Golgo 13 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2006 If they didn't fix clipping and animations (among a myriad of other problems) for the later PS2 iterations, what makes one think they'll do it now. SvR 2006 is probably my last until they show some real progress beyond glorified aisle fighting, which is all fighting in the crowd really is, let's face it.

Molotov The Bear 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2006 The demo video for SvR 07 was just awful. Nice shiny characters, but watching Angle repeatedly go through cena while trying to grapple him and the delayed collision detection with the punches and moves...yikes.

devo 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2006 Is anybody else watching (or trying to watch) Sony's press conference through Gamespot? The player seems to be working fine, but all I'm getting a is a placeholder screen with the Gamestop logo and the words "Stay Tuned". Just seeing if it's the same for anyone else.

KingPK 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2006 It's everyone. It's supposedly been delayed. Actually, it's on at 6PM Pacific time, which would be 9PM Eastern and 8PM Central time. EDIT: Uh, never mind. It's starting now, I guess. I guess the 6 PDT time is for IGN's webcast after the conference is over. EDIT 2: Or not. I'm gonna shut up now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Golgo 13 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2006 The love for Nintendo isn't really that sudden. People have been hyped since the controller and its possibilities were revealed, name be damned. Those fanboys were already convinced and ready to praise Nintendo. Nintendo's publicity strategy this round is very wise, however. The Sony conference is starting right now, by the way. Lotsa PR bullshit thus far. Only really relevant points are full backwards compatability and shipping with an HDD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
devo 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2006 This has been pretty underwhelming so far. The FF7 technical demo was far more interesting than this GT4 technical demo. And I don't even like FF7 all that much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

devo 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2006 ... So, instead of looking at the rear-view mirror on the TV, you have to buy a PSP and set it up next to your TV. Brilliant. Everything thus far has been met with an unenthustiastic smattering of applause, and for good reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2006 So, that's what they're doing with PSP connectivity? Hell, Four Swords kills that. I expect PSP games are going to be playable on PS3, although before they can really get economies of scale working for them, announcing it now would kill the PSP dead.

Invictus 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2006 It's still very, very obvious what is real-time and what is pre-rendered in these videos. I especially like how they added the cross-hairs in on that "Eight Days" game to make it seem like it was real-time, yet they had cut-scene camera angles in the MIDDLE of a supposed fire-fight.
