we get it lenhart ng2 runs at 585p

sonarus5801d ago

lol all his stories has failed. Like the faithful ps3fanboy he is he will keep trying. Don't give up lenhart...you can do it:D. Fanboy of the week on torrence davis podcast

morganfell5801d ago

It is immaterial the resolution at which the game runs. It either looks good or it doesn't. Who cares except the obsessed who should be gaming rather than worrying over such trifles.

chaosatom3335801d ago (Edited 5801d ago )

hmmm, looks like xbox isn't the most powerful enough is it?
Well we already knew that with GTAiv, you know the more pop-in and framerate issue on the xbox.

but again this is just a reminder that games can Run Better on ps3 contrary to popular beliefs.

Xbox fans that claim that 60FPS and 720p can only be done on xbox, get over it. Ps3 is on the same level as the xbox.

pharmd5801d ago

im not bothered by this.... if it looks great on my tv, thats all i care about.... i dont need tech specs to tell me if a pic is great or not, i have eyes for that

besides, its gameplay im into.... look at the old SNES graphics we used to love and share, nobody cared then

dragunrising5801d ago

Comparing NG Sigma to NG II is like comparing apples to oranges. Yes, they are still fruit and taste good...yet they are different beasts entirely. Despite a lower native resolution, many, many times over it has been said that the sequel looks better than the PS3 port of the first. I am just stating a fact. There is also more going on in the sequel. This has nothing to do with one console being more adept. Both consoles are good at doin what they do: playing games that look great. No one will cry that NGII is of lower resolution. Same thing is true for the PS3 version of GTAIV...lower resolution...no one cares.

Ghoul5801d ago

i dont wann a jump the bandwaggon but sigma is a 1080p game (dunno native res though)

chaosatom3335801d ago (Edited 5801d ago )

well that's not my point sort of.

I am saying that people that say xbox is superior to ps3 because they boast higher resolution and better FPS is simply not true.

barom5801d ago

It can be upscaled to run at 1080p but it's native resolution is 720p. Which is confirmed from that very same forum thats in this article.

Statix5801d ago

Is it just me, or is it only people who don't own HDTVs that say resolution doesn't matter? Games like Haze, or NG2, which have resolutions of ~580p are just excessively low in this category, and as an HDTV owner who was expecting high-def games this generation, I'm extremely disappointed by all these games that are essentially running at non-HD resolutions.

PJ5801d ago (Edited 5801d ago )

Wow if it runs 585p on the more powerful 360 it would run at 480p on the underpowered ps3. The 360 wins round.

morganfell5801d ago

Statix - I own a 52 inch Sony XBR and a game either looks good or it does not. Plenty of games look great and it isn't so much native resolution as it is other features from the art, engineering, and programming portions of the development.

BattleAxe5800d ago

Wow, the XBOX 360 is sooooooooooo POWERFUL. Its mindblowing what this machine can really do when developers put their minds to it.

I bet the Nintendo Wii could handle this game.

Martini5800d ago

There are little more pixel in 1120x585 (NG2) than in 1024x600 (COD4) according to Quaz51 who does the pixel counting. So what is the big deal other then Lenhart and his imaginary buddies beating off over this story ?

SL1M DADDY5800d ago

You just won the "Ignorant User Award"! Congrats!

Open Zone is dattaway --->

iHEARTboobs5800d ago

I don't think this really has to do with the 360's power or lack thereof (but i can be wrong). I think this has to do more with Itagaki not being as badass as he thinks he is. Way to pie yourself in the face buddy! haha

Who cares? Bob Dole doesn't care. Bob Dole is sick of all these native resolution articles. Watch, come June 12th we're going to have an article that says MGS4 only runs at 1079p nativly and it's not worth playing anymore. Bob Dole has a SD tv so there's no point in him giving a crap about native resolution when he can't even play it in that res.

Condoleezza Rice5801d ago

ALL those sites that confirmed the native resolution of Halo 3,Cod4,and GTA 4,got their info from the VERY SAME guy who's now stating NG2 runs at a Non-HD resolution.

The irony is,Itagaki just claimed the Xbox 360 is the most powerful console.So you can see why people care,because the same person who claimed 1 HD console to be the most powerful of them all,produced a game that isn't in an HD resolution.

LJWooly5801d ago (Edited 5801d ago )

Yes, but Itagaki is the douchiest douche to ever grace doucheland, and I don't think even the most die-hard 360 fanatic takes him seriously. You'd have to be braindead to do so.

Yes, they may support Microsoft, but they're not THAT stupid. Itagaki is the undisputed true ninja-douche champion of the gaming world, that is a fact.

madness10105800d ago

this was probably the funniest series of comments i have ever read on this site! so i definitely agree with ljwooly and bob dole basically based on humor alone...(and i own a ps3 so naturally im a little biased but at least i put it out there)

This has been on Main page then removed on.

The people that reported it are the same people that approved Haze and GTA IV on PS3 resolution.

So. If Haze and GTA IV on PS3 resolution can be on main page. why this cannot be?

Breakfast5801d ago (Edited 5801d ago )

Haze and GTA Resolution...was reported by Ripten and EuroGamer, this is a forum. The forum one, for Haze wasnt approved either.

http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News...

http://www.n4g.com/NewsCom-...

The same people who reported the Haze one, are the same people who approved this one, even though its a forum, and even though its been failed countless times. And most have a similar console of choice in mind.

