There is a point system coming to PS3 games besides Home Trophies and Home clothing/furniture. Phil said it was a point system but that it was different. Forum speculation is that it might actually be consumable Home 'credit'.

Ah cool. I missed that. But then again, Sony/Phil say lots of things...

 

[DKo5]

I just hope the only differences graphics-wise are the "on-screen buttons" (ie it says "press O to throw grenade" on screen vs "press B to throw grenade").

*bink*

The fact that people had to have solid proof from us that the C4 video was from a PS3 should prove this.

And to whomever mentioned dedicated servers - where did you hear this?

 

[No_Style]

Well, sure it's free, but how many players will be there online compared to the 360 scenario? All of my gaming friends have both systems, and they end up buying 360 versions of all the multiplatform games because a) the do look/play better or b), if differences are "minimal", there is still that little thing called GamerScore they want to feed (this is a huge hook for them, clearly the best feature Microsoft could have come up with this gen. But this is beyond the point). So unless PS3 versions of multiplaforms, online-centric games are at least IDENTICAL to the 360 ones, they will keep buying the latters. Which "forces" me to do that as well in order to play with them online.

I'm sure this game will be continuously played on the PSN. I highly doubt it will end up like Calling All Cars on the PSN.

I still love you CaC

If I wanted the most bad ass competition, then yes, I will get it on the Xbox 360. Unfortunately, (or fortunately depending on your view), I don't see COD4 for being the game I want to be very competitive in. UT3 is for that.

I just want to go online and play a few rounds and if I get tired of being RPG-ed or C4-ed to death.

You know that's gonna happen folks! It happens in BF2 and it can certainly happen in COD4!

This is precisely what needs to happen. What's the point of accumulating points if you can't spend them? Trophies will reflect your achievements, but spending points to buy PSN content could be an attractive incentive for a lot of people.

I'm sure there will be enough people to play COD 4 online on the PS3. I'm not questioning that. I'm just talking about the "playing with FRIENDS" idea. My friends = 360. Me = 360.

The problem with CAC is that you dont leave a damn trace on the PSN. You play, you win, you are nothing again. Not even a leaderboard is there to tickle your ego. This was a HUGE oversight on Jaffe's part. I stopped playing because it felt like there was no point in doing so. Seems silly since one should play games because they are fun (and CAC! is definetly fun), but this doesnt work online for whatever reason. Probably it misses the sense of progression that keeps you going in solo experiences.

Unfortunately for me, my friends who own Xbox 360s are either WoW addicts or too in love with NHL to seriously play online let alone COD4. I agree, though..

Best part about this game though, COD4 is going to have Halo style matchmaking for online play. That is going to make this game a friggin blast to play, along with the experience system and perk/custom class management things you can do to customize your guy. It'll be like R6:Vegas without the crappy pacing and spawn camping!

Don't jinx it!

I'm thinking the Home Credit (if that is what it turns out to be) is exclusively for stores inside the Home world that trade items for whatever credit (these items can be bought with Home Credit or if you are empty then with real money). I'm also thinking that this credit will eventually be what consumers trade between each other for whatever future toolset they bring into Home for user created content. [/speculation]

COD2 never had a single spawn camping problem, COD4 wont either. I can guarantee you that good sir.

I love your speculations.

Yeah, it's in that E3 Sizzle video in the PS Store. I'm not sure if it's compression or a genuine downgrade, but there were a bunch of jaggies on things like light poles and fences in the distance that weren't in the video of the same area on 360 hardware.

The jaggies in the PS3 version were evident at E3, too.

 

[Da1nonly J]

Insomniac isn't first party.

ok you got me, I guess I should have said published by Sony. Of course Insomniac is about as close to 1st party as an independent can be.

 

[Thunderbear]

Good news. Varying quality across platforms isn't good for anyone.

[Liabe Brave]

Because there are much more exclusive PS3 games that interests me than on 360.

Fair enough. I might've waited until those exclusives were out to buy, though. Me personally, I love movies more than I love games and it seemed Blu-ray would be a very viable HD solution, so that was my tipping point.

They were worse at E3. Things are improving as evident by the C4 video.

Good, because they shouldn't be there in the first place.
