Resistance 2: Makes Halo 3 look like a Wii game (as well as play like one)
Instead of spending the development budget on bribing respected videogame “media” outlets like Microsoft did with Halo 3, Sony is devoting those resourced to delivering a genuine, awe-inspiring, next generation experience. Insomniac recently showcased the first real-time teaser trailer for Resistance 2 that boasts of gorgeous visuals that are simply impossible on the vastly inferior Xbox 360 hardware.
Not only is Insomniac delivering a truly next-generation blockbuster hit this fall on the PS3 in only one year of development (something that Bungie couldn’t manage to do with 3 years), but they’re also going to produce two separate campaigns, 8 player co-op, and 60 players in competitive mode. Bungie only managed to get Halo 3 to run at a maximum of 4 v 4 due to the limitations of the inferior Xbox Lag “pay for p2p” service.
Apparently, Bungie was more concerned with ending their ties with Microsoft than delivering another run of the mill Halo on the faulty Xbox 360 capable of equaling the original title on the Xbox. An inside source has informed SDF that if Resistance 2 were to run on Microsoft’s console, it would require two Xbox 360s linked together but due to the insurmountable amount of heat the combined systems would generate the “RROD” within seconds. Resistance 2 is veritable proof of the Playstation 3′s massive superiority.
For comparison purposes, here’s a representative screenshot of Halo 3:
Wow, the POS3 plays GAMES?
….When did this happen?
And the .GIF is a CGI dumbasses.
doesn’t surprise me.
halo 3 is an average shooter and resistance 2 is an average shooter with 60-player online…
I don’t expect too many posts on this article. Even Jebus will be humbled.
That’s a CGI teaser, not in-game. a Gameplay trailers going to come along in the near furture.
Yes, I believe Resistance 2 will look better then Halo 3, but will it top Gears of War 2? only time will tell, but I think it’ll be a close run thing.
But… Mass Effect looks nicer than that. :/
The Halo screenie looks more impressive than I remembered it,if you look closely you can see two different shades of brown on the rock-face. Maybe it received an awesome update after I’d traded it in.
@venemesis:
NOW WITH TEXTURE POPPING!
60 player online is cool and all but it could possibly be a mess as well. Sometimes less is more in multiplayer. Otherwise (even if it is CGI) the game still looks like a good time.
Thats a CGI Trailer *laughs*
And who said the visuals are impossible on 360? exactly, no one. Have you seen the gears 2 shots? lolol.
@CP0
You do have a good point as noone has stated that the game isn’t be able to run on the 360.
@venemesis
i kinda agree mass effect looks pretty damn good but it lacks in various graphical departments. as far as character models go mass effect has the best character models in a video game ever! but the enviroments are barren, dull, and lifeless. the draw distance is short, and it has various preformance issues mostly due to the fact that micosoft won’t allow developers to cache data on the harddrive.
lol. that was comedy gold! this is the game i am waiting the most on the ps3. i have complete faith that insomniac will deliver gorgeous visuals and hours of great gameplay. the real big question is will this game top COD4?
Thats CGI not ingame footage. As Killzone 2 showed, ingame footage and CGI are 2 different things. But you’d never read that here.
You compare it to the pretty shitty Halo 3, but what your failing to mention is that Halo 3 sold millions, Resistance 2 wont. And as sales are the all important thing for developers, that equals Halo 3 pwns Resistance.
Actually that probably is in game, but a cutscene none the less, not to mention like all teasers things like better AA, the super fluid and fast animations in water, flag etc
Plus, it’s real fair to compare a late 08 games cutscene to a late 2007 in game screenshot.
@ ColdYellow
Even konami said MGS4′s look it’s self is possible on 360.
@animekid3515
What is this texture popping? I haven’t seen it yet, but I only got the game today and completed the first stage, so I’ll let you know if I do see it.
@spooky
Shhhh! I haven’t got to see everything yet! I just got the game this morning. I agree with you that the character modelling is lovely. A bit overdone with the freckled and shiny complexions on the females but, still the best I’ve seen so far… better than the human character models in Halo 3 at least. I’m really liking it, it reminds me a lot of KOTOR and that makes me happy. I really like the interaction too, as it reminds me of Blade Runner for the PC where you had like 13 endings and you could choose whichever dialogue suited you. I don’t like the line of fire visuals though, you get the target in the way even though the enemies are like just a speck away in the distance on the screen. I like how it reminds me of GRAW though as well, I love me some GRAW.
@CP0
Speaking of which, from what I’ve seen from the trailers so far. The CGI in MGS4 looks no different than what I saw in MGS3 on the PS2, I was dissapointed to say in the least. And that’s not even a diss on the PS3 in anyway, I’m blaming it entirely on Konami’s laziness on making a next gen game look so last gen. :/
@sladley
too bad only fanboys care about sales. resistance 2 will surely be a better game than halo 3. halo 3 is an outdated game. when i see halo 3 its like been there done that.
So a CGI of a massive airport of some variety compared with an in game shot of a single character? SDF’s BIAS (that they claim they don’t have) shows yet again.
And makes Halo 3 play like a wii game? So you mean extremely fun and of which that the PS3 cannot come close to? Well, I didn’t expect the sony fanboy force to compliment the Wii such as that.
@spooky205
The one thing that Halo does have over Resistance though is the massive community behind it. I’m sure Resistance does have a good sized community behind it but will everyone who played the first one go over to the second one. Hell Halo 2 was still played quite regulary online even after Gears came out (basically upto Halo 3) and I think that says alot for a game and its developers.
I myself perfer COD4 and R6 Vegas though when it comes to FPS multiplayer but hopefully that will change when the BEST MP game comes to 360: Civilization Revoulution
LOL! CGI shitfest, for the lose! Way to fail SDF.
Yeah I’m gonna reserve judgment until I can find out that that ISN’T CG.
If this site claims that sony ain’t going “Instead of spending the development budget on bribing respected videogame “media†outlets like Microsoft did with Halo 3, Sony is devoting those resourced to delivering a genuine, awe-inspiring, next generation experience” then thats just being completly ingnorrant. OF course Sony will have PR events and send out “swag bags” to media outlets just to get them pumped. Also development budget is completly seperate from marketing budget. Whatever money Insomniac has for development stays with development while the publisher (Sony) will spend the money to promote and advertise the game.
i would really like to play this game i thought the first 1 even though i never played it looked like alot of fun and i really do want to play the second 1 but i’ll be ok until ninja comes out and GOW 2

