To: Capcom

We (The people that have signed this petition) feel very left out in your decision to make Devil May Cry 4 a Multi-Platform title, and hereby agree to boycott your sale of Capcom affiliated games. This is due to your decision to turn your back on your most faithful gaming company. For years we have enjoyed games, we have reaped the benefits of your committment to Sony. We find it absolutely demoralizing for not only the gamers, but also Sony itself. We want you to know that will not, and should not stand for your actions, and therefore withold our option of buying your product.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

You have got to be shitting me. How do you feel left out from a title if it goes mutliplatform? If anything, shouldn't it be inclusion of others in the game? Capcom turned it's back on it's most faithful gaming company? What? Isn't DMC4 still a PS3 game? How the hell is it also demoralizing? Exactly what morals are in question here? The last sentence just doesn't make any sense at all, grammatically, so I assume that it's supposed to read We want you to know that we will not stand for your actions, and therefore, will not buy your products. Somewhat contradictory isn't it? We won't stand for it, so we'll do nothing.

I dunno, I thought it was a joke, but there's about 3000 "digital signatures" (well half of them are jokes). But yeah, I found that somewhat amusing.

Anyways, I heard in the UK that Sony gave out free 46" HDTVs to PS3 customers at launch. Lucky bastards. I would have bought the PS3 just for the TV itself at $800 US after currency conversion.

I was speaking idiomatically.

wow, that is probably the most useless thing I've ever seen.
I mean even if somebody signed that, they're still probably end up playing it anyway.

How ya doing, buddy?

The petition is really stupid and poorly thought out and put together.

I feel a bit of shock of such an announcement, but I don't really care. The only thing that should matter to people if they have a 360 is that they're getting a great game coming to their system even if DMC4 does come out around the same time as Halo 3 and most 360 owners won't notice the game and still miss out on it. And PS3 owners shouldn't even care. Perhaps at launch if the 360 version falls into the port nich'e a bit of supremecy of having the source copy, but really shut up... they're just acting like a bunch of rampent fanboys.

FELIPE NO

Ahahaha "WE WON'T PLAY A GAME THAT ISN'T SPECIFIC TO SONY PRODUCTS."

How fucking lame, man. It's not like they even have to MAKE the game in the first place.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Yeah, guess that means that they're going to have to miss out on;
-Assasin's Creed
-DMC4
-Oblivion
-All Tom Clancey games
-Unreal Tournament 2007
etc...

Hahaha... dumb bastards

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I don't understand why people like console Oblivion. It's so much better for PC. The only thing I could see being the reason is that they have a shitty computer or just suck in general. Oblivion for PS3, big whoop. =/

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Do you play it on a PC? I have a 2.6GHz, ATI 9800Pro, 2GB DDR RAM, and a Soundblaster Audigy 2 (something, something) and I can't even get it to look as good as the 360 version, nevermind the PS3 one and STILL have it running good. Most people have around the same specs as what I have it seems hence why so many people have a console version whether it be 360 or PS3. Also maybe a lot more people do play Oblivion on the PC then on a console, I don't know.

Most amazing jew boots

I think the real benefit to playing it on the PC is all the user created content. I think I messed around with that a lot more than I did the actual story line. I also had it looking very very nice on my PC. Then again I did play 3k for this thing.

Oh that's easy for you to say when you have a batshit insane computer.

The 360 version has slowdown too, but for the price of a PS3, $600US could probably upgrade any current computer into oblivion. (hi pun)

I was speaking idiomatically.

Slayer, the reason Oblivion does not run well on your computer is mainly your 9800 PRO. That graphics card it waaaay outdated for that game. It's two generations behind what the game was developed for. Newer games also fare better with at least an athlon 64 or maybe a dual core processor. But I bet yor biggest bottleneck is with your gfx card.

If I ran Oblivion on my Nvidia7800GT it would probably run at a 720P equivilent resolution and look and run at least near if not better than the console counterparts.

Most amazing jew boots

I used to run Oblivion fine on a 7800GT like garth and I only ever had trouble with areas that had fucktons of grass. I just turn grass off and the game would run perfectly at 1920x1200 resolution. I have 2GB of ram and an AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ Dual Core Processor. I upgraded to Vista Ultimate recently and an 8800GTX and now Oblivion is like wut?

FELIPE NO

oh jesus!! isn't 1920x1200 a bit overkill on a computer monitor?!?!?!?!?! I run 1440x900 which is close to 720p. I did not mean 1080p!!!!!

you can certainly run it on 1440x900 with grass on my rig and it will run fine.

