Sorry, Y2KEV, I only have faith in the Xfag Royalty.

well it was posted by the game's developer on gaf, ~~sony cambridge~~ ninja theory

look, there is no doubt in my mind this game will be better on 360. I have the reserve for the 360 version. but you have to check your sources lol

Are you talking about Nostromo? He's such an obnoxious asshole. I was reading the Stalker DX10 thread yesterday and he just made some snooty comment about how it was unimpressive.

Very unprofessional, imo.

Well, just in case the multiplayer actually is fun and lasts (I doubt it) and the DLC is good, I ordered the 360 version.

Sorry, PS3. Again.

heavenly sword has one of the most dynamic and least 'prebaked' lighting systems of any game this gen. mina don't know sheeeeeeeeeeeeeit </claydavis>
BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

Drinky says the same things about HS though.

Deadmeat
Mina
Dcharlie
Drinky Crow

(Image removed from quote.)

never said that about hs, which has some nice dynamic effects (@ 15 fps, budget gpu powar). i said uncharted has some seriously baked (multi-texture) lighting in its underground areas, and i was right

me

rsx lo-fi shadows and 2003's stencil effects

if ps3 deserves any credit, it's that it has more ambitious devs who cut their teeth on the ps2, instead of letting directx feature pipelines do all the heavy lifting for them.

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #67 on:** April 23, 2008, 11:29:23 PM »

Drinky, 15 fps was HS's max framerate. The average framerate was around 6-10 fps.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #68 on:** April 23, 2008, 11:36:35 PM »

deadmeat's rarely right, but his observation that the rsx is essentially the 7600gt is spot-on. admittedly, there's an extra-fat bus mainlined straight into 256 mb xdr (not gddr3 or worse, as on the average budget card), but the number of pipelines seems to mysteriously double whenever a jargon-happy albeit math-clueless sony fanboy decides to pull up a pedestal at beyond3d

rsx *is* a budget gpu. xenos is a significant improvement in a lot of ways, but it's shackled to ex-pc dev directx-style thinking and will never really be exploited save by folks like rare, who unfortunately also make rare games

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #69 on:** April 23, 2008, 11:44:35 PM »

You're probably right about the lazy devs working on the 360. I remember all that talk about how Xenos is capable of more polys/s than RSX but the 360 has yet to show much advantage in that area.

At least, Xenos' scaling abilities have been put to good use. The 360's scaling ability is a severely underrated feature. On my 1080P TV, the 360's picture looks noticeably crisper when I set it to 1080P.

I suspect that the PS3 looks a bit blurrier because it can't scale most games to 1080P and even when it does, it's doing some weird method that isn't exactly 1920x1080.

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #70 on:** April 24, 2008, 04:51:37 AM »

Has this confirmed to be real? If so, that's pretty weird that Rockstar would be complaining about disc space when GTA4 is only 6.3 gbs.

y2kev · « **Reply #72 on:** April 24, 2008, 05:42:02 PM »

The 360 disk only holds 7 GB. If the ISO is compressed, I imagine they'd be pretty close to the limit.

The interview with Sam is basically "I don't know anything about the technical side of things i leave that to other people , but the DVD is simply too small!"

err...

be prepared to walk all the way to your 360 to put in the second disc once you enter city #2 in gtav

Mondain · « **Reply #78 on:** April 24, 2008, 10:14:36 PM »

with my 360 version I found that the game looks like ASS, prepare to be severely disappointed when you get it

annoying shimmering all over the place when outside that distracts you when you try to view things away in the distance (there's a bridge and it's so rough around the edges I can't believe it), unimpressive character models, environments and objects, some really, REALLY bad looking set pieces... only the facial animation in cutscenes and the lighting looks good at times, for the rest it's an Xbox game in HD

apart from that it's the same kind of game as GTA III, only with more emphasis on developed film-like cutscenes... this aspect is really good, I love what Rockstar is doing and they're once more at the top of their game

and one character calls another a cigarillo! take that GAF queers, muhahahahahahaha

Meh i got banned for calling him out on that blatant fud last year.

bork · « **Reply #80 on:** April 24, 2008, 10:39:33 PM »

Gaming real talk: I honestly don't expect GTAIV to be that much better than the last generation of games were, nor do I expect it to top Crackdown, which kicks the collective asses of all the GTA games all over the place. But I finished Crackdown quickly after its release and am looking for something new to play. Saint's Row just didn't cut it for me (but I will be checking out the sequel), so hopefully this game will. I still don't expect the multiplayer to be anything special or long-lasting. Really if GTA wasn't being released now, with so little else coming out, I don't know if I'd really care about it at all.

So if the game turns out to be much better than expected, great! But if not, I'm not going to be let down as I'm already going in with average expectations.

Dcharlie, did you read that GAF article on 1up? It was pretty hilarious the way they tried to portray MS as the bad guy on GAF. First, they mentioned Jeff Bell and then Sp0rks mentioned that GAF is teh suck at detecting virals because everyone missed the fact that Ghaleon is the biggest viral.

i'm wondering how long my free pass on calling out people 'who will never be banned' will last ? lol.

I'm being fair, i'm not saying anything false, just holding up a mirror. If they don't like what they see, hopefully the bullsheeet will stop.

whut whut? what was the reason in the mail?

I mean - at that point, it was basically "i think" vs "i think" (except if you knew -anyone- at R*N who were saying "it's on one disk" for AGES), so people arguing were just exchanging FUD/FUD-Flare+chaff. To be banned for not agreeing it's on multiple disks.... jeesssh. Unless of course you called him a donkey's cock dribble or something like that, i don't get it

That was last year, he was spewing out his toll booth pics and people were worried about multiple disks in X360 GTA4. I basically said that the Multiple Disks thing is Sbot FUD and bam got banned Missed E3 last year.

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #92 on:** April 25, 2008, 02:49:07 AM »

Splitscreen is not possible on the PS3 because its firmware takes up too much memory. Only with the unique memory architecture of the Xbox 360 is splitscreen play possible.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #93 on:** April 25, 2008, 02:49:44 AM »

It's real if you believe it. Haven't you learned at least that much from your time at GAF?

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #95 on:** April 25, 2008, 03:01:25 AM »

there's no split-screen whatsoever in either version, v