Interesting enough, Sony doesn’t seem to know a lot about that error, but they suggested rebooting and restoring factory defaults to fix affected Playstation 3 consoles. Unfortunately, that didn’t work.
Further analysis done by hardware enthusiasts traced the problem to (1) a faulty sector on the internal hard drive, or (2) a faulty installation of software/firmware.
There is no known fix for error 80010514 so if you get it, contact Sony to replace your console.
The words “KARMA” and “WHAT COMES AROUND, GOES AROUND”. Seems the PS3 isnt as reliable as you may think.
@sladey
At least with the 360 MS knows the console is fucked but that’s pretty bad when Sony does not know what’s causing the error.
Shit 1 1/2 years it took my 1st PS2 to take a shit on me and it’s been about the same amount of time for the PS3 (coincidence? maybe.)
@sladey
i believe that just wishful thinking on 360 fanboys part. every console has its defects but ps3 is still a better built machine vs. the 360. i think sony has learned their lesson with the ps2, as well as microsoft. but nice attempt at a flame war……..
Learned their lesson with the PS2? The PS2 was one of the best systems ever. Right up there with the SNES. But the PS3, eh. They took all the lessons learned with the PS3 and pitched them right out the window.
Instead they opted for the path of the Neo-Geo.
S.Lady
Do you think bringing up hardware reliability is a wise move? I will quote the great Jello “At least M$ know their console is fucked”
As the PS3s are starting to break and crap out, yes I think bringing up hardware reliability is a wise move indeed.
Also its adorable when PS3rd placers type Microsoft with the dollar symbol, seeing as they are backing up the most overpriced system on the market.
Protip: If you want to really stick it to someone who hates “Micro$oft”, ask them if they’re using Windows.
Rupaul here seems a little too uppity to be a Linux user so I’m going to guess he’s with the “hip” anal retentive Mac crowd.
I’m of the non-PC crowd,in both senses.
@Paul
What I was getting at is that when you get the RROD; MS does know what’s causing it to do that. When the the PS3 gets that error code Sony doesn’t know what’s causing that and thats almost (potentially more) worse than a 360 getting a RROD.
@erik
Just because there are reports of PS3s starting to crap out doesn’t mean there pieces of shit. The failure rate of PS3s (the last I remember) are less than 1% compared to 360s at about 16%. Sure these numbers can and will change but discussing about hardware reliablilty is pointless since the PS3 and Wii takes the cake on that one.

