See the difference between the two titles in this comparison video, inside the same stadium with the same teams, using the same plays.
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "When it comes to video game lineups none get as much as attention as the launch lineup that accompany a new piece of hardware. But what about the last games? That's the topic for this week's Top 10 as we'll be looking at the very last games to grace their respective consoles. "
I remember buying FFIX on PSN because I was looking for swan song PS1 titles to enjoy on PS3
10 Years Ago This Month: Sony's sales pitch as the powerful system took a hit when EA had to explain why Madden 08 on PS3 was noticeably worse than the Xbox 360 version.
The cpu was hard to work for 3rd party, butt the cell was really powerfull and fast. It wasnt just pr or secret sauce. Uc2 and killzone 2 were amazing. But 3rd party want money. They also problems with the ram. Only first party was able to make huge jumps from first gen games to second gen. It was an expensive console but the tech was much more powefull at launch then this gen.
Wasn't this already established in 2006? Online Sony's first party studios took advantage of the cell.
" was PS3 hard to Develop for?"
Here we go again , they been saying this since mid 2006-2007ish . of course the CPU was hard to work with but the Cell was fast and powerful .
Next year Article : " was PS4 to Easy Develop for ?" slow day in office ?
P.S . over last few years N4G been Repeating same subject matter with Slightly different title, same old subject .
I would hate to be a writer busting my brain to come up with a New lie to draw readers interest end up repeating 2006 article again .
I would not say "hard" to develope... but it went against the norm and it also threatened a well established pc archetype of which many in the pc business was against. Not with ill intent, but to try and change the way digital hardware works... it is huge mountain to climb against a well established pc design.
A lot of third party studios kind of just did not try because they did not want to support the change.
It went beyond just gaming with the backlash of sonys cell design.
Sony has always tried to push innovation and sometimes they miss or go to far against the norm and fail. Like betamax vs VHS. Betamax was the superior hardware but they lost that battle as well.
It is why Microsoft created the competition. They were getting beat in so many ways and their monopoly was getting threatened by everyone. Apple, Google, etc etc. Microsoft had to fight back to try save their dwindling sales. Lose the hardware, you lose the os.
Luke looks at the most influential features of Madden on the PS3 and Xbox 360.
That's EA for ya.
.
wow...thats pathetic...that shows you what EA is really made of...plus there is shadow pop-in in 09...so it's even worse than 08...I keep saying it...boycott this motherf*ckers!
All they did was add different texture and slapped on a different code of paint. Where's the different tackles, QuarterBack FPview, Crowd interaction, different Animation for the sideline/Cheerleaders and most important of all, the freaking run game.
The animations seem like an upgrade to me. Overall the visuals seem better. The shadows are much improved and the lighting gives the game a more realistic look to it. It could be argued whether the characters sport more polygons. Here is hoping that Madden this year is more than a simple retooling and has other things different aside from graphics.
