Not astonishing of course, because the game is nevertheless a quiet success since the demo than one half million gedownload already more became, and the game itself has conquered plekje in the top 10 in several lists of best sold games.

In an interview with the Swedish booklet Kong CEO did Christofer Sundberg of Avalanche studio the Second part from the doeken. Again you will crawl in the skin of protagonist Rico Rodriguez, but part 2 will no longer take place on the tropical island of San Espirito. Where part will take place 2, however, and further information on the game Avalanche will will make studio in the coming months confessed.Just Cause 2 must on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 to appear, waneer exact is not yet clear.

Too many multiplatform games this gen I'm afraid.

So? Both sides of the Console war get the same games then, So there wont be any arguing saying "Omgz That Game Sux0rz!" About Exclusive titles. Anyway Just Cause is an alright game, Some of the best Graphics I have ever seen in a video game infact. Only problem is though the gameplay wasn't to good, Hopefully they make the gameplay just as good as the graphics on Just cause 2.

^If both sides get the same games-then what's the point of having 2 consoles? LOL...the exclusives will come tho VG...Wii will have the most at the beginning simply due to the controller, and if 360 doesn't prove to be a WorldWide success-then you can expect all that Japanese love to support PS3 the same as this gen. Besides that-it's so much more money to make games-developers have to maximize the profit potential by going multiplatform. Sony seems to be upping the quality of there first party games anyway-so I'm more than happy to have PS3 as my main console of choice.

Lowest common denominator development. Why not extend the logic, should all 3 next-gen consoles get every game, looking identical to the Wii version? Why not the PS2 and original Xbox? Then there's no complaining about having to buy a new console for a game. The problem is there are finite development resources, and every dollar spent on the port to a different console is one not spent maximizing the game's potential on one system. We'll see every EA game made not taking advantage of the SPEs on the PS3, and every PC port to the 360 not taking advantage of the triple-core (if your logic were followed). The result is watered-down games. I'd rather have games on the 360 be exclusive and maximized and have to buy a 360 to play them than to have no differences between the systems and my next-gen purchase be meaningless (or diluted).

EDIT=Creative Writer I suggest you become a Billionaire like Bill Gates then and give tons of Money to developers to make exclusive games...lol not gonna happen man. Companies have to get paid man...I'll just quote myself here

I see a lot of complaining about exclusives and every company going multiplatform-yet I don't see the evidence to support such a radical change from last generation. Is it GTA being released at the same time? Or Lost planet on 360?? 360 is the first console out which explains Capcom-and Sony just doesn' need to pay Rockstar for a 6month exclusive deal anymore since enough people know that GTA will be on Playstation. Some1 enlighten me plz..

The lowest common denominator ideal doesnt seem to fit here. Devs are already making statements of differences between cross-platform titles. Texture on the 360, shaders on the PS3 AI on the 360, animations on the PS3 etc.......

I was talking hypothetically. It does seem (so far) as though there are differences between the console versions of games, but there's not much *economic* motivation for developers to make the best game possible. We're relying on their love of making games. Do we want to trust EA with that? The best selling games may be multiplatform sports titles, but the best games seem to be exculsives. If you want good games, then, it seems to me exclusives are what to hope for, regardless of the platform they appear on.

This may be true, but it doesn't mean we should be happy about it. My point is that we should wish for exclusive games, regardless of whether that seems like a smart business move for the developers themselves.

I heard about the bad rep Just Cause received. Hopefully they succeed in the second one.

10-22-2006, 02:30 AM

I saw this game at a shop, along with Reservoir Dogs, and awhole bunch of GTA followers. seeing that I don't even get into GTA very much (extremely casual play throughs every few months) I don't really care for them.

heck, I am beginning to hate the whole 'open ended' tag line. I am worried that the next bunrout will be ruined by this approach...

keep in mind that this early in multiple system launches, things tend to be un stable and un clear. wait till at least a year after everyone has launched to begin to see what directions and decisions the industry wil take.

although I agree that the lowes common denominator won't fit the time overall. I don't see them making the Rev as the standard target when the other two are leaps and bounds ahead of it. maybe X2 will fill that role this time. and even then, it would be great since it has some great graphics ability. maybe the tweaks from there on for PS3 will be things like additional content, tilt control and the likes rather than upping graphics, animation, physics, sound or AI.
maybe they can get away with minor graphical touch ups like what we are seeing with PS3 launch games compared to their multipplatform brotherens on X2.

Um actually the multiplatform titles are looking better on the 360.

COD3
R6
Marvel Ult. Alliance (this one goes both ways)
etc...

The only titles that are "looking better" are the ones subject to additional dev. time over their 360 counterparts. But I agree that a year from now should paint a much better picture.

PS- At this point most of the reviews are split, there seems to be a situation where X journalist thinks this and Y journalist thinks that.

I'm not with you on COD3. http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/action/callofduty3/news.html?sid=6160207&mode=previews&tag=previews;title;1

But that multiplatform titles would look better on 360 compared to the PS3 feeds my argument. We know from first party PS3 games that the potential for superior graphics is there in cell/RSX, but devs will program for the lowest common denominator and use that code on the PS3 (using the PPE mostly), not taking advantage of the SPEs. I don't see how this is good for fans of games.

Nope Wounding is right, Watch these COD3 Trailers, One is PS3 and other is 360.

360

You will see the 360 Version does look slightly better.

That's an old PS3 trailer, guess you haven't seen the latest PS3 videos...

I, of course, don't have a total overview of multilplatform titles and how they compare to each other, but I sure have a read quite a lot where previewers has stated that a PS3 version seems slightly more polished. And anyone could probably find examples of the opposite.

But, most importantly, maybe all comparison should be postponed until they actually are available in retail - together with retail PS3 hardware. Comparing games still in development would probably not be fair to anyone - no matter who 'wins' that pissing contest.

I've heard the 360 version looks better somewhere before too Grove-It might just be everything up and running quicker on 360 tho-in one of the gametrailers's clips, a dev is saying something about the shadows on the PS3 version. I doubt they'll be any noticable differences between the versions besides the controller ones...

As far as I remember, some of the material in that trailer isn't exactly brand new. That wouldn't be the first time this happened for a game trailer. You could also look at the trailers I linked to, just to give yourself another view of the PS3 version.

Besides, the most important part of my previous answer was about NOT comparing games still in development. I don't know why, but you seem determined to declare one version as better than the other - even before it's done. That is the only issue I have. I couldn't care about COD3 for either platform.

I just watched this trailer again...

...it's actually quite good. Listen to the developer talking about the technology. It sounds like it will turn out to be a decent title.

Anyway, to get back on topic and away from this endless comparison of games between the Xbox 360 and PS3...

So, the general consensus is that the original Just Cause was pretty crappy? What the hell was it about anyway?

OK, here's the complete interview with Christofer Sundberg at Avalanche Studios.
http://www.kong.se/reportage/avalance-om-just-cause-uppfoljaren-och-framtiden/

They do not really reveal much information about Juste Cause 2. The main character will be the same, there will be more stunt tricks, the game will be set in a different environment, and the game will be available on PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. They will release more info in a couple of months.
