More screens of the beta

Graphically looks niiiiice :D

[ShadowMoses]

It does Audio, and the great thing is, it looks like all the way through. No screen tear, no slow down.

Jealous I can't play, but I shouldn't groan much.

In the LBP beta, plus the KZ2 beta has still to go public! So has R2 :)

Seems like you need to be a Beta tester to have any fun with the PS3 these days :/

All the games being tested are out shortly.

Plus is it not better for the testing to exist than it to not?

It's a pretty wise marketing campaign if anything, Sony are practically offering all their big boats early for testing/feedback.

LBP, even with the beta only being out in Europe, is stealing a lot of headlines this week.

It's gutting if you don't get in, but even if you don't you get a hell of a lot of media (pictures/videos) and lot's of unbiased "previews" from everyday gamers rather than just journalist previews up until release/reviews.

Not at all. I have LPB, KZ2 sat on my HDD and I'm playing WipeOut and Burnout Paradise later. The PS3 has plenty to offer everyone. What I can say is that the future is very, very bright for the PS3 judging from these demos/betas

"Not at all" Want me to replay old snoozer titles or play games I don't care about?

And what are you on about AB? You always seem to pull stuff out your ass people never even mentioned.

Woah mate, no need for the hostility please! :/

I thought you were moaning about the number of betas, so I explained my pitch on them all, but essentially it seems you were just unhappy about the PS3 itself.

My bad.

Then you own the wrong console.

Well, I wasn't moaning about the number of betas - Perhaps read what people are saying instead of going on your sales-speech rampages.

Then you own the wrong console.

Yeah, guess I fun AAA titles is not the PS3's strong point.

[ShadowMoses]

I disagree with what I think you are saying. Let's leave it there shall we?

[Sethos]

Let's leave it there shall we?

Yup.

I said my bad, im sorry, no need to hang me out to dry...

[madd-hatter]

Why?

There is still a ton of screenshots/videos and other useful info before!

Link this thread then.

What do you mean?

Here's some more on the beta

Just played this beauty for 2.5 hours and I need to go to bed. It's 3:17 in the morning here. However, just wanted to tell you guys (as much as I am allowed to) that this game does not only look good - it's a hell of game! I noticed I kept cranking up the volume because the visuals are so often movie like. Sometimes, when passing through and maybe even sprinting, I instinctively stopped, backed a few steps and took a couple of seconds just to feed my eyes. Regarding gameplay: I had such a blast and so many great gaming moments during this last play. Personally, I knew I was going to buy the game since I llove single player story driven games and because I want to get the next chapter of this gritty sci-fi universe, but even if this only came out multiplayer online only - I would buy it.

Edit: Removed my last paragraph, just to be safe and show GG the respect they deserve. And they'll get my money too, that's for sure!

You Europeans have been getting a lot of good betas lately. I guess it is ok though. Most of the time you guys get the shaft on everything else.

New 4 min clip of the beta - http://www.vimeo.com/1822047

Good quality, but lacking in action. More so just a show off of one of the maps.

Graphics/animations look slick though :yes:

The weather/lighting and particles flying around are pretty amazing for the online side of things.

[ShadowMoses]

It is superb. I have one or two issues with it, that I can't discuss obviously, but all in all this will be a must have title

Are they going to be updating the closed beta to fix things/add things like Socom?

Or is what you have what you're getting till the public/next updated beta rolls round?

[ShadowMoses]

They are updating it as it goes from all accounts, which is superb.

Good news, KZ2 still has quite a few months left to go, so I suspect they'll be able to shape/fix things pretty decently from this/future beta's to keep the gamers happy.

Can't wait for the public beta!

[ShadowMoses]

The issues that I (and many others) have, can be easily fixed so we are just waiting on the dev team commenting on it.

Shadow, am I right in saying that you have said that you and Popisdead aren't the same person? If so it's slightly off that you are ALSO a Beta Tester as well??

Back on topic:

Only managed to play this for a couple hours on Friday as I was away in London this weekend and I have to say it is alot of fun and looks stunning. Glad to hear that they will be updating the Beta too, Im hoping for a long length Beta as the game is still 5 months off Release.

For how much is in the beta (3 maps, 5 modes of play & i believe all the classes) it is pretty good for a 459mb file.

I am a beta tester, and have been for many years (since PS2 days), why is it so hard to believe that a Sony beta tester would sign up to a games forum? Beta testers for Sony are not thin on the ground.
