Patch coming for Assassin's Creed freezing problems

Nov 25th 2007 11:28AM (Joystiq Playstation)
@1 It really does look the same, don't trust the side by side videos. Their TV's are set for the 360's picture and not the PS3's. My 360 (with friends AC) and my PS3 on the same TV switching back and forth looked EXACTLY the same.

Frame rate on the other hand... >.<

Nomura spills info on FF Versus XIII in latest Dengeki

I sooo miss the world map.

Fan-made PS3 ad focuses on future exclusives

@3 Maestro

Actually most of what was shown was either in game, or real time. Rendered on the PS3. (Pretty much everything but Final Fantasy XIII Versus was real time rendered.)

Just remember there is a difference between cut-scenes rendered on a PS3, and CGI rendered on a rendering farm (Lots of powerful computers linked together, filmed, and then played back on the PS3.

Industry flamebait: the PS3 is a 3DO

@ Dave

Actually the RROD come around before the first year was up.

Don't shy away from the fact that the PS3 has been publicly tested in some of the harshest conditions you could think of. The PS3 Passed with Flying colors. The same can not be said about the 360.

The 360 IS a poorly made console, rushed to the market with more then one design flaw. (The lack of HDD's in every system, the Disk scratching problem, and the RROD) Then Backed by a Pocket book to buy up ever exclusive and Studio it can.

The fact is, if the 360 never came around, Sony would have all those 360 exclusive titles, they would all look and run better. There would be no crappy ports from the 360. And the PS3 would be well along its way to reaching its potential, not being held back by multiplatform games only taking up 9 gigs of the BRD, not taking advantage of the Hard Drive, and not using the Two Teraflops of power the PS3 offers.

Well informed Fanboy rant /off

Industry flamebait: the PS3 is a 3DO

At some point, Nearly EVERY Console gamer WILL own a PS3. The only question is... how long will it take each person to adapt?

Harrison: Sony didn't force motion controls on Lair

Sep 28th 2007 7:40PM (Joystiq Playstation)
Lairs controls weren't that bad at all. Unless you never played the game and only listen to what people tell you on the internet. In that case go watch Loose Change or something and enjoy your ignorance.

Heavenly Sword was great. Could it have been longer? Yes... Is there anything wrong with giving a story a start, a middle and a end? The game was well worth $60 for fans, if it isn't for you, its short enough to rent.

(Also note, I play warhawk with motion controls on, practice and Lair is super easy.)

Another company goes Blu-ray exclusive -- Xperinet

@4

Indefinate just means a unknown amount of time. Or in their case, a undisclosed amount of time. (i.e. 18 months which the 150 mil payed for)

They aren't going to go and say, we are only supporter the lesser selling media for 18 months, then going back to BluRay! That would just be stupid.


Blu still wins. Only difference is for 18 months I wont be renting/buying and Paramount movies.

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue will be free

@7

Find a Demo as complete as GT5:P and then you have a point. Until then, your just looking like a fool.

Gabe Newell trashes PS3's Cell architecture

Aug 25th 2007 2:18PM (Joystiq Playstation)
Sorry, wanted to add this...

Not to say hes wrong, the PC will almost always be the better choice, if you have that choice to make. I for one cannot wait to upgrade my PC to rejoin the PC gamers. PC/PS3/Wii! (here is to the hope that Fable 2, and Halo 3 don't to long to get ported to the PC!)

Gabe Newell trashes PS3's Cell architecture

I have only one thing to say to that man. Wear Black, and Wear Layers.

Aside from that, we've seen devs I respect more then this guy say the PS3 is no harder to program for, just something new to learn.

And we've had Devs say, it just takes longer to program for.

Then there is the EA type devs who say its a hardware problem.

The truth, is likely somewhere in the middle, as it almost always is.
