It's a tie. They both suck and the dialogue sounds like it was written by a 6th grader.

thebudgetgamer4857d ago

i had hopes for this game, i guess i will see later.

sobekflakmonkey4857d ago

@thebudgetgamer I meant to hit agree, but accidentally pressed disagree, sorry bud..

Anyways, yeah they look pretty much exactly the same, i have a 360 and ps3, and they are the exact same, theres one thing i noticed though, the 360 version has more effects at the 'Press start screen' than the PS3 version does, im not saying the 360 is better or anything, but thats all ive noticed...

Blacktric4857d ago

Because every game has to have incredibly good written stories and voice acting right? You just can't have fun with a game like Bulletstorm...

JohnApocalypse4857d ago

There wan't really much dialogue in the game anyway but the the duologue that is there is awesome!

coldfoot4857d ago

Yes, because the competition has good written stories and voice acting and there are only 24 hours in a day, majority of which is spent sleeping and working.

I have a Sony 1080p led HDtv (with 240hz and motionflow, IDK if that makes a difference). I downloaded the demo on both consoles, and the PS3 version runs A LOOOOOOT smoother. I'm not sure if it's the MotionFlow on my tv that makes it look like that or what. I don't get the same kind of performance from the Xbox. Battlefield looks like it runs smoother and quicker on the PS3 as well. Kind of like it's running at a slightly higher FPS.

Carlos_Irwin_Estevez4857d ago

yeah i noticed it too it looks like the framerate is unlocked on the ps3, it was super smooth, as for the game its ok reminds me of gears first person with wise cracks.

diefor4857d ago

I like the bright colors. :)

jay24857d ago

It's a tie, will I cancle my Pre-order, I've got no idead, not sure what to make of this, not enough in the demo, waitng game for reviews.

Fishy Fingers4857d ago

Difficult without side by side, but looks like little in it, which surprises me, expected the 360 to walk away with this one.

Demo was great fun (if a little short) and made a nice break from all the run of the mill FPS thats out there.

PC for me.

Computersaysno4857d ago

Obvious screentearing on PS3. Probably slight difference in some texture work, mostly minute. Nothing to shout about, much like the game itself

CernaML4857d ago

Actually there is virtually zero screen tearing on the PS3 (it only seems to be noticeable during FMV, like in the Mass Effect 2 demo). It's there but it almost NEVER happens. Haven't tried it on the 360 yet since it crapped out on me recently... but according to someone I was having a chat with, the PS3 version actually runs more fluidly than the 360 version.

Computersaysno4857d ago (Edited 4857d ago )

But there IS screentearing. Its obvious to me. The 360 version has none at all. You can see that in this video here too. The 360 version also has better edge smoothing. Just the general 360 advantages that it holds in most Unreal Engine 3 games, slightly better edges, slightly better textures, slightly better performance. The same traits you usually see, all to a pretty small degree that they are basically insignificant.

But they are still there.

Nothing dramatic, nothing unexpected. However they DO exist. Thats all im saying. Its not that great a deal of interest to me because i would have taken this on PC.

CernaML4857d ago

Either you're flash player is acting up or you're seeing things. Like I said, there is virtually zero screen tearing on the PS3. It only seems to happen during the FMV which must be a bug.

You're overreacting for something that's pretty much nonexistent. Better edge smoothing? AFAIK, there is almost zero AA on both platforms because of some weird post processing that gets rid of whatever AA the 360 version has or something. It's like that for EVERY UE3 game.

The game ran beautifully on the PS3 and according to some people who played on both, the PS3 version ran smoother than the 360 version. I won't be able to see it for myself since Microsoft still fails at making good hardware even on their latest remodels. However, it definitely seems like a MUCH better effort than Enslaved on the PS3 which ran like crap compared to the 360 version (although still enjoyable).

Computersaysno4857d ago (Edited 4857d ago )

So you are still coming out with arguments against my comments and you havent played it on both these platforms? I happen to HAVE played it on both.

