Oh boy there's some game awards show or something on American TV

[Bebpo]

R2 looked brown and cartoony
R1 looked grey and real world-ish


R2 is incredibly inconsistent.  Some areas look alright, but then you walk up to a car and it makes GT5's standard cars look great.  Google maps and PS2 textures galore.  Plus it didn't have any awesome snow effects.


Both games have really low-res textures.  So do the Ratchet PS3 games but at least those run at 60fps.  I just get the feeling insomniac's engine is not built for sharp textures at all.  Either that or 1 game a year means no time to draw high-res textures.

The part ~4:30 where you fight as the spider tank vs. goliath in the snow still looks really nice.  Great animations and effects.

TELL ME EVERYTHING ABOUT THE NEW SSX I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR YEARS.

GIVE ME THE RUN DOWN, I'M ABOUT TO GET LAID AND I EXPECT DETAILS WHEN I RETURN

do you like call of duty games?

How is it anything like Call of Duty? Explain this to me.

it was more of a jab at the trailer they showed and its vibe .

especially compared to the crazy/zany vibe of the old SSXs

i think i am the only person on this board who enjoyed resistance 2

god bless you, developers whose name i can't remember and am too lazy to look up, i stand alone in looking forward to your sequel

I look forward to it, but not because of Resistance 2. Resistance had this awesomely grim atmosphere, which they shat on in 2 because they were desperately trying to appease the critics. This looks more like a proper sequel to 1.

[naff]

I like the look of R3. R1 was alright, at least the SP was. Multi was a joke. I remember being kinda hyped after reading up on R2's multi stuff but they apparently didn't pull through? Anyways, i'm probably never going to play that game. Maybe R3 though. I still have Motorstorm and Resistance fucking launch games, can't get rid of them.

[duckman2000]

Multi was a joke.

A sexy joke indeed! Fluid 40p wars, awesome levels and server browsing w00t!

The winners on that last aren't too bad, as far as mainstream awards go. It'd be nice if Spike stopped aiming this show at 14 year olds and attempted a respectable award show, but that's never gonna happen.

Jennifer Hale got ROBBED.

lmao. why, u mad theres no j-games on there? take the hint. nobody cares about j-games.

[Smooth Groove]

Did GT5 not get nominated because it was released too late? 

[demi]

I doubt it, AC Brotherhood came out just last month like GT5.

Nope, I couldn't care less about any video game awards. I'm just saying the games they chose could have been much worse.

Owned.

[Eel O'Brian]

even the side characters in mafia 2 (the ones with, like, two lines of dialogue) were better actors than anyone in that spider-man game

[cool breeze]

I think they nominated sam worthington from black ops.  If you haven't played that game, it's basically him playing an American dude delivering lines with an Australasian accent.

[Diunx]

Yeah he doesn't even try that hard to hide the accent in his movies either

[Great Rumbler]

He's also not a very good actor.

[tiesto]

Only thing I agree with on that list is DJ Hero 2 for best soundtrack.
