Graphics are pretty much on par where:
"It's safe to say that the main artifact you'll notice was one that was very prominent indeed in the multiplayer demo. Certain transparencies are handled in a much more visually pleasing way on PlayStation 3."
"A "screen door" dither effect on some foliage, most obvious in the snow levels, looks a touch rough on Xbox 360 while it is not an issue at all on PlayStation 3."
While some water effects ...
Don't really care! Pretty pathetic how everyone keeps over hyping the situation (Michael Jackson anyone?). How about people concentrate on his game (which is still fantastic btw)?
I was hoping for console parity considering that Ubi had been advertising AC II with the PS3 (used the PS3 game for previews and advertising). Although even as it seems the 360 version is better, I will still get this for PS3 as i'm scared of the RROD! Anyway might I recommend a better comparison sight? Eurogamer's Face Offs are alot more in depth and seem more objective in their breakdowns between the consoles!
As FF in Japan is exclusive for the PS3... Though regardless wouldn't dlc be hard to integrate into a JRPG? Perhaps its avatar or dashboard stuff?
set a limit on what's morally acceptable in games. Especially now, as video games start to become a more mainstream form of expression. And in regards to this particular scene, I don't think it pushes any "moral boundary" that hasn't already been crossed by another medium. For example in the film "flight 93" it shows terrorists boarding a plane headed for the white house. Now you might argue that there is a distinction between a film and a game in which you can control the...
So I don't know what the fuss is all about. How about we talk about Dragon age origins it's multiplat... ? Anyone? On a side note i'm sick of every single Xbox exclusive that's coming out being hyped to oblivion by the media! First it was Forza 3, then Splinter Cell, then Shadow Complex (prefer metroid on GBA), and now this "ME2 tech impress"? lol you'd of thought nothing was coming out multi or for the PS3.
I've had a ps2 fat for 6 years (2001 - 2007) until i gave it away. And a PS3 since early 2007 40gb model and never ever had a problem.... As opposed to my 360 which suffered the rrod once. Perhaps you guys need to take better care of your console/s? Hmmm?
"Hirai’s Networked Products & Services Group, which makes Sony’s PlayStation game machines, Vaio computers and Walkman media players, posted a 39.7 billion yen loss, compared with profit of 4.6 billion yen a year earlier, because of lower software sales and the stronger yen, Sony said in a statement."
"June sales PlayStation 3 plunged 59 percent, while the total revenue in the U.S. game market tumbled 31 percent, NPD Group Inc. said July 16."
Haha it would be strange seeing spiderman, and James Bond released as a Columbia picture (Sony) and only seeing the game released for the Xbox & Nintendo...
Anyway there are enough games for the PS3 to warrant a purchase as of now seeing as I am currently a multiplatform owner and have more PS3 games than 360 ones atm!
But honestly I am more interested in the DD... After having Resistance R, Final fantasy VII, Crisis Core UMD, and crash bandicoot with my PSP all the time is fantastic!
But honestly that being the case why would anyone only owning one console care? If anything PS3 owners probably shouldn't purchase crappy ports and 360 owners should stop parading about the minor benefits of the 360 (as they have other things to worry about like RROD (experienced myself btw), paying for live, loud noises e.t.c.)
Personally as I own both consoles I tend to only buy multiplat games that are equal/indistinguishable between the two e.g. Prince of Persia, Far cry 2,...
It seems you love Forza... and that's ok! But seriously how can you say that your the "definitive racing game" or that "nothing can touch us" when you don't try to give us as many options as the nearest alternative GT..?
Hell I would be interested in Rally & Nascar over what TIRE FLEX??? "We have all the tire brands!" Well whoop-dee-doo that's a real gam changer right there!
Haha just goes to show Microsoft can sell anything to blind ...
As I have said before it kept me occupied for maybe a month but I felt like it didn't have the scope of a GT game.
Hell! I played GT3 on PS2 on and off from 2001 well until 2007! Haha I didn't ever buy GT4 because I felt compelled to own all the cars + finish all the races of GT3!
Unfortunately Forza 2 didn't have the same effect lol maybe it was the soundtrack? Or the bumper car AI who whenever they make contact throw you well of the bitumen! So anyway now a year after I receiv...
Anyone else hate the wandering around the base missions? E.g. The assembling of the mines or the kill/not kill scenarios?
Do you think its to much to ask for the old Sam mission based scenarios leading to the eventual saving of the world?
Forza 2 was fun for the first month after I got it with my Xbox (bundled with Viva Pinata) but I have to admit it gets old very quickly.... A few problems I encountered included:
Cheap/dumb AI - If an opponent hits you your usually tossed right of the track.
The grading system ruins the driving/skill factor - I know what your going to say that I probably have no skill but honestly it makes it to easy!
The cars look decent but the backgrounds look awful ...
They should release peripherals for this device to further enhance the experience that maybe like a controller/gun peripheral that allows you to play FPS games where it monitors your movements - Duck/roll e.t.c but the controller would allow you to walk!
Although I think this is fantastic I question how expensive this device will cost with the sheer number of sensors.... Maybe MS should release a slimmer Xbox and Natal bundle?
Ubisoft why don't you just say "everything but the Playstation 3"
It's multiplatform remember? Therefore it will probably run better on the 360! So I guess people shouldn't expect visuals that trump Killzone! Or an FPS exclusive on the 360 that looks as good as...
Oh wait...
Personally I think Cod4 was overhyped out of existence! Great game but I wouldn't consider it a classic by any stretch of the imagination. Its probably as popular as it is because it requires absolutely no skill to play much in the same vein as Halo.
Actually God of War has a lot more content outside of just the main single player campaign. For example the challenge modes, character skins, and challenge items all add plenty of additional hours to play! 20 hours and still going!
Anyway SCC seems ok but for the short campaign 5 hours? + I dont have LIVE makes it a tough buy....
Am I the only one that liked conviction lol?
