Doom 2 (and 1 and 3 for that matter) were a nonissue for me on an unmodded DualShock3 personally.

Wish I'd played Prime to give an opinion - unfortunately I'm a recent console afficianado so my GameCube was literally only used for RE4. Lenas: Better tools don't invalidate skill - just makes it easier to peak.

They have stated in the past that they scaled down the difficulties from planned prelaunch and the PS3 only Impossible mode with Vita Chambers off was how Hard was initially planned. And launch version Hard was design version Normal etc. If you get the chance try it on PS3 with Impossible...

That is a great point Sean - I have been exclusively talking singleplayer (and rarely coop for trophies). I do love MP in some games but FPS isn't that genre besides TF2 types that have classes. And absolutely Lenas - you were supposed to be a normal guy in 1 and a walking behemoth on 2 -...

Caliane: Mechwarrior style control sets that encourage people to buy overlays for the keyboard weren't generally considered a positive. Flight Sim detailed controls and "jump in and have fun" don't really mesh well. That's not a console thing, its a widening your market thing. I remember...

Shrug maybe its my hands (they're weird due to genetics - basically my ring and pinky are useless) but I don't find a mouse or trackball any better once I adapted outside of explicitly sniping.(and we're talking $60-100 range "gaming" mice and Trackman Marble's - not shit) But as stated I'm...

Console controllers are just as good for FPSing once you adapt to them, the process does take a while however. Plenty of console only FPSs created the fast paced definition we know today. And Doom/Quake (probably Unreal too but haven't played it recently unlike the other two) are paced pretty...

Interesting - wish I still had the 5870 to swap in and test things next time I play to give some feedback - but my midrange machine has been upgraded to a complete beast since then. (Amongst other things SSD'ed and an Nvidia GTX 680 - wife's is a clone too except 6970DD for hers) Building a...

Even if he didn't do the work, it isn't illogical to assume that something that he's completely at the helm of (which many of the later projects he wasn't) he could piece together similar teams to those that he helped put together in the past. It's the same reason why a CEO from corporation X...

Yea leader scenes were one of the first places performance seemed to crop up - never made sense to me - guess they keep the world loaded fully while in the scene.

Played it on a 5870 before without hitches pre-G&K would tend to think its not drivers. Unless you meant a literal 5800 - that likely wouldn't have the horsepower for DX10 mode in any decent resolution, Civ5 in DX10 was quite demanding for the timeframe it came out. Maxxed settings on DX10 at...

Absolutely wasn't meaning to say it was survival horror - just meant that it was the closest fit. (Although the PS3 only Impossible difficulty did get close to SH at a few points) Its just a closer fit than wizbang shooter where the scenery and lore is a momentary blur - RPG/Shooter like...

Really, something with looting, exploring, minigames, vendoring, tactical setups for ambushes (traps etc), limited resources, is supposed to be a fast paced shooter? There's more that Bioshock has that's more in sync with survival horror which is largely opposed in philosophy to a fast paced...

Its disheartening reading the last page and seeing a number of people, including Tuco, not understanding that Bioshock (nor System Shock) were ever intended as rapid paced shootemups.

Confidence in a project to preorder is no different really than supporting a Kickstarter for a project that is currently in vogue - you put bones down on a title, so the company in question assumes your confidence represents 2-3 more sales beyond your own which leads to more units being ordered...

Barring the $500+ bracket, ATI haters are clueless - especially quoting driver issues that 10:1 since 2009 severe driver issues have been Nvidia over and over again.(not shocking since ATI almost entirely follows industry standards and Nvidia shortcuts their drivers ala 3dfx) Just like Tuco...

Dandai, did you not play Thief 1 or 2? The combat while doable absolutely was difficult - the "must fight" sections of 1 still give me nightmares.

Nod nothing bio about water more than anything else. Biospheres IRL are all landbased for the one's I'm familiar with for example.

Nooooooooo =( Why are all my excited for games seeing a one month slide this year.

Civ 5 with Gods and Kings is wonderful - without I'd not bother. Civ 5 with it finally felt like an improved Civ 4.

That is always the disappointing thing with most studios is that if you love something and you "need" more of it - it's a trickle of 6 months of DLC or so, then a year or two wait. (Or they rush and the quality suffers for it) One title a year really "feels right" but so few companies have...

4 absolutely, 5 went heavy action though

Honestly if Dead Space 3 is the example they're gonna follow I don't care - the clip reload thing could be bad or notsobad depending (ME3 MP had it with in game currency or cash) As long as its optional stuff like both 3s had I could care less myself - I won't spend cash on it but if someone...

Deep Down looks gorgeous that what the old man caps were from? And any info is its going to be Dark Souls style or Dragons Dogma style)

Yea definitely the hardest part of final chapter - but never found that part hard - died on the elite brute once I think.

PSN Store has a blurb on the top bar about an up to 75-85% sale for the next two weeks as well - but doesn't look like anything is up for it yet (besides the voting ones but those aren't 75% - all 30-50%)

I felt the same way about 2 and its offshoots too - game being fun got me past that though.

More AC3 ship stuff - oh hell yes. Weird that the timeframe looks to be before AC3 though. And how is this going to tie in with no Desmond?

No, people conflate the importance for the mostpart - but there's a few gems that bring you back. Like my SNES I have for just ChronoTrigger since I hate the other rereleases controls except GameBoy but that's too tiny to enjoy the same. Realistically though otherwise I've been able to use...

Probably just tossed everyone up there that got a PS4 Development kit and assumed they were developing for them, would be my guess - a leap like that makes sense. Especially with Sony EU which tends to be a bit... oddly managed. Still a hefty number of EU publishers still on the list though...

Emilie: Not saying its accurate - but AMD has posted benchmarks in an artificial environment that stays ahead. Intel right now wins because of better threading and operation subsets largely - things that may not be relevant to a different architecture. Its possible their benchmarks were...

Technically speaking Intel is better with Windows - its quite possible their chip architecture is superior when you've got an OS tailored for it.

Has a console ever been regularly CPU bottlenecked before? Not that the AMD chip in question bottlenecks on anything I can recall throwing at it. (And mine is technically one down from the closest PC equivalent) Not to mention price point is a huge deal which if you're referencing the chip I...

Yes and no - I was answering a bit tersely - to be verbose - the big difference is that so much of the OS in each case can be turned off when necessary for performance. PC OS footprint has to stay relatively static at all times, they can adjust the footprint of a console OS much more freely...

And no OS bloat/multitasking. Especially OS bloat.

Cabit: isn't that 9? I'd agree on up through xeen though. For me: EQ, Alpha Centauri, Master of Orion 2 (is this seriously its first mention?), ChronoTrigger, and Arkham Horror (boardgame)

Heh, felt the opposite Templar's were all couches or corrupt so went mage myself in my real (not for trophy) run

I guess you didn't follow his response to much - he was flipping out about being repressed, not at you explicitly - I don't like the characterization, but they explained it in the dialogue that he basically snapped lashing out.

Final Stage (on the planet with the marker v1.0 and the Hive Mind) was the easiest part of an Impossible DS1 run IMO - I'd run a section there over most of Act 6-10 any day of the week.

PSN is going to carryover but not be integrated into the new system is my bet so you'll have PSN for old stuff on the PS4 but PSW for the new. Keg: I can't name a 1080p BR I own that fills the normal 25g discs ATM - and the 4k demo that my local HH Gregg runs for theirs is a full length...
