F.E.A.R. Heading to the PS3

[Zenien]

F.E.A.R. freaks out for PS3!
Wednesday 9-Aug-2006 11:49 AM Exclusive: Vivendi's all conquering F.E.A.R. will be heading onto Sony's next-gen platform!

F.E.A.R. took the PC by storm, is boldly slapping up the Xbox 360, offering further PC adventures with expansion pack Extraction Point and is now confirmed for Sony's next-gen console, the PS3, CVG can exclusively reveal today.

Following hot on the heels of the announcement of F.E.A.R. multiplayer for free, CVG's investigative reporters have learned that the mighty shooting franchise, which offers superb slow mo gun battles and pant-wetting Japanese-influenced horror, will be marching straight onto Sony's next-gen console.

Advertisement:No further details were forthcoming from our sources, but we'd have to hope the game would power onto the PS3 on or around the time of launch - and there's even the possibility that it might make use of the PS3's funky tilting controller for some of the game's crunching melee moves. Hopefully it'll make good use of the PS3's online capabilities too, offering PS3 owners a chance to indulge in splendid multiplayer shooting.

None of that's confirmed of course, as we're writing it wearing our hat of enormous speculation, but it swells the shooting credentials of Sony's next-gen console, joining other big hitters like Valve's Half-Life 2.

Exciting news indeed and we'll bring you more on F.E.A.R. PS3 as it shivers in.

[The Carver]

Too bad I beat it about a year ago.

[Manny Calavera]

Zenien, HL2 everything, Portal, Counter strike, and TF2 are all the same game, you can't list them all seperately to make the PS3 seem less like a pile of garbage :o

why do you complain when im in the MS section? and you come here always talking **** about sony.:down

[Manny Calavera]

Because you post lies in the MS section, where as I post only facts.

[Topdawg]

Because you post lies in the MS section, where as I post only facts.

so the PS3 being a ''pile of garbage'' a fact?lol

[Axid]

Some parts of it are recycled, so, yes...it is a pile of garbage :confused:

[Manny Calavera]

so the PS3 being a ''pile of garbage'' a fact?lol
That is correct.lol

[THE LIZARD#1]

Okay so its a fact that its coming out for the Playstation 3?

[Manny Calavera]

Yes, it's coming out on everything that can run it.

[THE LIZARD#1]

Man I can't wait to play this game.

[블라스]

I'm glad this is coming out for ps3.
This game needs to be on every next gen console.

FEAR FTW!

[Topdawg]

^Agreed.

[Manny Calavera]

FEAR FTW!
It is, but really, you don't need to play it, it was overrated quite a bit when it came out because the PC hadn't had a "big" title in a while so it needed to look more important/fun than it really was. By the time it hits there will be much better games, even in the same genre, to choose from. Games that aren't year old straight pc ports.

I still want it cause I hate PC gaming :(
plus the firefights and the physics look sweet!
And it's scary too :up: LOL!

[Manny Calavera]

Get it on 360 for less money and better visuals, controls, sound, and anything else. Don't buy a ps3 :(

[Topdawg]

manny, i hope your getting paid by MS.

[블라스]

Get it on 360 for less money and better visuals, controls, sound, and anything else. Don't buy a ps3 :(

Hodges, I WILL buy it for the 360 :confused:
I don't plan to buy a ps3 for a loooong time (maybe 2 or 3 years from now) :o
I'm just glad ps3 fans are going to be able to enjoy FEAR as well :up:

[Topdawg]

Xbox 360 cant even do 1080p, better visuals?lol

[Manny Calavera]

I'd love to explain to you why 1080p vs 720p is a big hoax, like 32-bit color vs 24-bit color, but I doubt you've got the mental dexterity to grasp it. To anyone else, basically, just look it up. 1080p being a huge leap over 720p, or a leap period, is just another in a long list of lies Sony has told this generation to try and make their system seem more appealing to those unwilling to actually looking into what they say.

[블라스]

Would it really make such a big difference?
Just play the games and enjoy the graphics, people :mad:

[Topdawg]

In the future it will.

[Manny Calavera]

Would it really make such a big difference?