Haze
http://www.n4g.com/PopUpPag...

NG
http://www.n4g.com/PopUpPag...

Get a credible source to post, and it should be approved no problem. NG was a forum.

PS: Dont let names fool you. Half of them are the same person...lol.

dantesparda5800d ago

That half of them are the same guy?

kyzer19785801d ago (Edited 5801d ago )

Absolutely agree. The people who are reporting this, don't seem to understand that the duplicates were never approved because they cancelled eachother out. Earlier stories were reported as being duplicates of eachother so the story never got approved and the pending submissions cancelled eachother out.

DarkOcelet2981d ago

I almost got the Lost Planet 2 one, but that get no One in the Leaderboards was effed up.

Many of those trophies are just time consuming, if we are going to talk some seriously hard platinum trophies, put MGS4 in there.

I will never forget the day i got that Big Boss Emblem.

Complete the game in less than 5 hours
Use no continues
Use no health items
Kill no enemies
No alert phases
No special items
Complete the game on The Boss Extreme

One of my proudest trophies :)

skcej2981d ago

yeah the Lost Planet 2 one was pretty ridiculous with the amount of time you had to put in but when I researched the list I found a lot of people saying that the Nom de Guerres were really annoying/ quite tricky to get. I did think about putting MGS 4, maybe it should have got an honorable mention. Impressive trophy to have though dude! :)

kotaku772981d ago (Edited 2981d ago )

Yeah! specially when you got to play over and over MGS4, when you could be playing, idk, MGS3 or any other game

FallenAngel19842981d ago

I'm only one Trophy away from getting the Platinum in MGS4, but unfortunately it has to be that damn Songs of the Battlefield one that requires me to get all the emblems. It's such an eyesore to be so close only to be set up against such a daunting task

Are AAA Games Too Easy?

"Perhaps extreme difficulties are still here, just presented in different ways. Multiplayer focused shooting games (for the most part), have average (to-below) difficulty within their campaigns. However, jumping online and playing competitively can produce a welcomed contest." KJ of Play Legit Writes

From Software thinks differently

bacrec13285d ago (Edited 3285d ago )

Real Talk. Wish more companies would get the memo.

joab7773285d ago (Edited 3285d ago )

So do I. Unfortunately, it doesn't sell so it doesn't get made. At least it doesn't sell 5-10 million like Assassin's Creed, And all the others. Bloodborne is one of the best games I've ever played, and it ruins other games b/c it expects better of you. It wants you to play it for awhile, instead of moving on to the next big thing a week later.

It's goal is to consume you, and not just your time, but your patience and your will, and it promises, unlike other games, to reward you for that time w/ actual satisfaction.

breakpad3285d ago

eeh ?? have you heard bloodborne or Souls games ? ..no if the develeopers dont seek wide casual acceptance (aka all kids must play the game) no ... are not easy

bouzebbal3285d ago (Edited 3285d ago )

i think western games are getting much easier than ever.
japanese are the only ones who dose difficulty. Games like Ninja Gaiden, Souls, Bloodborne raise the level.

johndoe112113285d ago

Why? That makes no bloody sense. Most games have varying levels of difficulty, if you are someone who likes to be constantly punished and frustrated while playing a game simply start off playing the game on it's hardest difficulty. Why the hell should they make all games with only one level of frustrating difficulty, to pander to a select few who have nothing better to do than spend 10 hours trying to pass one level?

This argument makes no sense and since bloodborne released people act like they've forgotten about difficulty settings. People saying all games should be difficult and punishing are selfish and inconsiderate and don't give a damn about anyone else's time or preferences. if gamers want to spend over a month trying to finish every game then they should not complain when only 5 or 6 games get released every year. It's a senseless foolish expectation.

rawrock3285d ago

From Soft makes Souls games hard the wrong way. Slow clunky controls and questionable mechanics and design. Anybody can make a game where you die a lot. It takes more talent to make a game with a good difficulty balance and smooth gameplay. I have not played Bloodborne but at least it looks to be step up in gameplay over the Souls games.

3285d ago
freshslicepizza3285d ago

from software became a aaa developer based on expanding its fanbase who often felt neglected to play games where if you die you suffer for it. the first demons souls game was not marketed as a aaa game, it grew from word of mouth and they managed to fill an area that was being ignored.

lots of aaa games are made easy and that makes sense since they want the barriers of people to play them to be as wide as possible. the more accessible the more will play is what they are thinking because aaa games cost a hell of a lot more money to make now than they did 30 years ago.

AngelicIceDiamond3285d ago

The industry doesn't use the word easy but "accessible" so yes games are easy.

joab7773285d ago

It's because they know that you won't be playing long. Only certain games get played over a period of time longer than 2 weeks. They just want your money, and want you to finish it. And they know that if you get the Souls reputation, you are screwed.

700p3285d ago

it depends on the game really.

BitbyDeath3285d ago

Depends on the difficulty setting.

Perjoss3285d ago

I find the souls games a bit too hard personally but I think Bloodborne has perfectly balanced difficulty.

KryptoniteTail3285d ago

Too hard, actually. Well, not "hard" but complicated, with long boring tutorials, and unbalanced sections and they try your patience with collectathons, bulls*** missions and try to make up for it with half hearted multiplayey and/or bitchy trophies.

I prefer more indies these days. AAA can still be the best around but most are boring rehashes and DLC fests.
