I think everyone's forgotten about multi-disc games.

I've been hearing that it's actually been selling pretty well in Japan. It reviewed well in Famitsu (yes, I know the story) for what that's worth. For an American shooter-type game, anyway. I am betting that is because only one store in Japan is willing to actually carry dirty gaijin software.

Anyone out there can somehow verify this?

Anyway, it's nice to hear something good about western software on that side of the world for once.

I think the Blu-Ray drive speed thing is blown out of proportion. The fact that loading times haven't been bad at all on any games so far: RR7 and RR6 have no discernible difference in loading times and Resistance is supposed to stream loading similar to Gears of War but I haven't played it.

Coupled with the fact that every PS3 is equipped with a HDD so caching is more readily available unlike the Xbox 360 which is crippled in that sense even compared to the original Xbox. Stupid core pack.

I would fucking love it if MGS4 came to the 360 though as I'll probably have to buy a PS3 to fuckin play it when it comes out.

Seeing shit like this pisses me off though. I really wish Sony would pull their head out of their ass. Look at the PSP and how that pricing strategy has worked! You fuckers!

FUCK SONY GODDAMNIT! FREE MGS4!!!!!!!

Fuck Kojima up his Sony-branded ass. MGS was on 2 cds because of the 15 hours of recorded dialogue. MGS 2 and 3 were on one DVD, and had twice as much talking. What happened to the Kojima that barely used voice/sound on Policenauts and Snatcher? The Kojima that focused more on the plot, delivery and overall presentation? To limit a game's release (or re-release) because of media size? Is this the same Konami that slapped MGS on a GBC cart and the UMD?

Fuck.

What point are you trying to make, exactly? I'm confused.

Its universally known the 360 has a better processor and more RAM.

if anything it'd be better.

and I don't give a damn what you say about that "environ-camo" crap.

sounds like more $ell Processor/Emotion Engine/Cyber-shot/Type-R jay-pan BS to me.

the controls were a little weird, especially if you palyed any MGS before that, and even on their own.

Yeah, basically, MGS2 Xbox looked much sharper overall, but outside on the tanker the framerate suffered. The controls were a little weird, too, but not unplayably so or anything. It's nowhere near a bad a port as the hype would have you believe; while it's a bummer that the framerate seemingly pointlessly suffers in a few spots, it's otherwise just fine.

Actually, the major problem is that the game attempts to run at 60FPS, when the PS2 version runs at 30. This leads to the controls being jerky as all hell, as the game isn't meant to run that fast.

If you clear away the fanboy-isms on both sides, the PS3 drive is just a little slower than the 360 one. This is pretty much a non-factor in most games, including those that stream. The reason it's an issue at all in Oblivion is the odd way it loads the game data in chunks instead of streaming the way GTA always did. So it has a unusual need for a high number of duplicate data. If it had been made for the PS3 in mind, this wouldn't have been an issue.

If MGS4 would work on the 360 I think depends a lot on what Kojima plans to do with all of that space. MGS2X was a lazy port, so I think we can set that aside. I mean, Konami can't possibly be that lazy anymore, can they?

1. Ridge Racer 7 loads noticeably faster than RR6 if you use the "install to HDD" option to put frequently accessed data on the HDD. They really are essentially the same game, so I'd expect load times to be pretty similar. This is certainly a PS3 advantage, and another reason to feel irritated that MS even made the Core pack. (Oh, RR7 feels like it loads just a bit slower than RR6 with no HDD installation).


2. Perhaps MGS4 will come to another platform that isn't 360 (or obviously Wii)... Microsoft has been really hyping up Windows Vista as a gaming platform. It seems like a matter of time before the 360 gaming business and Vista gaming have more convergence. I'm not convinced of a PC version or anything, but just saying it's not an insane possibility.
