Thank you, the people coming in saying "Yeah well, 7 year old console lololol"
Clearly haven't played Tomb Raider.

Bioshock from 2007 was a technical masterpiece? What? I thought the art direction saved it because there was absolutely nothing about it that screamed high res textures.
No such thing as editors anymore
Wow what an incredibly assholeish thing to say and to do.
Yeah I could see a lot of companies making for a quick cash garb and porting thier current gen games in a bundle and upping the resolutions, textures and lighting a bit - maybe a few extras as a selling point - and releasig them most likely on the digital stores for a lower price.
"19.99 Bioshock Ultimate franchise pack."

Yep, same. Just like all current gen multiplats.
Sorry for those that didn't make the switch.
Seriously, that hasn't actually been true.

With that trollish title, I was expecting much worse.
Framerate dips and some muddy textures on consoles is not SHOCKING NEWS.

Some people don't give a shit. Nobody wins.

The only thing assholeish is something as ridiculous and navel gazing as a "Review in Progress"

Well that partly explains the awful VGA footage.
Ehhhhhhhh.
Bioshock:
CoD4:
This may be an unfair comparison until high end PC GAF comes here but the art direction helped Bioshock a ton.

If it's only minor drops in framerate, I probably won't notice. Plus I don't think I'll be too bothered by the muddy textures.
Disappointing to hear, though.

Dead Space 2 is a good game. Dead Space 2 is scary. Dead Space 2 is awesome in ways that it is awesome.

Pretty sure the console versions will be just fine. Sure, they are limited technically, and there's no surprise here. They had all the time necessary to polish it, no doubt IG made a great work.

benevolent sexism
To play devil's advocate, if the information in the article is worth posting and sharing, then isn't it worth clicking?
how?
Why is a review in progress incredibly stupid?
I hope 1999 mode is worth jumping into and not another one of those "hey we 'remember' our PC/harder-core roots, here's a difficulty for you we spent maybe 5 minutes tweaking but never balanced" afterthoughts.

50" Pioneer Kuro Elite + big surround + comfortable couch = relaxing gaming to me.
Sure, I could hook up my PC to the same, but it's something that is far too much work for me.
Dude you took there content. Content you felt was thread worthy posted it here and went out you way to make a comment of denying them clicks. That's a asshole move. You could've said with a grain of salt or something. But a deliberate attempt to take there business while using there content is pretty disgusting.
To be fair these are the guys that (fairly) did two separate Bayonetta reviews but neglected to do one for PS3 Skyrim which WAS unplayable.
i wonder if my HD Radeon 7870 will run this game >
haha just kidding poor console-only owners, I remember only mid-way into this past gen I still hadn't got a gaming grade PC. Didn't even know how to build my own. With the help of that neoGAF PC thread, Evilore and others, I built myself a damn mean PC back in 2010. Then since I got comfortable with building it, it became easy to upkeep parts and swap slowly so the expense was much lower over time when I need it. Plus since my brother-in-law gets parts all the time, it also helps.
It's so much better to do it that way, though, slowly upgrading PCs and keeping up with what the games demand than to have to do it all at once, much more manageable. Highly recommend the neoGAF PC Build topics.
My problem is that I've got the know-how to build my PC, and the money... I just don't have a place to put it. If I did end up building a gaming PC, it would be just that, a gaming PC; I'd leave it connected to my TV and I wouldn't use it for anything else. Right now, in my crowded apartment, it just can't happen (as much as I'd like it to). I know those "Steam boxes" are supposed to be coming out later this year, are there any other really small gaming-PC options out there?
Hold on now Stu, I acutally heard somewhere the PS3 sku might be the lead of the two.

Because I don't need you guys wasting my time, trying to get more clicks for each individual update. It all reeks of desperation and feeds into the publisher daily trailer release hype bullshit.
I'd prefer a world without them to be honest.
The fact that you can't access it until you beat the game makes me think it's the latter and they're trying to sweep it under the rug to reduce the likelihood of it being noticed and scrutinized.
All you need is a long hdmi cable depending on where your PC is.

$5 for a 10 ft cable is how I game on my TV, though I prefer gaming on my monitor.
Was going to get the PC version of this game anyway if the reviews are good.

If Gamefaqs is the source, probably false.
I thought you already played the game?
1999 mode sounds like a check box to help sell the game on PC.

From the IGN perspective I think it's a cool way to keep longer coverage on a hot title (which I'm sure is the reason IGN does it obviously).
And also stuff like this can help consumers.
Seems like win-win, no brainer to me.
It's literally no work at all.
HDMI cable ($5)
Xbox wireles receiver ($15-$20)
Done.

I agree. It's way worse to post something on a gaming forum and say that you don't want to give them clicks like theyre the devil or something like that. I hate some of this stuff that sometimes appears here on GAF and other forums... happens to some IGN and Kotaku articles most of the time. If you dont like them just don't visit them.
Same. Ruh roh!!

Yes, the current consoles are not 7+ years old and in desperate need of a replacement, the games are just "poorly optimized".
