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.

4 years.

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.

hmm yeah, some textures are low res too, but nothing near like DA, that game is hideous on consoles and not to good on PC.

whoaaaa another great moment!! boom headshot!!! :woot:

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

that's what I like to see! 20 hours is quite awesome!

Rappeh your Avatar and Sig are soo distracting me from looking at what you wrote ;). but yeah 20hrs is a hell of a long time! But I can't wait to get it tommorow!

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 ;)

You bought Assassins Creed but only rented Uncharted 2. :no:

I got AC2 for ?28.

Show me where UC2 is going for ?2:p:p

Plus I have some moniez now, I was more broke than a hooker on a bad night when UC2 hit.

This is sooo freaking fun.. I still haven't found the tailer yet.. anyone know what icon it is?

nvm I found it.. I also found something annoying.. what's the point of having checkpoints in the mini assasin tomb catacomes when you can't use the checkpoint?

    • Surprise! We still can't get it right. With the current state of AI, the crappy software, the huge mega-corporations that back all of these idiot things, I think we are a very long way away from SAE Level 5. I, for one, will never get in one.
    • Nice. September/October GA?! I'll keep following it, but won't install any preview or beta versions.
    • Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
