We all know that a vast number of BoreHats are molesting their way through GDC as we speak.

Demi is probably up to the makers plate in bear chuff as we speak.

So what can you report?

Tell us here!
Filthy rumours also accepted!

i've avoided all the Dyack drama, so i don't really have an opinion of Poo Shoeman yet.

The idea of it potentially being a phat loot PSU style game has me half interested, but ... well... it could be poo.



I....kinda don't like PSO. Well, actually, I had a conversion experience with it. I was playing the Xbox version, totally into it, so I made my friend go get it so we could play together, and after a few minutes he said to me, "ALL YOU DO IS GO FROM ROOM TO ROOM AND HIT A." And he was right...and it was like the Dynasty Warriors moment. I could never go back.

PSO + good story might be enough for me though. Depends on who Dyack opts to rip off this time.

Dyack has referred to the combat as "relaxing." It's not God of War. Maybe watered down GoW + loot drops for effect.

That's not FEZ, though.  That is some sort of platformer for the DS.  It looks cool as well, but it certainly isn't FEZ (the PC game).

I'd like to hear about the CryTek demonstration, personally.  While I've already played the game, I'm very interested in seeing if they can actually pull off something similar on the consoles.

Co-op was fun but I never realized how broken Gears' cover system really was until I played Uncharted.  If Gears 2 doesn't match the fluidity of Uncharted's combat then it'll be a colossal disappointment.

i guess i must be eb's biggest gears fan. i thought it was awesome...and i never really bothered with co-op either

I enjoyed it as well although part of it could be due to "new console syndrome".  I got my 360 about 2-3 months before GOW launched so I was still quite excited about next-gen gaming.  Gears made me felt like the 360 was a worthwhile purchase.  However, it's also the game that has made me curse the most because of its various quirks.

Co-op was fun but I never realized how broken Gears' cover system really was until I played Uncharted.  If Gears 2 doesn't match the fluidity of Uncharted's combat then it'll be a colossal disappointment.

I'm pretty indifferent to the franchise right now.

I didn't like how Uncharted was mostly about shooting at faraway targets with a pistol.  GOW's combat was far more visceral because the enemies were up in your face.  Also, the grenades in GOW were crap and there were no convinient exploding barrels nearby, so you had to rely on your shooting to take them down.

R6:Vegas has by far the best cover and shoot gameplay, imo, and I seriously hope that the Gears team has learned something from R6:V.

i'm waiting on a price drop for pain.  i want to play it, but $10 for what you get with the base game is a bit much.

Can you get at least three friends over at once? If so, the HORSE (like the basketball game) mode is easily worth $10.

ninja gaiden was one of my top five games last gen, but there's something offputting about ng2. graphic videogame violence is so 90s. and why can't ryu have any normal weapons. he can't just have tonfa, he has to have XTREME TONFA with spikes all over them

Aside from your big budget FPS and GTA, my friends aren't into videogames, they're more into board games like Axis and Allies, Catan, Attack!, etc. However, they love playing Rock Band Pain. Four-player HORSE is a weekend staple whenever we have people come over. It's even better when we're all drinking.

I'm still not entirely sold on NG2 visually. Game looks flatter than day old soda.

I already have it preordered, so I couldn't care less ultimately, but Tecmo sucks ass graphically this gen. You'd expect them to blow DMC4 out of the water developing exclusively on one console with one dedicated engine with MS' direct and unrivaled support.

The action looks pretty sweet, though I won't know if I like the new offensively-minded combat to the defense of the first until I play it.

the new ng2 footage is actually pretty impressive. the visual quality hasn't changed much, but it takes place in a really big seamless area, and you can see way off into the architecturally detailed distance. which is pretty refreshing after dmc4's PS2 TOTAL segmented areas.

...on the other hand ng2's canned combos look really dull compared to the stuff i've been pulling in dmc4, but you can't win em all

itagaki is making the game more "fun" this time, obviously for the casuals, with gore and all.

but consecutive flying swallow is worrying me, flying swallow is a very effective move, making it like this will probably make the game easier.

