with it?
Either way I hope it's not noticeable, the game looks epic.
There's a ton of new technology out there, and a bunch of new hardware, I want to see what the next iteration of DX will be and there's no better solution then the (Direct)Xbox 720, or the ps4.

Just like one could purchase a high end pc to play certain 360 games, one could also import games released in japan and play them now, or back in 2009.
Mass effect and splinter cell are console (CONSOLE) exclusives, just like ff14 is right now.
And when it comes down to it, the average person (ie not n4gers, gaffers, kotakies) see's i...
half life and counter-strike saved the pc game market after starcraft began to loose popularity, their games (and mod support), and steam, are one of, if not the sole reason why pc gaming still exists today.
Their lighting and rendering model is also the bases for most current engines.
so if I do plan to go nvidia, then see the exact same feature set on the following ati card, at a lower price, I'll be disappointed. Plus I've only ever had bad experiences with nvidia drivers.
The tech demo's were very nice though, really enjoyed seeing the hair modeling via tessellation.
I wonder why MS is labeled under XBOX 360 instead of Microsoft games studio.
hoping to see deus ex 3 this year.
I'll be your friend. *hug*
