Words of wisdom from other boards across the net-NOT

[sabre2922]

OK for better or worse I have got to share these many words of wisdom :hail: that Ive found from other video gaming boards-mostly from Gamespot- for all the fellow DPers here to critic',flame,agree or otherwise die laughing at what is solid proof that IGNORANCE IS BLISS especially when it comes to videogames it seems ;)

the response from an all-knowing Jedi who shall remain nameless:

Not really, theoretical specs-wise the PS2 beats the DC to the ground. So let's try comparing theoretical DC specs to in-game PS2 specs, the maximum theoretical number of polygons the DC can push is 3 million polygons per second, the original Jak and Daxter was pushing 12 million polygons per second in game, and that's a first generation game.

DC's graphical capability has been over-glorified and over-exaggerated, frankly if someone is trying to claim the two are close, it might be a good idea to dig up the DC and actually LOOK at some of its games. There were never games that can truly come close to DMC1/3, God of War, ZOE2, Shadow of the Colossus, or RE4 PS2 for that matter, games like Shenmue and Soul Calibur 1 were simply not in the same league. Compare the best DC games to really mediocre PS2 games, and you might be able to claim that DC is somehow "close enough", when compared to the best PS2 games visually, the DC never really had a prayer.

:duh:

I wasn't aware the dreamcast even had that many games worth mentioning

No wonder the DC crashed and burned. There are maybe 5 playable games on that whole list. Fortunately those games were all ported.

A reader review of RE4 from Gamespot:

Its just not Resident Evil
Im sorry to write a negative review, but to me this game just isnt Resident Evil.

If you take the game of its own merits, then its very good. A great new camera angle, resposive controls, and a great aiming system. The graphics are almost life like, and you really do get a great atmosphere.

My major problem with Resi 4 is that its miles from the old Resi games i know and love. Now alot of you regard that as a good thing, but im afraid i dont. Remember Wesker? And the zombie that hid around the corner in the toilet? Or when that Hunter lept around the corner? All thats gone, now youl walk around and hear someone shout in spanish, only for some spanish guy in a beard to run toward you. You know its coming, and unfortunatly these guys stick around until the very end of the game. I dont want to give anything away, but at the end it does get slightly more Resident Evil-ish but i cant help but feel theyve given the game to a third party whos tried to recreate the series and failed. The arms dealer who sells and upgrades guns is actually very disapointing, theres not that many guns in the game after all.

One thing i loved about the games was that you were always moving forward to new areas. When the mansion got boring, caves. Then back into the mansion and on to a secret underground lab. Or on Resi 2 there was the station, the lab, the sewars, and dont forget resi 3 had the whole city. This though... you get the decrepid old musty village, the decrepid old musty castle, and the decrepid old musty island. Theres no broader scope either, at the start you meet some guy who runs the island, then you chase him until the end. There no "Wesker? it was you?!" moments, just you on an island. Rubbish!

The most important part of a resi game for me is the enemies. The Silent Hill series make much scarier games, so Resident Evil survived with its fantastic monster designs. Remember Mr. X from Resi 2? Or the Chimeras hanging from the ceiling on Resi 1? All of these are gone, and youll be shooting men in robes for the whole game. At the end, like i said it picks up, but its not enough in my books.

To summarise this game is amazing, and makes breakthroughs in graphics and gameplay, but i hold the original games dear to my heart and this game changes the formula a little to much. 6.0 out of 10
----------------------------------------------------------

All you shoot at through the whole game is men in robes? ummmmmm YEAH RIGHT LOL

gotta luv this one
