That looks to be shaping up as a good port. I might buy it again for PS3, I loved the 360 version so much.

Well, they probably took the 7 new maps for the 360 version, the 1 free map (redone Nowhere) and maps from the original GRAW and there's your 14 additional maps.  Let's just hope they finally get a port right for the cows out there.  GRAW/GRAW2 are 2 of my favorite 360 games after Gears.

huge 32 MP maps.



That isn't huge at all. PC has done 64+ for years and I thought PS3 > PC? Guess not.

Still finally some good news for PS3 owners with that many extras surely it'll get a high score too.

Who's bragging?  If it's a good port, we get to enjoy GRAW2 the way it is meant to be played.  If it's a bad port (like what Ubisoft did with FarCry for the Wii) then it will suck for PS3 users.  No one's bragging buddy.

screw that - dpad is only used for inventory switch in fps. take a look at any fps enthusiast site, all of them trash the dual shock / sixaxis. a perfectly symmetrical analog set-up isn't congruent with the way people approach and play video games, esp those in 3D environments. sixaxis sux for 3D gaming - period.

How can you use the d-pad as your reason for liking the ps3 controller for fps's over the 360 controller?

lol - no kidding. i mean he is right, the dpad is slightly better on the sixaxis, but THAT IS IT. the rest of the design just licks monkey coconuts.

Who uses the d pad in shooters for anything besides weapon selection? :?

But I gotta say I agree with the guy you quoted. I have never liked playing shooters on Sony consoles due to the analog stick placement.

ok maybe it can depend on the person because i have no problem whatsoever with the sixaxis.

see - im not alone, not by far. another thing that sucks with sixaxis that tons of people complain about is the stupid analog sticks that aren't bevelled... they're just stupid domes that your thumb can slip off, gimme a lip or something, or make em concave, anything other than the stupid rubber dome *rollseyes*

Additional features form Ubisoft you forgot to add. Unstable framerates, choppy graphics, and an online mode that will make you throw the Sixaxis at the T.V. Seriously, Ubi can't port games EVER!!! All they will do is add to the lemming's laughs at the PS3.

...well now you're exaggerating a wee bit, or your gamepad is broken. But still, I don't see how that really matters when it comes to FPS's. You don't use the d-pad for them

 

Don't get me wrong, I prefer the Dual Shock design aswell. But your reason is kind of silly.

consider the fact that he might be a shill -- someone pretending to be a fanboy for marketing. there are many here at system wars, by some estimates i've read there are at least 50-100 regular posters that shill for different companies. kinda sad when you think about it... esp to those that really like to come here. some of you are arguing against marketing people that don't ever know their product sometimes.

As long as there's no technical problems and if the graphics are at least on par then it'll be a good port. Graphics aren't everything you know. (lol I sound like a sheep XD)

That isn't huge at all. PC has done 64+ for years and I thought PS3 > PC? Guess not.

Still finally some good news for PS3 owners with that many extras surely it'll get a high score too.

are u thinking of 32 people? cuz he means 32 maps...32 multiplayer maps...haha not 32 people pal...JESUS

have you guys forgotten that ign interviewed the developers of SCDA for ps3 and they said ps3 was getting the "ultimate version" "more polished" along with the extra content, and we all know how that turned out...im sorry im gonna be skeptical until this game is out for ps3, ign has it listed as august 21st by the way and they are usually spot on with release dates.
