while the media was busy lapping up every morsel of info about EA's brazen endeavor to take-over Take Two, Sony slipped in through the doggy door and offered Take Two's subsidiary Rockstar an offer they just couldn't refuse. in a couple of days, a gleeful Sony will announce to the world that Rockstar has now joined the ranks of Naughty Dog, Polyphony Digital, Zipper, etc. as a Sony 1st party developer.
in all seriousness though i'd file this under the bogus radar. unless Sony...
i must admit, the whole Jason Bourne angle with this game has somewhat thrown me off. to be honest, now that MGS4 has incorporated an over-the-shoulder control-scheme, i'm more interested in Solid Snake's outing than Sam Fisher's this generation. hopefully Conviction will turn out good though, because nothing would be better than having two completely different but equally good stealth games.
the fact remains that episodic content does matter to some people, and those are the people who will buy the 360 version. i was close to being one of those people myself (preference for Dualshock 3 won out over DLC). i don't necessarily think episodic content will sell systems, but it will sway current owners of both systems. fess up Sony. yeah, you got GT5 Prologue and MGS4, but you lost a wee-bit with GTAIV.
i initially thought this was going to be an unbiased, serious and truthfully technical piece (one i thought would make me switch my reserve from the PS3 to the 360 version), until he started harping about controllers. and thats when i knew it was opinion-based jargoning. battery life and wattage use? come now. the only reason i'd considered getting the 360 version was due to episodic content, but the PS3 version still won me over because of its controller.
as far as graphic...
GAMERS are probably ashamed of gaming because of FANBOYS.
but if it is indeed realtime, then this truly represents a benchmark in computer graphics.
yeah it does; that you can probably support a console for 10 years. i applaud Sony for the PS2, despite its initial Disc Read Error hiccups. up until now, i never realized that the PS2 is the absolute best console i have ever owned, and thats in the face of the NES, SNES, PSOne and 360. PS3 may have gotten off to a rocky start, but if Sony has done anything right after all this, its prove that a console can last longer than the standard 5 year cycle, and that they themselves can possibly e...
they CHOSE to buy over-expensive, stand-alone Blu-ray players instead of waiting for perferctly working, cheaper, better quality Blu-ray players in the form of PS3s to come out a month later.
someone say MLB 2K8? sorry. i was busy playing The Show.
yeah. my bad. i just noticed that. didn't know Australian gamers were paying such a premium for systems.
am i the only one who noticed the $700 price for the Elite 360. i could be wrong (i have a Pro 360), but doesn't the Elite 360 cost something like $480? thats like an additional $200 just for GTA IV. even if it was the Special Edition GTA IV with the duffle bag, it still wouldn't add up to $700. there must be something else to this offer.
i've heard graphics don't matter before, and i say such statements are bologna. framerate falls within the graphics catagory, and as anyone who's played Madden 08 on the PS3 and the 360 can attest to, its that framerate does impact gameplay. as does screen tearing and other graphical glitches (like sudden texture and object pop-ins), as they can mar the gameplay experience.
also, likening fun-gameplay to Wii exclusively, and gorgeous-graphics to the PS3 and 360 is a little sh...
absurd claims like these, Resident Evil 5, and even the PSP add a year or so ago pisses me off, simply because it undermines genuine concerns of racism where said racism actually exist.
yeah, the fanboy kiddies turned me off of this site for a while. but things seem a lot more civil and mature here now, and i'm so glad for it. sure, everyone has their preference when it comes to games and consoles, but there's no need to bash and insult.
the recent fps rave seems to be centered most around CoD4 and Halo 3, but personally i thought Bioshock and Portal were both thoroughly more enjoyable, and neither wholeheartedly encouraged killing to reach the main goal. on a whole i do think the fps genre has become stagnant, and after games like Uncharted, Resident Evil 4 and Gears of War, i much prefer 3rd person shooters. just my personal opinion.
yeah, i'm not into simulators either. but still, i think GT5 Prologue looks just a hair better, especially in the car models. both games look good though, and sport the best graphics seen in a racer (or any game) to date.
that a loser fanboys would do something like that is just sad; that most of you would cheer them on is just plain pathetic. it speaks volumes about the immaturity that plagues this site. i know i've had my share of verbal arguments with most of the posters on this site (most Microsoft fanboys, but some Sony fanboys as well), but stuff like this seriously makes me consider not even coming to this site.
a well formulated assessment, one that's about as true and as accurate as any unbiased gamer could hope to write, and one that should please ALL camps. so i ask myself: why do we argue about which is better? in the end it's all about fun gaming. Game on Gamers!
for starters i'm not trying to argue with you. i personally hardly even like racers (Ridge Racer least of all). however, you are COMPLETELY missing the point. YOU don't care about Sony, YOU don't like the PS3; so WHY are you worrying about it's rushed racer that few people will even play? true, this topic isn't about GOW; Sony fanboys are bringing it up to prove the point that such glitches exist in ALL games, from rushed racers to graphical masterpieces; it just seems that this point was...
Last Remnant is multiplatform. PS3 also has White Knight Chronicles, which looks fantastic. however, Fable 2's where it's at, at least as far as 360 rpg's go. i'm looking forward to Fable 2 about as much as GOW2, which says a lot.
