Army of Two’ becomes 2008’s first All Formats No1 to be based on new IP and is EA’s first new IP All Formats No1 since ‘Black’ two years ago. Released exclusively on Xbox 360 (66% of sales) and PS3 (34% of sales)

mighty_douche5927d ago

Disappointed that UT3 isn't doing better. Coming from a PC back ground I've spent countless hours fragging away. I think a lot of people are giving this a miss due to CoD4, and that's a real shame.

fenderputty5927d ago (Edited 5927d ago )

regarldess of COD4. I think less people like UT due to it's computer origons and it's speed. It's not being aired in commericals 24/7 on TV like Army of Two is either. At least here in the states it's that way. Arggg ... I hate EA too.

mighty_douche5927d ago

Same here in the UK. I haven't seen a single ad for UT3, but i can't seem, to escape from Army of 2. Guess EA have more money to throw at advertising.

Still, I'm gutted for Unreal, I'm sure if i could sit down with any PS3 owner and a copy of UT with 20 minutes showing them whats possible (especially with the MoDs) they'd run out and snap it up.

Blademask5927d ago

Advertising budget has everything to do with Army of Two. Its a terrible game, yet its steady climing all charts.

Another shooter with a ad campaign behind it. The better game is UT3 hands down.

But you see how much Epic spends on Advertising? I think 3 dollars and twenty cents.

A new trend is starting to no longer be that. Its standard to make terrible games, bland generic titles, included with bugs, and then bash it over the consumers head with non-stop advertising.

Congrats to everyone that falls for this stuff, you are ruining the game industry.

fenderputty5927d ago

Most people don't care enough about these things though. You and I can notice a drop in framerate, bugs or horrid camera control but, the average consumer won't. Not only will they buy the game because it was advertised so heavily but, they'll also like it cause they didn't notice the flaws and loved the two masks and generic story.

The masses still like Brittany Spears and Pop music too. The masses in general just piss me off. lol

mighty_douche5927d ago

Bubbles all round for thinking for yourselves!!

Cartesian3D5927d ago

cooking mama 2 in 11th spot.. and UT3 in 26th ..

what happend to UK people ? they want to cook in the games instead of killing?

BTW cant wait for "MORE and MORE and MORE and MORE brain training" ...

so PS3 9
x360 10

sounds logical

Snukadaman5927d ago

top 10
4 360 titles.
2 wii titles.
2 ds titles.
1 pc title.
1 ps3 title.

surprised the ps3 version of army of 2 is so low...usually games like this are neck and neck.

doodle5927d ago (Edited 5927d ago )

PS3 version of DW6 is neck and neck with X360 version

PS3 ARMY OF 2 -- 4

X360 ARMY of 2 -- 1

Uncharted has moved up the chart but Mass effect/halo 3 have totally disappeared

PS3 --9 games ( 2 new releases)
x360- 10 games ( 4 new releases)

After teh release of GT5

it will be

PS3 --20 games

x360 --0 games

PS3 outsold x360 in HW sales for both January and February in UK

No need to mention other EU countries since x360 doesnt exist anywhere except UK in EU

Gam715927d ago

Doodle? Does that stand for your brain.

If the same results were reversed you would be screaming this as proof (yet you cant provide any) of 360's demise.
Yet its not so you say, well its close!?!

then come out with after such and such the entire chart will be PS3!!! with no 360 games?!?! A complete takeover the charts and no doubt you mean every week.
That never happened with the ps2 so no way it will with the ps3 given its position in sw sales and given the 360's (higher ww, check it out) but also given the wiis place.
Which trumps ps3 and 360.

Deluded deluded deluded, narrow minded, pointless (your arguments and you) cant see whats in front of them but has to tell everyone, in the future this will happen.
Cos it isn't now is it. Ps3 has no dominence. The wii does and against the 360 you win with regards to this and that here and there but lose this there... etc.

stick to making stuff up about the future because the facts do you wrong.

InYourMom5927d ago

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2's Scope Was Impacted by Xbox Series S Limitations

Wccf tech writes: "Kingdom Come Deliverance 2's scope was impacted by the Xbox Series S hardware limitations, as developers could only make a game that was 25% bigger than its predecessor."

This is the issue with things like this

Xbox Series X is apparently to MS the worlds most powerful console

However the Series S is obviously a limitation because it’s underpowered and developers have to go for parity.

