The Darkness Interview: PS3 To Get Extra Content

During an interview, lead designer Jens Anderson had several things to say about the PS3 and the Xbox 360. According to Anderson, while the 360 has the lead on the user base, he thinks that by the end of it, the user base will be bigger on the PlayStation3. He adds that he also thinks that by early next year, the 360 will still have a "a pretty good slot coming out."

good ,can`t deny a little extra stuff..themart ,start flamming...

[TheMART]

You can have some extra video and CGI my friend, I'll take the best gameplay and AI ingame. Ok I think we made a nice, friendly agreement didn't we?

[achira]

the mart you are a poooooor lemming !!! loooool

[HiSpeedSoldier61]

DAMN!! the game isn't even OUT yet and TheMart already knows that the 360 version will have superior AI and gameplay. Damn man, why don't you inform me on tomorrows lotto numbers while your at it!!! your a freaking genius (uhh...no, not really, just stupid)

Unless they're averse to making $$$. gCM

So maybe they fit another level or two on the BlueRay. I couldn't care less. It will probably be a "making of" feature, which I never watch anyway.

I read the article and you know what I think ? I think that that man actually said NONE of those things , notice the lack of quotes. I think an unpaid writer for a PS3 site actually bent his words and meaning to fit the article.

extra content is better than non hate it or love it

[DJ]

I swear, Martboy can't seem to stop crying over Blu-ray. All he ever says is "more room for CGI and sloppy coding!" He and RealDeal/SirNathaniel must be best friends or something. Their childish jealousy is hilarious.

If they do release the extra features/level content on Xbox live, that'd be pretty questionable. PS3 users get it for free 'cause their Blu-ray discs are large enough to handle it, while 360 users have to pay up extra because their DVD discs can't? People would just end up buying the PS3 version if that happened. Either way, even a multiplatform developer is welcoming the extra storage capacity, which goes to show that DVD is limiting how much devs can do for their titles.

BTW Mart, more room for coding allows for MORE coding. That's it. Besides, most of the space is for content like textures, models, animation , and sound. Code is tiny. I guess you never learned anything about computer technology, so it's not your fault.

[ASTAROTH]

For movies it may, but its necessary for games. Maybe that is going to be the same with Blue RAY. Just imagine a game like Daxter in a normal cartridge format. IT WONT FIT IN. They will have to cut a lot. CD were not nessesary said NINTENDO way back when they used cartridges. Same with DVD and now BLUE RAY. The truth is that as tech grows developers need more space on the disc, simple as that. They dont want to spend a year of the development cycle just compressing files. WELCOM3 CHANG3!!!!!!!!

[Silent]

This is going to happen to every multi-platform games. It could be cgi, extra levels or maps who knows.

The PS3 is going to get 3xtra stuff, just like the system.

[Lex Luthor]

They've already revealed what the extra content is. there are a few short movies that will play on TVs that you see in the game sometimes. Not worth it in my opinion. Who ever wrote this article is stirring it up.

[TheMART]

HAHAHAAAAA ACHIRA I TOLD YOU SO

PWNED by this post and I even didn't make it too much fun it is

http://www.pwned.nl

And you'll pay 79, 89 up to 100 dollars/euro's for a game just to get some video. Great deal isn't it. I pay 50 to 60 Euro's for the same game, with better gameplay and AI. Isn't live great when you jump in

[PS3sux360inchWiiWii]

What Sony gets on their disc's is no different than what Microsoft gets on their top of the line internet service!

[specialguest]

this may be how a lot of multiplatform games will be like, because of that extra storage space, PS3 versions may get extra content. probally not essential contents though. just think about it as a special edition DVD version.

[TheXgamerLive]

If the content was "neccesary or needed" they'd just add a second disc. Unneccesary content equals better gaming at a lower price. Plus ps3 people will probably get like toyota adds n stuff. Using filler just to say "hey, look how much space we used".

The power of the X is the only way to play.

[Hayabusa 117]

I don't buy this article. If it's an interview, where is the interview? No link, no nothing, just "he said this". Anyone could have writen that.

No doubt it's a good thing, but would it be worth it? It depends on what the extra content is. I doubt It's going to be worth the extra bob, but we'll just have to wait and see.

And yes, that content may be available on XBox Live, and...it may cost anyting to download.

Anyway, I still think this article is fake.

[slugg]

Extra content means making-of videos, art galleries, etc. Extra levels? Doubtful, not worth the time for only one system in a multi-platform release. Remember, by the time this game comes out, 360 will still have AT LEAST a 2 to 1 install base lead over PS3. SO-- instead of a special edition (like Gears of War) coming with an extra dvd for the videos, etc., they put it all on one Blu-Ray. Woo-hoo.
