Did we get ripped off?

Re: Did we get ripped off?

i would not be surprised to see the console version look alot worse than the pc version... it happens everytime with console games anyway

but it would be good to see alot of ppl leaving for the console version, alot less kids around BF2 for sure.

Well, EA can adjust the game to the XBOX 360 system. and use it to the max. but EA had to downgrade the game because not everybody is rich enough to buy a highendpc.

Actually that is the in-game screenshots watch the video they look alot better on the 360... All I'm saying is to make for this loss EA should add HDR (High Dynamtic Range Lighting) to BF2 for the pc as an option. In one of the videos its raining, and you can see the rain it looks excellent.. the fact you can be in a 3rd person view of your vehicle and still had a cross hair is also very nice... They did alot more with the console version then they ever did with the pc version nuff said.

Re: Did we get ripped off?

it doesnt matter if it looks a little better. and maybe EA did spend a little more time on the console version, it is a bigger market after all. but we have 1 thing those console kids will never have.

Mods.



We win.

Re: Did we get ripped off?

Not by the looks of it some say mods will come to the xbox 360 and PS3 as well.. I had seen a article on Mod Support... So we win? Whose to say these mods coming will even be played due to the lack of ranked server support? I can't tell you the countless number of times I seen people doing some crazy stuff to earn a higher score in a ranked server or was worrying about their stats.. I sure hope the mod support is good, I will most certainly be playing PoE and Forgotten Hope as I was a fan of both mods, and they are the ones showing the most promising updates especially PoE....

Re: Did we get ripped off?

YES! Someone actually mentioned mods.

The xbox 360 can support mods, but the thing with that is that game publishers will almost definitely only put official "mods" onto the xbox live downloady service, because it won't be like file<suffix> where anyone can upload whatever they want. Also, mod teams wouldn't waste their time having to redo the coding and whatever all else just so that some console kiddies can play it... and do console kiddies even know what a mod is? I doubt it.

All modern combat has going for it is single player, and that's just for the console kidlets because that's what they buy into.

Re: Did we get ripped off?

I have seen screns of the 360 version and believe me it doesn't look nice, it looks like crap all the way, texture are like piles of s hit , no good aa , etc....

Re: Did we get ripped off?

Even BF2 for PC in it's early pics. renders, and art work didn't look like the finished products we have now.. I also agree I hate aiming with a controller.

Re: Did we get ripped off?

HDR my ass... I'd rather NOT have that kind of cheap blurry "bloom" effect on my BF2. Also the 360 BF doesn't have anything to do with PC BF2. It just has the same name. I guess you can make any ugly game look "cool" to kids just by adding the magic word "HDR" into everything :p

Re: Did we get ripped off?

Well HDR does look nice and I am not a kid infact I am 26. I think the option should be there... I liked it some games, others it looked like crap. BF2 is one of those games that it may actually help a bit.

Re: Did we get ripped off?

the xbox is lower definition than a PC though anyway because the highest spec widscreen 32" LCd televisions display 1366x766 widescreen resolution which is HDTV but thats not nearly as much resolution per inch as you get on a PC monitor.

I don't think it's HDR..just a cheaper bloom stuff.

Re: Did we get ripped off?

I dont know what your smoking, but those are not ingame screens. Take a look at the trailers, they look like **** compared to BF2.

Re: Did we get ripped off?

Its not really fair to compare pc games and console games.

Devs for pc games need to take into account a huge variety of hardware.

Devs for console games only have one set of hardware with a set performance, they can push every bit of that hardware to the max.
