Thanks for the input. Maybe I'll download Chaos Theory from PSN some time.

Without the multiplayer it's really only half the game though.

Thanks for the input. Maybe I'll download Chaos Theory from PSN some time.

Keep in mind, that if you don't like stealth games in the first place, Chaos Theory probably isn't going to change your mind.

I'm not sure how great it plays now though. I'm not really one to say that good games can age or become unplayable, but certainly some of Chaos Theory's appeal comes from how good everything looks and sounds, which likely won't impress nearly as much as 2005.

But stuff like the excellent set-pieces, abudance of tense moments, branching paths and moody environments should all remain intact.

Edit: ^ That's true. My recommendation comes as someone who never really played the multiplayer though, so take that as you will. The campaign is also pretty beefy.

Jeeze guys two multiplatform quicklooks in a row on Ps3 why do they hate the 360 so much waaaaaahhhhhhh.

Spoiler

Quick Look: Splinter Cell Classic Trilogy HD (39:14 min.) (Ryan / Vinny)

Ryan must be at the controls since Ubisoft took Jeff's advice and removed the invert Y-axis option.

After watching this I feel bad for whoever buys this.

 

[Grisby]

I might pick up th collection for super cheap. I never played through all of Pandora.

Oh those are terrible ports, but Ryan also fucking sucks at Splinter Cell.

invert Y axis removed? Easy no buy for me.

 

[Nekrono]

Yeah I'm not judging the games at all, just the quality of the ports and the lack of effort they put in them, not worth it imo.

 

[Doomshine]

Is Chaos Theory really that busted on PS3? It's the one I'm most interested in.

 

[Xater]

Well it's par for the course when it comes to Ubisoft. Their Prince of Persia ports also suck.

same here. i'm one of those weirdos that inverts. same reason i did not buy beyond good and evil hd. i really wanted to but no invert means no sale.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Thank god I'm not the only one. I grew up playing flight simulators and I just can't freaking deal with not being able to invert camera Y axis.

I'm playing Ico/SotC collection, and the old 2001 camera style on Ico is driving me nuts. SotC has the option, I'd freaking pay for a DLC that added it to Ico, no joke.

That's just stupid. Inverted 4 life yo.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Chaos Theory looks like the most competent of the lot. Too bad it's packaged with the other 2. Maybe I'll pick it up by itself when it goes on sale.

why on earth would they do that? what bit of code is so complex or so broken that they would need to remove this entirely?

Oh Ubisoft...

Fuck that, they just lost any purchase that I might have made in the future for this game.

The fuck?

There goes any chance of me buying this collection ever.

BG&E totally had inverted controls, it just also inverted the X-axis as well. Weirdly enough that only took 10-15 minutes to get used to.

 

[NEOPARADIGM]

no invert means no sale.

[garath]

I was able to overcome the inverted x axis.. except for the fact that the camera view was NOT inverted x-axis. My poor brain just couldn't compensate and I had to stop playing.

 

[Vampire On Titus]

Oh those are terrible ports, but Ryan also fucking sucks at Splinter Cell.

I actually think he did alright, considering he frequently admitted that he's not very good at Stealth games. It was also nice that him messing up a couple times wasn't immediately chalked up to a flaw on the games part. One of the better OL's of older games I've seen, despite the actual flaws with getting the game to start.

 

[Zombie James]

Look for a Rage Quick Look at midnight, review tomorrow after we get a chance to try the PC version.

RAGE.

 

[JackEtc]

Have you guys checked out this guy (xpatherx) who does the best of quick looks? He captures the funniest parts of each quick look, and does it really well. I've gone through and watched each one tons of times.

Part 16 was uploaded a few weeks ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJUr9Nr3zLI

Quick Look: RAGE (57:05 min) (Brad, Vinny, & Patrick)

 

[Yoshichan]

Just what I needed to relax myself from that other games' hype.

Do they say what system this is for? I see XBOX controls but not sure if PC version uses them if a controller is plugged in.

 

[djm]

It's 360. PC version wasn't released early to anyone, including press.

 

[Majine]

Looks like a more beautiful Borderlands.

I wish I hadn't seen that Gears 3 spoiler in the related videos, sigh...

 

[jediyoshi]

Yeah they're real classy about spoilers on the YT page. For a while they had the ending scene to Driver autoplaying if you went to the main channel.

 

[shadyspace]

I wish I hadn't seen that Gears 3 spoiler in the related videos, sigh...

lol, I couldn't care less about Gears and that pissed me off.

 

[Aquavelvaman]

RAGE does look damn pretty...

 

[~Kinggi~]

It's 360. PC version wasn't released early to anyone, including press.

Heh, this might have been a mistake critically.

 

[Majine]

El oh el, Disc swapping.

 

[~Kinggi~]

El oh el, Disc swapping.

What is this in regards to? Did they have to swap discs to load a new area? I thought this should only happen once.

 

[Majine]

I haven't watched the whole video yet, but they cut the video once to switch discs, and after complained about some difficulties they had when switching.

 

[bathala]

Heh, this might have been a mistake critically.

for a good reason check the impressions in the Rage thread. lol

master race having problems

 

[IamMattFox]

Brad: You'll be able to tell I've done a lot of this, 'cause...

*stabs his hand*

Vinny: OHHHHHHHhhhh!

Brad: Or not.

 

[StuBurns]

Rage looks pretty lame. I was looking forward to it.

 

[Hellsing321]

Yeah the quick look didn't really sell me on Rage. It looks like they had a lot of ambition but then didn't have the time or the money to bring out most of that ambition.

 

[cackhyena]

Rage looks pretty lame. I was looking forward to it.

Game hasn't looked appealing since day one. That's great they have a pretty game and all. Too bad at the end of the day it's just a shooter that does nothing to stand out.

 

[StuBurns]

Well I'm not saying I had found it appealing till now, I'd just hoped I would find it appealing by the time it came out. I thought they were being bold by trying a new IP, and making something a little more colourful. I was planning to buy it on Steam, but now it's looking like I'll hold out for a significant sale, or rent it on console maybe.

 

[cackhyena]

Yeah, sale seems to be the right call for this one.

 

[Ken]

Yeah the quick look didn't really sell me on Rage. It looks like they had a lot of ambition but then didn't have the time or the money to bring out most of that ambition.

Quick look sold me on Rage, but I'm easily entertained by trivial side quests and such.

 

[hamchan]

Yeah the quick look didn't really sell me on Rage. It looks like they had a lot of ambition but then didn't have the time or the money to bring out most of that ambition.

Hasn't the game been in development for a while? They have the big money of Zenimax behind them too.

 

[Aaron]

Looks like a more beautiful Borderlands.

Except the co-op, what I was planning on buying it for, is just a handful of limited missions. Lame.

 

[RomanticHeroX]

id making a pretty but dull shooter, who would've imagined. Crazy how uninspired Rage looks given the saga of its development.

 

[Conceited]

I thought Rage was supposed to be insanely epic or something, oh well.
