Speaking of Crackdown and GTA4, what other games have day/night cycles? I've got Far Cry 2, Red Faction: Guerrilla, The Godfather 2, Burnout Paradise... any more? We can factor in PC too as well, I'm not fussy. And HD game will do. Saints Row 2 perhaps?

I tried InFamous. It doesn't have one.

I want to create the time-lapse video to end them all.

Soul Blade

MLB 2K7 Fable 2 does as well.

mm... there are a few cliff areas overlooking the ocean that look pretty nice with the haze.

 

[grandmaster]

Excellent! Keep them coming!

 

[Iron Tiger]

Not sure about Midnight Club LA, but Midnight Club 2 had a day/night cycle.

 

[TheD]

Oblivion also has one.

 

[Sigfried1977]

Hakuna Matata aka Afrika, Two Worlds, Oblivion, Dead Rising and Kameo have day-night-cycles as well.

Fallout 3? I don't remember if Mercs 2 does.

Thanks guys.

On another topic, I think I'm going to be able to get some me-time with Natal at gamescom. Any questions or tests you'd think pertinent: let me know.

Ask how many simultanous players Natal will support: 1, 2, 4, 6, 8?

I guess there must be an upper limit that depends on how many limbs and joints that can be tracked, and how wide angle the camera will cover.

Operation flashpoint will have a day and night time cycle...

 

[grandmaster]

Thanks for all the suggestions. I will be posting a Fallout 3 timelapse video tomorrow, captured from PC at 1080p, with all the LODs set at stupidly high levels. Surprised how playable the game actually was. I will be including an h264 1080p30 download link for playing the video at "full fat" on an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3.

Pleased with the way it turned out, but I think I'll be doing a GTA IV PC one next, as the videos are more interesting with people/cars moving about at super-high speed (a la Crackdown). Either that, or a Crysis one which should be spectacular simply by virtue of it being Crysis.

hi grandmaster, since last gen was pretty much over, could you guys do a tech round up for all the consoles and possibly the DC too. Maybe throws in some games examples to show the strength of each system.

 

[Nesh]

That would have been awesome

Halo3 photo mode is 8064x4480 not 8960x5040

 

[grandmaster]

Thanks Quaz... a lot of what we discuss is entirely down to your posts, so a big "thanks" from us, and I suspect, all of us on B3D!

Hi grandmaster!
do you still plan investigate a Capcom engine bug(tearing) on xbox 360?
Im curious if Capcom still doesn know about this problem ?
That why I can not use xbox scaler on my 32 philips LCD

A feature request for grandmaster.

It would be really cool if you could do an analysis of FIFA vs PES when this year's editions are out. Also, MLB 09 should be a really good technical showcase (1920X1080, 60fps) for the PS3, but the content might not be that interesting for your readers.

Anyway, please keep up the great work!

 

[grandmaster]

A quick update - first of all, the Fallout 3 timelapse video is one of the most popular videos hosted at Eurogamer for quite some time. So yup, definitely more timelapse vids in the offing.

Secondly, I hope to be getting PS3 Slim this week. Aside from the usual power consumption stats, please let me know if there are any questions or requests for the feature.

I don't suppose you'd be willing to take it apart.