No, that's the point, it doesn't make a big difference. It's (literally, this is not an exaggeration) like taking your computer resolution from 1024x768 to 1030x780, the difference is so slight that NO ONE can tell the difference. Giving over system resources to a higher resolution that could be used for FSAA, AF, HDR, etc is just stupid, don't expect many games to do this on the ps3, and don't expect any to benefit from it. 1080p PS3 is a big hoax, like most of the system.

[Danalys]

yeah you'd love to "explain it" but there is no explination. 1080p is just better as is 32bit.

"1024x768 to 1030x780" what a bad example. try using the real numbers. then show the increase in pixel count. then show it as a percentage. then contrast that to the jump from SD to 720p.

[블라스]

In the future it will.

As in holograms and 3D and stuff? :confused:

[블라스]

I don't get all thia resolution talk :confused: :(

[Topdawg]

The Bigger the tv the higher the resolution.
720 would look ugly on a 60inch tv.

[Manny Calavera]

yeah you'd love to "explain it" but there is no explination. 1080p is just better as is 32bit.
For someone who can't even spell "explanation", no, there really isn't one. Anything I say, I know from experience, will just be met with idiots posting "lol yeah right go sony lololol". I've already explained as much as I care to, the difference in resolution is absurdly small, to say nothing of the fact that the PS3 outputs this signal via two HDMI outputs, which none of Sony's own HDTVs are capable of accepting or will be capable of accepting in the near future. Hell, even newly released Blu-Ray movies are formatted in 1080i, which is about as un-high def as you could get. The whole thing is a bunch of smoke and mirrors design to confuse stupid people (that's you), just like sony's bull**** about blu-ray or 'the CELL', or going back further, their "emotion engine" hooplah, it's amazing you idiots still fall for this crap.

As for your "as is 32 bit", wrong again dumbass, don't argue tech matters with me when you can't even spell the stuff you're talking about. All so called "32 bit color" is is a 24 bit color channel with an additional 8 bits acting as an alpha channel, with no quality difference what so ever, because there's no difference between them. You fail. :down

[Manny Calavera]

I don't get all thia resolution talk :confused: :(
Which is why you shouldn't worry about it. I mean, look at the type of people who are concerned about 1080p, you don't wanna be like them do you? :(

[블라스]

Which is why you shouldn't worry about it. I mean, look at the type of people who are concerned about 1080p, you don't wanna be like them do you? :(

You're talking to a guy who played Pac-Man for like an hour the other day, graphics and resolution means nada to me :(

I just love to play :up:

[Mentok]

Xbox 360 cant even do 1080p, better visuals?lol

What a shock... You buy into the 1080p scam :rolleyes:

[Danalys]

1280 x 720 vs 1920 x 1080
thats 921600 vs 2073600

over double the amount of pixels. make your mind up if that doesn't make a difference or not. now contrast that to the impression DRT gave. and consider i can do the same to any of his points i disagree with whenever i feel like it.

[Topdawg]

What a shock... You buy into the 1080p scam :rolleyes:

Im buying the ps3, might aswell take full advantage of it.
and 1080p is better than 720p, it all depends on the tv your buying.

[Mentok]

The Bigger the tv the higher the resolution.
720 would look ugly on a 60inch tv.

Wrong.

The physical size of the TV has nothing to do with the resolution. Hence the reason so many people have plasma and lcd displays that only output SD.

[Topdawg]

Wrong.

The physical size of the TV has nothing to do with the resolution. Hence the reason so many people have plasma and lcd displays that only output SD.

No, but the bigger it is the pixels stretch.

[Mentok]

No, but the bigger it is the pixels stretch.

No. It depends entirely on the native resolution of the display panel.

If you want to get picky about it yes, stretching the image does occur (my X360 display currently scales on my display because the native resolution is higher than x768)

Is it noticeable? No.

Is there a noticeable difference between 1080i and 1080p? Depends on two things... The display you output to and the content you are displaying.

[Manny Calavera]

The difference between 720p and 1080p is the motion, because you're not using that HD set for still photos. It has a much better temporal resolution (the picture is at 1/60th of a second, not 1/30th x 2). A smooth 720p picture will flicker or have jagged edges on bright horizontal objects, amongst other visual problems. I'm sure using the word "temporal" probably confused you though, so feel free to go back to your flat out wrong "der, which number is bigger guys?" argument.

