What exactly is the dilemma? Is it the discs?Gary Whitta said:I still don't know which pre-order to cancel! I am going to wind up with both versions

So turn off the things that 'hand hold' like the vibrations and the music that plays and BINGO no hand holding - problem solved, nothing to worry about! WOW!

I prefer to be on 360 because of the controller and achievements. Don't care about disc swapping or the extra case. The only factor now is if the 360 version looks or runs any worse than PS3, which we still don't know.

I was talking more along the lines of the core game mechanics and narrative - you know, the stuff you can't turn off in the options menu. But sure, I'll remember to adjust the vibration. Thanks for that one.

It looks weird because it looks inconsistent - you have characters moving around like they've swallowed a stick during gameplay, with seemingly clunky controls and linear speed camera, and then cutscene starts and it's all mocapped. But it's mocapped with mediocre looking body models that have faces applied with much more detail. Also because the method used here is smoke and mirrors that's not so difficult to see though at times. Due to it being some kind of video mapping, skin at times looks like it's floating over the face, and eyes and teeth look like stickers. I personally find facial work in Heavenly Sword still more normal looking than this, and the method used there makes more sense for high end graphics in the future, as it's the same kind of approach done for offline CG animation, with facial features actually looking full and 3D.Trickster said:

You are such a chore at times. You're actually making me avoid this thread because of your constant and aggressive interjections. Why is everything a competition for you? LET'S JUST LOVE THE GAME AND EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE INVOLVED. :lol

Damn I don't think we will ever find that out in time to take pre-orders, comparison sites usually put up their articles on the day the game comes out, sometimes days after.Funtruck said:

I'm gonna install it all at once, I have plenty of room on my harddrive and I'm not going to want to do it later.

Yeah, look at it this way - when PLEASE INSERT DISC 2 pops up, you're not going to want to quit out of the game and do a ten-minute install before you can keep playing. Do all three discs before you start.LyleLanley said:

Are the reviews for this up or still embargoed?

Some people like having it on one platform. Especially if they're trying to get their gamerscore up.

This is the third multiplatform game I've purchased for the PS3.
The other two being Final Fantasy XIII (self-explanatory) and Burnout Paradise (actually played it on both X360 and PS3 due to it being affordable and boasting unique achievement/trophy sets on either system).
Was pushed over the top in light of this being ported to the X360 (not the other way around), the aforementioned disc swapping (which doesn't usually bother me) and the system-exclusive (at least for now) case.
Chances are I would have done the same for Mortal Kombat and/or Portal 2 but my roomies picked them up for X360 already and I can just borrow those.

Oddly enough I have the same feeling. I think it has to do with the fact that I've been getting achievements for quite a few years now.

People started with achievements and built their rep or whatever.
Then Sony basically copied achievements and renamed them trophies.
You may argue semantics, but I think 50 trophies for 1 game dilutes what a trophy is.
They could have had made each "platinum" a trophy and have it mean something, be visually displayed, etc. but they just ripped MS's system so people don't generally care as much.

I'm not, I'm just talking the differences of why people don't care about trophies.Dynedom said:
For the love of god don't overreact.
If you/anyone likes trophies cool. Some people don't.

I have a feeling my girlfriend is going to be addicted watching me play this. She loves watching ID discovery which is mostly about murder and crime cases. I usually make her shut it off because its not the most pleasant thing to watch before you fall asleep at night. I just dont like when she puts in her 2 cents while im playing because she usually ends up right and gloats about it.

Damn G and B being so close on the keyboard, just read the definition of bloats for fun and got a good laugh out of it.
The 360 version looks pretty good from the stream I was just watching. From some of the vids ive seen the city at night seems kinda dull, hope theres some night atmosphere in this city.

I am so hyped for this week! I'm picking up:
My new (used) car
The new Danger Mouse X Daniele Luppi album "Rome"
Rebuying "Discovery" - Daft Punk and The Incredibles on BR
AND LA Noire (PS3)!
Now, all I need is a callback for one of the jobs I've been trying to get and this week will be perfect

Just watched the first 5 min Its better then expected

There are millions of whiny 5-year olds on Earth, and I AM THEIR KING.
I watched all of this, and even though it spoiled the beggining of the game for me, this is the performance confirmation for the 360 version I was waiting for. I don't care if there is a better version at this point, the 360 version performs as good if not better than RDR and that's all I needed to enjoy the game.Tricky I Shadow said:
I think deep down you know you'd be most comfortable with the 360 version. I highly doubt that the difference will be huge. I know you've been avoiding the streams but that First 40 minutes of the game link up top shows off the 360 gameplay, it might serve you well to check it out and see if it's acceptable. I think it's pointless to compare it to the PS3 version, what you should be worried about is how it runs, PERIOD. That video can answer this for you.Gary Whitta said:

Seriously.
Rockstar isn't going to slap their name on some low quality product, they know that their name holds an extreme amount of weight.
Sam and Dan Houser are also executive producers on the game. It's gonna be a big deal.
kaskade said:
I don't think any games are just yet; Unless I'm wrong about how the update for that worked, a game needs to make sure it's using the space and I don't think LA Noire had enough time to work that out.
Low-g's post is a good point though, I forgot about the world needing to be on all 3 disks.
