For all the hype around MotorStorm I saw it being played in a store the other day... Talk about jagilicious..

As far as I know, Japan is the only country with a working title.

Avarice dude the game and console are completely region free and MotorStorm is out in Japan. The demo sucked and the retail version does suffer from jaggies, but no more so than Project Gotham 3.

I still say motorstorm is ' ' gabage' '

Am I really the only one that knows this? God, is this what some of you guys feel all the time?

Motorstorm JP and the Motorstorm Demo are based on outdated code. Almost all the framerate issues you see in the demo are nonexistent in the final version. And while I can' t say that all the jaggies are gone, they' re apparently much less evident.

Yeah, no more so than Project Gotham 3. Oh wait...

Thank you for clearing this up. I' m not as knowledgeable as a few of you guys on this board. I don' t usually end up finding all the tidbits of info that I' m looking for when it comes to games.

Well Calintz, listen to Nitro when he says he will get Genji as a graphical showcase. Because it really is lacking IMO

I really enjoyed the first game, so if it' s anything like that, I' ll be happy I will probably end up getting Resistance at launch though and get or rent Genji sometime in the near future instead.

Well, sadly I never played the first so I can' t compare the two . However, it seems like renting like you suggest would be a good idea. That way you can have your fun with it, and if you get bored like I did, you aren' t out $60.

I just took a look at the reviews of both games, and the Genji for ps2 got mid 70' s and the ps3 version got mid 50' s . At least according to metacritic , and it compiles all sorts of reviews. Some of the reviews are poorly done, but it gives a good idea of what most sites/mags thought.

Yeah, me either. I' m suprised nobody pulled out that little nugget earlier.

I really enjoyed the first Genji, but it was waaaaay too short. That' s the reason it got 7' s on most of the sites/mags. It was beatable in one decent session if you were good. The second one totally dropped the ball though, no excuse for that junk.[:' (]

The only reason to guy Genji 2 woulod be the aye candy, tha graphics are great and the cut scenes are so beautiful, still a blu ray movie would be much better choise, maybe casino royale

Lol I really didnt think we would see a true cross over to discussion of dvd selection instead of games - if this is what Sony wanted for their console it seems they may well be getting their way. No great eye candy games out? Buy a BR disk instead!

Nitro - I started as an IT Network administrator after I fell out of love with the concept of the UK games industry, almost 8 years ago now. Just make sure you crack into it before too long. (Although now I' m setting up my own company so I guess its never too late!)

Meh, it' s not that i' ve gone against the industry, i just got ridiculously behind with my work and i' d never have passed the year. Y' know, kinda like my first year at uni...

I' m not academic.

Anyways, i' ll be moving within 6 months so i' ll be starting over in Canada anyway. I wonder what Canadian unis are like...

EDIT: I forgot, ...it' s good to see you back here Andy. You been too busy to visit me?

Majik, if you' re a procrastinator like I am (and I bet you are), Canadian Universities aren' t any more forgiving to people like us as they are in England. On the other hand tuition might be cheaper.

I can get 80-100% on any test, but I' m terrible with assignments, especially essays. I hate meaningless structure, and detest having to display my knowledge under confined and strict rules. The thing I hate more then anything though is deadlines. Considering these things, I' m utterly terrible at handing in assignments on time, if at all.

Infact I just missed a 20% Essay that was due last week for one of my classes, so now I need a 75% average with everything else to pass (60% is a passing grade). Sometimes I really hate myself.

It' s been so mental here since I pushed intake up by 290% for the course since I started here, various things, the company, new labs etc..but I am DETERMINED to make a fresh start here again.. just watch this space! **seriously** Perhaps you want to contribute stuff to the bigger projects when they kick off in future?

I' m pretending to understand all of that.

You know me, i' m always interested.

Good good! I was thinking about waiting a while to pick a PS3 up, although i will be getting one for the studio as well as a 360. As the students are moving on to XNA there isnt so much potential use for it, especially when it comes to ease of use.

I was getting one on launch myself, but pending the recent specification change I have cancelled it and decided to wait a couple months.

Who here is getting one on EURO / UK launch, when what bundle have you gone for?

*I* am going halves on it with a friend, but still getting a launch unit. I can' t wait
to unwrap it and then get all my fingerprints on it, I hope the PS3 isn' t afraid of
getting a little dirty, I' ll touch it!

That being said.... I don' t know what games to get, I don' t even know if there' s a bundle as I didn' t pre-order it, my friend did, but I don' t know the details, and he
doesn' t really understand the concept of pre-ordering.

Tix I think that makes you a technophile.

Well, my 360 didn' t break on it' s own.

Technophile! LMAO...

You left your 360 with an uncomfortably irritating red ring whenever it gets turned on.


Typical .

You left your 360 with an uncomfortably irritating red ring whenever it gets turned on.

Speaking of the Red light of doom I took my 360 out of town for the weekend and when i got back i plugged in the power cord first, then turned it on without plugging in the AV cables and the ring came on red and i swear my heart stopped

Yeah, done that a couple of times myself. Only mine was for substantially longer. I powered it up & down twice. It' s amazing what parts of your brain don' t work when you' re panicked.
