It's not ruining the fun for "everybody", it's just ruining the fun for you. I'm still not quite sure why you were so deeply offended when I suggested that a game was better than another game, but sure, feel free to leave the thread rather that think of a good response to this, thus making the last ten minutes of my life a waste of time.
Want to debate ? Fine, we'll debate.
You're not making sense.
You asked me if I thought Jak 4 should be "broken down" because it "doesn't have next gen, super realistic graphics".
I replied by telling you that I did not think this. That is all.
You're not understanding my posts. What i am trying to ask you, is why, judging by trailers, Jak 4 is so deeply inferior to Uncharted 2.
But let's drop this one. Since i don't want a discussion of Jak 4 vs. Uncharted 2, since this is simply a topic that is based of arguments.
I didn't know that the development of Jak 4 was being outsourced to an inferior studio because Naughty Dog were too busy working on Uncharted 2 (though this explains why you were so touchy about it...)
You do know that High Impact Games is known ( well, at least i read that ) to be one of the best studios when it comes to PSP games, right ?
Although i don't have enough time reading all those game reviews from the games of the two studio's, so i can't judge really well here, i'm quite sure High Impact Games won't do a bad job here.
And, in one of the links i posted earlier, the blogpost, the one who played the game was actually quite positive about it. So i don't think it will be that a bad game.
So High Impact Games will learn from the mistakes they made on Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters and Secret Agent Clank, and Naughty Dog will learn from the mistakes they made on Keef the Thief, Rings of Power, Way of the Warrior, Crash Bandicoot, Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back, Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped, Crash Team Racing, Jak & Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, Jak II, Jak 3, Jak X: Combat Racing, and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune.
Judging by this, do you really think it's reasonable to assume that Jak 4 will be better than Uncharted 2?
I said that a smart / good developer would do so. I didn't say it is always like that in practice.
I must say, Naughty Dog learned from their faults from Jak 2 in Jak 3. For example, the secrets, in Jak 2 this was pretty confusing, in Jak 3 it was a straightforward secret shop.
And i am not even trying to say that Jak 4 will be better then Uncharted 2. And i already said why in this post.
Bullshit. EVERYTHING in a game is totally dependent on the hardware. The graphics, the sound quality, the art direction, the physics, the engine, the number of freaking buttons on the controller, the number of characters on-screen at once, the number of FMV sequences, the various peripherals available for the system...
You just don't get it do you ? You judge the quality of the game, with the capabilities of the hardware in mind. The game needs to utilize everything the hardware has to offer. Jak 4 is utilizing the PS2's capabilities great.
If someone saying that one unreleased game is better than another unreleased game actually put you in a bad mood, then maybe you need to stop taking this whole internet business so seriously.
Read my first posts will you ? And even on the internet, you're talking with people most of the time you know.
The PlayStation Wand is an improved rip-off of the Wii's controller, and Natal is an improved rip-off of the PS2's EyeToy and the PS3's PlayStation Eye.
I think that these so-called "innovations" are a load of shit, but I'm not troubled as long as I don't have to deal with them on my own console (this is irrelevant; I'm not quite sure why you brought it up).
Because these are the innovations of the current generation of consoles. Go against it, but then you're actually proving me right. I quote you :
You seem to be under the impression that the only difference between last- and current-gen games is the graphics. You are so wrong.
And Jak 4 being on a "console you can afford" doesn't make it better than Uncharted 2. The opposite, if anything.
Actually, it does, because Uncharted 2 is on a console i can't afford, i can't actually play the game, thus making Jak 4 better for
ME
It means that they would make the graphics better, but not that they would make them more realistic to the point that they would be detrimental to the experience of the game which is obviously set in a more cartoon-ish world.
I ask you,
HOW SHOULD THEY IMPROVE THE GRAPHICS ? I'M ASKING YOU THIS WHOLE TIME, IF IT SHOULDN'T BE MORE REALISTIC, THEN
HOW SHOULD IT BE BETTER ?
Let's be honest, when referring to " good graphics " we most of the time refer to realistic graphics. All right, in the good old days, you could say, more colors, and things like that. But now, with 32 bit colors at high definition, it's mostly reffering to realism.
Your last two posts were full of unprovoked rage, that's all.
Actually, my last two posts where made since we where debating. Now i'm not mad, i'm just debating that fans of other series shouldn't ruin the fun for fans of a series.
If I "found the need" to "bring down the fun" of your new Jak game, then I would have said it was terrible and pointed out things that were wrong with it or something. I didn't. All I said was that I thought Uncharted 2 was a better game.
You and Rayman4321 already broke down Jak 4, and without any good reason too. You should think about how other people will feel about your posts, and not only how you feel about them.
It's not ruining the fun for "everybody", it's just ruining the fun for you. I'm still not quite sure why you were so deeply offended when I suggested that a game was better than another game, but sure, feel free to leave the thread rather that think of a good response to this, thus making the last ten minutes of my life a waste of time.
I'm not offended. It just boils my piss that some people really always need to push their favorite series to the foreground, and ruin the fun for fans of other series.
