Kotaku: PS3 Breeding Game Has PS2 Level Graphics?

Kotaku reviewed the video for the "Breeding" strategy RPG, Record of Agarest War on the ps3 and had this to say:

"You call this a PS3 game? Sure, we're watching a bad quality internet upload and should really see it first hand, but still. This doesn't even try to push what the hardware is capable of! "Breeding" strategy RPG Record of Agarest War looks more at home on the PlayStation 2 than the PLAYSTATION 3. And even for a PS2 game, it looks cheap. And crappy."

I've never heard of this game.

lonestarmt6068d ago

i have, it looks pretty cool, its an rpg and and the ps3 needs some. Screw this guy, i bet he doesn't think very highly of diseaga either. I love next gen graphics, but their is nothing wrong with 2d, drawn characters. I know its a required taste, but thats what it is, not cheap and crappy, go play a next gen FPS kotaku.

artman6068d ago

it's possible, that they a bunch of geeks and a big fans of MS, nor get paid by MS.

everything about ps3 looks crappy, this is what happen when geeks make a review games.
by the way, kotaku (otaku=geek in japanese) but for sure they have different taste of otaku

midgard2296068d ago

nothings wrong with 2d games, look at odin sphere, disgaea and soul nomad, amazing games and they're 2d, 2d games are different and still very fun, sure 3d graphics are great and can be fun but so can the oldschool 2d. aslong as the 2d doesnt look like a snes game thats fine,

hey wasnt this the game that u have to find a girl to marry then u have a succesor who takes ur place, which is ur son, and he or she becomes is different depending on the girl u marry? like her race and hair color, good or evil???

Douchebaggery6068d ago

i agree that complaining because a game is 2d on ps3 is retarded but there a big difference between beautiful 2d like odin's sphere cheap 2d like soul nomad

Seraphim6068d ago (Edited 6068d ago )

I Strongly Agree!! Gaming shouldn't be about the next greatest thing. ie: PS3/360 with their graphical, physics, etc capabilities. There's nothing wrong with a game like Dragon Quest VIII/Rogue Galaxy, Disgaea, Odin Sphere, or even Okami style game on the PS3 or 360. Every style and type of game should be represented. And just as important as the big mega titles like Bioshock, Killzone 2, Assassins Creed, are the games like Disgaea, Shin Megami Tensei, etc. These games should co-exist with the modern marvels on next gen consoles. Granted, in HD, but their style should be represented. Matter of fact look at Disgaea 3 even. It's nothing more than PS2 Disgaea in High Definition. I certainly wouldn't and won't be complaining about that. It'll be the 3rd Disgaea title I buy on day ONE...

sandip7876068d ago

no offence but this does look like it could be done on ps2, or even ps1 for that matter. not that im a graphics whore, but it just doesnt look all that to me

lonestarmt6068d ago

if your not, then why doest it matter to you?? lol its an 2d rpg, some people just don't like those games. This review of the video is the perfect example on whats going wrong with reviews these days. You got a guy reviewing that obvious doesn't understand how the whole genre thing works. Get fans of the games to review it.

sandip7876068d ago

what the hell do you mean 'doesnt matter to you'?.
im open to all games, so dont tell me what i should and shouldnt be looking at on my favourite console..
yeh your right, im not big on the whole 2d rpg scene, but so what, does this mean i cant have an opinion?
btw i said im NOT a graphics whore, meaning i dont play games for graphics, which is surely how you need to think when playing these games.
and i dont really think i reviewed it, i merely said it doesnt look all that, but im sure that if i ever had to review the game then i may enjoy it. god im sick of genre fanboys who hate on those who dont know as much about it....

lonestarmt6068d ago

what the hell do you mean"god im sick of genre fanboys who hate on those who don't know as much about it.... " jj I was just saying if graphics aren't that important to you then you wouldn't have said it looks like a ps1 one game. It just sounded like you weren't a fan of the genre. Which is ok, no one is telling you to like it. In fact I said that in my post I think. lol. The reason fans of a certain genre do that to people who don't know or understand it or whatever you want to call it, is because they are sick of them bashing the game or giving it a bad review when obviously there not a fan of the genre to begin with, so they really shouldn't have say on anything about the game. Not saying you are, but there a lot of ignorant people out there, who think only there opinion matters.

sandip7876068d ago

ok man sorry for being a bit aggresive :)
i get defensive when anyone says anything about MGS lol
and i do agree with you on the review thing, it should be people that know about the series reviewing it, not people who dont know about/dislike it.

lonestarmt6068d ago

hey man, NP. I didn't mean to come of calling you anything. I agree i can get defensive too. MGS is sacred to me too! giving you a bubble !!

sandip7876068d ago (Edited 6068d ago )

lol thanks man, bubbles right back at ya :)

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow4d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1823d ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie2d ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere2d ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow1d 23h ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Cockney1d 17h ago

They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.

RNTody3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno3d ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno3d ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii2d ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno2d ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