Yea, i think it is a wise move. Every fanbot on here flames the 360 for the RROD, which these days are very rare, but not to the PS3 fanbots.
Now the shoe is on the other foot. Microsoft and the rest of the world know what the problem was with the 360 and eventually fixed it. Sony on the other hand have no idea what the problem is, and without them knowing how to fix it, the problem will get worse and worse. So i find it quite ironic really.
Ans what lesson learnt with the PS2? The PSone and PS2 were both awesome consoles, and every man and his dog owned one. There was nothing wrong what so ever with the PS2. I still got mine and plays it now and then, not often but i still get use out of it.
Shame Sony went from making 2 of the best consoles ever (PSone and PS2) to the piece of shit that they have now. Another piece of irony for you there too.
The only people who learnt from thier mistakes is Microsoft, the awesome Xbox bombed cause the PS2 was too dominant, so Microsoft switched hands, the the Xbox is the last gen’s PS2, and the PS3 is the last gens Xbox. You POS3 Fanbots hate to admit that im right too. But i am and you know i am.
Nice 1 Jello,I don’t mind you moaning at me,cuz Keri got it worse.Bravo.
However “almost potentially more worse than RROD” sounds like you’re clutching at straws.
Hmmph. PS3′s hardware will never get the full potential graphic wise since developers have already stated it costs too much and takes too long to use its full power. However, if the developers had the money, time, and patient customers, they can produce something epic. Eventually there will be someone willing to go that far. Reminds me of the ole Gamecube, people never went graphic wise with it until Resident Evil 4 showing what the gamecube could actually do. Just hope developers remember not to sacrafice gameplay for graphics. Otherwise they’re better off making CG movies.
I guess we’ll see. Although it does raise the question of where the next generation of consoles’ll be, as graphics won’t get much better
@Paul
If your car breaks down and you don’t know why wouldn’t you want to know? Sonys car is the PS3 and the engine is breaking and they don’t know why; so wouldn’t you be kinda pissed about it (if it happens to you)?
I wanna see where people will go Gameplay wise. It’s a lot harder to think of a way to improve gameplay then it is to improve graphics. Example, Starcraft. I’m hoping it keeps the same balance of the races, strategical gameplay, and apparent skill levels. I wouldn’t really care if they didn’t change to graphics. (However I’d rather buy that version as an expansion and not full fledge game). Anyways, starcraft is a perfect game, can only hope its sequel will be to.
Please, friends, listen. I ask you why every word spoken here is spiteful. Celebrate both Halo 3 and Resistance 2. They are both worthy of your love and admiration. Play that which you favor, but cast no stones on others that do the same.
I wonder if $ony Fanbot Paul’s PSrd place will hold out long enough for the release of this so far tepid looking CGI yawnfest to be released? Or will it succumb to the Sony error code before then?
@Jello
Cars break,rocket ships break,and yes even the mighty Ps3 can break. But as you already pointed out,the real issue is the failure rate,less than 1% vs 33%.
@Keri
I’m with Jebus on this one,why the spiteful comments? You’ve been to the beach again haven’t you.
what your saying about the PS3′s errors is rediculous, its such a MINUTE amount, and ofc they are replacing, no quarrels but comparing it to the 360.. wtf. 360 has over 20% failure rate. PS3 to date is less than 0.5% SO basically, dont even try to use ‘but it might be worse’ whats the point? ITs an empty arguement.
Halo 3 will still be more popular, but im guessing graphically inferior (lol no HD). 8 co-op seems… sweeeet.
@Paul
Me spiteful comments? Pot/Kettle etc.
Also. I thought it was you who said people shouldn’t make fun of people’s nicks. So I guess it is okay to call you Flaw and a Sony Fanbot.
Fighting over consoles on the internet means you’re the coolest. B)
Seriously, people, grow some balls. Also, for the record, this site wins awards for being the most biased site I’ve ever been to. So props!
Paul, the failure rate hasn’t been 33% since last year, it’s been reduced to 16%
Git YUr F@cTs Straight!
wise words I can respect, Jesus.
@Keri
It’s good to see you’re paying attention,but you FAIL to realise that most of my comments are a windup,so you can call me what you like sweetie,I’m unoffendable.
@C3PO
LOL,you make this too easy.
Well its a good thing you are unoffendable seeing as you are trying(and failing) to protect the PS3rd place. But no one can fault you for failure, I doubt anyone could defend it. Whenever Sony execs themselves open their mouths they do nothing but harm their already harmed product.
it’s kind of hard to compare the quality of a game that came out half a year ago and a game that was only recently announced. Anyway, ya’ll have fun with Resistance 2 while I continue to have a blast with Halo 3, you know, different strokes for different folks and all that.
@erik
when i said that sony learned its lesson with the ps2 i meant it learnt its lesson on reliability issues. remember the laser drive incident? ps2s were dieing left and right. sony learnt its lesson there and so did microsoft with the rrod. i am sure microsoft will try to get the best quality out their systems next gen.
as far as sony goes, well MS had the chance to give them the final death blow but instead they got greedy. they should have handled their customers better. there are plenty of ps3 owners out their that bought their ps3 because their 360s crapped out on them. the way i see it, sony sacrificed its playstation brand to win the format war. now that the war is over sony will do everything in their power to turn the tide. ps3 is doing a great job on getting developers back to their favor and listening to their customers. by christmas of this year i can easily see how the competition will force all 3 to get even more innovative for the year 2009. definitely a great time to be a gamer.
It is not necessarily a great accomplishment to outdo Halo 3 in terms of enjoyment. I’m not saying that Halo 3 was bad, it was indeed a very good game, but it was also very underwhelming at the same time. Good game, but failed miserably to meet expectations. it didn’t even win the best Xbox 360 game award. Can insomniac make Resistance 2 better than Halo 3? Probably. Can they make it better than Gears of War 2? No clue; they’re difficult games to compare. I though it was stupid when the original gears and resistance were being compared, they’re different genres of games (although they featured similar themes). I can say one thing though; on IGN’s gamescoop podcast, one episode was devoted completely to “overrated games” and Gears of War got a good discussion; citing how it was the best game graphically for console, but behind the graphics there was actually not enough gameplay to justify the high scores.
So true. Didn’t we get systems to play games. There never will be one system, because its not good for a company to monopolize something. Competition is healthy anyway, helps sales.
Sony starting to listen to their customers is a case of too little too late. They lost many customers, such as myself, way back when the price of the system was leaked to magazines months before the system came out. Before that I was a pretty loyal Sony fan. I didn’t own or care to own a Gamecube or Xbox original. Now after Sony’s insult to us that is the PS3 I own both the Wii and 360
At this point there is nothing Sony can do to change my opinion on the PS3. I only hope they can tread water enough to recoup themselves when the PS4 comes out and not go the way of Sega.
@venemesis:
the texture popping is basically playing the game before a texture has loaded.
it’s very noticeable in this game as I noticed, one second I thought I was talking to what seemed to be a young boy but then it popped up with an old man skin.
the lower detailed colours on the polygons show up and then when the higher details are loaded, they pop up, unfortunately you’re already playing when it happens and it can’t hide it anywhere so you see it pop up.
perhaps I should wake up properly before I try to structure a sentence…
Well actually Paul the 360′s failure rate is 16%
http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/15814/Report-Confirms-Rumored-Xbox-360-Failure-Rate-16/
Rereading this story I saw two things which amused me. In particular about SDF “inside source” which is the voice inside the heads of the writers of SDF.
A: How would linking two systems together cause massive heat to red ring the system? Give proof of this ridiculous claim. If networking things together caused such heat, then the internet would have burned the planet to ash long ago.
B: The claim that the PS3 is twice as powerful as the 360 is a lie.
http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/617/617951p1.html
“When you break down the numbers, Xbox 360 has provably more performance than PS3.”
Uhm, that article’s almost three years old…and is a press release by Microsoft.
Unless either Sony or Microsoft has released a new system in the last 3 years I don’t think the specs have changed. And at least I provided some numbers for my claim, unlike SDF which just claims that the PS3 is equal two 360s networked together but give nothing to back it up. Claims of an inside source is not proof of anything.
SDF, where are the Wii bashing articles? I’m tired of “Halo 2.5″. If your saying its so shit, then why the hell is nearly every second article about it?
Accept facts, there were probably more copies of Halo 3 sold in its first two weeks then there are PS3s sold.
“makes halo 3 look like a wii game (and play like one too)”
that’s funny because wii ports of most games are a lot more fun to play.
way to fail hans.
erik, those specs you posted were released before the ps3 was; nobody actually knew how powerful the ps3 was outside of the developers. Those numbers, in truth, were little more than a guess. according to this site:
http://www.hardcoreware.net/playstation-3-vs-xbox-360-one-year-later/
acknowledges that the ps3 is, indeed, more powerful when it comes down to pure processing power.
most people do acknowledge that the ps3 is more powerful than the 360, they also acknowledge that its also a real pain in the ass to take advantage of that power. If you research the Xenon and Cell processors you will find that the Cell is more powerful. However, the GPUs for both systems are about tied.
@erik
This is an interesting read even though the article is 3 years old:
http://arstechnica.com/articles/paedia/cpu/xbox360-1.ars
Halo was never supposed to look real.
@OMGWTFBBQ
I think where the writers for this site get confused is between graphics and art style. Halo is a perfect example: Sure it doesn’t (graphically) look as good compared to RFOM or GoW but its far better than the other 2 halo games. To me a game like Jet Set Radio is more of a appealing game than say a Gears or War or a Final fantasy game because of the way its presented (but we know presentation doesn’t matter if the game is shit; Lair anyone?) and that being said it also can work against it as well.
“Halo was never supposed to look real.” No it wasn’t supposed to look “real” but would you ever imagine all the halo games look different from one another and would you still play them?
Apparently the Ps3 is not only twice as powerful as the 360.
Experts are now saying that it would take at least 34 360s working in tandem to match the mighty Ps3. Unfortunately this cannot be proven as it’s impossible to find 34 functioning 360s. Here’s the link 0 .
ps. OMGWTFBBQ is the greatest name I’ve ever heard of.
@Paul
“In a move that surprised all of us, Microsoft tapped IBM to design the microprocessor that powers the Xbox 360. IBM drew on the results of the same Broadband Processor Architecture (BPA) initiative that produced the Playstation 3′s Cell processor in order to furnish the next-generation Xbox with a truly next-generation core that looks set to last at least the five-year life of the average game console”
http://arstechnica.com/articles/paedia/cpu/xbox360-1.ars
Could it be that the Xenon is the predessor to the CEll (yes the same one in your PS3). So in theory that the 360 could be on the same level of hardware performance as in the PS3. If you read the article (and understand it) and stop making retarted shit up all the time maybe ppl would take you seriously.
This just in from a super secret reliable source: It takes 42 internet enabled short buses to make each one of Paul’s comments.
@Jello
I’ve successfully avoided education thus far and I don’t appreciate your attempt to stop this. However,I have eyes and ears so I can tell the Ps3 is quieter,more reliable,is more impressive graphically and has more usage,that’s all I need to know.
Doesnt matter if the Cell chip was the world biggest super computer, the fact that the PS3 has 256mb ram, seriously cripples it (yes it has another 256mb ram but thats used for the graphics card only and not for processing). Hence the reason Epic games stated Gears Of War wouldnt be possible on the PS3 in the form it was made, it would have to be stripped down. The 360 has a 512mb ram installed into it.
And hence the reason that next to no games made with Epic’s Unreal 3 engine are any good on the PS3. Yet work lovely on the 360 and PC.
@S.Lady
I’m starting to think you’re a tad biased in favour of the 360. This leads good people like myself to ignore your opinions. At least I will point out the pros of the Ps3,AND the cons of the 360. That’s why more people here respect my opinion than yours.
“At least I will point out the pros of the Ps3,AND the cons of the 360.”
Thats a tad biased in favor of the PS3.
@Paul
“I’ve successfully avoided education thus far and I don’t appreciate your attempt to stop this.” Hell everybody in here already knows that you don’t bring anything intelligent to say to any topic and it shows in your lack of education.
I respect your opinions BUT there pretty weak and don’t have any good reasons to back them up.
Also what Sladey has said about ”
Doesnt matter if the Cell chip was the world biggest super computer, the fact that the PS3 has 256mb ram, seriously cripples it” does have a legit point. You could buy the PC version of Crysis and have everything but the RAM it needs to run properly and it wouldn’t run at all or it would seriously be cripled.
So Sladey isn’t being biased to the 360 he’s stating a fact about the console but your such a asshole you think it’s opinion.
u know thats pretty much accurate. xenos seems it to be the predecessor to cell. they operate somewhat alike according the the article linked above. it would make sense since ibm made them both. even the wii could have pretty awesome graphics (not on par with ps3 or 360 but somewhat in the ballpark) if developers were willing to tap into that power. i mean the wii is supposed to be a gamecube on steroids and who wasnt’ blown away by resident evil 4? so my hats off to you, the winner of the console wars IBM.
@ Sladey: You obviously don’t work in game development.
“Doesnt matter if the Cell chip was the world biggest super computer, the fact that the PS3 has 256mb ram, seriously cripples it (yes it has another 256mb ram but thats used for the graphics card only and not for processing).