[Danalys]

it'll future proof your content against increasing resolutions more than 720p will even if you have an SD set. it's a fact that it's better. better doesn't always win out tho.

[Manny Calavera]

That doesn't make any sense what so ever. Future proof your content against increasing resolutions? How does it future proof anything, it's still a fixed resolution, please just stop posting :rolleyes:

[Danalys]

they're both progressive manny. they have the same temporal properties. that's an arguement for 1080i vs 720p

[Danalys]

oh you don't get the concept of having content at a higher resolution than you can currently display so that when you do get a display that can display that res in the future. much like movie studios have their films mastered at around 4000 lines, so that then can copy from that source in the future.

[Topdawg]

720p>>>>>>>>>1080i
1080p>>>>>>>>720p

[Manny Calavera]

they're both progressive manny. they have the same temporal properties. that's an arguement for 1080i vs 720p
On paper. The actual sets that are displaying them are just displaying a 1080i signal that is upconverted, to put all lines on screen at once instead of interlacing them, but retains the same 30x2 setup. That's the "smoke and mirrors" part.

No, I get the concept just fine, I just don't understand why you think it works here. The games are going to be made, at best, in 1080p only. Nothing is future proof about this, I mean, the entire idea is beyond absurd.

[Mentok]

Edito

[Manny Calavera]

18080i is better than 720p depending on your display.
I don't think 18080i is around yet :o

[Danalys]

720p>>>>>>>>>1080i
1080p>>>>>>>>720p
top one depends on prefence, and motion properties of the footage.

really don't know what your talking about do you. that how all progressive resolutions work when using an interlaced video source. the PS3 can actually put out a 1080p source tho. so it's an irrelevent point.

refering to mentox's arguement that people don't have 1080p sets yet. they will eventually and the content on the PS3 is future proofed against that.

[Mentok]

I don't think 18080i is around yet :o

It totally is :mad:

[Zenien]

Zenien, HL2 everything, Portal, Counter strike, and TF2 are all the same game, you can't list them all seperately to make the PS3 seem less like a pile of garbage :o

Sure I can, they're different games in different universes. They're bundled together for amazing value, but they aren't all "multiplayer modes" of Half Life 2 Deathmatch.

[Manny Calavera]

Sure I can, they're different games in different universes. They're bundled together for amazing value, but they aren't all "multiplayer modes" of Half Life 2 Deathmatch.
I didn't say they were, but they're the same game release, you act like there are a ton of first person shooter releases coming, and there aren't. There are like, three, and one or two worth picking up :o

[Zenien]

But all the stuff included in the HAlf Life 2 megapack is AAA awesome, thus worth mentioning that you get all of them for the price of one game. :o

[Manny Calavera]

Which should be mentioned as one game, the PS3 has a paltry list of First person shooters ranging from PC/360 ports and crappy future killzones like resistance or the actual future killzone :o

[Topdawg]

GeOW...Kill Switch?

[Zenien]

They’re packaged together, but each are distinct separate games, Counterstrike for instance is sold seperately at retail Futureshops. The Playsation 3 will have a wide range of first person shooters, most notably the superior versions of any PC port that hits the PS3 and 360, as well as future Killzones like Resistance, or the actual Killzone PS3, which will be freed from the constraints that hampered the original.:o

Glad to see that you're starting to get it.

[Manny Calavera]

Quote editing is so Spiderdoggish Zenien, and if you're going to edit my quotes, at least run my fake words through a spell check :o

Anyways, yeah, the FPS scene on the PS3 blows ass.

[Zenien]

It stands a good chanceof getting better version of the best FPS series in history, so I'd say it's doing alright.

[Manny Calavera]

How does it stand a "good chance" of that Zenien? They're both getting the same game, same art assets, same content, same everything. And Half Life is far from best FPS series in history, most overrated maybe. The only thing REALLY interesting in that pack is Portal.

[Zenien]

PS3 version will support the superior control system that the game works best with.

and

3 cheers for your bad taste.

[Topdawg]

That portal gun looks great, cant wait to play it!

[Manny Calavera]

PS3 version will support the superior control system that the game works best with.

and

3 cheers for your bad taste.
The controller? Yeah, 360 has one to. It even rumbles. 3 cheers for you defending Killzone, defending Jak games, pretending to prefer the horrible Halo PC over the awesome Halo Xbox just to be an ass, amongst a million other things that prove you have bad taste.

