Zedsdeadbaby posted:XV isn't going to reach the quality expected of it by sheer virtue of being a formerly abandoned PS3 game hacked together at the last minute to save on funding. I personally think the character designs are dire and very Japanese (they look like a K-pop band) but obviously that's subjective. It just seems imaginatively devoid. Conceptually I think it's a really interesting spin on a typical story - the main character's home kingdom is the victim of a pre-emptive war declaration and presently on fire, but he and his friends are half a continent away from the battle. They need to road-trip to where the main conflict is taking place, gathering intel and strength along the way. If they play it right, it could turn out to be something fairly unique for Final Fantasy, with news from home coming in the form of gossip and broadcasts without the main character getting the full picture until he jumps into the war himself. Of course, they could also go the datalog route again. Because that worked so well last time.

haveblue posted:IIRC God of War 3 got upgraded to native 720p60 after the demo ran at something below that (probably 720p30). They actually were targeting 1080p/60 for it the final game's framerate unfortunately fluctuates regularly between 30~60 at 720p, though I guess that's not a massive downgrade or upgrade one way or the other. Though it was still waaaaay better than Ascension's constantly going into the 15~25 territory.

The kids and I play it quite a bit on ps3, and while a fun game, it doesn't really give me a workout. Yeah, same here. Just Dance has really lax, quirky grading and it's very easy to slack off as the game really won't kick your rear end for being lazy like it should. If you have a tablet and a smartphone, there's a freemium one that has a couple of free songs you can try out.

Well, uh, the writer of FFVII is working on FFXV and the character designer (and former director) is Tetsuya Nomura who also worked on FFVII's character designs. The lead game designer is Takatsugu Nakazawa who also worked on FFVII.

Syrinxx posted:Sniper Elite III (Ultimate edition) comes out tomorrow - is this game any good? Is it the one with the x-ray nut shots? Honestly, I found it to be dull. It's like the foundations of a great game are there, but they aren't really fleshed out at all. The stealth is bland, the combat is bland, the sniper shots are ok, but the x-ray poo poo seriously gets old after the 50th time you have seen it and unless you turn it off, you will see it a lot. I want to say that the original was a much better and fleshed out game, but I haven't played it in ages, but I remember it feeling quite a bit deeper than this.

God of war 3 is still gorgeous, I'm surprised there hasn't been a PS4 remaster though.

In Sniper Elite, if an enemy sniper tagged you with a bullet, it actually hurt. In the sequels getting shot is just a minor inconvenience. In short, Sniper Elite was very slowpaced, tactical and a difficult stealth game. The sequels, not so much.

Sony should remaster all exclusive PS3 games to the 4. The Xbox converts who never owned a PS3 would appreciate it, and I am dumb enough to repurchase them all.

I know in the original Sniper Elite, the first level is pretty wide open and open ended. But I own Sniper Elite 3 and while they are slightly open ended, I have been running into quite a few choke points

One of your teammates (the blond kid with the dual firearms) is explicitly stated to have little to no actual combat experience. As a result, his "combat style" consists of him flailing around and rolling in the grass like a third-grader playing an imagination game in his backyard. It's a good start.

haveblue posted:IIRC God of War 3 got upgraded to native 720p60 after the demo ran at something below that (probably 720p30). The final version doesn't often hit 60 fps, but it's still a big improvement over the E3 demo, both in performance and visuals. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-godofwariii-demo-vs-retail-blog-entry I'm looking forward to comparing the demo of FFXV with the final version, since Tabata has said that they're still going to improve the engine after the demo is finished. Sometimes a lot of little improvements are made when a game is pushed back from Q4 to Q1, like Resident Evil 4 and DKC Tropical Freeze. In RE4, The demo build from the end of 2004 had grenades on the L trigger rather than the knife, which you had to equip like a gun, and still had the old inventory system where every item takes up the same amount of space. I said come in! posted:I couldn't stand Ascension. The changes to the combat mechanics made the game frustrating and the puzzles were stupid. Yeah, parrying was changed from just pressing L1 when the enemy attacked to holding L1 before and pressing X at the right time. It was probably changed to add balance to the multiplayer mode, but I never played that. Instead of having different weapons, all you could do was change the colour of the blades to affect what type of orbs drop from enemies. There weren't any elemental weaknesses to exploit.

I think I remember Naughty Dog saying something along the lines of PS3 development being all about moving tasks typically done by the GPU to the CPU, because the PS3's GPU wasn't as good as the 360's, but the Cell was great for parallel processing and crunching floating-point numbers. Porting The Last of Us to the PS4 involved moving a lot of those tasks back to the GPU, since the PS4 reversed the balance of power by having a relatively weak and slow CPU, but a powerful GPU that could also handle a lot of GPGPU (General-purpose GPU) functions, like calculating physics or particle effects.

Aren't they working on God of War 4? I mean that show we had last year with everyone wearing Kratos shirts fooled the hell out of me that they were basically saying God of War 4 is being made. I mean I think sometime has passed long enough that another GoW shouldn't hurt.

Just played the Bladestorm demo and had fun. But am I right in guessing that this will become very, very repetitive as Tecmo Koei games tend to get? Not knocking, that's what the games are all about. But since the setting and gameplay is different, plus there seems to be a deal of character customization - will I be doing more than running around a massive map killing things repeatedly? I'd like to see use of formation tactics ala Total War or deep squad combat like Mount and Blade

The original version of Bladestorm was super repetitive even by Omega-Force games standard and I doubt they've added enough to make that much of a difference. I wish the demo had had some of the Nightmare scenario stuff because I'm guessing that's going to have the most work put in to it.
