Hi yall' just got back from an MS press event.... 99 nights and all that good stuff ... hands on later this week... anyway I was told a few nuggets of possible GDC info from sources while there.... Word is Factor 5 is going to have some amazing stuff to show at the Sony key note. One person I talked to also mentioned they saw some stuff specifically and while factor 5 and a few other titles look great on the system ... the overall viewpoint is that its not THAT big of a difference between 360 and PS3 titles.... On top of all this word is we may get a demo of how the Revo controller will work.... Not gameplay footage per' say but a demonstration of the basics... Tune in to AMN for video and more of the event!

Leschni · 22. März 2006 um 11:15

Factor 5 + Starke Hardware = Wuuuah

Glaub das wird ein Fest sondergleichen.

Tong · 22. März 2006 um 11:42

Factor 5 + Gameplay = T_T

Machen zwar ganz schöne "Techdemos", aber als Spiel sind die eben nur mittelmäßig.

Leschni · 22. März 2006 um 11:44

Nunja also ganz so krass würde ich es dann doch nicht sehen. Rouge Leader und Rebell Strike konnten sowohl technisch als auch spielerisch überzeugen.

(Wenn man die Bodenmissionen in Rebell Strike ausklammert versteht sich :ugly:

)

Tong · 22. März 2006 um 12:18

Das ist dann wohl Geschmacksache.
Hab mir den ersten Teil damals zum Launch gekauft, nachdem das Spiel recht gute Wertungen kassiert hat, und wurde sehr enttäuscht.
Die ersten paar Missionen war es zwar noch toll, weil man geblendet von der super Grafik war, aber danach wurds dann recht langweilig und eintönig.
Die Bodenmissionen in Teil 2 taten dann noch ihr übriges.

.ram · 22. März 2006 um 12:21

bei factor 5 bin ich auch noch skeptisch. zwar wird das gameplay sicherlich nicht schrottig sein, aber neben der quasi schon bestätigten bombastoptik erwarte ich auch ein top gameplay.

btw.

willkommen an board.

Leschni · 22. März 2006 um 15:13

@Tong
Natürlich ist das Geschmackssache, wie wohl alles im Leben. Wenn die Titel dir spielerisch nicht zugesagt haben ok, aber deswegen sind sie noch lange keine gameplaytechnischen Gurken. Denn die Flugmissionen waren recht gut. Darum gings mir.

Alter Schwede..also diese GDC hat Sony richtig gerockt. Auch wenn ich kein Freund dieses Ausdrucks bin, sei er mir an dieser Stelle dann doch einmal gestattet.

Das war ne richtig fette Ownage der 360.
Mal hoffen dass Nintendo es morgen genauso gut macht.

Red · 22. März 2006 um 21:53

Wie immer hat die PWNERKONSOLE GEPWNED was das Zeug hält.
Alle PS3 Zweilfer sind eben unwürdige die die PS3 nicht besitzen dürfen.

Dante · 22. März 2006 um 21:53

Ich habe leider noch nichts gesehen um von XBox 360 "Ownage" sprechen zu können. Mal erstes Footage abwarten...

.ram · 22. März 2006 um 22:15

nein - wir machen nur keine copy und paste aktionen

http://www.onpsx.de/news_10504.html

Planet · 22. März 2006 um 23:29

Sehr sehr geil!

Spiele nicht weit entfernt von den E3-Trailern
Region-free
Originalsprache auswählbar dank genügend Platz
Network-Messaging und Friend-Liste auch ingame (hoffentlich abschaltbar)

Es entwickelt sich prächtig! :]

Leschni · 22. März 2006 um 23:42

God of War 2... Holy Shit. :shock:

Das kann echt fast als NextGen durchgehen...

chrizel · 22. März 2006 um 23:44

.ram · 22. März 2006 um 23:47

ganz so toll scheint es dennoch nicht zu sein, da es wohl bei den publishern liegen wird, ob sie regionalcodes und unterschiedliche versionen herausbringen werden oder nicht. ausserdem muss man immer aufpassen, dass spiele auch an die jeweilige tv norm angepasst wurden.

Planet · 22. März 2006 um 23:50

Naja, wenn man eine HD-Glotze hat, sollte sich das erübrigen.

Bzw. ich könnte mir vorstellen, dass die Spiele wegen der variablen Bildgröße sowieso keine fest dimensionierten HUDs mehr haben, sondern auch für 2D-Dinge Vektorgrafik verwenden. Außerdem sollten dank HD-Pflicht (ist doch soweit ich weiß immer noch so, oder?) genügend Reserven sein, um PAL statt NTSC zu rendern.

A propos God Of War 2 und Kinnlade runter: zur Feier des Tages habe ich mir jetzt endlich den ersten Teil bestellt... :>

Dimi · 23. März 2006 um 06:21

Der Satz ging mir auch durch den Kopf

Das ist auch mal ein nettes Bild

Tong · 23. März 2006 um 08:54

Ich hab nie von gameplaytechnischen Gurken geredet.
Mittelmaß, mehr isses wirklich nicht. Ohne die top Grafik würde da kein hahn nach krähen

@ GDC:
Hab jetz schon häufiger gelesen dass die gezeigten Videos teils recht weit von dem CG-Renderzeug der letzten E3 entfernt sind. =(
Ich hoffe man findet bald footage um sich selbst nen Bild machen zu können.
