or is it going to cost me 4 extra bucks

electricshadow4998d ago

Ha, I agree. I really couldn't care less about it not having grass or cloth movement. It's just that 2K is obviously too lazy properly port. I was going to purchase this game day one, but now, it's just a rental. It makes me wonder why games like Uncharted 2 can come out last year and still look even better than this game. Before anyone says to me, yes, I know ND is a first party developer and 2K is not. That's still a poor excuse. I won't support developers that take shortcuts on a version of a game, even if it is a multiplat.

Wow are you guys serious? Grass means about as much to my gameplay as farting means to the overall outcome of my day, that is to say not at all. This game looks really good from all angles and I wouldn't pass on it just because of something as trivial as grass, grow up!!!

whothedog4998d ago

@hitman

Well I agree that if it is that great of a game that having no grass shouldn't be a big deal but on the other hand, if fans keep eating up games where the devs are taking shortcuts or giving the bare minimum, than they will continue to do so and think they can always get away with it.

They also are giving exclusive DLC but why not use those resources to get it up to par with other platforms.

Personally I probably won't play this game, doesn't look bad but I am just not that interested, and all the grass in the world won't change that :)

@hitman

wow, grass iz seriouz biznez. you're not trolling at all realli. grass merely accounts to a missing texture, it's not really a big deal at all. that's like suing rockstar for making gta 4 sub hd on the ps3. it's merely a technical deficiency, not a game breaker.

ChronoJoe4998d ago

Actually despite being sub HD on PS3, rockstars GTA is technically superior on PS3 with a greater draw distance, and framerate. With the sad fact being that people had to count the pixels of the PS3 version to tell that it was of low resolution, proves that people simply can't see the visual difference in minor differences in resolution.

This however, is missing grass. There's no good way to look at it, it sucks. Grass is one of the most common textures in the game, and it's missing. Presumably exactly because it's one of the most common textures in the game, but pathetic none the less.

However. I don't think it will ruin the experience, and I don't think it will effect the experience of those who aren't aware what should be there in the grasses place. What will bug me, will be looking at it and thinking somethings off, every time.

And this is why, for me. Mafia II went from a first day purchase, to a month down the road purchase. I probably would have still bought it if I wasn't strapped for cash, too right now, but the grass was enough tip me over on buying later than sooner.

So the point being, yes it does make a difference, and I'm not trolling since I own a PS3 only. I just care about grass texture, I would rather have the grass there, than the extra DLC content.

Bioshock still looks fantastic, one of my all time favorites.

Yui_Suzumiya454d ago

Beyond: Two Souls on PS3 can compete with modern day graphics.

SonyStyled453d ago (Edited 453d ago )

Same as Killzone 2 and 3, uncharted 2 and 3, Infamous 2, Heavy Rain, Resistance 3

jasonismoney453d ago

I wish this was entirely true, but you might want to load up Killzone 2 and Resistance 3 again.

SonyStyled453d ago

@jason I watched some gameplay videos of KZ2 and R3 on my full screen. They are on par or succeed graphically to the first person shooters mentioned in the article that also launched on the seventh generation of consoles. Try the same and see what you think

cthulhucultist453d ago

Killzone 3 was super impressive! I could not believe the graphics back then as I was regularly pausing the game to stand in awe looking at the surroundings! Resistance however did not impress me that much. Heavy rain is also another amazing graphically speaking game. It almost felt next gen

Fist4achin454d ago

I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.

SonyStyled453d ago

They did for their day. I recently played gears judgement with on the 360 and the draw distance was so blurry. The characters up close look great though

JEECE453d ago

Far Cry 2 was awesome. In addition to having demonstrably better physics and AI than later games in the series, it had a lot of design decisions that, criticized at the time, have since been praised in games like BOTW and Dark Souls.

iNcRiMiNaTi453d ago

It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good

JEECE453d ago

In terms of art style it still holds up.