The PS3 has the same amount of RAM as the Xbox 3D0 – 512 MB.
256 is reserved by the graphics card for textures, etc..
The other 256 is used for anything (it’s main, general RAM). It can be used for textures, sound, whatever.
The biggest RAM eater for games IS textures, thus there is no advantage for the 360. If need be, the PS3 can use 512 MB for textures (obviously, this wouldn’t happen because other things need RAM)
RAM used for “processing” is very minimal. Gears of War needed all that RAM for normal maps…in other words, TEXTURES.
You’re a dunce.
Here’s some proof. Paul has no penis because Sony cut if off and shoved it so far down his ass he has to use cream to stop the pain. Sony got himself to fuck himself. Here’s the link : http://www.sonydefenseforce.com
@ Sladey
“And hence the reason that next to no games made with Epic’s Unreal 3 engine are any good on the PS3. Yet work lovely on the 360 and PC.”
um, how about UT3? The only game that I have that runs on that engine is Medal of Honor Airborne, and it runs perfectly fine. If anything, UT3 for ps3 will be superior to the 360 version since it supports custom map and mod support, as well as mouse and keyboard support.
S.Lady…You got pwnd
@Jello…You really should not respect my opinion,as I told Keri…most of my posts are intened as a wind up.
CustardCap…UP!…The penis was shoved UP my ass,to have shoved it down my ass they’d have needed to be in my tummy.
@Hans…Don’t pwn me too,I’m just here for a smug-induced laugh.

If all of this is a wind up then you really need to get to the pitch. We’re getting bored waiting. Come on you can be the Nolan Ryan of the short bus league!
Paul you can’t spell stupid fag without Paul.
@animekid3515
Thanks for describing it to me, I’m still not sure I’ve seen it yet but I’ll see if it happens next time I play.
does resistance 2 also have a cube of meat ???
if not, im not buying no spiderman3 console !
SDF please tell Sony to include a headset in their console bundles because playing Rainbow six vegas 2 and not being able to coordinate with team members is simply retarded, … , sorry I mean its so 1999 !
Xbox had voice support on most xbox live games… that was more than 5 years ago… just ripping off nintendo’s controls and xbox’s hard drive, packing it with a blu-ray drive and selling it for 600 $ doesnt make your console better than the other two !!
In fact last time I checked it made the stay in 3rd place…. good luck with your website !
That guy sure was bitter,a common trait of the xboxer. Why don’t more people just upgrade instead of being jealous?
@Hans
Actually Hans your the dunce. The GPU memory is dedicated memory and seperate from the system memory. So yes the PS3 does have 512mb RAM but the developers have to work with two seperate memory banks. For example if a dev only needs 112Mb of RAM for the GPU but needs 300 mb of system memory than the dev team can do that on the 360. Now with only 256 Ram that same team might have to either cut features, scale back, or even rebuild the game to even work on the PS3 (then they might just scrap it altogether). So that’s part of the reason why the PS3 version of a game might be not as good as the 360 version.
@erik
i am sure there are alot of customers that were alienated about how awful the ps3 was (it was terrible in its first 6 months if you got it at launch), but i could say the same for microsoft IE rrod. trust me, when my little cuz got his rrod it was truly an ass-backwards experience dealing with microsoft service. the 360 had the opportunity to trash the ps3 completely and it failed because instead of biting the bullet and redesigning their consoles, or giving customers a new 360, they gave out a shoddy refurb instead. there has been people with multiple rrods. if anything i learned its never buy a console at launch, always wait a year.
@spooky205
I have bought consoles at launch and always ended up buying new replacements (PS1, PS2, xbox, gameboy, nes and thats just to name a few). So i’m with you on waiting a year to buy a new console (plus usually the games are all “meh” for the 1st six months anyway)
@Spooky
See if the system is worth it I can force myself to overlook some reliability issues. Which is why I’ve owned like four or five PS2s. And what does it say about the PS3 that Sony has to fight tooth and nail to just become even in sales with a console that at one point had a failure rate of about 1/3?

Now with only 256 Ram that same team might have to either cut features, scale back, or even rebuild the game to even work on the PS3 (then they might just scrap it altogether). So that’s part of the reason why the PS3 version of a game might be not as good as the 360 version.”
The above scenario NEVER happens in game development.
Textures comprise of 60-80% of the allocated RAM resources, thus the 256 MB bank of RAM for the PS3 will ALWAYS be used to capacity, and then some of the other 256 MB of RAM will also be used for textures.
Gears of War required so much RAM because of NORMAL MAP TEXTURES, and I can guarantee that when Epic asked Microsoft to increase their amount from 256, it was to accomodate more texture RAM.
Thus, the decision by Sony to include a separate bank for RAM is a moot issue since non-graphical related processes don’t require much RAM at all.
I hope that helps.
Owned.
hans is telling the truth here, the reason PC’s need so much RAM is because of complicated OS’s using 512MB-1GB of RAM.
I do hear that developers can use one bank for the other purpose in their coding, though……
pain in the ass to do it of course.
@Praetorian_Man
Your part right in saying UT3 is superior to the upcoming 360 version, purely off the fact that you can make custom mods & maps etc..
When it actually comes down to the game itself, UT3 runs like shit on the PS3. The 360 version will run and look exactly the same as the PC version, as all Unreal Engine games do, yet if u look at the PS3 version of UT3, the game is slow, and blurry. Wonder why? If your not sure why, read my comment above.
Slady,
UT3 on the PS3 runs perfectly smooth with mod support as well as Keyboard and Mouse functionality.
The Xbox 360 is an inferior console hardware wise, so naturally the 360 version will run worse especially when talented coders like Epic are the ones that are responsible for tweaking their engine for the PS3. Most poor PS3 ports are the result of incompetent developers. Epic is not one of them.
The definitive version of UT3 is the PS3 version, and the 360 with inferior graphics, no mod support, and no keyboard and mouse functionality is terribly gimped in comparison.
It really must suck to be an Xbox fan that is restricted to playing only Xbox 360 games.
With the PS3′s laughable library I wouldn’t e talking about being restricted to a system’s games. And rather than spend all the money on that bloated system one could buy both a Wii and a 360 and have access to two libraries of games. Thats what I did.
@Hans,
Your sadly deluded, even Epic have stated themselves that the Unreal Engine and PS3 dont go hand in hand. Yea, UT3 runs at a smooth speed, cause it’s massively gimped to do so. Still looks like crap though, not bad considering the PS3 is meant to be the all powerful or so Sony try to make u think it is. Developers have made games for years and know exactly what they are doing, yet cause the PS3 can process games properly, it’s sudenly the developers fault? They can only make things with what they are given.
Last i checked the PS3 and 360 were both CONSOLES, not PC’s, whats wrong with the tried and tested joypad method? Works fine with any other FPS. If i wanted to use a mouse and keyboard i might as well just play it on the PC.
And nah, dont suck to be a xbox fan (although im not really a xbox fan, im a gamer), i chose to own a 360 over a PS3 cause i want to play games, not pretend i got a PC in a box. And FYI i own a PS1, PS2, PSP, Gamecube, Xbox, Xbox 360. So that hardly qualifies me to be a Xbox Fanboy. I just like to prove you POS3 Gayboy’s are complete retards who are deluded by a peice of plastic.
Consoles come and go yet you seem to think that Sony love you and you show blind loyality to someone who see’s you as the Devil. Sony dispise westerners and put a injunction out that if a JAp retailer sold a Sony product to a westerner they would be prosicuted. Yet you all wank over Sony like they are god. I pitty you fools.
S.Lady said…If the Japanese sell Sony products to Westerners they will be prosecuted. Can someone clarify?
@sladey:
you DO know that the 360 was designed to be EXACTLY like a PC don’t you?
and yeah, the joypad method works fine for FPS.
know what works BETTER? keyboard and mouse.
Unreal 3 engine games certainly don’t look better on ps3, but they don’t look worse either. MOH:A is indistinguishable between the 360 and ps3 versions (I haven’t seen the PC version). If it means anything, “all” 1st and 2nd party titles at least look and play very, very well. So the PS3 getting “bad” UT3 engine ports does not speak on the consoles power itself, it speaks on a badly split up budget, time constraints, and mixed up priorities. Look at COD4; both versions look identical (and yes, I did a side-by-side on a 720p television.) Both systems have shadow tearing and weird light flickering in Night Vision, but look awesome none-the-less.
@charleytony, way to not pay attention for the past year.
I’ll take the 16% failure of the 360 over the 1% of the POS3 (uses last gen graphics chip) because of the games library, which far exceeds anything the POS3 has. Also, as most $ony fantards do, they love CGI, since CGI doesn’t really use the hardware anyway.
You can have your movie player losers, I’ll take the better games console – Xbox 360.
Oh, and this is for the fantard leader, Paul: no console will ever have better performance or graphics than a PC. Even you can’t be stupid enough to think that.
Wait, this is Paul, he is that stupid!! See what alcohol and drugs do to people!?
You still seem upset at me binboy…I will be the bigger man and admit that you were wrong.
hans!
If you are going to spew bullshit, make sure it at least sounds right.
The UE3 engine doesn’t work as it should on PS3. Textures are missing so motion blur had to be added. Seeing as though the RSX chip only has 256mb FOR GRAPHICS AND TEXTURES ONLY, producing textures and advanced graphics is difficult on the the fly. Especially as the PS3 has a 2x BD-ROM drive in it. The 360 on the other hand, has 512mb RAM AND the GPU memory it can use as the architecture is completely different and allows for this to happen. It is mostly down to the poor speed of the BD-ROM drive though. It seems as though this is going to come back and haunt Sony though…
Oh and this “Real Time” trailer isn’t real time. Real time would use in game graphics. This is CGI. Anyone can see it! It reminds me of Killzone 2. I wonder if the screenshots are going to be touched up…

