***Drake's Fortune Review!***

Got it yesterday in the post.

Gfx are definately not as good as all the hype. The water in particular is very average to me. Even Far Cry on the 360 has better water than this and thats been out for ages.

For the PS3 its probably a must buy because of the lack of decent games but in the scheme of things its not the killler title it is made out to be. Just feels average and like a slightly prettier version of Tomb Raider Anniversay with poor water, smoke & fire gfx.

Surely you jest ? :eek:

Had to quote it again :p

The water is way better than far cry. On the surface they look bland but once you experiment with it and find new things about the water it's very good. I personally found the ripples amazing, stand in a puddle, then run forward a little bit, the ripples created are awesome. I wasnt impressed by the demo water but the full game water is ace!

EDIT- Just noticed you meant instincts. The water does look better in instinct but the water in Uncharted has more effects to it when you play around with it.

Nice girlfriend, tell her I say Hi ;)

Have fun with Drake's Fortune. I know I have been... now with the added rumble in my hand ;)

V1N.
 
graphics are awesome despite the 360 fanboys put downs, noticing a bit of tearing on my old tv but everything seems spot on on my newer goodmans screen.
 
Just traded Mass Effect in for this. Game does look very nice, the environments are nicely detailed. For me it's not one of those 'wow, that's stunning' games, but it still looks more than good enough.

Think I would tend to agree with AWPC on one point though, the water in Far Cry Instincts does look slightly better, which is about the only good thing you can say about that game.

Try disabling 720p in your display options on the PS3, some games don't run at 1080i unless you do that, i'm assuming its the same for 1080p.

Mine deffinately runs at 1080i if I do that and looks stunning.

Doesn't that just force the PS3 to upscale the image to 1080 like 360 does? it's still not proper 1080.
 
i always thought that if the game was 720p

and you have 720p and 1080i selected on ps3

then it upscales to 1080i which imo so far looks better for the games ive played. (720p still looks nice though)

if you have 1080p selected then it upscales to that (UNLESS it was a 1080p native game in which case alls good anyway)
Dont see the problem? :confused:

Yes, that way the PS3 scales to 1080p instead of the LCD, with my Sony 40W2000 te image is the same in both modes as the LCD has a very good scaler.
 
As an experiment I just disabled 720P in settings and the demo now runs at 720x576 (SD) according to my TV.

Perhaps it's just the demo that doesn't support 1080i/p mode?

When I disabled 720p with the demo the LCD indicated it was running at 1080p :confused:
