Gamespt:Overlord in developmnt 1 yr longer on PS3, still inferior to 360 version

http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/action/overlord/review.html

Highlights:

Inconsistent frame rate.

the visuals approach something nearing a slide-show performance

Split-screen multiplayer on the PS3 is at times almost unplayable as a result of the poor frame rate

Overlord for the PS3 is a frustrating experience

you could pick up the technically superior Xbox 360 version

as some devs have been saying...porting from the 360 to the PS3 seems to be a real hassle but the other way round doesent seem to be too much of a bother. overlord was built as a 360 game.

still that only really effects games being released on both platforms at the same time. im surprised that after a year of porting..they still couldnt sort it out on the PS3. bethesda did a great job of porting oblivion from a 360/PC code base to the PS3 from what i hear...and they spent a year at that also.

Was Overlord hyped big?

I played it on my 360 and i thought it was mediocre at best....

Stop spamming.

Looks like they didn't do a very good job progamming for the Cell.

Those are all CPU based problems i think.

THe very first paragraph of the GS review says that these were problems in the original game that should have been fixed by now but weren't. THey also say that because the game is old, the visuals look dated and old.

360 reviews were pretty low too. The premise still sounded interesting to me in the Play magazine review though.

That was based on IGNs review. This is Gamespots. Learn to read.

Stop crybabying/tattletelling.

Not trying to troll but the same thing could be said about Supreme Commander on the 360Evz0rz

Zing. Glad I bought a cheaper used copy at least. Don't want to try to reward devs putting out that kind of halfhearted effort.

Those stupid devs can't understand how to work with the greatness that is PS3.MacaroniMoses

LOL! :lol: It's just another case of Copystation getting 360 leavings.

Is this what lemmings post when their 360 is in the shop, comparing a bad turd to a really bad turd? I guess they can take any points they can get.

Sucks, I was going to wait to pick this game up for PS3 hoping they would fix it. Looks like I'll take the crappy yet superior 360 version for $14.99 :(

The best part is, that they are charging $59.99 again for the PS3 version.

it's a port isnt it? overlord sucks anyway
