don't count on rare making a good shooter again, everyone important that worked on goldeneye/pd is working at free radical now, but I mean timesplitters is still great, it feels and plays like goldeneye and pd and free radical actually know how to make a game 60fps unlike rare, seriously which rare game has not had framerate problems since the n64, it's great they push a console to it's limits but it loses something when the framerate constantly dips. Damn you microsoft, why didn't you make a console with a more powerful processor and more RAM than focus on the graphics processor, a bad move in retrospect. View

wow jet force gemini was epically challenging, it was flippin huge! first of all, you had the standard each character has their own level, then after the palace you had each character can go to any level they want, thus opening the door to more secrets (and in jet force a secret isn't just a room with a bunch of items in it) and then after you thought you won they drop the giant bombshell on you that you have to rescue every single tribal. god damn that was hard, seriously one of the most underated and best games I have ever played, mixing up platforming with a 3rd person shooter. ReRelease on XBLA or Virtual Console please, please, please. View

the stupid thing that eurogamer doesn't touch on is the time trials, they're really really fun, something about this game is very replayable, the better you are at the level the more fun it actually is because the game is such a rush. As someone who has the time trial unlocked in the demo I see this being more interesting for me than the the main mode. The game just feels good, I have the demo on xbox and ps3 and can't really notice a difference and dice really nailed it on the simple yet intuitive controls. I hate reviewers for knocking games that don't focus on the story, like left 4 dead will get knocked because it doesn't have a story. But I think when the devs put the emphasis on the mechanics not the story it makes a better experience. Oh and guys stop knocking on the numbers, the review was fair who cares about score, how can you rate an entire game down to just one number, whats the difference between 8.9 and 9. (besides the obvious 0.1) View

just wow, I can't wait 11 days. I don't want to kill this game with hype but it looks like exactly what I need, a non linear shooter in africa with gorgeous graphics, morel dilemmas, and really pretty fire and explosion effects. Plus it won't be mindless like COD, Halo, Resistance or Killzone, which are all great shooters really don't offer any depth except for the multiplayer. View

Doesn't sound too bad, but still. I don't think I even miss the view, I think I miss the great 2d environments, they were so detailed and awesome. And also Bethesda is terrible, just terrible at animating characters, look at all the animations, the melee weapon animations on the enemies are taken straight from oblivion, and hopefully Bethesda fixed the problem with the non consistent dialogue, like people switching voice actors, or the tone of the character changing with each line of dialogue, and if this is taking the more serious route than I'll be disappointed because I really loved the humor in fallout 2.
Oh and as a last note I hope Bethesda puts the funny quotes credits like they had in the original fallouts. View

the 360 is a pirated console? to be able to play pirated games on the 360 you need to modify the hardware, and that is the difference between casual piracy and hardcore piracy, hell the 360 is the tightest of them all (except when it comes to gamertage theft) the wii is open, the ps3 is slowly opening. Besides I think this would be from the pc version, because in case you fanboys didn't know there is this thing called a computer and it is full of casual piracy. So how are they going to lose lots of money, fallout preorders are huge, the game is being released on the 360, PS3 and PC selling from 59.99-69.99. People are morons a pirate will pirate, it's not a lost sale because the pirate would not have bought it in the first place. View

while the ps3 can handle all these things at once, it is divided amongst the cells losing processing power on each cell, much like a dual core or quad core cpu, the 360 is known for it's graphics programming but can have trouble running things like lots of physics and events, it's hard to say who is the winner, we'll have to wait for next gen to see, I think the ps3 is very powerful and more powerful than the 360, but currently I'm having a way better experience with the 360. oh and if Deus Ex 3 is dumbed down because of the consoles than I'm going to kill M$ and Sony View

the human eye can't even see at 120fps so unless you are a robot or alien than 120fps doesn't matter besides, everyone can tell far cry 2 is meant for the pc and 360, they hype the 360 version and show off the prettiness of the pc version, but where's the ps3? I'm guessing they couldn't figure out the cell things, well I'll get it for PC anyway, unless the mapmaker is console exclusive which in that case I'll get it for 360, View

as long as this isn't an action focused deus ex like ie than I'll be happy, Deus Ex was amazing, but one thing about the concept art and screens, it's too bright, and when I mean bright I don't mean like diablo III bright I mean like mirror's edge bright, what the hell, deus ex was like always dark, it gave it a great atmosphere, oh well, as long as like 50% of the game is dark than I'll be happy.
oh and MK, he as just clarifying that because from the preview it only talked about the combat mechanics and didn't talk about the character interactions and story. but again from a tentacle ledge grab and a super wall punch I don't really know about it, the combat in first deus ex sucked ass anyway, all I did was be stealthy until I got close and killed them with the sword, the weapon combat was terrible even after many upgrades and better weapons. View

well, guys, I guess we should just drop the current combat system and introduce the original games system seeing as it was so fun and intuitive, but seriously guys, I don't care about the combat, I care about the story, the atmosphere, the decisions, problem solving and getting sweet augs. But yeah, regeneritive health is not cool, unless, it slowly regenerates and you can still use medkits, but in the first game there was an aug that regenerated your health anyway, but guys, c'mon the way they described shanghai was wicked, I love cyberpunk and this game is being made in montreal, which imo is one of the best dev houses on the planet View

