[QUOTE="virtuas"]ANOTHER MULTIPLAT PROVING THAT PS3 IS A BETTER PLATFORM FOR GAMESlolkie_81

Doesn't it say "for once" right in the review?

Well yeah, most multiplat games look identical :)

If there is a trend of ps3 multiplat games looking better, I might start believing the ps3 is more powerful. I have always thought they were equal.

Nope, there is no trend. And wait until the game is out before following sony's own personal magazines instructions blindly.

[QUOTE="virtuas"]ANOTHER MULTIPLAT PROVING THAT PS3 IS A BETTER PLATFORM FOR GAMESAl3x_n90

the proof is from 'PLAY - The UK's longest running PlayStation Magazine'. What a good source.

So a playstation magazine as said it looks better?? :lol:

I think we will find out from gametrailers in a weeks time which is bettter.....

It was the only source...anyway we'll find out indeed :P anyway they said it looks better when it's in HD, 720p and up and GT's HD vids aren't of that high rez, i would buy the game for both systems but i don't have enough money :P

So, playstation mag said its better on playstation... but i mean those mags are meant to be bias to help sell consoles. Therefore, not fact anymore. I will wait and see side by side comparison by someone "reliable"

I put 100's of hours into the other GTA games, and i played the very first ones a lot too, but i'm just not enjoying GTA 4 at all. I can't even bring myself to finish it.

I just don't find it fun.

[QUOTE="Pelon208"]

And getting back to topic GeOW looks and plays awesome

LibertySaint
yeah but it doesn't look good compared to todays standard, the start of this gen was getting the enviorment and textures and the middle of this gen is to refine that becase on console u can't make leaps and bounds better graphics like u can on pc.

What exactly ARE today's "standards"? I mean, Gears is today's standards, it set the bar, and everythign had to try and beat it, and most failed. True, there is maybe one or two games that look better, but then comes gears 2 and resets that bar to whole notha level!! Gears is also very fun to play on top of the great graphics, and i'm glad gears 2 expands on that with better frame rates, more objects on screen, better lighting, water physics, instancing of enemies and so on so forth...

I really feel sorry for Cows

If Microsoft see an exclusive they want on another system they stop at nothing to get it

Sony just act like they dont want it and keep pumping out crappy first/second party games

yoshi-lnex

lol I can almost agree, althought I think interview was kinda bound to fail. It's like some other poster said, if he said he would like Gears, Sony would be bashed for looking desperate. If he said bullet to the head... well... yeah, lol.

But yeah, and what's worse than them acting like they dont care is when they keep pumping out first and second party games and promote them forever and act as if they dont even have multiplat games on the system. I mean, I've seen LBP commercials since last Christmas and the game hasnt even come out yet, but hardly saw any Sony marketing for GTAIV. Kinda crazy. Oh, and even with MGS4. The only tv ad I've seen for it includes GT5P and LBP. WTF? It's like they're saying, "Here, buy this game worthy of a multimillion dollar campaign but we're going to be cheap and only include 5 seconds of it into this 30 second commercials with LBP and GT5P."

/rant.

It's kind of a good strategy though. Let Microsoft do your advertising for you. You would see 100 NHL 08 commercials an hour here in Canada, lots of COD4, GTA4 ones, MS spent all this money marketing them and in the end, people bought them for whichever console they owned or bought the one they were predisposed to. I don't think anyone is watching commercials going "oh I need a 360 to play GTA". In the end it's free marketing for games they don't really need to market anyway.

They should have been much more aggressive with MGS4, I agree, because this game really delivers the goods and holds up to scrutiny.

In defense of their marketing with LBP, I will give them carte blanche. LBP doing well means a lot for the industry, not just PS3, and as far as I'm concerned they can do whatever it takes to get this one to as many people as possible. If LBP fails I might just quit gaming for life, and not because it's an exclusive or some nonsense. If LBP fails and Cooking Mama turns a profit gaming as we know it is done for.

people did buy gta for the 360 at a 2 to 1 ratio...and games tend to sell better on the 360.

True.

This is not about Gears 2. Original Gears, calm down.

When is the last time anyone actually played GeOW? How could you help but notice Marcus' square neck, his jaggy elbow, the persistent meshy layer of "static" all over everything that the Unreal Engine brings to every small texture (UT3 was the worst for it). How about the occasional screen tears and framerate dips? The textures and the way light hits them are what give people a boner, but beyond that the technical side of it looks pretty dated right now.

I have been mentioning Gears as still in contention for graphics champ (behind Uncharted and Metal Gear) as well, but I recommend to anyone doing the same that you dust the game off and pop it in. It's really not so impressive now. It still holds up pretty nicely in screenshots, but playing the actual game again, I was less than bowled over by how good it looks. It has finally shown it's age, and if you are still touting it as console graphics champ, you might want to play it again.

Those character models just don't hold weight anymore. It looks like a Something About Mary accident took place in his hair.

Don't take this as some kind of slam at the game (or at Gears 2, Gears 2 will OWN), I just think it needs to stop being mentioned for it's graphics since it truly is behind the times now. To be fair, I played Uncharted again and don't feel that it measures up to Metal Gear at all. There are a lot of minor flaws and technical hiccups that only became apparent after I played something as technically proficient and polished as MGS4.

I stopped reading once you said worse than MGS4. Also, it looks great in motion even better than screenshots. Obviously coming from a sony boner.

I would call it the Micrendony Playboxii. It would be a black and white console that is as big as a cookie and has the graphics of a computer made 10 years in the future from now. It would be simple to program for, and make money right from day one. It will sell for $99 but be made from quality parts. the online is free but never crashes and never lags. If you have hardware problems on it, you get your money back AND a new console. The first party games would be so new, they would blow up your head just to think about thinking about the idea of them. The controller would be a 360 controller, with full motion features, and pointing features, and splits into two seperate controllers for multi hand motion controls. They'd also be pressure sensitive, and have force feedback instead of rumble. and last but not least, it'd make enough moeny for me to retire as well as my entire family tree.

[QUOTE="killzowned24"]

R1 model looks better imo.

And gears2 looks to be real jaggie.

crunchUK

are you kidding? :| i saw resistance running in the shop and i swore it was a ps2 game :|. whereas gears 1 was a complete graphical snogging. and i ifrst saw gears after i saw resistance :|. safe to say a 2006 game is still in debate as the console graphics king, what does that tell you? :roll:

You make a good point, if a 2006 game is still being considered as graphics king, and everything gets compared to it, well that shows it really WAS king, and i don't see any reason why the sequel won't bring that reign back.

I know this thread is almost a year old, but i mean, one day MGS4 will ahve a similar thread and we'll go "oh yeah, i remember when cows thought they had a good console, but look at it now, dust collector."
