"Are you
just gonna chuck out your xbox?" Well its huge! Id quite like to take an axe to it. My one is on its last legs making dodgy noises whilst playing games and sometimes failing to load. I wouldn't be surprised if it packed up between now and next feb. This for a £300 console.....yes I brought it on launch :( |

Alex Ward is a very interesting guy.
I attribute all of Burnout's "High Concept" and delivery on that very largely to him and if he's got a bee in his bonnet about turning action movie scenes into a real gaming experience, then I fully expect him to be able to inspire/cajole a team to be able to deliver that too. He also has a photographic memory and can quote you Zapp 64 page numbers when you're discussing old game reviews. Well - I was impressed :-) |

Thanks. Because if there's none I am so gonna buy it.
Ahh, who am I kidding, I'll buy it anyways. Even if it is only so I can come in here to complain about the tearing. I guess at least if there's no tearing in it, I may have scored for an enjoyable game. So that's either no tearing good game, or tearing and complain. A win/win scenario, then. |

"If any developer ever moans about the PS2 ever again, just point them in the direction of Black. This is what can be achieved with raw talent."
But where should we point them if they're moaning about their lack of talent? :) Early 2006 is going to be a good time for PS2 gamers with Black, Okami and FF 12 all coming out. |

I think it's really clever that some of the PS2 screenshots that have been released onto the web (not these ones though) are at a higher resolution than the PS2 can actually generate. Take a look at the CVG website which shows these screens at full-screen...
Very clever EA! Not suggesting for one second that they're fudged screenshots of course.... |

Yes, Premature flesh is the area which became wet hotly. |

Quote tiddles:
"green_nifta - devkits have the option to output screenshots in high resolution (for magazine scans and the like)... just because the shots are in a high resolution format, it doesn't mean that it's not in-game footage (although the game itself obviously never runs that high)." Yes, but basically, it *isn't* in-game footage since a retail PS2 unit can't output these images. You won't see these images on your TV when you're playing a game since TVs runs at 640x480 (NTSC) / 640x512 (PAL). Showing a "screenshot" at 1024x768 is plain wrong. I'm sure a PS2 could probably do 4xAnti-Aliasing or AIF too (as there seems to be in these "screenshots"), but it'd run at 1 frame a second. You could generate screenshots from that too, but that doesn't make it in-game footage. |

>"This and Shadow of Collusus (and GoW)."
You do know that GoW (as in gears of war) is next gen, right? |

Anyone doubting how good Black will look only needs to fire up a copy of Burnout 2 or 3 to know what Criterion is capable of. Extend that level of graphical fidelity to an FPS and that's basically what you're getting. I had trouble believing it was running on a PS2, but it was. The sooner a video comes out to prove the doubters wrong the better, but if I was working at Criterion, I probably wouldn't want all my competitors to see it either.
