People may disagree because they have an alternative opinion than you.
Your comment was as if you said "How could anyone possibly disagree with my opinion on games."

If you were to state a true fact and then you got disagrees then THAT would be ridiculous, but not with opinions. Well done on making yourself appear intelligent.

Well stated PGR and FM are great games. I did not like GRID demo 1 bit

ElementsUnknown - 573 days 10 hours ago

I love PGR and Forza, but I also loved Dirt. Each of these have different aspects of racing highlighted. I expect GRID to focus on the intense, visceral, white-knuckle experience of racing automobiles. I could care less about drifting but the rest of the demo was pretty awesome, plus I am almost done with GTA.

I really doubt that Grid has any issues locking up. But I would rather have Grid lockup over GTA4 locking on a ps3.

I barely notice any tearing and absolutely no frame rate issues on the PS3 demo. I did notice a tear here and there but you have to look for it and I only noticed it while watching someone else play the game. I don't notice it while I myself am playing GRID.

You want to see bad tearing play the original Moto GP. If anyone has ever played that game they will tell you what distracting tearing is all about. The city tracks on that game were like viewing the graphics being ran through a blender.

The only time video tearing bothers me is if it's a distraction while playing the game. It's not. BTW Codemasters said it won't be there at all on the final build of the game.

But why are we talking about the PS3 version when it's the 360 version that is locking up?

myke6699 - 573 days 5 hours ago

The screen tearing (v-sync) is worst in the San Francisco race. Because the problem Codemaster admitted there was a problem in the PS3 released demo.
Don't get me wrong- my problem isn't with Codemaster, GRID or any games out there that get good reviews only to be discovered later to have inherent technical issues.
As to the MGS4; I'm more or a racer than an FPS kind of gamer so there's no reference to MGS4 since I couldn't care less. But I did buy into the GTA IV hype (although I played GTA:San Andreas) so much so that I was at the midnight sale. It's a good game but not great as the reviews suggested. But after putting about 8 hrs into the games, my PS3 would freeze at loading and caused me (and most PS3 gamers) to lose the saved game . That in my opinion wouldn't have happened had the reviewers mentioned such problem in their reviews. Instead the review was filled with high praise that in my opinion is undeserving.

Wildarmsjecht - 573 days 4 hours ago

MGS4 is not a FPS kthx.

As for the issues with the 360 version, there'll be a patch whenever they can figure out whats wrong.
Just hope that it really isnt an issue with a harddrive or a lack thereof, or something for those who bought it without the room or the HD period.

A few weeks before release, so screen tearing is about as prevalent as it is on the 360 version (i.e. almost never).

SkinBintin - 572 days 16 hours ago

GT Really isn't that great. Yeah, I admit, it looks stunning in most parts. But the handling physics suck. The cars slide in a rather unrealistic manner and the way the car behaves when running off the track onto the grass is far from simulation. Forza 2's physics model is far better than GTp but even it's not what I'd call a simulation. Neither really handle in a truly realistic manner. GTR2 on the PC feels more realistic to me.

Personally, I really enjoyed GRID demo. I didn't expect a simulation, so wasn't bummed out when I didn't get it. I got exactly what I was hopeing for. An arcadey game with a serious feel and impressive crash physics and graphics. Couldn't ask for more really.

there aren't many freezing issues dude, dont get it twisted. yea the 360 has alot of multi-platform games that tend to run smoother, but thats because it was ported over from the 360(hooray for you) but their are "some"(not few) but some games that tend to run better on the ps3. its all up to the developer whether they make it a port or not. soon these games will be a thing in the past. there are a few games ported over from the 360 that run better on* the ps3. that just shows you that devs are getting use to the ps3 and times are changing. just remember, history repeats itself. peace.

1. it does not look any better that is just ones opinion
2. you fail
3. why in the name of god does it matter which version sells more? does selling more make your version any better? with the freezing issues?
4. you probably dont even own the game, you apperntly say you own any game that you comment on and have now had TWO PS3's and sold them both for elites.

Yes you'll have a lot of time to look them over 1 frame at a time thanks to 360's power of freezing.

Stop talking sh*t POG. The PS3 version looks slightly better as I have both demos running (Grid uses Sonys phyre engine). Plus I've started to see more and more that the 360 version suffers from massive frame drops.

When will you learn that you can't compare PS3 and 360 games, by looking at internet videos and stills, they never look like that on a good HDTV.

ummm I thought the Dualshock was analog???

Edit@ Varsarus

Quaz said NG2 is 585p? Damn and the game still has framerate problems. 1080p and 60fps for NGS on the PS3 ;)

I just looked at the Screen shots on that site Varsarus, the game looks like it needs some AA too.

Varsarus - 573 days 11 hours ago

The 360 version looks like a Barney Rubble cartoon from the Flintstones.

The 360 is probably using bloom effects instead of enabling true HDR, that's why you see people say the 360 version on some multiplatform games are very bright, bloom effects is kinda like Fake HDR in other words.

EDIT:

and it seems that Quaz says that NG2 is 585p

http://forum.beyond3d.com/s...

@digger18

Yeah lol, we seem to see the limitations of the 360 :P

but I wouldn't fully confirm that NGS is 1080p, it's been said it's 720p native, if you have the game and have a HDTV, try and deselect it on XMB setting and see what happens, hopefully it will be 1080p :D

suffering from teh spins lately POG? remember that Codemasters devs said that their engine is the same engine they used in Dirt? Remember when Sony confirmed that the engine that was used in Dirt was the Phyre engine, SOnys cross Platform engine? ROFL, the dualshock 3 is not built for racing games, although the definitive racing game is on PS3 which is Gran Turismo 5, the real driving simulator? welcome to the no spin zone POG.
