Thanks for the preview but like I said I'm taking your Oblivion comments with a HUGE grain of salt.

Techx said:Man what a downer this post is, I don't want to hear this shit! heh I want to hear how awesome the games look and how fun they are.. I think anyone shelling out THAT much cash for the system and games doesn't want to hear it's all bleh
Circuitbreaker8 said:I think devs just slap on AA at the very end when theyre completely done w/ the game.
Erasmus354 said:It wouldn't surpries me if the "free 4x AA" that the EDRAM supposedly gives actually lives up to the hype. Although it makes you wonder, if it was so easy to implement it why not put it in the beta software so people dont come back and post in these forums that the games are full of jaggies?
Tedium said:Have you played oblivion?
Nah, I was there for the entire thing. 3 to 11. I meant 10 invited through forums and the like, that we could tell. Not sure where the other ladies and gents came from, but yes by the cocktail party the place filled up. But there wasn't any problem getting on any of the 30 demo stations.badasspenguin said:I was at this event as well..but it sounds like you missed most of it.
Yeah, so the PS3 will probably have the edge over the Xbox 360 in graphics and sheer computational power, but after actually playing some of these games its hard to imagine all but the most diehard Sony !!!!!!ys holding out for the 5 - 7 months thatll pass before Sony introduces their console.
steviep said:I didn't assume that the event had final hardware, I meant Microsoft has final hardware. If they don't, then they're in big trouble. That said, it was likely that the hardware at the event was either near-final (95+%) or final. The discrepencies like AA likely lie in the unfinished software. But.... aren't the lot of these titles supposed to be launch games?

Erasmus354 said:The launch is still 6 weeks away, a lot can change in 6 weeks time. It sounds like most of the issues you had with many of the games were polish issues, and a few debugging problems left to go. I also think you went into it looking for problems more so than things they did correctly, which tbh is exactly what the game devs need to hear, and is a good thing for the consumers to hear as well.
I will leave my decision on the games until I see final versions, or reviews of final versions. I still plan on getting an Xbox at launch.

badasspenguin said:I was at this event as well..but it sounds like you missed most of it. There were WAY more than 10 people there, each group had 10 people in it. You were invited to stay and play all day. After all the groups got their chance there was a cocktail party at night. There must have been at least 50-75 people there. Not only that, Shane Kim and Peter Moore made an apperance. I was really excited to get a chance to talk with Shane Kim. It wasn't just a blogger event which I had previously been told, in fact Time Magazine, Readers Digest, TV Guide, MTV.com and USA Today were all there as well.

steviep said:While I doubt Nintendo's games will look better than Sony's, I can see a single core or dual core Rev matching the power of the X if their GPU is good and their system is optimized right.
But since when is everything about looks? Reading about the GAMEPLAY on some of these games (the impressions) are what has me more worried, not the lack of AA on everything.
Draax said:I dont understand why everyone says multi-core processing is difficult? Why then are people like Carmack, and various other gamming developers saying they prefer to program for the XBOX360. Hell Carmack said he prefers programming for the 360 over the PC; surely it cannot be as difficult as everyone is making it out to be.
steviep said:Programming for the PC more difficult than the X360? I highly doubt that... $$$ talks.
steviep said:Carmack is a fantastic programmer, but he is not God. ID is putting out some crappy software recently, anyway. But that's just my opinion. So why would he prefer programming for the 3-core in-order CPU, to an easier out-of-order single-core (or dual core) PC CPU? Did he give any reasoning? Because to me, it seems like there is nothing to 'prefer'.
Techx said:so crappy software=one of the first game engines with realtime dynamic lighting, bumpmapping and advanced physics, if newbs like you even knew what it takes to create the games that ID makes you wouldn't be talking out of your ass.. no D3 wasn't the holy grail of FPS games but it and it's engine was far from crappy.. That's MY opinion....
