How do EGM review? 3 people give scores then they average it for sites like metacritic and gamerankings?

Or is a single score taken?

1up gave Motorstorm 7.5 to, sadly. Still getting it :D

7.5 isn't a bad score, though I suppose from 1up that is sorta low. I'm getting it too.

And yeah they write three reviews, and I would imagine sites like metacritic use all three. I don't really like their reviews much, outside of a large release they're usually pretty small and untelling..sorta like 1up's.

Wow, VT3 and AC4 got really low scores. Can't wait for Motorstorm, looks good. Great to see GoW2 doing so well. Must have!

Is it wrong for me to think that God of War is quite possibly the best looking game ever made? :)

I even think it looks better than Crysis :o I know technically God of War isn't on the same level, but even so I consider it far more impressive for a developer to achieve what they've managed to on the ps2 than what Crytek is achieving with those beefed up rigs.

Yup, strange and wrong. It may be the most beautiful PS2 game ever made though. Even that is open to interpretation. I do see where you are coming from--it's more impressive as a PS2 game than perhaps your average current gen game is on newer hardware--but it's still a PS2 game and there are certainly better looking games.

I think it's the impressive Art Direction that makes us think so and to be honest God of War has really pushed the PS2 like no other game has done except perhaps for Final Fantasy Xii which is mind blowing as well.

I wholeheartedly agree. I'm playing Secret Rings now, and there's this level called Levitated Ruin.. and it's just so damn beautiful I just can't help but.. feel that I've somehow lost a bit of respect for HD. Sharpness is fun, but there's something about this way of... sort of capturing your *overall visual attention* and just painting this awesome visual experience on the whole that.. just wins for me.

The feeling of being overwhelmed is a matter of balance.. it's a matter of balancing expectations and setting up "combos" of visuals.. creating contrast to catch you off guard. If this exact game had been running on PS3, would we feel as blown away? Truthfully? I don't think we would.

So why is that? And even more importantly; is that a good or a bad thing?

If this game on this platform gives us genuine feelings of amazement, then surely the fact that the same exact experience on better hardware is inferior to that is a horrible, horrible truth. I wonder sometimes what the right balance is in regards to this fact, and I wonder if tech advances in terms of graphics is naturally a good thing.

I firmly believe limit in tech is a real catalyst here, and I think it's an interesting thing to ponder what that means. For us - for games and the feelings they give us.

Quoi de neuf ?
  • reneyvane

    reneyvane Quelqu'un qui achète beaucoup de jeux PS5 par an et à confiance dans de grandes licences, le lecteur BR est vite amortit. J'ai payé Saros 62e Fdpin alors que je ne dépasse rarement 50/55e Fdpin. (il y a 23 minutes)

  • reneyvane

    reneyvane C'est pas le même budget pour les mêmes jeux sur un an, de tout acheter sur le PSN voir en plus un peu après la sortie et tout acheter en physique+précommande. (il y a 29 minutes)

  • GTB

    GTB @Driftwood: Ah mais pour moi un Saros vaut le même prix qu'un RE9. Je vois pas ce que l'approche rogue change à ça. (il y a 45 minutes)

  • Driftwood

    Driftwood c'est surtout l'absence de démo pour tous qui est incompréhensible. Saros est moins niche que l'était Returnal, et Saros est une production plus ambitieuse que Hades et ne peut pas être vendu 25€. (il y a 1 Heure)

  • Driftwood

    Driftwood @GTB: bien sûr que je préférerais que les jeux soient moins chers, mais j'ai largement dépassé le temps de jeu fait sur Requiem dans Saros et pour moi, il ne vaut pas moins. (il y a 1 Heure)

  • GTB

    GTB ...un positionnement tarif un peu plus doux, plus incitatif à se laisser tenter. 80€, pas de démo, ceux qui doutent sauteront moins facilement le pas. (il y a 2 Heures)

  • GTB

    GTB @Driftwood: Oui, plus que le genre, c'est surtout le 80€ qui restent une somme. Peu importe le genre. Pour rejoindre Black, je pense que Sony aurait pu faire comme Capcom avec Pragmata... (il y a 2 Heures)
