Yeah, I definitely saw that too and for me that's the most annoying shit ever. It's probably in both, but it seemed far more prevelent in the PS3 version in that comparo.Mr. Durden said:
EDIT: Note especially that scene where he drops the grenade in the tank, it seems almost so awful that its unbelievable.

Awwwww here it goes...

So it doesn't have more screen tearing? (as the video seems to clearly indicate)AgentOtaku said:

From my 2 hours or so of hands on time, I never once said to myself, "oh shit, there's tearing all over the place!"
Honestly, there's no more tearing in Mercs2 than there is in your average, non-vsync, game
One thing about these comparison vids is, while my PS3 games always look less 'contrasty' than the 360 version (360 has an exaggerated gamma curve, ps3 has a proper one), they NEVER look as washed out as they look in the GT comparos.
Still .. shame that the game has so much tearing on the triple.

Well, maybe a better comparision is the 360 and PS3 version of Battlefield: Bad Company then
...sure there was more tearing in the PS3 version, but barely and never prevented me from enjoying the game's visuals. See Uncharted
But as I said in other threads, I'm also a PC gamer who's been leaving Vsync off for more than a decade now

Can you get a good grab of the tank QTE and the bit when Mattias lands on the beach?

So I watched the video again, and seriously people, if THAT amount of tearing bothers you....then wow
You make it sounded like it was Prey levels of tearing or something

O rly? I always thought tearing is a side-effect of letting the framerate reach higher numbers, and details in the environment is what would cause the tearing. And there are no real details in that closed off part, compared to the other environments shown in the video.
And I've noticed tearing in that version, too. Though I've played for over an hour and only noticed it like the one time.
No excuse for it though, the game DOES look PS-two-y. Granted, I found myself forgiving that a little as trees, fences, bushes destructed all around me, but damn... I swear Just Cause, an early 360 game and PS2 port, looked better than this.
And what's with the voice samples? Christ, if I hear one more comment about an AK-47, I'm really going to shoot someone.
Still, I couldn't help but smile upon calling in my first air strike, and the tank sequences have me laughing giddily out loud.
This game is definitely rough around the edges--shamefully so--but I will have fun with it.
P.S. My little Aussie radio operator sounds cute.

PS2 level graphics?? Are we playing the same game? Seriously, the graphics aren't the best this gen, but they are still well ahead of last gen, and for an open world game where everything is destructible, I think it looks pretty damn good.
Also, there are tons of little touches that are nice and some fun physics going on. For instance, I was in the middle of a fire fight and shot out the stake holding down a rope that was keeping a pile of pipes in place. The pipes then rolled down and crushed a couple of bad guys. Definitely a cool moment.
Also, I finished off a mission, with a helicopter in hot pursuit at the time. I got the contract complete message, accepted my payout, and I figured that was that. I drove off looking for some new things to do, and noticed that the helicopter was still following me! Just because the mission was done for me, doesn't mean it was over for him! :lol I had to take him out to get him off my tail.
Fun stuff!

^^When this man speaks of PS3 versions of games, I listen^^ I trust AgentOtaku when he breaks down the PS3 version of a multiplatform game. I share the same concerns he does, from how well the PS3 version of a multiplatform game looks and runs, if any features may have been cut out, if (especially if) fps or third person shooters on the triple have shooting mapped to the dreaded R2 (please tell me it's R1 for Mercs 2?) Impressions seem pretty solid on this, now I just need the moneyAgentOtaku said:

Played a couple hours of co-op last night. It's a damn fun game single player, but co-op takes it to another level. The seamless integration is awesome, my buddy didn't even know I had joined his game till I jumped in car with him. I wish it would spawn more enemies or increase the difficulty though, it's almost to easy with two people.
Saw another hilarious glitch, a motorcycle was coming down the street with noone driving it, steering and everything, lol. Also these two VZ jeeps had rolled a UP truck over, they drove right up to it and kept shooting till it blew all three of them up, was hilarious. It also froze once loading a mission.
Game just keeps getting better though as you get more into it.

here's the controls...R1 is mapped to fire
Though, I've actually gotten over my days of loathing R2 fire. I've gotten used to actually (thanks to extensively playing GTAIV)

Yeah baby! Damn, I hate being broke. This game looks like it could be a nice time waster till the other big hitters start coming out. I just had to pick up a new game so I ended up getting Ninja Gaiden Sigma (Greatest Hits price with original packaging, can't beat that!) But I still have some Gamestop credit and this game looks like a lot of fun. What to do....AgentOtaku said:
Ugh, I knew GT was garbage with this but now I have proof.
They didn't let the friggin texture load on the 360!
and a yuge comparison if you want to see

That Eurogamer review is horrendous. Calling the game devoid of excitement and personality is the absolute most incorrect thing you could say about it. Maybe they were accidentally playing GTA4.

I dunno I think ppl with low standards should quit gaming. I mean all that destruction just does not feel dynamic it seems like things just crumble in the same way each time. It got repetitve IMO. The game still pretty fun but a definate rental.