That is on a 19" widescreen LCD. Don't know what monitor you run on Acer

If you think about what the PS3 runs the game on, multi-core processor and a 7800 based gfx card you can figure that 9800 pro would be pretty obsolete on a computer running this game, wow, I didn't even think a 9800 pro would run BF2. Never thought anyone would attempt it with Oblivion.

1280x720 is 720p. You're doing it wrong. Additionally, though, 1080p on a monitor is 1920x1080, so Acer could probably run it in 1080i. Although, I wouldn't imagine something like a 15-21" monitor running 1080p Oblivion to be superior to, say, a 28-40" HDTV on 1080i. (See what I did there? A high end computer and high quality monitor would be roughly around the same price as a relatively large HDTV with 1080i.)

I haven't really dealt with 1080p, so I can't comment on if it's significantly better. From what I've heard of it, it's extremely bandwidth consuming.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

no, I mean 1440 is close to 720 p although it is a higher res, it is a comparable widescreen res. Acer was running it in 1080p

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Uh, what? Having a memory buffer to deinterlace a 1080i signal would eat up just as much processing power* as running at 1080p, seeing as how 1080i sources need to have twice the frame rate to be deinterlaced on a progressive display such as a computer monitor.

Not only that, but considering the distance one is sitting from their PC monitor most of the time, the comparison with display sizes is moot. Optimum viewing angles and distances start coming into play when you compare shit like that.

* Well, almost. But for the purposes of this comparison it's roughly the same thing.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

A geforce 7800 gtx handles 1920x1200 just fine. My monitor is a 24 inch Dell. It's one of their first models but it's still very good. Perhaps in a few years I might get another bigger monitor with HDCP compliancey and such. Who knows they might even have OLEDs rampaging the market by then. But yeah I like me some very nice widescreen. =)

Everybody stop and rewind for a second. Where the hell did all of the hype for Motorstorm go. I haven't been home in about three months to try out anything with my PS3, so I haven't gotten a chance to really go out and purchase it. I would have expected everybody to be talking about it, but nobody has really said anything. I heard it is severely lacking in single play features, but online is a blast. Does anybody have this game? Is it worth a purchase?

I was speaking idiomatically.

motorstorm is good but the lack of content just make it more like a demo than a full game. there,s only 8 track (but all 8 are good) and only 2 mode, which is solo offline play and online play, so no offline multiplayer...

but graphically the game is amazing, very beautiful.

I guess it's the lack of content in the game that make people a little disappointed in the game, but I heard they are working on some new mode and new track or something that they will release on the playstation store... so wait and see

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

That's right. There's supposed to be a Time Trial mode + another(maybe) as well as new tracks. How many remain unknown.

FELIPE NO

I still use the PS3 for my PS2 games, but I'm glad I played things safe and kept my PS2 around for PS1 games and Guitar Hero. Too bad others didn't come to think along the same lines for thoes who still plan on playing a lot of PS1 games and Guitar Hero (and the few glitchy PS2 games). Hind sight 20/20 I suppose, wait and pick up a PS2 for like $20 in a year for you guys I suppose.

Yea I might have to buy another PS2, my previous one broke so thats why I couldn't keep my last one. I just hope when I get a PS2 it wont die out on me, but I rather have Sony fix the backwards compatibility on the PS3.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Same here but the BC of the PS3 really isn't all that bad. Unless your're playing it on a 60" HDTV right next to a PS2 playing the same game on a SDTV, you can't really notice the difference. Even IGN did a comparison with like FFXII and GoW2 and said that the games (especially PS1 games) are going to basically look like shit on an HDTV anyway, so the difference between the PS3 and a PS2 playing the same game really isn't all that different on an SDTV. I've been playing all my games except GH2 on my PS3 simply because stuff loads a good amount faster and the graphical issues of GoW2 are greatly reduced over that of the PS2. It's really not that bad on the PS3 now, unless you have the Euro model that is of course.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'll buy pal version:

-is also ps3 pal have free reign games ps3?
-what last FW have when I'll get it?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

All PS3s have the ability to be region free for that's a feature of Blu-Ray, not the system. The only thing is that it's up to developers to make that choice, and none have yet.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Just picked up Motorstorm. Online = awesome, even though I have yet to win a single race. That game desperatly needs more features, though . Here's hoping for a massive update at some point.

I also read that the latest Official Xbox Magazine confirms that Ace Combat 6 is only a timed exclusive. Hopefully we'll see some AC lovin' on the PS3, then.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Here's a little something about Motorstorm: whatever you do, do NOT buy the japanese version of the game. It does NOT have online mode at all. I made this mistake thinking it would be the same....

....guess I should've realized something was up when the Japanese version came out a couple of months before the US release....



How ya doing, buddy?
