You don't need that to break the ice... Just need a friend, with which you got something to say, and incorporate her in your talking... Then she thinks : ''That guy really has something to say, he may be good in the bed!''. Then you say thanx to your friend and go home with the chick.

TopicDon't be deceived by my Level 1 Status... I have been around Gamespot since early 2004, just decided to remove the ''PS2'' part from my name and go with my XBL Gamertag... see some conflict already?Anyway, I haven't really been around the current-gen ''system wars'' boards very long but i spent a huge amount of time previously defending my PS2 against the xbox and GC fanboys. I'm a Microsoft fan, not yet fanboy, this generation and was just wondering how much more/less blood is spilled this gen. compared to last.

360 Developer: Hitting Graphical Limit B ...

Major Nelson recently interviewed Mark Terrano, a video game programmer and Design Director for Hidden Path Entertainment on the progress of the industry from a technological point view, and specifically his evaluation of the current generations technical achievements and limitations for the Xbox 360 XBLA games.


Transcript of Segment in Interview
Major: Looking back on all the work you've done in the industry, are you surprised at where you are today in terms of technology or do you see alot of power in the box to be unlocked - specifically for the Xbox 360..

Developer: I think we've really pushed where we can go graphically, I think realism is losing some of the luster - I would love to see some work done on what we call ''non-photo realistic rendering'', paint-related techniques, we do things you can do in movies but I'm more interested in what you can't do in movies...

Major: Interesting..

Developer. I thought it was sad that we had to let the Matrix to show how fun Bullet-Time could be, we (developers) have control of the camera, we have control of the content, we're not limited by lenses etc, we (the industry) can do alot more things to draw the players attention to tell a story that haven't been discovered by movie camera's.

Major: Interesting, I never really thought of it like that. Why keep pushing the photo-realism that you could do more things to make the gameplay more effective.

Developer: Right. And I think the bar could be alot higher with animation and A.I, the things really cue into when interacting with an environment to make it more believable, to just make the characters - the scenes, we interact with more fun. We're seeing really good physics now, we all know how much fun it is to drive and smash cars in BURNOUT and do alot of things to make it more fun with the physics..etchttp://www.n4g.com/dev/NewsCom-145939.aspx?CT=1#Comments360 Developer: Hitting Graphical Limit B ...
Xbox Live Arcade developer...rriiiiggghhhttt..360 Developer: Hitting Graphical Limit B ...
Yeah, graphical limitations for Xbox Live Arcade games, not the entire thing :
|Balls. The 360's barely been out 3 years, it hasn't hit it's graphical limit.
If every game can't look better then what Gears 2 will look like, so what?
I believe it.. With the exception of the upcoming Gears 2, X360 hasn't had a big graphical update since the first Gears. And keep in mind X360 is supposedly ''easy to develop for.''
I believe BOTH Gears 2 and RE5 are pushing the console, visually. I don't see much improving after those 2..but he makes good points on animation and A.I which are important for GOOD gameplay, IMO.
[QUOTE=''EmperorSupreme'']I believe it.. With the exception of the upcoming Gears 2, X360 hasn't had a big graphical update since the first Gears. And keep in mind X360 is supposedly ''easy to develop for.''[/QUOTE]isnt he talking about xbox live arcade? :
|[QUOTE=''thrones'']Yeah, graphical limitations for Xbox Live Arcade games, not the entire thing :|[/QUOTE]I will take it one step further. The TC is taking two totally unrelated comments, assuming ''we have really pushed the graphics'' means ''we've hit the limit'' and then combined those comments to create a totally misleading and deceitful thread.I'm a PS3 fan, and I also think the 360 will have hit its graphical max this year...but this thread is BS and a total distortion. The developer has not even come close to saying what the TC claims.
How big of a technological leap is Gears 2 over the original?

Tsunoda: They're just masters at upping the ante on the technology every go round. It's funny, a lot of people ask, ''At this point in the life cycle, how much of the capabilities of the hardware are you using on this project?'' And the funny thing about game developers is that we're going to use 100% of the hardware capabilities. You're always taxing out the machine to its fullest extent. The thing Epic is really great at is the pipe is [only so big] and it's how much more stuff can they cram into that pipe with their technology advancements in every version of the game. What was once not possible on the 360 -- yeah, now that's all in Gears 2.

Some developers will make technology for the sake for technology. [Epic] is really good at building technology for better gameplay... Like the destructible environments. It's really complex thing to pull of technically, but it adds a lot to the gameplay for Gears. It's not just a technical showcase, it's enhancing the gameplay.

your ownage threads are weak and easy to destroy cow.

No where does he state the xbox360 is at its limit in terms of graphics. He said pushng for realism is at its limit.

I think you have slightly misinterpreted the words of the developer. He says that we have pushed graphics. In other words this is where the emphasis has been, not that we have pushed graphics as far as they will go (although he may imply this slightly). He says that this approach is losing its luster, which I would interpret as meaning that we are beginning to suffer from diminishing returns, where greater and greater effort is necessary to significantly improve graphics.I believe he is saying (as I believe) that redirecting some of that effort to improving AI (for instance) would give better returns in terms of game quality.
I'd actually want that to happen a bit, but i guess the wii is already heading down that path.
Dude, if gears2 happens to be the graphical limit of X360, then its more than enough for me. I mean Gears2 looks freaking fantastic!
XBLA games...:

    StarCraft is still amazingly fun to play. Playing Baldur's Gate 2 and Neverwinter Nights online is also still a blast. Natural Selection and Sven Co-op are still pretty entertaining... As for not on PC though, I'd have to say one of my favorites is Phantom Dust. I'm surprised people even play it online at all, but they do. Its pretty sweet.Name an old game that is still fun to pl ...
    For me id say any final fantasy game, no matter what the game I have fun with it and the best platform for was the GB I can still pick up that thing and play some awesome old game =)EDIT: Also i forgot to add, I'm still playing WC3 for all the crazy and fun custom games :)
    Lets see, off the top of my head...Doom IIDoomHereticHexenBloodShadow WarriorDuke Nukem 3dDescent 1Descent 2Half-LifeEdit: These are just pre 2000
    Majora's Mask is still as fun as ever.
    Planescape: Torment. I have beat that game on several occasions and to this day still find myself restarting.
    Contra 3: The Alien Wars.It always gives me the action fix. Oh, and Symphony of the Night. Played through it again a few weeks ago and had an awesome time.
    Platform best for old games would have to be the 16-bit era such as the SNES and Genesis. PC would seem like a good choice as well, but some software has problems installing on current Operating Systems.One game though...Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Still completely playable, still awesome and relevant in design.
    Any of these lists:http://www.gametrailers.com/player/32570.htmlhttp://www.gametrailers.com/player/31740.htmlhttp://www.gametrailers.com/player/26529.html
    Banjo Kazooie, Battletoads, Final Fantasy VI, Chrono Trigger and Donkey Kong Country 2.
    Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers on the NES and SMB3.
    [QUOTE=''gamer620'']Planescape: Torment. I have beat that game on several occasions and to this day still find myself restarting.[/QUOTE] Funny you should mention that. I've been recently playing through Torment again. This time around I decided to be a murderous bastard. Chaotic Evil... FTW? :P

    Sonic 2, NBA JAM TE and NHl94....LOZOOT SSB NFL Blitz....the old stuff is so much more FUN than the new stuff
    See sig :)
    Starcraft, Diablo, Diablo II, Warcraft III, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Baldur's Gate, Baldur's gate II. I would name a couple NES/SNES games a couple months ago but now I can't seem to play any of them lately without dozing off.
    Super Mario World because its just that amazing. TMNT2:The arcade game for the nostalgia. i used to play the game as a kid with my cousin all the time and we used to have so much fun with it!
    defintely oot is always fun to play
    [QUOTE=''tmntPunchout'']Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers on the NES and SMB3. [/QUOTE]INSTANT, EPIC and HUGE Win.
    [QUOTE=''IronBass''] [QUOTE=''tmntPunchout'']Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers on the NES and SMB3. [/QUOTE]INSTANT, EPIC and HUGE Win. [/QUOTE]Omg whoah! This game completely slipped my mind! This game is definitely amazing as well. I used to play this as well alongside TMNT2. I hope this game comes out on the virtual console! That and Tiny Toons: Trouble in Wackyland (Im pretty sure that was the name...)
    Hehe, I just, minutes ago, finished Mega Man 4. It's a great and an old game that's still fun. Next up is Mega Man 3! :)

    I am the type of person who will defend any console if I hear a fanboyish comment like:My cousin (360 owner) ''the PS3 is stupid!''Me (don't really care for PS3) why because it doesn't play halo? *eyeroll*My cousin yeah! (funny because last gen he had a PS2)Does anyone else do this at all? Have you ever defended a console that yo ...
    Even though I am disapointed with Nintendo's direction this gen, I still have to defend the Wii against all my dumb friends (Its not that I don't like the Wii, am just disapointed at the lack of good games for it)

    Have you ever defended a console that yo ...
    I like all the consoles, but I always defend consoles as soon as I see a pattern of a certain console bashing.For example, if some people are picking on the Wii, I would be more than happy to show people the positive side of things, despite the negatives that I may agree with on them.
    All the time. Im a heavy PC gamer and dislike all 3 consoles for different reasons.But i've defend all 3 in cases of misinformation.
    sometimes, especially when the bashing has really stupid arguments...
    Yes, I only have a PS3, lost my interest for the Wii and never cared about the 360. But like the other guys above I defend them from pointless fanboy coments at some times.
    Only against false assumptions, lies or opinions that people try to pass on as fact.If someone is criticizing a system I don't like with a good factual argument then well, I applaud them.
    all the time. i even bashed my own console of choice because it was funny
    yeah If I hear completly stupied comments about any system I defend it because It makes the bashed console look bad and the console that the basher owns look bad. In the end everyone looks bad and like lifeless fanboys
    Yes. I even bash the 360, even though it is my ideal console of choice!
    [QUOTE=''starmetroid''] I am the type of person who will defend any console if I hear a fanboyish comment[/QUOTE]Wow, thats a little ironic!First of all, I never use the term ''F***oy. Second, why should I care what another person prefers or believes in? So, no!
    Not really. I don't care if people bash or praise the Wii. I don't like it, some people don't like it, and some people do. I accept it and move on.
    Well, I like all consoles, but I like the 360 the least and I defend it all the time.Of course, I still like it, so that's probably why. :P
    [QUOTE=''XaosII'']All the time. Im a heavy PC gamer and dislike all 3 consoles for different reasons.But i've defend all 3 in cases of misinformation. [/QUOTE]OMG! Stop perfectly describing me!:evil:
    Well I own all three, and prefer the 360. I usually just make fun of the fact that I havent turned my Wii on in months, and that I only use my PS3 for playing movies. But I only do this knowing that they will have the last laugh when the 360 is in 3rd in sales overall after this gen. There there 360, I still love you.
    The only time i defend the ps3 is when some mis informer lemming is bashing LBPother then that i agree that its overatted piece of trash with 1 good exclusive game on it.
    Yes, I've defended the Wii before.
    Same as XaosII here.

    In the new issue of gameinformer, theres news of a better color quality psp coming out this month on the 15th.. should i get it.. or wait and get the dsi?2 buy the new psp or not to buy the new ...
    well I would rather buy a PSP but whats this i hear about a DSI2 buy the new psp or not to buy the new ...
    If you already have a PSP I don't see any reason to bother with it.
    It depends i guess.

    psp is more universal and i beleive they will be the same price when dsi comes to america (later in 2009).



    As for this Bullcrap ds has better games then psp...thats just a rumor that ppl make up who dont have both portables....

    i cant honestly say, sure ds has more games, but im WAY MORE IMPRESSED BY PSP LIBRARY. i mean, yay i can play ''SAT practice, or BRIAN QUIZ'' WAHOOO....

    i prefer real games, sure DS has some, but PSP games>DS games imo....

Don't worry it's ok. There's a variety of games on the DS that are fun and engaging. Lots of stuff to blow up, people to take over, monsters to capture, worlds to end, people to defend (pfft... who needs that?) and more! And for the topic creator, Mr. Bear finds the ''new'' features or subtle upgrades if you will on the new PSP to be unworth the money if you already own a current PSP. (Well PSP2000 that is Skype is fun to terrorize people with! :D Rawr!)
    [QUOTE=''Skittles_McGee'']If you already have a PSP I don't see any reason to bother with it.[/QUOTE] Perfectly put...
    depends if u dont have a DS at all then yes get a DSi or even if u have the old one upgrade thats what im doing i was going to get DSL but good thing i heard of the DSi ill wait for that
    get the dsi and wait for (if sony countinues this pattern) the psp 4000 next year. Sony is talking about puting a hard drive in the psp so I'm waiting for that till I upgrade my phat.
    I see no need for it myself. I have a GoW red one and it works fine for me.
    I may end up getting one since my 2000 bricked.
    Get a dsi you dontt need that port dumpster of a handheld when you can get an xbox for much cheaper with better graphics controlls and games.
    The new PSP most likely be unhackable.
