Oh well opinions and all that. I guess if you're sensitive to frame-rate 60fps would matter; I struggle to notice the difference. (In fact I wonder why I bought my new HDTV when my Elite and PS3 don't look that different!). To be honest I'd rather have some eye-candy over 60fps. Especially in a FPS.

I'd take HD over 600p though
How about some more Killzone (LittleBigPlanet inspired...or visa versa)

That game looks so wonderful! But then I guess we knew that by now. Still, it's looking even better.
I prefer 60 fps any time.
Everytime I start playing COD4 after playing any other game, I go "wow, this runs fantasticly smoothly. I wish all games would run like this".
I didn't indend to start a FPS debate, what i meant was that the KZ2 gameplay video i quoted, didn't imo look all that amazing compared what CoD4 looks like (im not saying CoD4 looks better, im saying they look fairly close), aspecially considering CoD4 runs at double the framerate. It looked nice and all, but i didn't really get wowed by it.
Maybe that particular gameplay video was rather bad to use as a showcase for KZ2 graphics, but i expected more. Aspecially considering that KZ2 is a very high budget exclusive title, wheras CoD4 on the PS3 is a port\multiplatform title.
locked framerate is what I like.

But but..
The only other two *very* high budget titles I can think of are what..?
GTAIV & Halo 3..?
Not sure how many of them look as good as KZ2 (even in this trailer)..
Reliability of a game console is not the primary concern for a buyer, at least it shouldn't be; particularly when there's a 3-year guarantee.
I understand that RROD is a problem, it'd probably annoy me too. But it can't be important, looking at how the 360 bludgeons the PS3 in the US.

It generally isn't a concern for buyers considering the notion most will probably have at sale of "well I've heard it's an issue but i'm sure it won't happen for me.."
At least that's what I thought when I got mine initially.. Not so much after it bricked only 3 months later..
Ironically I still don't regret my purchase decision at the time..

KILLZone2 Looks AWESOME ! hey have captured the mood I was hoping for ! I am Loving it !
No matter it's or not a rational attitude, I think this has hurt MS badly here (at least in France), It's bring in every discussion by MS haters or Sony lovers.
Maybe the problem is more relevant to Europe are we always have for this kind of product a two a two years garantee.
What hurts MS the most in Europe is lack of mindshare
Boss running around alert will complete post later.

Another COD4 vs Killzone 2 debate just like the older thread
This has been discussed before and we all know after we got our hands on COD4 that apart from being 60fps everything else in the game is pretty much standard. Nothing that hasnt been done before, nothing technically mindblowing whatsoever.
Killzone 2, based on these videos boasts more moving objects on screen, more detailed models and probably more detailed environments. The AI animation is also untouched by COD4. Not to mention the lighting and shadows
Yeah, sorry - I didn't think that was your intention. Hence my "opinions" comment.
That other 60fps stuff was just an aside.
Cheers.
And Nesh, Ostepop just said he didn't want to start a FPS debate!
That was based on carefully edited COD4 trailers. When normal gameplay footage begun to emerge this impression started to disappear.

But a comparison was mentioned, and it was part of his argument. You cant reply without talking about it
It is a mater of oppinion and aesthetics also. I never found COD4 to be as impressive as Halo 3 for example. I could never understand why everyone found it so good looking...
But remember that KZ2 isnt out yet either. Though CoD4 has nothing against KZ2 regarding shadows, animations (though not far off in some cases) and to a certain point lighting (CoD4 was very inconsistent in the lighting department IMO).
Though I dont agree on the amount of stuff happening, there are levels in CoD4 with lots of rocket trails, tracers, units moving etc. Otherwise I mean a couple of trails on the sky, random explosions and limited amount of soldiers and lots of background looping combat sounds isnt that much to begin with (or am I living in the wrong gen?).
