"funny" thing is that even the topic title " Amazing new GOW vid" is trolling. With titles like that you are already disrupting the discussion before it even starts..

what?
 
-it would be stoopid to handle collision from the rain drops.If you want perceptive feed back ,you put an other particle emiter for the splashes.

-the animated wet shader (tree ,walls) is cool.It's the shader Mark Reins says he love the more when he make its UE3 live demo,in the shader gallery .
Not i bigdeal.but cool ,nice and efficient.Does its job perfectly.

Well well... so you make complaints agains MGS4 while making no complaints against GOW. :rolleyes:

Not at all. If you read my comments on the MGS4 thread they were extremely positive. I was simply pointing out the complete HYPOCRISY in your posting.

If you applied the same "standards" to the MGS4 video as you did to GOW then you would've had a good half-page of problems with the MGS4 trailer. You have one set of standards for X360 games, and another for PS3 games, and that's the problem.

I realize One has been a great contributing member to the forum, but sometimes you have to call a spade a spade. Your criticism clearly seem to fall along console lines, with X360 games getting picked apart (by my count 3/4 times you were just plain misinformed/wrong) and PS3 games getting a free pass.
 
The troll witch hunt is getting worse i see.

It would be nice to talk about the criticism the game is getting instead to limit yourselves to calling people trolls or hypocrites.

There was a lot of criticism about MGS4, a lot more than for GOW, i don't see why you people have to get so bloody defensive all the time.
 
Because there's an awful lot of people who post nothing but negative comments in all the X360 threads.

Granted it goes both ways, but it seems the majority of posters in the X360 threads are just doing nothing but looking for problems to complain about.

Why so defensive? Cause it's freakin annoying! You don't see XBOX fans infesting the PS3 threads like this..over..and over...and over.

The topic starter tries to influence "my" opinion on the GOW vid and therefore effectively "corrupts" a healty discussion. For further reference I also sugggest reading your replies to our member one (wo doesnt thing the vid is completely amazing)

k..now let the discussion continue.
 
I'd say everybody should just accept the critisism directed to their favorite console, even if the poster only has negative poits to say in his/her post.

Usually in these "Wow gameXXX for consoleXXX looks wickked cool shiit!!" the positive things are already said in the first few posts, is there really point in repeating the same "OMG this looks AWESOME!!!" in every third post.
True, the threads turn as quickly into repeating the negative points, but everybody has their personal bias, whether it's for the console or just that particular game in general.
But the good points are usually more ovious and quickly noticed by everyone that has interest, while the negatives are often easier missed in the hype and excitement or just plain "swept under the carpet"
For example, I am a fan of Metal Gear Solid, so it's natural to me post more positive things in the MGS4 thread than it is in Gears Of War thread, which I can not be a fan of as the game remains unproven apart from screenshots and videos, and probably will remain to me, as I plan to buy only one next gen console.

Personally, I find it more annoying when the thread starts with just some uncritical praise, sounding like some bad PR, than the pointing ot flaws that unavoidedly follow.
Maybe if people actually read the threads before posting, so there would be less same things repeated over and over, which son starts to look like trolling.

Scooby, you're saying this thread is for Xbox fans only? Well, foo, someone should've marked it. Dumb OP, next time make a point! "Xbox fans only".

B) I'd have to agree with one on this. The rain looks really bad, way way too "thick". Not at all natural, but the running water affects on the walls and ground are very nice. Problem is they don't match up with the rain all that much, the amount of rain we're seeing isn't enough to 'cause that much running water. Also, how come the player model doesn't get wet? If they were able to put the shaders on the walls and ground, why couldn't they do it on the car and the character? As far as I'm aware, it's a trivial amount of work in UE3.0, almost literally a flip of a switch.

Yes you do. It goes both ways. The best way has always been to either ignore them or answer to the criticism in a mature way.
Calling people trolls and complaining about "they only has bad things to say about one company and not the other" (Which in this case is completely out of the question, since one is one of the best posters around here and contributes a lot to the forum, and is definately not a troll) will never yield any results.

What!? I have a life so obviously I can't write up extensive reviews for all games on these forums as I can't type as fast as Acert93... If you want me review every game pay me and I'll be ready :LOL:

Please give me examples and enlighten me what's misinformed/wrong about them.
 
OT: It's impossible to post a criticism without either putting a disclaimer or being called a troll it seems. It's also impossible to show a preference towards one console without having people attack the poster.

Back on topic: The game certainly looks impressive. I thought the lightning really added to the atmosphere. I think the game certainly does some things well but it's not my favorite looking game on the 360 (Kameo probably is), and I like the way HL2 looks slightly better. I definately think they improved on the game though and it looks more than good enough to launch as it currently is.