why is everyone here comparing this game to resistance 2, killzone 2, gears of war 2, all of which being extremely linear and G-E-N-E-R-I-C, alternate version of world war II where aliens invade, sounds cool, but when you look back at it, it was executed badly, some generic, shooter with guys in helmets with goggles and respirators with glowing eyes fighting, generic, some over the top cheesy, corning, homoerotic, oversized males slapping each others assess and killing aliens, um generic, plus all those games are linear as hell and you can accomplish alot more technically in a linear game, but on the other hand, you've got a man trying to find a person called "the jackal" in a huge and open world in africa, the story is made by an overarching a.i that decides how the story unfolds based on your actions, so like PC gamer said, when you don't trust someone shoot them, go by your feelings. But yeah, anyway go and have fun with you're 32 player online games because we all basically know that's why the majority of shooters are sold, plus that's the only reason why I would even buy killzone 2 and resistance 2 is because of the awesome sounding multiplayer (not gears though, gears just sucks and the first gears had bad multiplayer) but this game is made for just one player (yes I know there is a multiplayer but the devs even said that this is not their focuse) because anyone can make a good multiplayer game, but it takes lots of skill and time to make a truly good single player game. View

after this fall, I think I'll barely have money leftover for food. mmm, food. View

and? multiplayer was not a hugely hyped portion of this game, in fact it's just there because every fps except the bastard son of system shock, bioshock has a multiplayer, and if multiplayer is the dealbreaker for you than you should probably go back to halo. The single player is all that matters in far cry 2. View

uhh no here we go, personally I think the pc is the best place to play a game providing you have enough cash for it to play most games but I love consoles for everything, their interface, their online, take the 360 for example, you can see all what all you're friends are doing when you sign on, easily manage your hardrive (no digging through endless folders looking for an uninstall exe) it's an experience streamlined for games and yes, you can't upgrade them, so yes they hold back limits on games but they also help pcs out in a way too, imagine this, no consoles, the pc is only as limited as you have cash in you're pocket, every ambitious developer wants to make a game that will push the hardware further and further making you shell out cash for and upgrad/new rig every time one of these games comes out, and while this happens now (crysis) it doesn't happen as frequently because of developers making games for the consoles, it also promotes much more efficient games take far cry 2 for example, it was made in mind for consoles that doesn't mean it's dumbed down it was just molded to fit the limits, on the other end you have crysis which was extremely unoptimized so you needed a high end pc to run it, while I"m not saying everyone could run crysis if it was better optimized but that's crytek's problem and why when they make a console games the framerate will be terrible. anyway, I really hope the 360 and PS3 will get a non dumbed down game if it includes all the features promised and mainains an acceptable framerate (anything about 30fps is good) than I will pick it up for the 360 and PC, PC for the best version and 360 for the map editor, online and the fact that I have a big and purdy tv.

well, when the dashboard update goes live sometime this fall we'll see how much space gta IV is, if it's pushing the extent of the dvd threshold then you will see, but as for the higher resolution thing, yes a higher resolution does mean more space is required, just that the ps3 maximum resolution was lower doesn't mean gtaIV on the ps3 is smaller if anything it would be larger as blu-rays stores things strangely, anyway the reason gtaIV on the ps3 had lower resolution was that rockstar didn't take the time to fully use the PS3's hardware, only japenese devs know how to use the ps3 hardware to it's full extent, no jk but seriously, and don't use MGS4 as an example (in no way dissing it) but just think of all the high quality animations and sound files they used in that game in all the cutscenes plus they probably wouldn't have used compression to be more efficient because they had all that unused space on the BD so don't underestimate the power of the dvd and don't think we're using blu ray to it's limits yet (or if we'll ever in the ps3's lifetime.) View

oh dear, what's this, both consoles will be able to experience this game? well sir, that just plains sucks, to think that a company would want more money and to have more people experience there game is just ridiculous, no but seriously, this is supposedly a very expensive game so unless sony wants to shell out some major cash to cover the difference and then some than rockstar would rather go multiplatform, and to the rest of you stop being such fanboys, to say this whole game won't fit on a dvd (or two) is ridiculous look at gtaIV, that had tons of dialogue and sounds, non repetitive environments, great animations, good graphics and they fit that on one dvd, not to shank blu ray (which is unreal for home theaters) I admit that we need to upgrade the capacity of our storage discs but blu ray was just sony thinking ahead, I think we'll start seeing problems with storage now (which we are) so yah, let's hope this game can be what I want it to be. View

pretty animations, definitly a pick up for my soon-too-not-be-neglected wii. Yay the wii software horizon isn't looking so dead nowadays. View

yes because a bad multiplayer component ruins a game, god, I hate todays multiplayer focused games, while I still love to play headquarters with my friends in COD I love the singleplayer more than the mutli (as long as it's good) whatever, from what I've seen of highway to hell it's just an action/unrealistic/hokey wwII game, while the first two were hokey there was lot's of strategy in the combat unlike games like MOH and COD. I hate how simplified shooters are today, take COD, BF:BC for example while they're all great games they are simplified to hell, you have basically unlimited ammo, so you don't have to worry about shooting, rechargeable health, no inventory, only a few weapons at a time, I loved games like system shock and deus ex, because I had to worry about how much ammo I had, or how much health I had plus how much reserve health I had, or the condition of my weapons, or how they had variable damage and accuracy instead of every gun in cod or BF has a set point of damage and a set point of accuracy. anyway I hope this game isn't some mindless action shooter anyway. View

and to the guy saying "what about bomb instructions and hate groups" you should have read sillilek post better, he said as long as they don't break the laws then it's fine. View

amd I said I apologize if this game really didn't interest you, I enjoy slower paced games myself, but yeah, and to people saying it will be the best rpg ever, you're probably wrong cough* fallout 2 cough* peter molyneux is a lying douchebage, you will never know what to expect until the game comes out, he lies and overhypes games to death. so don't listen to any article that quotes him. he's already ruined that for black and white 1 and 2 and dissapointed me with fable (while still a solid game he said there would be features in the game that weren't there. And again, you can't judge a game by watching a 7min vid, and of course you are entitled to your opinion as I am mine.
edit: oh and bubbles for an intelligent rebuttal and making me feel like and arse. View
