General gaming news

[BRP]

I'm suddenly reminded why console wars are so stupid. Both(er, or all three?) sides look stupid, throwing fallacy after fallacy after each other.

[Mysterio]

Will Wright has his opinion, just like everyone else.

It all boils down to the individual I guess.

[Tecora]

thinking about getting a ps3; but does it or any games support custom soundtrack similar to the 360? i.e play music on HDD while in game? sorry for the random question X)

[izembo]

no it doesnt

[Xavier]

He made fun of your systems and now you're upset, its understandable.

Hey, look, another proud Wii owner.

Sup NES, Gameboy, SNES, Genesis, Sega CD, N64, GBA, Playstation, Gamecube, Playstation 2, Xbox, DS, Xbox 360, Wii, and eventually PS3.

Just callin them like I see 'em. Nothing pisses somebody off like belittling their purchases.

[Mysterio]

not yet it doesnt

fixed lol

[izembo]

theres never been an official announcement saying that it would fully support it like that, so theres no reason to believe it

[Mysterio]

Currently it doesn't but it's one of the most requested on the feedback on the playstation blog.

If it's so highly regarded amongst the users they're bound to do it eventually.

Not really a shot at you specifially Xavier, but the whole owning all consoles excuse for knocking certain platforms (Sony in particular) is kinda old.

Doesn't make it any less valid.

[Mysterio]

maybe not necessarily in this one instance but in general yes

Sure Anderian took it awefully personally what Will Wright said,

but this comment was only intended to start a fight:

And then playing the "I own all brands of consoles" card to justify agitating him, lol


Then again I guess nothing really needs justification in this thread.

[Xavier]

And then playing the "I own all brands of consoles" card to justify agitating him, lol.

If you go back and read, you'll see that pointing out I've owned every console wasn't to justify agitating him, but just to show that I didn't agitate him because I'm a "proud Wii owner". Rather, I'm just a gamer with no allegiance to a system.

Generally speaking, its the people who only buy one console that are the quickest to take criticism very poorly, as if they've been personally insulted. If owning every system doesn't make you more objective, I don't know what does.

And yes, getting your panties in a bunch because Will Wright said your system wasn't next-gen screams of fanboy. If you want me to justify my comment, I'll go ahead and do so, and it has nothing to do with "owned every system".

I don't think Mr. Wright knows what the term next generation means. What I meant was; next generation quite literally means NEXT GENERATION. As in, PlayStation 3 is next generation in PlayStation line. What the fuck is this shit about "true next generation"?

Thats one interpretation of "next gen", but I highly doubt he'd say the PS3 wasn't next-gen if it had been called something other than PS3.

What actually makes Wii more of a next generation console than PS3 or X360? Because it's not named Gamecube 2? Because it has a shit ton of games directed at old people, little kids and gaming newbies? Because it's not a huge step techically from Gamecube and is proud of it?

Again with the naming of a system as if that has anything to do with next-gen? Also, bashes the Wii for its graphics, cool.

So you'll excuse me when I'm not gonna stand here idly as some asshole decides FOR ME that Wii is somehow superior to my chosen consoles because it's directed at a different player base.

Flat out states that his consoles of choice are the ones being criticised, and calls the critic an asshole for doing so.

So yeah, I don't really see how my comment, "He made fun of your systems and now you're upset, its understandable" is really unsubstantiated by his comments. Nor do I see how, in response to his claim that I'm a proud Wii owner, I pointed out that my remarks have nothing to do with the Wii. I wasn't going to go into these specifics and really attack the comment but since you called me out for saying I've owned multiple systems, whatever.

Graphics is more than just 'looks pretty'. If a game can handle a 500+ characters on screen, it will provide a new experience than 40 or less.

If you're facing an army of 100 or an army of 1000, the only difference is going to be the number of times you have to press x to kill them all.

Unless you change the way you play games, more enemies might make for a more epic and cinematic game, but it isn't going to change the fundamental gameplay. I understand what you're saying, and don't get me wrong, graphics can def. change the way a game is played, but if the only advancement is instead of 100 enemies in Dynasty Warrior at a time, you have 500, you haven't really done much in terms of a leap forward in gameplay.

[Mysterio]

crossing my fingers they don't fuck up COD4 for the PS3.

It doesn't look like it from the screens I've seen, but nothing can be confirmed yet.

Don't let us down Infinity Ward, lol

Why would they fuck it up? >.>

It's fine, on par with the 360 release. From a COD4 code monkey

There are minor visual differences between the 360 and PS3 versions, due to the platforms being extremely different from an architectural standpoint. This results in us having to make different tradeoffs on both platforms to hit our framerate targets. They're very nearly identical, but you'll be able to pick screenshots in which both versions are "clearly" the better version. They're as close as we could make them without going completely batcrap insane (though whether or not we are already completely batcrap insane is a matter of some debate.)

Tradeoff example: Shadow filtering. We use different techniques on PS3 and 360 to filter shadow edges, which gives them a bit of a different look. I think it's a matter of taste as to which way looks better, but we did it that way because it was the most efficient way to do it on both platforms that yielded a look that was good enough.

What you should worry about is MGS4 getting delayed to Q2 2008.

rofl @ mgs... this is really lame, they keep teasing everyone with these videos, then they end up pushing the date further and further away.

Yeah, the length of the timed exclusive will shrivel to nothing at this rate.

[Xavier]

Delayed games suck, but in the case of MGS4, I'd rather wait a few more months and have a perfect game than release it early and just be good.

[Exoduso]

I guess that's true... doesn't mean it's not frustrating though.

[SephYuyX]

Yeah, I never complain about delayed games; it's better to wait and play a finished game, than play an early, unfinished, rushed, crappy game.
