I didnt see what the big fuss is about. Ran like SHAT on my computer, with or without patches. Turned off dynamic lighting, helped a bit but the game got progressively slower and slower, memory leak possiby? Who knows.
I hated the way the guns handled, and the look of the people in general...
Don't know if its been said or not.. But the GT:HD Demo is not representative of GT5. GT:HD, if I recall correctly, is just the GT4 engine with higher polygon count models and textures. GT5 is supposed to have full damage modelling etc which GT:HD does not support.
Rofl what eye candy can his not do? Have you seen the game? It is NOTHING special... and if you turn on the "eye candy" (dynamic lighting) your FPS goes to shit! Then there's the constant CTD's, freezing, etc.
Grab a good HDTV and watch discovery channel's HD and tell me you don't see a difference. :rolleyes: My friends say the same thing till they see the comparison from a 480i/p digital discovery feed then my HD feed (same TV, speaker setup, everything)
I just setup my new PC, installed the drivers, set up the HD Audio Manager to 5.1 Speakers, set up th speakers and everything... and this is where the problems start.
With my old soundblaster live, when I set it to 5.1 and listened to music, I'd get sound from all 5 speakers + my sub. Now I...
I get the same thing with my Samsung LNS3251 HDTV. Playing Final Fantasy 12 gives me full top to bottom, but tiny little bars on the sides.. I don't get it but oh well.
As much as sony has disappointed me this generation (came into it a hardcore sony !!!!!!, now proud owner of Wii60 :P heh) I will pick it up when Metal Gear Solid 4, Final Fantasy 13, Devil May Cry, etc. are released for it. As soon as any of those games are out, i'm on my way to pick one up...
Lol yeah.. thats a whole 'nother can of worms right there. Like the one NPC that is reading his line and then says "Fuck I messed up, lemme try again...". That made me laugh and go "WTF" pretty good :eek:
I work at futureshop and we've set up the Samsung Blu-Ray players on a Samsung 46'' 1080P set, and then another one side by side with a Sony XBR2 46'' and the difference in picture quality is insane. I own a Samsung myself but the next TV I'm getting is definately a sony, it blows everything we...
Oblivion without any mobs looked like crap to me, outdoors atleast... and the peoples face :( horrible.
HOWEVER (before some !!!!!! jumps at my throat :P) it looks ALOT better with the hi-res texture mod and the parallax mod. Still can't get over the faces though...
Half-Life 2: Episode 1...
I emailed them last night and I still havent received a response. I'll give them a call tomorrow morning and see what the heck is going on. I'll be pretty pissed if they don't cover it, its out of warranty by TEN days.
I've been getting disc read errors and there. I recently bought my console (August 29th).. Has anybody gone through the warranty procedure with Microsoft? Do they need the receipt (I cant find mine :().
Any help is appreciated....
PS - Posting without googling, gotta pick up the girlfriend.
I was a futureshop this morning and they have a shipment in, just waiting for the accessories before they throw them on the shelves. This is in west van, bc.
Where I stopped reading was "To me...". After that its all personal opinion. I fully support the PC (Take a look at my sig :p) but there are games, like Gears of War, where I can just call up a couple of my buddies, they'll driver over and we'll have a great time playing a game. Period. Some...
Maybe somepeople don't wanna spend $1K for a decent PC, whereas a $400 console and $100 Keyboard seems like a good deal.
I own both and I can see where the appeal of a ekyboard and mouse would come into play with certain games.
You sure you did? You went to the SAME FUCKING GAME! :rolleyes:
Go look at the other games and see. Battlefield 2 Isn't exactly a stressful game nowadays. Like the other poster said, check out FEAR, HL2: HDR, Oblivion etc.
:confused: :confused:
Did you just tell him to wait for a demo before asking what people THINK looks better from screenshots and trailers? Does it matter what it 'seems' like? :rolleyes:
EDIT: I like the tropical look of Crysis so I'll have to go for that.
I got mine for $47.55 Canadian, and it was a premium too. They had a promotion down in vancouver island where you could trade in old PS2/GC/Xbox Games for a minimum credit of $20. So I traded in 22 Games and my game cube + controllers, came out to $47.55 including PGR3 and another controller :cool:
I agreed with you until I read "...the supercomputers, enthusiast segement, etc, i.e, the moneymaking chunk...".
You sure you don't mean mainstream? Thats where most companies make their money.. not their super duper extremely expensive edition products.
