Nice. Not that bad. GTAIV was like 15 minutes.

 

[Dresden]

Huh, I might actually get it for the PS3 instead of the 360 now.

 

[Dead Prince]

hmm, Gamespy, is that good or bad?

Magnus! You got the juice now. Can't wait for technical impressions.

 

[Dead Prince]

terrible.

 

[Magnus]

Man, I'm falling asleep. Between the occasional long load and this interminably slow introduction, I'm ready to play something else. :lol

No framerate problems to speak of yet, but about 20 minutes in and I haven't really played yet, it's all story. Quite gorgeous to look at though, and horseback riding controls pretty nicely.

Graphic whores are going to cry foul over all the jaggies in this game though. They rear their head every now and then and they're ugly to look at at.

Said "Installing" on a black XMB-like screen as soon as I launched the game from the XMB, and took about 60 seconds or so.

Is shooting with L1/R1 or L2/R2?

 

[Magnus]

Is shooting with L1/R1 or L2/R2?

I don't even know yet, nearly a half hour in.

edit- alright, default is L2 to aim, R2 to fire.

 

[Red Blaster]

Is there an option to change it to L1/R1?

could someone make me a gif of 1:46-1:47?

I will pay you with my love

I hope that's the right scene:

does the game look like 545p native res upscaled?

 

[Magnus]

Is there an option to change it to L1/R1?

I'm looking and can't find one, no. Going to Options -> Controls displays controls for "On Foot" and prompts you to use the left thumbstick to "Change", but doing so just shows you the controls for "On Horseback", "Driving Vehicle" and "Driving Shotgun".

does the game look like 545p native res upscaled?

I have absolutely no idea how to tell. :lol

TV/PS3 defaulted to 720p, though with a game like FFXIII, it went to 1080p. I'm no resolution/video guru, so I'm not certain what this means.

Powered by Gamespy has me worried after what we went through with Borderlands on PC.

 

[OldJadedGamer]

I wanted to pre-order off amazon but they wanted to charge me 6 dollars just to get it on release day; not worth it. I'd rather have it in my hands on Tuesday.

Sign up for a free trail of Amazon Prime and then order the game. Shipping will be free. You'll end up paying an extra $25 bucks if you order it in a brick and mortar store.

Probably due to lower resolution for the PS3. COUNT THE PIXELS!

 

[Bossman]

You should try out the multi freefroam.

[Magnus]

Man, my PS3 (launch 60) is running noticeably louder (and hotter?) than usual with this game. wtf

 

[Dead Prince]

please just be your ps3 dying. please just be your ps3 dying.

Constant streaming from the disc will do that to any console.

Thanks for answering in a timely manner.

The PS3's almost 4 years old, hard to believe there still exist developers who are too dumb to realize that L1/R1 are the primary shoulder buttons on the Dual Shock. 360 copy it is.

 

[Beardz]

I little something died inside of me...

 

[lantus]

Please be customizable, please be customizable...

I don't think it will be, doesn't it use something similar to GTA IV's squeeze trigger half way for free aim, then all the way for snap to target or something like that?

 

[Teknoman]

Wont the controls still be mapped to triggers on the 360?

EDIT: Well I know you can completely turn off auto-aim, so shouldnt really be too much of an issue.

I'll still get the ps3 version, but I will still hope for a patch that allows us to switch. No damn excuse.

[Dresden]

Awesome, Magnus. Thanks for helping me make up my mind on which console version to get.

 

[cjtiger300]

We called him out on this in the other thread, and he never responded.



Got my hot, buttery popcorn and fizzy drinks ready... let's go!

Lets get this straight, it didn't need any response. You can look at my post history, its there, I am not hiding it. I was saying it very tongue in cheek anyways, so sue me for it.

Like I said in the other thread, if there are no "significant issues" as his source said, I will call him on it. Everyone of you should. When you don't name your "trusted source" you are opening yourself up to a can of worms. When you are the leader of a community as large as CAG, you don't need to stir the console war pot, and he seems to do this in his podcast. Maybe it gives him hits, I don't know. Call him biased, call him and xbot, call him whatever, but at any rate it is wrong.

 

[Dead Prince]

long load
jaggies
uncustomizable buttons


sounds like a winner to me.

 

[xxracerxx]

Is the movement while running around smoother than when playing GTA4?

I was just playing The Ballad of Gay Tony on the 360 and the controls were kind of getting to me while on foot (it is true that I havent played it in ages, so that might be it).


EDIT: Magnus, haha I was just checking your profile to see where you live (I want my copy now!), and saw that we have the same birthday.

 

[Red Blaster]

It wouldn't be much of an issue if the feedback was instant with just a tap of L2/R2 but assuming it's similar to GTA4's (terrible) shooting controls, you'll have to press them all the way in.

Thanks. Will buy when cheap.

Yup, that's a deal breaker for me. My hands cramp up something awful when I have to use R2/L2 for aiming and shooting. GTAIV was a nightmare, the shoulder add-ons help but it's still a pain.

I'd also like to know this. It's terrible on the PS3 too.

In some of the RDR videos it looks like he clips his animations for walking, so I'm hoping they fixed it.

You need these

yeah I think open world games are giving my launch 20 gig problems...BC2 has all kinds of graphical issues for me.

 

[mujun]

Sorry, but Cheapy comes off as very biased IMHO.

Fair enough, you might be right.

Thing is Death Dealer was trying to make that decision for us. Not the type of reporter I like, makes me feel like he should work for Fox News or something.

 

[criesofthepast]

Was GTAIV L2/R2? Not that big a deal for me. Still would prefer L1/R1 but I'll manage. I don't play long enough at a time for my hands to cramp.

Long load times is really shitty to hear. Why didn't they make the install bigger to reduce those? 600mb isn't much of an install for what we're used to in open world games.

 

[Loudninja]

Sounds good, I actually prefer the triggers so I am good.

 

[Revolutionary]

Powered by Gamespy has me worried after what we went through with Borderlands on PC.

Pfft, try Borderlands on PS3. Voice chat was absolutely broken for weeks after release. Fucking Gamespy...

Just STFU please.

I get that, you should have seen what people were saying about my in the other thread. You would have thought CheapyD was there first born, lol!

 

[Big-ass Ramp]

edit: nevermind, I'm not going to wade into this one.

Yeah, GTAIV was L2/R2, but with cover mapped to R1, it feels aight. Not sure cover being mapped to R2 would feel as good. With the Real Triggers, it's a non issue with me except when I go back to Uncharted 2 MP I throw grenades by accident for a few matches, lol!

 

[Mayyhem]

Hmm I hate jaggies. Oh well

That R2/L2 thing sucks for all you PS3 guys, they need to have customizable controls, I mean at least let the people customize the trigger buttons. Weird.