Pics of the PS3 version... Very nice work.

[THE LIZARD#1]

Well the PS3 can't be so bad if its getting Crysis and 360 isn't because the people at Crytek said PS3 is built like a computer and easy for the port.

[Manny Calavera]

Please stop making things up, it isn't getting Crysis, the only thing getting Crysis is the PC. If it's being ported at all it will be to the Xbox360, which has many of the dx10 features the game needs to run and then some. The ps3 has none.

That said, it's likely a PC only title.

[Mentok]

Well the PS3 can't be so bad if its getting Crysis and 360 isn't because the people at Crytek said PS3 is built like a computer and easy for the port.

What are you talking about dumbass? the X360 IS getting Crysis :rolleyes:

The X360 is getting Crysis. The Cry-Engine was developed with a back end onto XNA for the very reason of porting to X360 hardware.

[THE LIZARD#1]

Okay Red Foreman, you'll get that if you watch that 70's show.

Anyways I was on the PS3today website and they said it was just going to be a PS3 exclusive because of the Playstation 3's arichtecture.

[Manny Calavera]

Hahaha, wow. Ok, do me a favor, and never visit that website again, because they just fed you a huge load of crap. The PS3's architecture and it's behind-the-standards GPU are some of the reasons why it would be difficult to port Crysis, not why it's a "sure thing", and regardless, there's no way it could be a PS3 exclusive. Not only is it not announced for the PS3 period, but it's only announced for the PC, a platform which, if you'll check, you'll find is not a PS3, making a PS3 exclusive Crysis impossible. This game is probably staying on PCs, if it goes anywhere, it'll be on the X360. That's the price you pay for having ass backwards, hard to work with hardware.

[Mentok]

Okay Red Foreman, you'll get that if you watch that 70's show.

I just figured it was true because PS3today hates the PS3 more than you guys do. I mean you'll feed them an article and if it doesn't have a negative comment then they won't allow it to be posted. So I thought they were turning a new leaf. I mean go on there and 360 gets way more news than the PS3 section. God it sickens me.

[THE LIZARD#1]

Hey Mentok who is your favorite character on That 70's show? I think Red Foreman is my favorite right next to Hyde.

[Mentok]

Hey Mentok who is your favorite character on That 70's show? I think Red Foreman is my favorite right next to Hyde.

Red is the best, then Fes.

[Danalys]

when they say exclusive in the console realm it means exclusive to a console the PC doesn't come into it. that been said. i've no idea if crysis will be on anything but the PC.

[THE LIZARD#1]

See this is why I thought it was a PS3 exclusive. Its from Gamespot on Crysis. And also there is a page for PS3 but not 360. I don't know I'll check again.

Crytek hunting for PS3 programmers
A job listing reveals German developer is prepping PlayStation 3 project; game could be Crysis spin-off--or something new.
By Tim Surette, GameSpot
Posted Aug 1, 2006 3:26 am GMT
One of the obvious perks of gaming on a next-generation system are the detailed graphics. Since next-gen footage began being released, many console gamers have argued that the souped-up living-room boxes could easily keep up with desktop PCs.


Crysis Trailer Can a PlayStation 3 handle this?
Watch | Download
Then a game by the name of Crysis entered the scene. Running on the latest version of Crytek's CryEngine, the shooter's lifelike graphics wowed attendees at both GDC and E3 this year. While console gamers picked up their jaws in envy, they asked themselves (and everyone else) whether the game would also be headed to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Shortly after its debut at GDC 2006, console owners were egged on by rumors that said the game was headed to next-gen consoles.

Now, one new bit of info shows that Crytek may indeed be looking to bring Crysis to next-gen consoles...or at least to one next-gen console. A job listing on the company's Web site shows that Crytek is looking for a PlayStation 3 programmer with cross-platform code development experience.

Even if Crysis is PS3-bound, it's unlikely it would be available anytime soon. The game ships for the PC in the fourth quarter of this year, meaning it would be a little late to hire staff to get a PS3 version out for this holiday season.

Also, Crytek recently told GameSpot that Crysis remains a PC exclusive in its current form. That disclosure raises the possibility that Crytek is hiring PS3 programmers for a console Crysis spin-off akin to Far Cry Instincts and Far Cry Instincts Predator, the Xbox and Xbox 360 adaptations of the PC shooter Far Cry.

Another factor is the fact Crysis isn't the only game cooking at the German studio. On a recent visit, Crytek told GameSpot that several "vastly different" games are in development at its Frankfurt headquarters--meaning the PS3 project could be an all-new title that is yet to be revealed to the public.

Bumping the pics because no one seemed to notice them first time around :o

Oh sorry I didn't know I was supposed to comment on them lol:O Yeah man my mouth dropped when I saw those pictures. Hey Mentok since your an xbox fan you would know do you think the PS3 version looks a lot better than the 360 version. I would say something but then get passed judgement. and then I'd probable have my feelings for the PS3 slide in and totally blow it out of proportion.

[Fenrir]

I haven't looked at the 360 version of F.E.A.R that closely, but the PS3 pics of F.E.A.R look noticeably inferior to the PC's:


PS3:

The PC version clearly has sharper textures, more detail and better shadowing. It's also less blrurry.

I dont label myyself. Im a gamer. I play any game that interests me :up:

I have only seen low res pics for the X360 version... They seem pretty much the same to me.

I will make a better judgement when they release some footage of both versions.

[Manny Calavera]

The 2nd pic looks alright, but the wall textures in the first one are awful. :down

X360 version (its a few months old now)
http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k8/mentokmentok/fear-20060802011340741.jpg

From these pics I would have to say

1- PC - The best looking but thats what you get with a good Gaming PC anyway.
2- X360 - Less detail than the PC version but still clean and sharp.
3- PS3 - Seems washed out and less detailed.

[Manny Calavera]

I'd say both console versions will at least match the PC version when they actually release. There's no excuse for anything else considering the 360 and PS3 specs, not for two-three years anyways. Unless they have some untalented dopes porting this, it will look better.

[Mentok]

The F.E.A.R COMBAT pack has just gone online for the PC. Its good that it will be built in to the X360 version for XBL play :up:

I assume the PS3 version will be online too.

http://www.joinfear.com/main

[Mentok]

I played COMBAT today for a solid hour... Multiplayer on the consoles will kick ass. The maps in the PC version are Greeat and the gameplay is spot on :up:

[Danalys]

the PS3 version is missing the bump maps again. textures designed for use with bump maps look washed out without them. there's no reason the PS3 can't do bump maps tho. so it must just be the last bit of code in the work schedule. converting the code to sony's open gl version. either that or they can't fit the maps in memory. which would mean the engine was badly designed when it comes to consoles.

I'm not so sure about this. Not after Bethesda botched on the promise of the 360 version of Oblivion looking as good as the PC version on the best possible hardware. Developers should really stop all this multiplatform crap and focus on exclusive games that properly utilize the strengths of the hardware in question.

[Manny Calavera]

Bethesda didn't botch it, the X360 version is the PC version with all the sliders up and the resolution set at 720p. The only difference is that the PC version can download higher resolution distance textures and stuff. I've seen the Oblivion PC version on the extremely high can't-play-this-it's-too-much-lag settings, and I own the 360 version, there really isn't a difference. And besides, Bethesda botched a lot more than graphics with that game :(

Bethesda didn't botch it, the X360 version is the PC version with all the sliders up and the resolution set at 720p. The only difference is that the PC version can download higher resolution distance textures and stuff. I've seen the Oblivion PC version on the extremely high can't-play-this-it's-too-much-lag settings, and I own the 360 version, there really isn't a difference.

My roommate has the 360 version and I played Oblivion on my PC. There are noticeable differences to say the least - the framerate doesn't chug as much in the outdoor areas on a good PC as it does on the 360, the loading times are faster with sharper textures. Plus, I get a really good resolution that helps the PC version of Oblivion stand out, even if it's not by any significant margin. I think even Gamespot's review talked about Oblivion looking a wee bit prettier on the PC. Even so, the differences are unacceptable considering the superiority of the 360's hardware.

Did you have a HDD? I've never noticed any of those things, but meh, I haven't played Oblivion in a long time, so I may be crazy. And what was a lie Mentok? That Oblivion screwed up a lot? :confused:

I hated the menus and navigation screens in Oblivion. Thank heavens for the BT User Interface mod. :up:
