Errrrrrr...that is only rumor

This is Bizzare's respond to the rumor...

Bizarre Creations: DVD9 gives us more than we need for PGR 4

Yesterday we posted up an article in which a member of Bizarre commented that "Whilst this wasn't a problem for our dev team, it was a problem fitting all this data onto a single DVD." in a post on their Official forums (here). As you'd imagine this news item created quite a frenzy with 'fanboys' as Bizarre put it, with Sony even saying that the news justified their Blu-ray intention. However, Bizarre has seeked to officially call out MaxConsole and two other websites who posted the respective story and claim that DVD9 gives them more than enough room to create a 'faboulous experience', concluding that each next-gen system has its own merits and developers will work with each system as best as they possibly can.

quote:

As I'm sure you've seen, some of the comments made on our forum have been blown out of all proportion. This has been reported on certain web sites. It seems that a number of fanboys have jumped on the topic... sigh. So it's time we cleared this one up...

When we started designing PGR4 our primary goals were to create a great and unique experience over and above PGR3, to push the hardware as far as we could, and obviously to ensure that we give great value for money. DVD size is absolutely not a factor that we consider when designing our games... and PGR4 is no exception. DVD9 gives us more than we need to create a fabulous experience for you guys.

We've never had to cut content to fit on the disc, and we probably never will.

Each next-gen format has its own merits. We should know, as we're currently developing games for all of them in one form or another. It's not a case of one system having less of this, and the other having more of that. As developers we are given a fixed platform, and that's what we work with. At the end of the day we're games developers, and we try to create the best we can irrespective of platform. We hope you end up agreeing with our design decisions when you see the game for yourself.

You can read about it Bizzare

Hey...what is the problem with you?

I didn't say the 360 is better. I just list out what games I would buy for each system.

And about the joke that I'm am rich...just a joke man . That makes you jealous of me because of a joke!!!

And about buying a 360, I will decide when to buy it. In the mean time, you can hug your beloved PS3 and play what is available for it cos nobody is stopping you.

And by the way, I am not an XBOX fan who comes here to bash the PS3 because I also bought the PS3 lah and here is the prove

On the blue corner...

Juiced 2 delayed on PS3, Stuntman Canned

THQ's latest release schedule denotes that Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights is to be delayed in its release on the PS3 until October, while the 360, PS2 and DS versions should all make it onto store shelves this September. However, a further blow is to be dealt, as it seems as if Stuntman: Ignition has been canned from being released on the PS3 but the game is still due for a release on the 360 and PS2 on August 31st.

On the green corner...

HEAVENLY SWORD...reviewed by ThreeSpeech

As one of the games showcased pre-launch, Heavenly Sword, developed by Brit outfit Ninja Theory, has always been hotly anticipated. However, we'll admit to being slightly worried about it - it always looked great, but would its sword-fighting gameplay cut the mustard? At last, we've got hold of pretty complete preview code and from the moment we popped it into our debug, our worries melted away. There's no doubt it will be held up as an example of the sort of killer games the PS3 so badly needs when it arrives in the shops in September.


Following various early demos, it seems we obtained an erroneous impression of Heavenly Sword - it looked like an arena-fighting game, in the grand manner of Japanese beat-em-ups, but we saw no evidence of a coherent storyline. In reality, it proves to have a most excellent storyline, with some of the best voice acting, facial animation and motion-capture we've ever seen (both Andy Serkis, famed for playing Gollum in the Lord of the Rings and theatrical genius Steven Berkoff have been involved in that). And, more importantly, it boasts pleasingly varied and often innovative gameplay with a beautifully judged learning curve.

For the most part, you play Nariko - a quite astonishingly beautiful and seriously feisty redhead surely destined to generate a sizeable fan-club - daughter of local chieftain Shen and older sister of Kai, a young, child-like creature given to wearing a cat-eared hat and performing cartwheels. Nariko's sword-skills and gymnastic abilities are the equal of any man's, while Kai (who you also control at times) 0would give Robin Hood a run for his money at
archery.

The game starts with Shen, Nariko and Kai's home fort under siege by the evil hordes commanded by King Bohan, a nasty piece of work surrounded by a bunch of mutant sycophants including his huge, dopey son Roach, the reptilian Whiptail and the metal-winged, shaven-headed Flying Fox. Actually, it starts with Nariko dying before flashing back to the siege, but we don't want to spoil things for you. The siege provides a good means of introducing you to the basics of the control system - combinations of square and triangle produce different attacks. After fighting off the initial wave, Bohan's full army descends, complete with giant catapults, which introduces another key gameplay mechanic: the ability to launch projectiles and by keeping square pressed and moving the Sixaxis around, to steer them all the way to their target. In the first instance, you'll be firing cannonballs at the catapults, but the same principle applies to Kai's arrows, shields and swords that you can pick up and so forth.

