Remember when he mentioned something about the skin textures and the fact that there were NO people in any of the cities? If people criticize Resistance 2 for looking similar to the first, the same should follow for this. I'm just sayin...

Gameplay-wise I have all faith..


Graphically?

It's the same thing. I'm not a tech expert, but I really don't see a quantum leap from Sigma.

NG2 looks about a billion times more similar to its predecessor than Resistance 2 does to Resistance.

NG2 looks about a billion times more similar to its predecessor than Resistance 2 does to Resistance.

I even recall some ppl saying Sigma looked like an Xbox game. So, by that line of reasoning....

It's unfortunate that your mom didn't actually listen to the Podcast.

That's what your mom said!

Wrong.

 

[Devil May Cry]

Wrong.

This is revolutionary?

No, just badass

 

[GFreeman]

And also gorgeous.

Moreso than Resistance 2 looks better than Resistance 1.

Unbelievable.


Where are the differences? The water in the first pic looks like ass and I don't even want to get started on most of those filler textures. I'm not saying it looks bad, but I will be shocked if it gets a 9 in graphics, especially considering how we've all been spoiled by Bioshock's water, Uncharted's textures, and the amount of polygons say...Killzone 2 has. A solid 8 will do in that department coupled with 9s in everything else.

Anyone saying Halo Wars is going to suck hasn't played an RTS in their life. I think Halo Wars is going to be awesome, but then again I was a huge C&C fan.

I've played Star Craft and War Craft and Halo Wars looks terrible. There's nothing dynamic about it at all. The gameplay video had the Covenant and the marines just standing still and shooting each other. Nothing dynamic or interesting ever happened. Even when they died they just kind of fell over. And not just that, they all fell over in the exact same fixed animated style. It really doesn't look good.

People who played and liked Halo loved the physics about it. You shoot a guy with a rocket launcher and he goes flying. You shoot a ghost as it comes at you and it explodes and you jump over it as it comes crashing by. Halo Wars doesn't seem to have any kind of physics. Not to mention the fact it's a twitch shooter. Halo Wars simply is not.

Did you listen to the podcast in its entirety? I know...it is rather long. They just dismissed it entirely.

Also said..

-NG2 looked like crap...basically. It will be good but it looks worse than DMC4. Dragon Sword is gonna be awesome tho..
-Killzone 2 is overhyped and won't deliver. In fact...it needs to get pushed back (one of the guys disagreed but yeah...)
- Halo Wars will suck
-Resistance is coo
-Fallout will be amazing


and some other stuff I can't rmr.

Resistance sucked monkey

Hmmm... so there's not enough action... I really like the units though. The Warthog looks amazing to use and the Scarab ought to be awesome. The campaign idea sounds cool and if nothing else, I expect it to have a very deep set of options like Age of Empires (StarCraft confined you to only a few strategies).

Monkey basketballs!

The one thing I think that sounds cool is the fact they've hinted at being able to control an army of flood. That's cool.


And the story sounds pretty good too.

We'll see this Wii game in about 6 months.

 

[Electro UK]

Hahahaha!

That made me laugh, DACMAN.

 

[Electro UK]

 

[cookiva]

Rayman is fun on the Wii, though....

 

[Electro UK]

GAY!!!!! We have a gay (possible peado) in our midst!


Either that or you're 10.

 

[블라스]

You hate the Wii now?

I think I have just had all the laughs I need to last me the year. t:

 

[Electro UK]

You hate the Wii now?

Nah, just 98% of its titles.

 

[cookiva]

Nah, just 98% of its titles.

Rayman is the best drunk Wii game of all time, and all naysayers will burn in the fiery pits of hell.

but you have to remember that that demo came out awhile back. There can do alot more to a game right before it is ready to be sold.

 

[DACMAN]

Sure. But all I can judge it on is what they've showed me.