Sure I’ll call them if you’d like,but I’ll need your details first. I can’t just say…my good friend BinBoy needs help.
In the meantime,maybe some real-world achievements would add to your self esteem. Good luck mate.
@xbox360ftw
u do know that is just an estimate, right? i mean there are alot of gamers that don’t follow the industry as we do. they will see 2 consoles site side by side with gta4 on both platforms and will ultimately choose what suits them best. unless microsoft can advertise their exclusive downloadable content then i dont see a huge gap in sales of gta4 between 360 and ps3. some of those gamers might even be oblivious to the fact that 360 has gta4 or may have horrible memories about how broken the controls were for san andreas on the oringinal xbox. we hardcore gamers are a very small percentage of the market. there are alot of casuals out there that will pick up a ps3 or 360 for gta.
i personally will pick it up on the ps3 due to the fact that online is free, i am more comfortable with the controller, and i won’t have to worry about hardware. dlc means very little to some people as well. i mean by the time i get the dlc i will too busy playing MGS4…………
@Hans
You’re still a dunce. Here is a education in between system and video memory:
1- System Memory. This is cached, and reasonably fast to read from and write to with the CPU. However, it typically needs an additional copy before the graphics card can use it. System and scratch pool memory goes here.
2- Video Memory. This is RAM that’s local to the GPU. It typically has insanely high throughput. It is accessible over the bus for the CPU, but going over the bus is really slow; typically both for reading and for writing. Thus writing directly into this memory (or even worse, reading out of it), is not recommended. Default pool memory goes here.
But at the end of the day the PS3 does only have 256mb of system memory (which was something I couldn’t understand why Sony did that at all).
@xbox360FTW
You have to realize the limitations of a poll. This poll means that 58% of people who visit Joystiq AND bothered to vote in the poll voted for the X360 version.
The poll is inaccurate because it only reflects the opinion of an isolated demographic where response was non-compulsory and may not actually reflect consumer trends.
That’s why you never take an internet poll seriously (Hint hint SDF).
A fraction of an isolated demographic, at that^
“Resistance 2: Makes Halo 3 look like a Wii game (as well as play like one)”
Resistance 2 makes Halo 3 have motion controls?
Also:
“they’re also going to produce two separate campaigns”
is marketing-speak for “they’re also going to produce one really long campaign”.
That’s right binboy,a mere fraction. I wasn’t even asked to vote,and as you know my vote counts for 9% meaning we win 51 to 49. xbox360 FOR TEH BIN!!
@CaNcer
2 campaigns, 1 single player, 1 co-op.
@smOke
If Halo 3 did have motion control then I would probably play it more.
@Paul
“I wasn’t even asked to vote,and as you know my vote counts for 9% meaning we win 51 to 49″
Since I wasn’t asked to vote either, and as you know as well my vote counts for 50%. 360 wins 99 to 51.

Damn you and your superior mathematics.

I am a PC gamer so were the hell do i fit in all these flame wars?
@ptcfast
your suppose to be the elitest prick and tell us how pc gaming is miles ahead of anything on consoles and that we are retards if we think otherwise because of your we werent blessed with a 4000 dollar gaming rig. lol. just kidding. i think everyones visits this website for laughs. so feel free to either own someone or make a idiotically hilarious comment about how your plastic box is superior to someones elses.
wait… did anyone else realize they claimed halo 3 ran 4v4 when it actually runs 8v8?
@CP0
SDF tell so many lies it’s like walking into Pinocchio’s Paradise, so sometimes thier lies get over looked.
CP0:
8 v 8 is unplayable in Halo 3 due to the extreme amounts of lag, which is why I mentioned only 4 v 4. This is the maximum possible player count that Halo 3 is capable of rendering a bare bones playable experience (that you have to pay for).
Resistance 2 will manage flawless 60 player online with absolutely no lag for free.
@ ColdYellow – You’re retarded.
The PS3 has 256 MB of System Memory, but required Texture memory is > 256 MB for EVERY SINGLE GAME RELEASED. The system memory can be utilized for video (i.e. TEXTURE) RAM, thus there is no issue here. The video RAM is never needed to be accessed for CPU tasks.
I hope that helps. You don’t seem smart enough to be able to grasp this basic concept.
@Hans
And how do you know that this game will offer 60 player online with no lag. Have you played the game?
@Keri…because lag is last gen,something the Ps3 does not provide. Mine wont even play last gen games as they are an insult to it’s intelligence.
@Spooky…Best post ever “feel free to either own someone or make a idiotically hilarious comment about how your plastic box is superior to someone elses” Nailed it! Spooky FTW!!
ps. my plastic box > yours.
@Hans
Read again or your just too damn dumb to understand

My PC has a mouse and keyboard… Thats all i got.
I just think it’s funny that SDF thinks that CGI trailers are impressive. Oh and what’s that last pic supposed to be? Master Shredder?
@ Hans & Flaw
Bullshit, play Pro Evo on the PS3, full of lag. No game is lag free you retards, it’s all down to the other persons connection.
You can bet ur ass and balls that Resistance 2 wont have 60 players on it at once, thats just a gimmick to make it sound better, and you can bet ur ass and balls again that it wont be lag free either.
This site is such full of lies that even pinocchio is ashamed.
well actually hans the lag probably existed because you got host haha.
I can play 8v8 flawlessly, liar.
@Paul: “because lag is last gen,something the Ps3 does not provide. Mine wont even play last gen games as they are an insult to it’s intelligence.”
Lag depends on your internet connection and the server hosting the game, not the system. You can have the world’s fastest connection, but it won’t matter if you’re playing on EA’s servers.
PS2 games aren’t insulting to your PS3′s “intelligence”. You just have the crippled 40 GB model.
Dumbfuck.
@caNcer
If I wanted last gen games I’d have kept my Ps2 or 360. Try to keep the language clean otherwise you sound like just another bitter xboxer. Wise up and trade up,you’ll be glad you did.
Smoke just “owned” you Paul.
The only ones who are bitter are the PStools who forked over top dollar for their PS3s, and aren’t seeing the flood of top quality that was promised to them! Sony fans are today, where Nintendo fans were in the mid-late 90s!
S.Lady…You can bet your ass and vagina that you’ll be eating those words.Forgive my language (don’t mistake it for bitterness).
@sixaxis…The only thing caNcer owns is a sub-par vocabulary and a last-gen console. Ps3 fans are today where 360 fans would love to be…on top of Mt. Pwnage.
Mount Pwnage? So then the PS3 is beating the 360 AND the Wii? Oh…what’s that? The Nintendo camp is already there? Awe…you climbed all that way up for nothing.
And I have no idea who sixaxis is, or S.lady for that matter, or CaNcer for that matter.
open challenge to PS3 Fanboys:
See if you can beat the argument against PS3 on this video. And no saying you refuse to watch it ‘cos it’s a Halo 3 Machinima, because that is instant ‘ownage’ or what the hell the word is.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmvcP71A-Wk
argument starts around 2:43 mark
1st POST BITCHEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!
LOL nice 1 liar. But I gotta say that you just secretly know that the Ps3 is the better system…you’re just jealous. IT HAS BLU-RAY!
Is that the same bluray that can only read at 1 Speed? 2x speed.
And is that the same bluray that has started to breakdown and gives POS3 users the YLOD (yellow light of death).

