What the hell is with that aliasing?!? are all ps3 games that bad??

on the plus side at least in the last shot the ps3 version got an extra character :p
 
I'm calling shenanigans. He's gotta be tinkering with that PS3 levels. I reckon he's playing that on a PS2 not a 3.

Those shots are so much worse I dont believe they are from the ps3.

:p

Are you supposed to get a sun tan from those PS3 brightness levels?

What leads and res are you using for these shots KNiVES?
Even if the gamma could be sorted the lack of AA is shocking.

The 360 is using composite, with 720p. The PS3 is using HDMI with 720p. I was going to use 1080i, but the PS3 can't do that, and I wanted a fair comparision ;)
 
wow, just started playing this game tonight and when i finally stopped it was 3am... damn.

this is the first game since gears of war to have a singleplayer that has gripped me. the presentation is awesome and the graphics are nice and the main character is just plain cool.

360 power baby! am in ww1 hell atm and its scary as hell (pun intended ;)).

ooo one of my collectables was the first issue of the darkness so read that, so i understand where the darkness actually comes from. hopefully will complete this game in the next few days.

highly recommended :)

Best level in the game for me. Decent amount of enemies and the only ones that I found vaguely tough. Loved the patched up mentalist british soldiers.

Make sure you check out suicide corner ;)
 
actually i have another complaint about this, im currently having to play on an SDTV (i know, feel my pain) and the unlockable comics are unreadable, i'll have to wait until im back on my monitor :(
 
I think that alaising on the PS3 is down to poor coding on by the devs IMO. Thats the most shocking need of AA I have seen on a game in recent years - I will be glad when the PS3 has been out long enough and has a big enough install base for developers to make it the lead dev platform.
 
Just played and finished

Interesting & cool scenario but poorly executed imo :(

The Darkness is supposed to be this all awesome power/killing machine but I never really felt in control per se. Whilst the powers were cool using them effectively was fiddly. Combat was awkward and rather ponderous.

I had visions of wandering into areas and laying waste to all living things but was disappointed.

The gunplay whilst a nice touch with one trigger for each gun occasionally left me annoyed/confused as I routinely forgot to press the left trigger - user error in all honesty but I feel it led to awkwardness in fights as one gun suddenly runs out of ammo.

The movement speed was also too slow. Really needed a sprint function as some of the areas were quite large and there was a fair bit of A to C via B which was dull. Also I found wandering around with the darkness powers activated frustrating as you had to keep stopping to take lights out to keep your powers active.....made you feel all too vunerable tbh.

A further gripe would be the large open areas (city blocks/fields between trenches) left me wandering around confused and lost at times. Also the city blocks appeared to be completely deviod of life at times which was a little bit sad.

Anway enough moaning - things I liked:

The phones \0/ - press buttons for funny messages - gave me a bit of a giggle at the very least.

The Loading Screens - Although it could have done with just a few more stories these were a refreshing take on the usual boring loading screens :)

I also rather enjoyed the speediness of the arrival of trains - wish we could get something that good....

The TV shows were also a nice touch and made it feel a bit more real.


6/10 - The Mediocreness....
 
I thought it was a pretty good game on the whole. The darkness powers were quite unlike anything we've seen before. That's got me wondering - shouldn't we have had the Chronicles of Riddick remake by now?