PS3 DOES tear. Not a lot, not enough to bother anyone. Heck im pointing out here this isnt even a big deal.

360 does not.

Please dont patronise me, its a terrible mistake on your part. You claim i was overreacting when clearly i was playing these things down, thus that is an absurd, ridiculous claim from you.

As far as you know? Then i guess you do not know far enough. 360 can manage hardware AA in UE3 games if it is correctly implemented. I can see that on 360, it is implemented in this specific instance and as such edge smoothing is indeed noticeably better than PS3 here where as usual for PS3 UE3 titles, there is NO anti aliasing, at all. Again as i pointed out was per usual the same difference between many UE3 multis, again as i pointed out wasnt such a biggie.

However that still means my comment that 360 has slightly better edge smoothing than PS3 because PS3 has none at all, stands. You basically just wasted your last reply trying to argue with me and yet still pointing out i was correct. Congratulations.

Everything i said in the first post i stand by and is simply the truth, 360 here enjoys its traditional edge in UE3 multi titles, slight and marginal though it is.

I thought the dialogue sounded like it would get old fast in all the preview vids, but people are saying there are a lot a anus and faeces references, you can tell it was targeted to a much younger audience than me.

I'm still getting it, but I hate that they can't throw in some real humour....ass jokes are the last resort.

Duty Calls - Epic Games' Forgotten Call of Duty Parody

Back in 2011, Epic Games and People Can Fly launched a Call of Duty parody - Duty Calls - that has been lost to the annals of history.

closed_account331d ago

"Duty Calls: The Calm Before the Storm" sounds more like a massive case of the sh**s. 😂

I saw the parody mention, and half expected the ability to drop a deuce on your opponent... I left disappointed.

closed_account329d ago

Never too much Taco Tuesday!! Now if only we could just achieve eternal Taco Tuesdays without the inevitable Wipe-It Wednesdays!!! 😂😂

Bulletstorm - A Cult Classic Worthy of Revival?

Bulletstorm will soon receive a VR remake, but is it worth revisiting? Take a look back at the original 2011 release.

IMissJimRyan339d ago

Absolutely. I remember when the game came out on ps360, I thought: "wow, another shooter" and in the 7th gen that wasn't an unfair reaction.

But when the game was re-release on ps4 I took my time an played it (it was on playstation plus at the time) because, ironically, I missed a shooter in that console. And boy, what a fun game! They made a game to be played and not to be watched. It was a fresh air in the genre that deserved better.

So yes. Maybe it find its audience this time.

SullysCigar339d ago

It's an awesome game. The only exception (for my taste) is the script writing, which is OTT, but I guess that's what they were going for. It does at least match the OTT action and gore. I thought it was great overall and actually being in this game is going to be bonkers!

IMissJimRyan339d ago

Yeah, I agree that storywise it's not an Oscar nominee, but it's like a porn movie in game format.

Abnor_Mal338d ago (Edited 338d ago )

Agree with the over the top script, and felt at the time that was the only thing that people were hyped about, the language and not game play.

But in vr this game is going to be great. It has everything that would make a great vr game. Lots of bombastic action, gunplay, blood, and that leash.

Looking at the gameplay now it seems that the game was ahead of it’s time and was perfect for vr before vr wasn’t even off the ground.

Venoxn4g338d ago

I loved the game back in the day and will love in VR even more!

Yui_Suzumiya338d ago (Edited 338d ago )

I got it on PS3 at launch and am still waiting for the long rumored sequel to finally be announced. Currently have it on Switch and wish a physical version of that would be released. Absolutely love it.

FinalFantasyFanatic338d ago

I actually feel like this game gets revived all the time, not that I hate the game, I actually quite like it, it's just constantly available, unfortunately I'm not a fan of VR so I'll be skipping this version.

Bloodborne is a game I still restart and play every few months. I would welcome just a re release in 60fps with a visual upgrade. It's a perfect game. If I was king for a day I would include the randomizer mods because then it would be a kind of rogue like and I could play it forever.

gleepot374d ago

Sure, ill take a sequel to all of these.
