Forums - Gaming Discussion - IGN....R2 vs GEARS 2 Comparison!

to be honest, I never even considered getting R2.

i am, however,on the fence about getting GeoW2 or CoD4:WaW.

Sure, that is understandable, but you cannot claim "The bolded part isn't true" when it might be to him assumption or not based on his particular gaming preferences.

Opinions are opinions. They can never be true or false, fact or fiction.

Assumptions aren't opinions. Assumptions can, and often are incorrect. If someone said "I don't like LBP because I hate Real Time strategy games," they made an assumption and it is factually incorrect.

Assumptions are not protected under the "every man has an opinion" statute.

 



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

Anyway, Resistance 2 isn't the graphical showcase of the PS3, just like FoM wasn't either when it launched.

Wow, baised towards Gears or what? Texture and framrate issues are a horrible thing to have yet it still scores 9.5. And all of this from a game that is meant to be the flagship of the 360's lineup? Doesn't look too good.

 

Hmm, I wonder which console this guy owns.

It's been said many times, the framerate issues are miniscule and unnoticable. You're only bringing them up because this is a 360 exclusive, and it's the only bad thing IGN said about the game in the whole review.

It's funny that this topic is all about Gears and not about R2.

That's how sales and news coverage will be too, though.

why do you say this?? if they were biased , they would have given GOW2 9.8 and RES2 9.3...

Poor PS3 Sales Means Smaller Losses

"Actually, because the number of units sold was not as high as we hoped, the loss was better than our original expectation," Quotes from Sony’s CFO Nobuyuki Oneda.

As for Fallout 3. The PS3 version had a few issues supposedly, I watched my friends play it for PS3 and saw nothing wrong. Come to find out, the 360 version has the same ratio of graphical issues if not more. It depends mostly on system to system basis. Also the 360 version has some game breaking issues as well, ones that the PS3 version lacks. So Not only did the PS3 version not deserve to be marked lower then the 360 version, it deserved to be HIGHER. Yet IGN only partially corrected their mistake by making the scores even now.

 

This is completely untrue. The PS3 version has a worse frame-rate at parts of the game, and the game partially freezes when you're connected to the internet and a user logs on. It's confirmed by several websited, including IGN, Gamespot, and Official Playstation Magazine.

Don't take IGNs review retraction as an admission that the PS3 version is equal. They just removed a specific complaint so the review would be able to be valid after the patch.

The assertion that Fallout 3 deserves to be rated higher on the PS3 than 360 is utter anecdotal nonsense. One website says the game runs fine on the PS3, 40 others say it is not only the worse version, but a particularly bad version of the game.

You're a Sony fan. Sometimes being a big fan of something, makes you think things are unjust, when they aren't.

Sometimes, fans just accept it, like in this thread:

http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=46965

Give it a glance before you reply.

 

I have seen the PS3 version in action. It runs perfectly fine. I do not doubt that there very well may be some frame glitching, screen tearing, slight pausing. Yet from what I have heard of the 360 version, is that it bears these very same issues. I have also read that the 360 version has a game crashing glitch while saving. Thats the kind of glitch that should get points deducted, not some miniscule frame skip.

 

 

Your original assertion was that game deserved to be rated higher on the Playstation 3. Gamespot, IGN, OPMuk, and several other sources confirm that the 360 version is superior for many many reasons, and the official Fallout 3 forums(and all forums on the internet) confirm that certain problems do appear and are significant on the PS3 version of the game. Sites actually rated the PS3 version lower, just to make this clear.

The game does play worse, and has more glitches on the Playstation 3 version. It does not deserve a higher score than the 360 version.

I'm not saying the PS3 version is bad. I'm just saying that it's not superior in any way, and in reality, there hasn't been a game this big, that has been as significantly worse on the PS3 version, since The Orange Box.

The reason seems obvious. Multiplats need to be developed for the PS3 first, in order to be easily ported. Bathesda is a PC company. They weren't making 3 specific versions of the game, or simply porting the game to the PS3 with months of maticulious labor like they did with the PS3 port of Oblivion. They made the game on PC. They ported it to 360 and PS3. They launched the same day. Thus, the PS3 version didn't get the special attention PS3 versions need to run well.

 

1stly i wont be getting this game as there are far better games out there. plus i still havent finished oblivion

but it doesnt actually play worse at all, its the same game that has grafical quirks that arnt up 2 the 360 version, i mean u cant say the 360 version is miles better or anything as the game is same.

but because of the visual quirks on ps3 verion which i hope they patch, i would rate 360 version higher by a couple of points, simply because it stands together better overall, although both games are same if u know what i mean.

i also have to disagree on the orange box. ive played both and have ps3 version, both are identicle apart from, longer load times on ps3, a worse frame rate during heavy fire fights on ep2 and a better online lobby system for team fortress.

apart from that they are identicle, what i hate most though is fanboy reviews, the orig OB reviews for ps3 orange box put me off buying the game, when i finally did thier reviews dont match up2 the game i have in my hands.

OB aggregate is 96 on 360 and 89 on ps3 <------------ thats just pure fanboy reviewism.

if u ever get to play ps3 version please go ahead, u will find it to be the same apart from the points i listed. and if you are a gamer which im sure u are, you would agree that in no way did OB deserve them awful reviews it got.

back on topic though, i would rate fallout 3 on 360 a little higher mabey 2 points higher because of grafix. but if u have ps3 only u would be mad to not buy it as its the same game.

yes its tue gears sales will be more than R2, but non of that profit goes into my back back pocket, as long as game is good to play thats all that matters

coverage again gears coverage will be more, i mean more people and outlets will comeout of the turtle shell and give out reviews like WHAM! Gaming  did on orig gears.

im getting tired of g2vr2 threads

a sony fan will choose r2

and a 360 fan will choose r2

i think everyone should leave it at that
