Our groins suitably girded, we return once more to the great cross-platform console development debate with the latest in our ongoing face-off comparison coverage. As if you didn't know by now, the aim here is to supplement existing Eurogamer reviews with console-specific commentary, backed up with a range of 'assets' losslessly extracted from the hardware during our testing.
This is achieved with the now ubiquitous Digital Foundry TrueHD capture kit, the only equipment in the world capable of ruthlessly plundering the HDMI ports of the respective consoles at full 24-bit RGB precision. Literally every single piece of digital information pumped out by the hardware is ours - ours I tell you - and from there we can supply ultimate quality screenshots and comparison videos.
Round 13 includes:
Unreal Tournament 3
Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy
Top Spin 3
Iron Man
Battlefield: Bad Company
RDR 1 was a great game, but the lack of screen time for some characters, boring horse riding, and lack of mission variety takes away the fun at times.
Yeah
It's as good as you remember
Feels like one of those "10 HARSH realities of Re-watching" articles
Been watching season 4 of The Boys and find Firecracker's face familiar? As a gamer, where you know her from might surprise you.
I did have one of those "where do I know her from...?" feelings.
It's funny how a different hair style changes a person. I saw some pictures of her with short or blond hair and it made me remember Kara, but making her a redhead AND with long hair, just bugged my brain.
Here's hoping her character survives until the end of the show (even though her character is a horrible person).
The only image from the show in my mind is the multiplying dudes eating each others butts in the sauna
Valorie Curry is her name... not sure why that's not even in the short summary. Why is this gaming news though?
I couldn't for the life of me remember what I remembered her from and then I saw The Tick in her acting credits. That's why she looked so familiar. I loved that short lived Amazon show.
Fans who pine for the days of Naughty Dog’s Jak and Daxter are in for some good news, as the complete series is now playable on PS5 with trophy support. This isn’t just the trilogy either, as the PSP games and Jak X are also available, so hardcore Jak fans can now relive these great titles.
Underrated? J&D was one of the most popular IPs at the time, quite literally the face of the ps2 beside God of War
Would love to see a open world Jak 4 on the PS5, would be amazing, but I know ND said they'd never do it.
Seeing jak&d left in the past like that really makes me appreciate nintendo even more for atleast keeping mario, zelda, metroid, and others around while making em still feel fresh, Playstation should have another gem besides astroboy and ratchet&clank
i wouldnt call jack and daxter underrated.
its a beloved franchise that pretty much was one of the biggest games on the ps2 and psp
360 = 13
PS3 = 0
Where are all the Sony goons?
Eurogamer, you fail hard.
Unreal3 uses the exact same texture assets on both systems,(i know people who work with the devs)
As you state the versions of bad company, have the same texture details, but what your messed up eyes can't tell is that, the 360 is darker all the time, making it appear to have more detail(idiots)with different colours.
I know Eurogamer, is actually run by a silent ms corp, i'll say no more.
YOU FAIL HARD EACH AND EVERY TIME.
these chickens will squawk all the way to the slaughterhouse... enjoy it, because come Xmas you'll be on Sony's plate
I knew that the PS3 would take a year,maybe 18 months to get into its stride so developers knew how to utilise the hardware effectively.
Thus i knew that the multi plat titles up until this point my be slightly superior on the 360.
Why is it that after a decent 'bedding in period' the multi plat titles are more often than not still coming out better on the 360.
When is the CELL going to shine on these multi plats.
Is it bad/lazy developers (every developer in the world it seems) or is the PS3 really not as powerful as hyped?
