Quake Wars 360 doesn't have cockpit view

talkplaystation has spotted that the 360 version of Quake Wars doesn't have the cockpit view while the PS3 version does.

"It seems that the best version of Quake Wars is the Playstation 3 version because the Xbox 360 version does not have cockpit view… no one knows why its not like its something that will demand huge power.

So how will this effect 360 users? Well i find it harder to aim in third person view in a tank and switching to first person gives a more precise, more accurate aim because its kinda zoomed in more. In fact in games like Battlefield i always switch to first person view whether flying a helicopter, jet or driving a tank."

PS3 version = definitive version confirmed. PS3 version was so good, they downgraded all the textures and handed it off to the mart to do the port and somehow they still managed to get the cokpit view in.

PS3 FTW!!:D

Although I have no interest in the game. If I did, being that they created the additional views for the PS3 and not the 360, that would be unexceptable and because of that, I would buy the game at all they ommited the views and I ommited the purchase.

Jamie - wtf are you talking about the 360 version has the 2 different views of the TV in GTA IV.

Anyway, I would rather lack a c*ckpit view than have worst textures and performance. This game blows anyway but it blows especially hard on the PS3 (must be all that cell power! LOL)

ps3 has bluray so it has room for bigger videos on the tv in gta4 it has nothing to do with power of the system just the help of extra space on the bluray disk

Not a chance, this would hardly impact on the size of the game. Frankly if even the developer claimed size limitations I wouldn't believe it.

I hate to see people write this unjustifiably but I honestly think in this case it's just nothing more than lazy developers. Maybe different teams handled the different ports.

well the PC version required 5 gb and the console versions according to ign i think were stripped down of a few things (not sure why but ign PS3 version scored lower?)... i think it is not size limitations.

Oh, and btw, i heard the reason that the 360 version doesn't have the 3rd person view could be because two different companies handled the ports.

Well we know what they goners say its not good so who cares....But the question is why did they not include it in the 360 version. maybe was limitations on dvd9 disc that they could not fit it on.It looks like dvd9 becoming a real problem with developers and its going to get worst cause they goner have to step it up a level when like killzone2 comes out....Games are not getting smaller they will need more space to grow thats how its always been in gaming history

Both GTAIV and Quake Wars were lead on 360. Those extra features that PS3 received were afterthoughts. I'm sure in c0ckpit view will be added through a patch. I think that's really important to gameplay. The fullscreen TV mode in GTAIV...not so much.

I thought the console version of Quake Wars was done on 360 first. Does the PC version have inc0ckpit view? If so that is totally strange that the 360 version doesn't have it.

With GTAIV the 360 was the lead platform though.

...and the 360 version of GTA4 will be optionally 10+ hours longer in a few months...and the 360 version doesn't freeze as much...and the 360 version allows custom soundtracks...and the 360 version doesn't require you to RUN OUT OF HDD space while installing the game for a mere 2 second decrease in loading SOMETIMES...and the 360 version has been declared the superior version for various other reasons by nearly every credible source.

Oh, nm, the PS3 version had more pix in the opening and allowed for close-up TV view. It's better, my bad.

Or it could jsut be that it took longer to load up the PS3 version initially meaning that you saw more static pictures.

"It seems that the best version of Quake Wars is the Playstation 3 version because the Xbox 360 version does not have c*ckpit view… no one knows why its not like its something that will demand huge power.

Are they serious? How does that define the game at all? I might as well say more people on 360 have headsets therefore all online games are better on 360. It's just an unbelievable fanboy clutching at straws. Move along.

What is this fanboy stuff? If anything the c0ckpit view is worse because you dont get to see your surrounding areas, Why would you want to limit your view to just the front? Do you play inside view in GTA4? I think not!

How could this have happened i mean and they had to do was:
Step 1. Rip off BF2
Step 2. Lazily port to consoles
Step 3. REMOVE C0CKPIT???
