More pixel counting: Haze runs at 576p

May 19th 2008 7:57PM (Joystiq Playstation)
Okay, let's cut through all the fud:

Resolution vs. FPS has always been the PC gamers' debate. Judging a game on it's resolution or how many fps alone is not only asinine, but counter productive. HAZE does run at 720p and 1080i/p, but is being rendered at a lower resolution. Considering that the game was a multiplatform game, and that the developers have been having some problems, I am not surprised by this development. It's unfortunate that it's not running at a higher frame-rate though - action games benefit from higher frame-rates by being more responsive to player inputs. Imho, it's the post-processing of partial renders which gave FR so much trouble. The nectar effects, while nifty, is probably being done too inefficiently for the PS3's architecture. If any of you can remember how K2 is being coded, you can see why all the post partial renders could be doing that. When it comes to games in general, the more action oriented the game, the more FPS you want. Does a puzzle based point and click adventure need 120fps? No. Instead, most devs would up the resolution to compensate, so the game would look fantastic. Does a fast-paced duel-joystick shooter benefit from incredibly high resolutions? No. It benefits more from a higher frame rate since input responsiveness increases. In short, the argument always depends on the game. HAZE being a shooter, would benefit from a higher resolution if it was a slow paced shooter. Otherwise, fps would be more beneficial. Being that Free Radical is a 3rd party developer, one whose experiences are not from the Playstation alone, shouldn't surprise anyone that this game does neither well. Blaming Sony for this is like blaming McDonalds for a long, slow line at the drive-thru. Sure, it's their drive-thru but they can't control the people coming into it directly unless those people were employed by McDonalds itself. Blame Sony if Killzone 2 has this problem. They can control that development. They didn't control this one's.

Me and my friend had a blast with the demo. Co-op is better, imho. With that said, why isn't there going to be a Singstar week? That's coming out this week too - where's the love? :(

Catch a nasty ghost in this Ghostbusters gameplay footage

May 18th 2008 4:10AM (Joystiq Playstation)
Hmm... they made a 3rd person shooter out of ghostbusters.... sounds okay, but it looks like many other shooters. I think this is one I need to try to tell if it lives up to it's pedigree or not. Liked the music though! =D

First footage of Red Alert 3 is gorgeous

Honestly, this seems like more of the same... take that either for good or bad. =)

This crystal-clad PS3 seems strangely phony

Wow, a rhinestone covered PS3... but if you read the fine print: **NOT BOGUS -DO NOT READ FAKE REVIEWS-CONTACT ME IF YOU ARE SERIOUS-THANK YOU ... Commissioning this one off peice for yourself, a friend, to sell on, or to be put on display. commission time takes 2-5 months depending on sourcing, labour and parts and desired speed of production collect in person, or can be shipped This is exclusive, paypal immediate transfer only.**

If you cannot discern the smell of 'rip-off' on this, then you deserve to lose 30 - 70,000 lbs. (Uhm, I mean pounds!) =D

While the physics look good, I'm just not feeling that this game has anything too new to offer. I'm probably just feeling jaded, but I don't know why. =/