Interesting enough, Sony doesn’t seem to know a lot about that error, but they suggested rebooting and restoring factory defaults to fix affected Playstation 3 consoles. Unfortunately, that didn’t work.
Further analysis done by hardware enthusiasts traced the problem to (1) a faulty sector on the internal hard drive, or (2) a faulty installation of software/firmware.
There is no known fix for error 80010514 so if you get it, contact Sony to replace your console.
LOL, at least Microsoft knew how to fix thier errors. Sony havent got a clue.

“@Keri…because lag is last gen,something the Ps3 does not provide. Mine wont even play last gen games as they are an insult to it’s intelligence.”
Ah, so what you are saying is that the 360, being a current gen system won’t suffer from lag either. Good to know. Maybe if I ever buy Halo 3 I’ll play some 8v8 then.

I think I just proved by Paul’s logic that the PS3 is a last gen system.
Ahh this site always gives me a good laugh.
Paul just fled into the night.
so im guessing u live in asia?
Man this site has got to be a big joke right? I mean every article is about the 360, even the reviews!
I can’t even believe that there are ps3 fanboys. First they make you pay 600 dollars for a system without any games, decent multiplayer, or even rumbling controllers, then they cut the price in half, making the hardcore fans who bought the ps3 the first day pay double for nothing.
Now they have rumble, but that’s another 50 dollars out of the fan boys pocket.
You should be pissed at sony for their flawed system, not at the 360 for having THE RED RING OF DEATH OMG! My first generation, used 360 get’s that once every few weeks when I turn it on, but all I have to do is turn it on and off again and it runs fine. Hell if it did stop working, I’d just buy the 360 elite with a new warranty because that’s how happy i am with the system. No random freezing or frame hiccups like I have experienced with the ps3, just great exclusive games, and thousands of people to kill on xbl.
who lives in the asia now?…
@mako
Yeah this site is a joke.
@OldJello
All fanboy warfare sites are a joke,the Ps3 is ‘at war’ with the 360 in the same way that elephants are at war with money spiders. Until 360 users realise this…the cooler,more talented and better looking Ps3 users are going to have a laugh at the whole situation.

Now PS3 is like x 5 times better than the Xbox 360.

@xbox360FTW
seriously, that was hilarious. its like each time i read a comment of yours or pauls its like a neverending match of who sucks the most coporate penis.
Too many comments since my last post. I just want to make a few general remarks that I think really do need to be addressed, even if they are rather irrelevant. The Xbox 360, in truth, has very few EXCLUSIVE games. By that, I mean that the overwhelming majority of 360 titles are also available on PC. Sure, there’s Halo 3, but that will certainly be coming to PC anyways. Plus, the online community for that game is quite possibly the worst I have EVER seen, save for Starcraft. Lets face it, Halo 3 was good, but it was horrendously overrated. Resistance 2, or even Killzone 2 should have no problems matching or surpassing it.
Now the Wii does have excellent, exclusive titles, but those titles also, for the most part, have virtually non-existent longevity and replayability. Whenever my friend got the latest wii game, he was bored with it 1 or 2 weeks later. This trend has finally stopped with SSBB, so far. The online function with that game is almost completely dysfunctional, and the other AAA wii titles don’t have online multiplayer at all. He consistently mocks the ps3 for having “no good games”. At least the games I play last longer than 7 days. Plus, lets face it, the best new releases for this year are either multi platform or for PS3. The Wii, save for SSBB, has nothing really noteworthy coming out this year. Save for GOW2, the 360 has nothing noteworthy coming out that isn’t multi-platform. The ps3′s illusionary software problems wills soon die.
@Spooky
It’s not about corporations or sales or even penis,it’s about the thrill of the argument!
Since you’re nerdy enough to own multiple consoles,you’ll never experience that thrill.You’re the guy who doesn’t care who wins the final,just so long as it’s a good match…LAME!
@spooky205
Every time xbox360ftw, paul, or nextgenuser comment on something its like there bragging about how well they can jerk themselves (or others) off.
The Halo series sold well because of it’s superior graphics. Resistance 2 has even better graphics, so it will sell better. That’s a fact.
Digital Rain Says:
The Halo series sold well because of it’s superior graphics. Resistance 2 has even better graphics, so it will sell better. That’s a fact.
Way to fail man. Halo sold well because it was an innovation of FPS and had the aspect of superior multiplayer. It introduced such features as only two weapons, dual wielding weapons and a large amount of diverse vehicles. To say Resistance 2 will sell better is like saying GoW2 will sell better than the first Resistance just because of graphics. It’s about the gameplay.
BTW:
my plastic box>yours
@digital rain:
I hate to break it to you, but halo 3 graphics are incredibly lazy.
there’s only a FEW good looking models in the game, and even then it has a disgraceful polygon count with it’s beauty coming from the textures.
@randomfrag:
djdao is a chinese-based company, but they all ship to my country (australia) play-asia is a hong-kong based online games store, that ships worldwide.
since they’re based in asia, they’re the best place to import asian products from, doesn’t mean I’m in asia.
@Digital Rain
Then Crysis on the PC should just kill GoW2 and RFOM 2. That game still can’t be ran on most peoples PCs with the graphic settings at there highest.
@OldJello
PCs are for minesweeper and solitaire.
360s are for noise pollution and scratching discs.
Wiis are for exercising old people’s arthritic joints.
Ps3s are the only sensible choice for awesome gamers like myself.
Paul, yeah that wasn’t cool.
I myself have a “gaming” PC (4GHz AMD dual core, 4GB of ram, that 8500 DX10 graphics card). I made the unfortunate mistake of buying vista though, WORST OS EVER. I’m going to switch back to XP over the summer. I, however, can use it for more than minesweeper and solitaire. I plan on buying COD5 for PC, but at the same time, Red Alert 2 for ps3. But that PC is largely the reason why I did not buy a 360.
XBL is getting DC.
PSN isn’t.
You get what you pay for.
@PM
I didn’t understand any of that computery stuff,in fact I don’t understand too much about anything but don’t tell anyone,I think I’ve got ‘em fooled. I’m happy you’re happy though.
@sixaxis
I know everything there is to know about everything,and I can verify that in the 360′s case,you do get what you pay for…an old junker.
@mako
yes this is a joke website. ahhh how we fanboys easily forget. how has your launch 360 treated you? enjoying your hdmi? oh wait, there is no hdmi. now the premiums have hdmi. i think the arcade might have hdmi as well. looks like microsoft also screwed early adopters by releasing a sku with hdmi almost a year later. it doesn’t matter what system you bought early adopters always get the shaft, it is the price we pay to play the greatest newest games availible.
@six1s
of course you get what you pay for, cause that dlc will have to be paid for as well. you weren’t expecting it to be free now did you?
@spooky
Nope. But I see alot of people on PSN going, “PSN is better because it’s free, but how come we aren’t offered the same good stuff that Xbots are?!”
And Paul if you expect proper responses from me,
you’ll have to address them towards me, and not one of your imaginary friends.
And what AWARD is the SDF going on about winning?
Did they win one of these or something? http://youtube.com/watch?v=EjhLR9pi1mU
notice there’s nothing about the MANDATORY install for PS3 yet… ooooooh
And isn’t it funny hans didn’t reply to my other post!
The 360 would have mandatory installs if there was always a HDD,even I know that!
That’s why GTAIV has an optional install for the peeps with the slightly less shite one.
By the way, I love penis in my ass and my mouth, and I love men. FUCK WOMEN! Men rule!
sixaxis is obsessed with gayness.
@ the_chosen_one,
You’ll find that there will be a mandatory install got GTA4. Pretty much all PS3 games have to install onto the HDD these days, thats how much the POS3 sucks. Source – http://www.maxconsole.net/?mode=news&newsid=26967
Also, the 360 DLC for GTA4 wont be a few new missions but a completely new city. As per usual the PS3 will get nothing. Shows which console will get the definitve version, and it aint the PS3.
Source – http://www.maxconsole.net/?mode=news&newsid=26966
Dont you just love being a shafted PS3 owner. Must feel great to miss out on everything. Still, you can always watch films as the PS3 was intended for anyway.