So what’s the point of the world’s most powerful console if you are holding third party developers back? They aren’t going to push themselves if they have to think about the weakest console.

The issue wouldn’t be as bad if it was just Xbox but you are also affecting the PS version aswell

I think developers need to start just taking advantage of a console and if one of them can’t do X Y and Z then f*** them…why should the others suffer. What’s MS going to do? The bigger the franchise the least chance MS are going to tell them to f*** off. Baulders Gate 3 seemed to have stood their ground and suddenly their “strict” parity rule didn’t really matter. We suddenly got super optimisation efforts for the Series S that got things sorted.

anast7h ago

I agree, and the sad part is use normal folk saw it the second they announced their plans.

Abear214h ago(Edited 4h ago)

Agree 100% this is why I didn’t want the M$ Monopoly, now PS5 version will be held back too.

If PS5 Pro comes out and Series S is still a thing it’ll be interesting what differences and what devs choose to do. Really hoping Rockstar pushes the PS5 pro with GTA6 and we get the best version possible.

outsider16242h ago

Good ole S indeed. Everyone knew this all along. S was holding games back...Now where the hell is Orchard i want a word with him.

LucasRuinedChildhood12h ago

More info from the author of the article, I think: https://www.reddit.com/r/ki...

Quote:
"1) I was told this info from the producer of the game Martin Klíma.
2) He specifically said the game will have only one mode.
3) And this mode is 4K 30 on PS5/XSX and 1440p 30 on XSS.
4) He said that the game is already running north of the 30 FPS cap so the performance should be stable on launch, much better than KCD1.
5) The limitation was XSS because of the 10GB memory. He said that's why they wanted to make the game 25% larger.
6) Speculation on my part: the output resolution is probably upscaled and the reason why there won't be a 60 FPS mode is because it'll most likely be very CPU heavy, like Dragon's Dogma 2 for example."

Doesn't seem like they're adding a 40fps mode on PS5/Series X for launch even if they can handle it.

Sgt_Slaughter7h ago

I'd much rather have 1440p/60fps or even 45fps. Having just one, even with the Series S in mind, is disappointing.

franwex6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

Remember when xbots were adamant that the series s won’t hold back the gen?

Microsoft just needs to let go of the mandatory parity. Who cares if your grandma doesn’t understand that a game cannot be played on the S. It’s not like it she can buy you a physical game for it anyway. Before buying the game put up a notice that it only works on series X. If you’re buying for a friend-allow for a refund.

Bam. Everyone is happy. Most series s owners are for casuals that want Game Pass anyway and most likely don’t purchase most games.

If the developers want it to run on S, let them figure it out.

Chocoburger39m ago

If it were Series X only then they'd only be selling to 25% of the Xbox Series userbase, and that's certainly not worth the time and effort into doing a port. Could just do PS5 & PC instead. No compromises needed.

Jin_Sakai6h ago

“During the event, the Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 producer also revealed that on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, the game will run at 4K resolution and 30 frames per second“

Another “creative decision” right? 🤦‍♂️

IHateNate6h ago

Amateur hour. Very incapable developer.

Outside_ofthe_Box5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

Since you're not an amateur and clearly know more than them, can you over there and help get the game running on the S without having to sacrifice their true vision. Us gamers would really appreciate you using your wisdom for good 🙏

IHateNate5h ago

Thousands of games run just fine on S.

But Kingdom Come is the game that can’t. Must be one hell of a game!

franwex3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Thousands of games run on PS4 and on Switch. If developers want them to run on those systems. Fine. Those two platforms still get new games. Sony isn’t making studios also make a ps4 pro version, or Nintendo a wiiu version. Microsoft technically is.

IHateNate2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

If games like Alan Wake 2, GTA6, COD, hellblade all run on S, no excuse for this 100x smaller and 100x worse looking game to be held back.

outsider16241h ago(Edited 1h ago)

"Thousands of games run just fine on S.

But Kingdom Come is the game that can’t. Must be one hell of a game!"

Kingdom come 2 runs just fine alright. Its the SCOPE that they want. They had to cut it because of the stupid S series. Hellblade2 ran just fine too..but im pretty confident if it was just the X in mind, the scope of the game would have been much bigger.

IHateNate1h ago

So their scope is greater than that of GTA6 and warzone? Wow. Crazy
