show absolutely nothing that was not done many years ago (and sometimes better) on the far less powerful PS2 using the Eyetoy (which also had much higher resolution motion capture), believing any claim that Milo is in playable form requires a substantial leap of faith.
Processing precision per frame:
360 Kinect: 76,800 pixels/frame @ 30fps
PS2 Eyetoy: 153,600 pixels/frame @ 30fps or 76,800 pixels/frame @ 60fps
Creates lots of opportunities for creative "kills."
Too bad about the graphics.
although GT5, even without bikes, is reason enough.
I am one of those people who loves bikes but am too wild on the road to not get myself killed.
Sim bikes made to PD's standards of perfection would be incredible. Someone needs to start making a USB or wireless handle bar for bike racing.
While it's true that more 360's have been transferred into customer hands at retail than PS3s, there are more 360s per user than any other console in history.
If you disect the data, it becomes clear that a significant number of 360's "sold" at retail are simply replacements from retailers like Best Buy through paid replacement plans.
Unlike replacements under the manufacturer's warranty, replacement via a replacement plan (such as t...
The relative lack of gruff voices, or bulkiness, or plodding repetition were all reasons for it's downfall. If it had those things it would have been a sure 10.
from Turn10. Not a good idea.
The games should be able to speak for them selves. Resistance 2 had some really amazing tech (massive multiplayer, incredible interactive 3D water, amazing draw-distance) but textures and lighting were inferior to Uncharted 1 which was rendering with just the GPU.
They obviously know how to code for the cell but they also obviously failed to take advantage of the system as a whole.
unlike Turn10 who made the foolish mistake that boasting and acting "bad-ass" was somehow the right strategy to cover up the many flaws in their game.
as it is wonderful.
Why anyone would someone knowingly put themselves through that emotional roller-coaster? How could they not?
This man is the greatest game designer alive.
Therefore it isn't compatible with modern 3D standards used by Samsung, Sony, and others.
However, it does support (like the PS2, GameCube, and Wii) the older 3D display technology which uses tinted paper glasses.
The quality of lighting and shadows is unbelievable.
Perhaps it's the low res photos of a TV, but the level of detail, while much improved, still doesn't seem quite at the same level as Uncharted 2.
People easily forget how ridiculously detailed it was.
In overall technical performance, it's hard to compare. They've both got their strengths. While it's difficult to pick an obvious weakness in either.
that Move is selling that well in Europe. They must have done a lot more advertising than they did here.
I have seen literally zero ads for Move.
As for Kinect, this is surely just Microsoft playing their usual fake "beware of shortages" game to artificially generate some "momentum."
New Microsoft product. Old Microsoft tactics.
The text is literally from a Microsoft ad.
Seems like the fanboys/guerrila marketers are still having their way with N4G.
How many people even know it exists? Maybe it's different in other areas of the US but I haven't seen any ads for it on TV, the news papers, billboards, etc.
but, so is EALouse.
Where Jaffe is right:
Designers, not "hardcore gamers" or "programmers" should design games. Successful products aren't the ones with the longest specification sheet but the ones that provide the best experience to the consumer.
Halo and COD outsell all competitors because they provide their customers with precisely the kind of experience they are looking for. They're terrible if you're ex...
but the infrastructure is simply not good enough at this point.
I took advantage of the trial and, on my (supposedly) 15mbps cable connection, it was pretty dreadful. I could have got used to the lag if it was consistent. The problem was that the lag varied so much. The graphics were better than expected but I'd have been happier with worse graphics in exchange for more reliable streaming.
What's more, since the internet has not been properly reg...
why are all his characters white?
It's the western approach to software development that he dislikes.
God of War and Uncharted, compared to Ico or SOTC, are, obviously, vastly more technically impressive with lots of polygons, shaders and high res textures that make one go "wow," but Ico's environments and atmosphere surpass anything in those technical giants. It's a fundamental difference between westeren and eastern approach to life (...
I keep my Netflix disc in the Wii and it works just fine.
What the PS3 really needs is for the OS to be modernized. The XMB could steal a page from Netflix.
Basically one cheap webcam, another even cheaper webcam, and a little LED stuck together in a shiny black case.
The webcam listed below is $4 (including shipping) and has a much more powerful CMOS sensor as well as more sophisticated in-built processing than what's in Kinect/Natal as well as more LEDs.
This is another well coordinated marketing trick aimed at artificially generating some "momentum" by tapping into the public's lemming mentality.
More and more companies are doing this kind of sleazy tactic is becoming quite common as retailers have started cooperating with manufacturers to mislead the public.
Kinect, being a high profit margin product (costs $10 to manufacture so, at $149, provides massive profit for retailers and Microsoft) is...
but a well designed sound bar can do a pretty good job of creating a spacious feel. Of course, it will never have the precise sound placement of discrete system but there's a company on the east coast that builds sound bars that actually do a pretty good job. Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of the company.
My next home theater system will probably use a sound bar. It doesn't make sense to drill holes in the walls for something that I would use, at mos...