Gears is a perfectly adequate game, gameplay isnt fantastic but its there, its got pretty graphics, fun characters/dialogue and is a solid 6 hour romp

Im playing through online co-op on Insane with a friend at the moment, and I agree, co-op is where the game really shines. Its awesomely fun

Havent given online multi deathmatch a go but Im assuming its ass

I'll definitely pick up Gears 2 when it comes out.

NG2 looks sweet... can really say much else... another must buy


Fable was a steaming fucking pile of broken shit, how anyone can look foward to a 'next-gen' sequel is beyond me

btw post-conference lol at TH not being in the conference despite being closer to release (supposedly) than any of the games mentioned. After watching the videos, the game is still looking a bit rough and the combat still looks jelloy. But I'm gonna give it a try...like I do with everything, and then I end up liking it....like I do with everything.

Except no more heroes.  :-X

Btw I LOVE Gears and I didn't play it coop the first time through. Maybe it is too hard to play with the broken friendly AI on insane, but on casual it was superfun and it looked so damn good.

I did end up buying the 360 version for the online play, though. But I had to buy an arcade stick because the 360's d-pad is a mushy piece of shit. :'(

I have several!  For Sony machines.  

Online lol.

But you can't buy anti-aliasing or refined gameplay for the PS3.

actually vf5 is one of like three games that looks better on ps3 than 360. the ps3 version's AF makes a pretty big difference. some of the 360 version's normal maps are inverted, such that the veins on akira's hand appear to be sunken in -- and some of the background details are garbled, whether that's due to the texture filtering or something else. the 360 version has some added AA, but since both versions of the game are scaled from 1024x1024 or something weird like that, the difference isn't very obvious.

of course the 360 version is still the one to own for all its additional features, but that's a separate matter

I wish I could be at GDC. Not for the Epic Megatons that aren't happening, but for the actual panels. I looked over the Engineering track and drooled.

I think a few guys from work are there, but no one from the project I'm on.

Here's the write-up of the comparison:

http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=87214

Of course, the headline enhancements are worthy of the lion's share of the comment. Yes, there is anti-aliasing on the visuals, but as you can see from the comparison shots, the difference is barely noticeable - even the 360 rendition has its share of 'jaggies' if you're anal enough to scrutinise the screens closely enough (that Shun shot for starters). And anti-aliasing isn't always a visual boon for me in many cases any way. For every smoothed-off edge the 360 version has, the PS3 game has a certain smidgen of additional clarity to the point where neither version really looks any better than the other. Also, the 360 game's pre-fight posing sequences are occasionally prone to the tiniest v-lock screen tear (always at the bottom tenth of screen if you're crazy enough to want to look for it) which is not present in the PS3 version.

Both games are capable of outputting 1920x1080 to a 1080i or 1080p screen, but scaling is involved in either case. The 360 GPU works well blowing up anti-aliased images and offers up an excellent image (especially as it seems to using a base 1024x1024 image), but the PS3 resizing method is far less appealing. The fact that you need to disable 720p in your XMB to get it running proves that AM2 would rather your display did the scaling from the game's native 720p resolution.

I think they basically look identical.  Unless you are someone looking at single pixels praying for a difference.

I was reading all those cross-platform comparisons at Eurogamer tonight.  It's scary how many PS3 multiplatform games are gimped. Thank God I don't just own a PS3.

Actually, you're quite wrong.  The PS3 version sports higher resolution textures in various portions of the backgrounds as well as anisotropic filtering.  The 360 version does feature more anti-aliasing, however, so those who prefer a smoother image might enjoy the 360 version more.  The PS3 version is most accurate, however (looks exactly the same as the arcade game).

isn't that because the team that handled the 360 port weren't the same?

It's certainly not a huge difference.  The 360 version lacks anisotropic filtering (as you can see in the first comparison) while the second demonstrates minor differences in background textures (this seems to exist in many stages).  In that example, the trees above the waterfall are low resolution on 360.  Why?  Who knows.

Again, nothing major, but the PS3 version IS more accurate to the arcade game.
