I'm very curious on how well the 360 version turns out given the PS3 was the lead platform, and if there are any issues with movie quality ala FFXIII.timetokill said:

cool. no i haven't heard anything about it, but ever since i switched to OpenDNS everything to do with PSN on my unit has been waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay faster than with comcast DNS. i would be pissed if they just up and decided to keep us from using custom DNS because they felt it might make it more secure.
i've tried putting the DNS in my router before but it didn't seem to have the same affect as setting it on each machine. thanks for reminding me i still need to learn and acquire my network certification.
i'll put my derp hat on now.

It didn't really look like there were many movies based on the trailers I've seen... most looks like real-time cutscenes, which I'm personally hoping for anyway.

We'd better get to posting, then!the chris said:
On this topic of superior/inferior versions, does GAF have a dedicated thread which explains which version of a game is best to buy, while summarising the flaws? Or can I be directed to a place that does this in a simple manner?
To add some context:
- I don't really know or understand the technical stuff that much. All I know is framerate and screen tearing. One is what makes the game stutter or slowdown I believe and the other is when the picture doesn't really line up.
- I have both a PS3 and 360. I use the PS3 for online gaming as I don't want to pay for online. This leaves single player games only.
- I generally tend to buy PS3 games when they're multi-platform because I have an older brother who I occasionally lend games to. I recently bought Assassins Creed 2 on the PS3 because I can imagine him enjoying that. But something like Fallout 3, I understand, doesn't run very well on the PS3 and I can't see him enjoying it either, so I'll likely buy it on my 360.
- I genuinely don't care about little differences. I'm only interested if there's a significant performance difference. Do you know of The Last Remnant for example? It's a 360 game which runs like crap. Now imagine there were two versions of this game and one ran like that, and one ran much better. In that scenario, the version I buy really matters because one is just really bad.
Any help would be much appreciated.

If there isn't an OT for this type of topic, there should be. I'd love to know what people think about different versions of games.

Specifically, he mentioned that Amazon handled the downtime really well by writing this huge blog post detailing causes of failures, the specific things that Amazon tried to fix, etc. Basically they made the entire failure transparent and explained it all to their customers, in a way that demonstrated that they knew what happened and that they were knowledgeable enough to fix it quickly and handle any such failures in the future. The professor specifically mentioned that although some sites were down for a number of days, explaining the entire situation probably gained them lifetime customers and/or won people on the edge.
The professor mentioned that Sony, on the other hand, continually used vague and imprecise language and refused to detail anything about the situation.

The PS3 is the lead platform, as it was originally a PS3 exclusive. The only footage of the game has been shown on PS3. If Rockstar has shown anything this gen, its that they show the superior version of the game in videos. Also there is the disc issue. It's one Blu Ray on PS3, but three DVD's on 360. Honestly, I think it will be fine on both consoles, but with the PS3 version you aren't going in blindly as tons of footage has been shown. We haven't seen a lick of footage for 360.

So, your paying 30 grand a semester to attend MIT and your professor choses this as his topic of discussion? Sounds like a great bang for you buck there.

That blog has a list of all of the games that have been compared by Digital Foundry on Eurogamer, Lens of Truth and IGN Insider. The blog takes the Digital Foundry result as the defining one where the games have been tested by multiple sites, and you can also click the icon next to any of the games to go to the specific article where the games are compared.
For more recent games, you can hover your mouse over the icon next to the game and read a very brief summary of why one version was deemed to be better than the other.

In a perfect world, that's the way it would be. Of course, in a perfect world, devs would optimize the game for each console, making them equal in the first place.

It was understandable in the beginning because of how hard the PS3 was to program for, and the fact that the 360 had a year head start, but now there's really no excuse.

I dunno at least it's free. I can take a few less features for free. But yeah, obviously online is the thing Microsoft does the best at among the three. XBL is the most enjoyable service for me by far. All my friends use it and it's easy to see why. That said, one way or another Sony would eventually come around. Next up: Removing the retarded de-bubbling feature of their downloads from their network. This is not good design, Sony.
There was a time when I thought Microsoft really changed their fate and came up with the least bad system of the three competitors (I hated Xbox; I really liked Xbox 360 for a while. Recently, though, since Kinect they jumped off the deep end).
Now I don't really know who I prefer since they are all doing things I find equally appalling. I'm not even sure I can find a lesser of all evils at this point.
Save for the PC, of course. Were it not for the PC Master Gaming Race I'd go mad with all the fuck ups from the console manufacturers. At least to Sony's credit, their first party is absolutely dominating this gen as far as I'm concerned and they are just continually investing in new fire. I love that they're not afraid of trying new things and making new hardcore IPs. This is the first gen I think I've ever overall preferred anybody first party offerings to Nintendo, but that is where we're at. It's a remarkable time.
I fully expect Stream to be Nintendo's return to form, though, so I suspect that crown will be Sony's for only a very short time.

Why wouldn't he give a current event/discussion for Technology classes at Massachusetts Institute for Technology?
It's relevant for IT classes anywhere, even if there is little to go by right now. Discussing it with other examples is fine. "MIT" or not. Stop being a jackass.

Not if they're not up to date. Wanted to play Portal in offline mode, NOPE.avi, had to sign in and update. And you can't earn achievements while offline, so fuck that noise. :|

Sometimes it's the small differences that matter if you're paying the same price for a game. I particularly cannot stand screen tearing, but because the PS3 has the bulk of my overall trophy/achievement progression, I tend to sacrifice the visual and technical luxuries that generally come with Xbox 360 versions.
Lens of truth is a site dedicated to such technical comparisons http://www.lensoftruth.com/

I'm very interested to see what Nintendo's online strat is for their next system. 3DS made a lot of good moves away from DS and Wii online, and I hope they make further improvements.
Amir0x said:I've been jealously peaking in on my fiancee playing Portal 2 PS3 just long enough to punch a wall and walk away in disgust <
You have amazing restraint. I think if I were unable to have synched up my Portal 2 on day 1 to play on PC I would have broken down long ago and just bought a steam copy.
They have to have it up before next Tuesday. I mean, LA Noire is being advertised exclusively by Sony along with the extra PS3 bonus case...which can't be redeemed. Unless it's on the disc, which I doubt since most PS3 exclusive content has been in the PS store.

ppl wouldn't be able to set ground rules or try and set rules that always favours their console of choice. for example you're only allowed to use 360 non hdd load times etc. - as LoT does.MoneyLaunderer said:

Sony's had less bumps in the road than most other platform holders and this is the thanks you show them? I've been angry about this as much as the next guy but it takes a sane person to know when to push and when to forgive. I'm going to do my part by spending $80 on PSN when it comes back up and I suggest you do the same... I suggest everyone of the 77 million users do the same. Imagine what 1.6 billion dollars can do for a company like Sony after this kind of crisis. We should all be thinking about what we can do to help. If Sony goes down, could you seriously live with all those lost jobs on your head? My friend always said people in stone glasses can't through houses. He was right in many ways even though he was wrong in the head; I knew what he meant. You could learn a thing or two about optimism from him.
