It's a me! Mario!!!!!

epic...

game is pretty cool so far, and for those of you who are confused, you'll get it eventually...

Only beef with the game so far are the graphics, definitely could be A LOT better.

I think they are excellent, they are sub-par for you compared to?

The character models in the cut scenes are a bit iffy but the environments are ace.

Saying that the 360 is now 5 years old and beginning to show it's age. Compare MW2 with the PC for example. The difference even on a 720p resolution is astounding.

MW2 isn't a great example, it's an engine focussed on multiplatform scalability and due to it trying it's best to run at 60FPS across both platforms it's not the greatest looker.

The PC will always be better looking than consoles if you have the hardware, but on consoles exclusive games will always show off real hardware scalability.

In saying that though I definitely think the Sony 1st party devs are doing a better job at showing off the PS3 than MS' devs. On that note though MS don't have the depth of 1st party Sony do and often rely on 3rd party devs to create exclusive 360 software.

My copy shipped today from Gamefly so hopefully I have it in a day or two.

Anyone have any number for how long the SP Campaign is in hours? I am obviously renting it since it is GameFly and just wondering if it is feasible or not for me to even beat it.

TIA, DL

Clocked 13,5 hours here before the credits and mainly only did the storyline and only 2 or 3 of the extra challenges. It's a pretty big singleplayer 'campaign', something you don't see too often these days. :)

Ubisoft are saying about 27 hours. That's not including the side quests and the secret Prince of Persia-esque aeras.

27 hours sounds a little high though. 15-20 hours first play-through and I'll be happy.

It lasted me way over 10 hours. 20 sounds about right.

Here's some screenshot comparisons for those who are undecided which platform do get the game on, PS3 or 360 I know I'm torn. I'd say the differences aren't as noticeable as they were with Dragon Age Origins. Maybe it's just me but the 360 version looks a little bit better.

Oh and no, this is not a post to get the fanboys bitching.

After watching the GT review I'm still not sure, just seems like AC 1.5.

I hope I'm wrong.

yeah, you're wrong, just don't cancel the **** pre-order and play the damn game!! :rofl: :rofl:

Now seriously, you won't regret it ;)

    • I never knew Windows had a "hidden" collection of tools

      By jordanspringer · Posted

      I cannot believe this is a news post from Neowin. This should be embarassing, coming from a "senior editor". Is it your first day using Windows?! Maybe it's time to find a new Windows news site.
    • Module Blocked - Is this Okay?

      By SuperDuckGuy · Posted

      It's from having Core Isolation enabled in Windows security settings, which is a good thing!  It's letting you know it's not loading the Bonjour module as it's not signed in a way it would prefer. Bonjour was most likely installed along with iTunes. Feel free to disable that message using the checkbox.
    • Rockstar confirms Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders begin next week, unveils cover art

      By TCA · Posted

      I'm looking forward to starting over online. I have no reason to keep all the money, cars, rank after 13 years. Now if I can just move my character itself and nothing else. I would be fine with that. But I doubt they would do a setup that way.
