you coming on to me? lol
dead space was a straight port. fps are into the 200. 300's.
its games that are direct ports that have HDAO tessellation and stupidly un-optimized AA poorly implemented that require ridiculous specs.

Tehe, whatever gave you that idea, treacle?
I doubt they are that high, not even Street Fighter IV can bench at over 300.
It's a DX9 game, and DX9 can support SSAO and AA, it's 2013 so we'll most likely have what you just described, DX11 (volumetric, tessellation etc) and Hi-Rez textures take effort, SSAO and AA can easily be slapped on the game sadly.
My reasoning:The only direct ports I can think of that run well are the Street Fighter games and Dead Space, the rest require hardware that is space age compared to the consoles, for nothing more than some sharper shadows and higher render resolutions.
What makes me laugh is that EA are going on about how Dead Space needs to sell X copies to be worthwhile or it'll lose them tons of money and they'll scrap the series, yet proceed to bog the game down with horrible micro transactions and don't bother to treat PC Gamers with respect, they'll definitely get horrible PC sales figures, but then they can always say 98% of us are Pirates like all the devs do when their glorified console crap flops on the PC.
Its pretty dumb supporting this series, 3 has just been butchered now it has co op etc, seems this one is a lot more action orientated and will lose its atmosphere & micro transactions for singleplayer? Just scummy business practice.

Dead Space 3 is most likely the last title in the series anyway as EA expect 5m + sales this time round & its unlikely to reach much more than 3m so likely to come up well short on what EA consider to be enough for them to make any more

Yeah, I rolled my eyes at the console port worries for this series, and then was stunned to read the micro-transactions. Honestly, there's no place for that kind of thing in a full priced AAA game. Typical EA trying to milk every last drop of money.

Exactly, I think I read somewhere that ea want multiplayer and micro transactions of some kind in every game published by them now.

Already being done with C&C Generals 2.
With regards to Dead Space 3 I hope it's not a case of grinding to build decent weapons. I read you can just buy them straight up rather than work for them. I have a few concerns about this game but console port is the least of them. The co op is hardly appealing as it will take away the scare factor. The previous games made me jump on several occasions and I hope this isn't taken away. Even though you can play single on your own it has no doubt been developed with co op in mind.
I don't mean f2p with micro transactions or something, I mean the same as it is now, you pay £40 for Battlefield 5 or whatever, but then after 7 days you have to start paying a subscription to keep access to the online features.

Ah I get you, sorry I miss read your original message.
They pretty much do that with map packs to an extent as people lap them up and if you don't you get left behind as your mates are on the new maps. Surely a pay to play fps would be a flop. Most people that buy cod for instance are quite casual gamers and wouldn't stump up a monthly fee.
Well a one time fee then or abilities to purchase guns and experience. Something as popular as a mofps like Battlefield has so much grinded content. I think they'd sell keys to vehicles, like 25p buys you a Tank key that gives you the ability to drive tanks for a day, or a single game, probably just one game.
Imagine if Activision for example could grind another ten or twenty quid out of most players, ontop of initial purchase and DLC. There's yet more milk to be had from the genre imo.

Was it not leaked the xbox will have a 6900 ish GPU so already behind
I absolutely love the first two, never have I played a game and constantly found myself saying "this is such a *****ng amazing game". Let's just hope they keep the intricacies that we've seen thus far, their attention to detail in each environment is astounding.

Played the PS3 demo of DS3 the other day, it was boring. If you liked DS2 you'll probably like DS3 because it's action-focused as opposed to Dead Space which relied on atmosphere and creepiness. Personally I was massively disappointed with DS2, it simply didn't have the atmosphere or attention to detail the first game had. DS3 has simply pushed the series even further away from that.
