The mp of the ps3 demo was without doubt more blurry than it was on the 360, however if your playing it are you really going to care its not as if your going to have the 360 version running to the side of you to compair. I played rdr on ps3 even though i have an xbox and enjoyed the game, i will be doing the same with this as i have no friends on my xbox getting this making it an easy choice for me. Its looking the 360 one will be sharper but that both console versions are looking pretty nice, get the version your friends are playing or the version you like the pad on.

First of all, you know as well as I do that that is not why embargoes are put into place by publishers. There's no altruistic plan to ensure that the hits are spread around. It's all about protecting day 1 sales.
Secondly, if that's the result then so be it. If sites choose to rush out poor reviews then the readership will go to other sources.
Well you're flat out wrong here because the 1UP and GiantBomb guys have previously talked about adhering to embargoes due to repercussions from publishers in the form of access to future content.
Furthermore, you're contradicting yourself. If an early review would get a website "all the hits" what reason is there to abide by the embargo other than future repercussions?
This issue is BY FAR the most prevalent in the games industry so 'grow up' is a perfectly apt term. Sure, press screenings for films often ask critics to hold reviews until opening day but these are often broken and action is rarely taken by the distributor.
In the games industry, embargoed game reviews are treated like the fucking nuclear codes.

Very cool launch trailer. Hope the console reviews for this will be good, I'd like to pick it up tomorrow.

Matt Peckham over at PCWorld posted some impressions earlier today. (I'm sure lots of people will note, vocally, that even though he's at PCWorld he's posting 360 impressions, but whatevs.)
Sounds good to me.

wow that's pretty positive
Well I need to go to bed before I spoil myself further, but I am quite impressed by that 360 stream. Makes me want the game...
*edit* LOL at the guy getting owned by the flanking alien while he tried to camp the other one. I was so hoping the AI was at least smart enough to do that.

Can't wait to get the game. This will be my first multiplayer fps experience, I'm more of a MMORPG guy. Going pc version of course, though I might get the Xbox controller in the long run if I get owned too badly.
For the people who bought it on the EA store or Download2Drive, does it install like a standalone game that allows me to use commands like +g_radialBlur=0?
It seems kind of odd to me that their site hasn't released all info by now on all maps, weapons, attachments etc and that you have to go to links like this to get your information, unless I missed it somewhere.

Watching the stream. Getting a strong Halo feel, albeit with better graphics and ai.

Damn I hope your right because that was my biggest problem with PS3 version. But my baseline was the MP demo. Also comparison screens with the 360 version shown earlier in this thread displayed the same problems, not sure if they were grabs from the MP demo though?

Watching the record of it, looks great seems he has a sweet capture setup as it looks great and framerate seems very steady.

Knew this would happen, was just going to rent it, but then I make the mistake of watching a stream...

whoa did anyone else just see on the stream how the alien kicked down that cop car and it went rolling down the hill, all in real time? that was really really cool.
Yeah, and I could have sworn I saw an alien shoot down a tree earlier, don't think it was scripted. AI doesn't look super impressive so far, but at least it's partway there!Big Ass Ramp said:
The dynamic lighting is VERY impressive, things like alien shots going behind the player and then highlighting the walls as they explode. I hope the lighting in this makes Epic actually try for dynamic lighting in UE3/UDK. It may be really unlikely, but it'd be great to have competing engines without long baked lighting times. :O

looks like this does the same thing as homefront and plants a big "press A to skip" over the cutscenes. I hate that.

So, if I buy this, what do I need to know story-wise from the first game? Anything? Characters? Should I just read the Wiki?

No one knows. They're still too busy arguing over the graphics. Is it even a game?

Guy sounds like an dolt. That and my assumption is he's playing a pirated copy. I have this theory that when you're playing an illegal copy of a game, you just don't generally get as much enjoyment from it or treat it in the same vain. Obviously not always, but most times.
People who download games tend to go through games like candy. Whereas when you buy something with your hard earned, there's that extra incentive to really give it time and effort and get your money's worth.
