The way you and others tend to characterize it, you almost always choose to play online with people from your friends list anyway, so the difference seems negligible, relative to what you normally describe.beermonkey@tehbias said:There's a bit of a difference between choosing to avoid racists and being forced to play friends just to get a balanced game.
I have no doubt about that - gamers are a melodramatic lot, after all.This whole kb/m thing is a big can of worms, you'll see.

And KB users aren't going to "force" a situation anymore than racists, cheaters or other unsavory riff raff would - I can start a public match for anyone to join and call it either "No KB Users" or "No Racists" and I think my chances of getting complete compliance from the participants in either situation would be roughly equal.
needless to say the French are odd. (no offense BLim)Blimblim said:The french press release about this was very vague. It was something like Ubisoft announced today that blabla was coming to next gen platforms, including PS3 and PC. No mention of 360, but the phrasing is reallt strange.
kaching said:Edit: I'm not opposed to what you're proposing at all - it's always been the obvious solution to implement if avoiding the KB users is a real issue. I was just addressing your choosing to vs. being forced to characterization of the situation.

beermonkey@tehbias said:Yet some are expecting the opposite...that PS3 versions of cross-platform titles will run in 1080p at the same framerate or higher (this would require over double the fillrate of the 360's 720p) plus more effects.
I'll be shocked if this happens. Happy, but shocked.

gofreak said:All PS3 games can be output at 1080p whatever about the native rendering resolution
That's why I'd be shocked. It just doesn't make sense. Even with HDTV sales rising, 1080p sets will remain a very small niche. Most HDTVs are resolving way less. Same as 360, rendering everything to 720p and scaling from there is your sweet spot.I don't think anyone who is remotely in touch with things would be expecting PS3 games to typical render at 1080p natively, though.
I didn't say GAFfers, dipshit. I've seen exactly such claims at certain other forums of the Gamespot and Gamefaqs variety.mckmas8808 said:NOBODY. He's lying out of his a$$.