Looks like that $50 million MS sank into the DLC deal went towards a new city or two!
To get on topic with the news story, what they’re saying is that R2 makes Halo 3 look adequate, and play extremely well!
Also, stating how super awesome a sequel to a game that just did “meh” in the global market place is gonna be, is just STUPID!
@sladely
holy crap i think i just creamed my pants lol!. very nice visuals. although the last one looks like an action figure. it has a plastically look to it. still looks awesome. although i wouldn’t count resistance 2 out of the race yet. resistance 2 is sporting a custom rachet and clank engine and the draw distance and number of enemies on that thing is awesome. as for killzone, from what i seen will be another crysis, unrivaled visuals (on a console) with mediocre gameplay.
That seems to be PS3 devs Modus Operandi.
Lots of flash but no substance.

“The 360 is now the number-one console system in Europe, with 42% of the market in terms of life-to-date revenue.”
@taygee
thats fascinating! too bad no one benefits or cares about this except microsoft.
@paul
basically what preatorian_man is saying is that “his PC whoops the shit out of the PS3, 360 and the wii”.
“Instead of spending the development budget on bribing respected videogame “media†outlets like Microsoft did with Halo”
You might want to take this down. You’re stating speculative opinion as fact and can be sued for slander.
@ Paul
“The 360 would have mandatory installs if there was always a HDD,even I know that!
That’s why GTAIV has an optional install for the peeps with the slightly less shite one.”
ERM! I think you need to read up on that bud! The reason the 360 doesn’t have them is down to the 12x speed DVD drive reading 9gb data rather than a 2x bd-rom drive reading 15-50gb data. plus the 512mb ram on the 360
Erin…
This is great…
@t_c_o
Don’t call me bud,pal! Just tell me why the 360 GTAIV has an optional install.
lol vastly inferior 360. Has the PS3 shown it’s a more capable system? not at all. Show me a PS3 game that looks better than 2006 gears of war…

lolol, kojima is vastly disappointed with the PS3′s capability.
Wow, you people really can’t catch sarcasm huh?
@ Paul
“Don’t call me bud,pal! Just tell me why the 360 GTAIV has an optional install.”
The same reason burnout needs the hard drive… The same reason Football Manager needs the Hard Drive…
Down to the mass amounts of data. Notice it is optional. It will work the same without the install. It’s not mandatory like the PS3 and isn;t as long as the PS3′s either
Who give a crap if this game looks better then Halo. Halo is old news and yet still comparing it. Man, it’s like comparing this game to Quake II. Good job I’m proud of yah, thanks for chuckles.
Ok so the game has good graphics right?
is that all?
Is it any fun?
Halo is a lot of fun. and it has heaps of content. so stop dissing it for no reason.
I like how you idiots are classifying all Wii games as “horrible” and then relating it to Halo 3. The Wii owns the shit out of Gaystation 3. It has awesome exclusives like SSBB and Mario Galaxy. What do you guys have? I can’t name any PS3 games that ever received so much praise from critics and fans.
Also, Halo 3 is a great game in my opinion. Sure its not much different from Halo 2, but I enjoy it and it’s much better by a long shot than most games on Gaystation 3.
Finally, you expected us to believe that the CGI image from the trailer were actually the final graphics for Resistance 2. I don’t even need to say anything more. You guys are made of fail.
actually resistance 2 makes halo 2.5 look like an atari game, u give it too much credit. obviously 360 fanboys own this site