Before long, Shen has been captured and Nariko has acquired the Hevenly Sword, an enormous, cursed sword that Nariko can apply in three different ways from three stances. The default being speed, which generates low-strength attacks, but in which Nariko will automatically block incoming attacks (except for unblockable ones, which the game signals by highlighting their perpetrators with a red blur). In her Range stance, Nariko sends blades on chains whirling around her - later, you learn how to use this attack to create mini-whirlwinds. And there's a Power stance, which is slow, but inflicts serious damage. Health is topped up by smashing special urns; Nariko can pick up pretty much anything and chuck it.

Before long, you're chaining attacks together, working out the best way to take down different types of enemies (Nariko is a serious fighting machine and can take on loads at a time) and discovering cute touches, such as a great counter-attack, also using the Sixaxis' motion-sensing capabilities, which lets Nariko embed a chain on a blade into an enemy and kick them off balance. Nariko can evade attacks if you flick the right stick. And when you get on a roll involving landing loads of hits without sustaining any yourself, you're awarded Superstyle attacks, triggered using the circle button, which are seriously brutal and deeply satisfying.

As well as the fighting, there are levels in which you play as Kai, who has no melee abilities but an unlimited supply of arrows - and you can, for example, fire arrows through flames, then guide them into gunpowder barrels which take out several enemies at a time. There's plenty of puzzle-solving, too, often involving opening gates (by repeatedly pressing the Action button, X) or chucking objects at gongs. A few also involve hitting prescribed buttons with alacrity.

And, of course, there are some seriously epic, multi-stage boss-battles - the bosses start with their health highlighted in green, which changes orange when you run it down (usually triggering a cut-scene). Then it will change from orange to red, and when you finally remove the last red health, you will have prevailed. Every boss requires a radically different strategic approach.

Heavenly Sword is amazing to behold, seriously addictive, pleasingly original, in that it manages not to feel like any other game you've played, demonstrates incredible attention to detail and, in general, is everything we hoped we'd find in a PS3 game. You could say that it's about time, too - but once you get hold of a copy, you'll agree that it was worth the wait.

Added on August 15, 2007, 4:01 pmoh boy...EA has got some great games. Some of the best I like are SSX series, the NBA Street and other Street games were awesome, and BURNOUT(the best arcade racing game ever).

Added on August 15, 2007, 4:09 pmChill out man. I don't care what developer has to say....like which console can do better AI or which console cannot do 60 fps. If the XBOX360 version is better, then just buy the 360 version. Its cheaper and better. Smart consumer.

It doesn't matter you are interested in those games or not....those are still some of the greatest game franchise in the past generation. So when you say "did they make any good games"...oh hell ya they sure did and those are just a few of the many great games from EA. As a matter of fact EA is the biggest game company in the entire universe.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction!!!

Some dogs don't bark, but they are still dogs!!!

Wow...that is one fierce dog!!!

eh..don't come here talking about XBOX games ah You will piss off many people ah.

Considering buying the 360?

Holy shit...

Another Perfect 10 Bioshock review rolls in - Gameinformer

Gameinformer has completed its review on Bioshock for the Xbox 360 and awarded it a perfect 10. They conclude that the whole game screams perfection and is a complete gaming masterpiece. This has to be on course for one of the highest scoring games in recent video game history.

quote:

Everything about this game screams perfection, but there's one element that might not sit well with you. Rather than dying in battle, players simply respawn at a vita-chamber. The damage dealt to an adversary remains even though the player didn't succeed. You simply have to go back and clean up your mess to continue on. As intense as the gameplay is, knowing you really can't fail takes some of the bite out of it. Yes, this system will allow gamers of all skill levels to complete the game - which is a developer's dream - but it may alienate gamers who only turn to games for a challenge.

Of course, even if you play games strictly for the difficulty that they bring, BioShock is a title that needs to be played, simply because you will never look at an FPS the same way again. Of the 15 to 20 hours of gameplay that it delivers, there isn't a second wasted. Once you finish the game, there's little chance that you'll take it out before playing it again to see the second ending.

It's ingenious, enthralling, and a masterpiece of the most epic proportions. So without further delay, would you kindly enter Rapture so that you too can experience the best that video games have to offer?

Holy shit ... which idiot did that?

Thanks for your advice man. Or later I got banned and everyone also happy. That is not good!
