Didn't EA just buy Burnout from someone else?

Developed by Criterion (now EA), published by EA. A bit like Battlefield, by DICE, which is now EA. Just saying, EA has been pushing pretty decent stuff, much of it pretty out there when compared to the nearest competitor, along with the crap for some time.

lets not forget the big action title by Mikami and Suda 51 that EA is funding

Cannot wait to hear more

As for flip-flopping, I tend to end up sort of enjoying Tom Clancy games for what they are, but will always hate that they are what they are.

Try Chaos Theory on your PC again. New Nvidia drivers allow AA to be turned on in Shader 3.0 mode. The game still looks quite beautiful because of the shadow and lighting.

I may end up buying Bioshock PS3 despite having played the PC version. I want to keep that one in some games library. Bought COD4 on three platforms.

Yeah, the PS3 version looks terrible in comparison shots. Also, I've read that the framerate is noticeably worse than the 360 version.

Im the opposite. Ill either:

A.) Hate that shit right away, and always hate that shit.

B.) Hate that shit right away, then buy it secretly in a moment of weakness and try to hide my shame by not mentioning it ever again.

You flipflopped big time on Gundam DW.

Yup, but I almost NEVER start out liking a game and then whiplash to hate.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #66 on:** October 16, 2008, 01:25:16 AM »

man, sounds like the worst version to get then! On 360 there was a little slowdown when the action heated up sometimes... Isnt the PS3 version supposed to have extra content or some shit?

cool breeze · « **Reply #67 on:** October 16, 2008, 01:27:40 AM »

Apparently the IGN review says the major difference is there are higher res textures at points, but it's inconsistent and there is pop in...which just looks worse than having everything nice and even.

And 360 version had bad slowdown unless you turned vsync off, but the tearing in the game was awful with it off. I don't know how the PS3 version compares there. PC version has been amazing so far (surprise!)

Chaos Theory was the big exception to the rule for me with Ubi last generation. They tore apart everything else: Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon, completely transformed. But this one actually improved, became more tactical and had more choices with each new game. Disliked Double Agent, hated what I saw of the new one (Ubi of all companies building a game around A.I., crowd A.I. at that?), but I guess they took that one back to the concept stage so who knows.

Everything they make seem to come out half-baked, and suffering from any combination of serious glitches, shitty performance and just a general sense of lack of polish (legacy A.I. issues in R6 games is by far the most aggravating of those issues). Plenty of lofty concepts and aspiration, but always seem to be released in a half-built fashion.

Sold that. I really don't get much out of PC gaming these days. I upgraded specifically for Bioshock, so I got to play it at the highest settings. I could play it on my 360, but I'm not building a games library for a system that I'm reluctant to even power up because it's so fucking loud, and has such a headache inducing UI.

What's the word on Dead Space so far, what are the differences? EA has been pretty good with multi-platform games, where does this one land?

According to Eurogamer's face-offs, EA has been fairly consistent with putting out the superior version on the 360 so the 360 version is the safe choice if you want the best graphics.

Personally, I'm waiting for the PC version. Gaming on the 58" plasma is fun but nothing beats 60fps at greater than 1080P w/8x anti-aliasing.

I think Eurogamer actually said they look identical. That was the reason I switched to the PS3 version.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #72 on:** October 16, 2008, 01:40:01 AM »

I don't perceive Burnout as an EA property. They bought Criterion. Same goes with Harmonix and Rock Band.

But still, EA is regaining the respect I had for them in the 80's and 90's.

I'm so glad this game has got some exposure - the developers really deserve it. People hated on it a bit at first, but the last few months it seems to have really taken off in popularity.

Still, looks good in motion. The lightin is pretty incredible and its clear they knew exactly what they wanted, and how they wanted it done from a design standpoint. Lots of smart little ideas in this game.

TVC15 · « **Reply #78 on:** October 16, 2008, 03:19:35 AM »

Yeah, honestly, past the first few minutes, when things get dark (visually), the lack of AA isn't that bad. It's only really noticeable on things in the distance. I'm sure I could notice it elsewhere if I stood still and stared, but lol.

y2kev · « **Reply #105 on:** October 16, 2008, 02:48:42 PM »

Apparently the games are identical but the PS3 shaves off 2 seconds or so on the loading front (360 loads are already short and only happen between levels). It's really controller preference here. No mandatory install on the PS3, and it even has trophies.

The framerate is basically LOCKED. I was so impressed with that. It just doesn't drop.

I prefer the 360 controller, but the PS3 is much quieter, so that and shorter load times will probably get me to go with the triple version.

edit: though I bet it'll scale to 1080i more nicely on the 360 $:-\$

It scales to 1080i natively on the PS3.

Do you know if you have to uncheck 720p? My (brother's) oldish TV scales, but it looks like ass. I'm gonna be checking and unchecking like crazy for stupid LBP

My 360 has a noisy power brick which makes a high pitched noise that drives me crazy. The system itself bugs me a lot less.
