with all the cameos that spiderman made during sony's E3 conference i thought that sony may have struck an exclusive agreement with activision.  obviously my assumptions were false.  oh and if anyone cares, CoD2 is apparently headed to the ps3 as well  

QUOTE

In what should come as a shock to absolutely no one, Spiderman is heading to the PS3 and Xbox360. Not to mention the fact that Call Of Duty is headed to the Playstation 3 as well. Nothing like capitalizing on multi-platform. The news comes from job listing looking for programmers and game workers to work on new Spiderman and Call Of Duty 2 titles for Xbox360 and Playstation 3.

What call of duty 2 is going to the ps3, what the hell. I thought it was an exclusive to the 360 and pc. Oh comeon.

That's what I thought too. "OMFG!1!!! CAlL 0f DUT@!y foR PS3  i$ beTEr than tEH 360 V3rsion AnD iT TEH SUXORS".

When DOA2 came out on the PS2 it was actually inferior to the DC version! Yet all the PS2 fanboys were saying how obvious it was that it was more impressive than the DC version just cos' it was on PS2. NICE JAGGIES!!

Still makes me laugh now.

I feel so bad for the Sony Fanboys...

So Misguided. Sheep without a Shepard.

There is nothing wrong with ps3, we all know it will be a great system. As for COD2 coming to ps3, I would guess that is a typo of sorts. PS3 is set to come out in a little less then a year from now. By that time, Call of Duty 3 will be coming out, and will be on PS3, 360, and Revolution

Ofcourse the ps3 version of COd 2 will look better. The ps3 has equal if not greater hardware potential and the game is coming out later for that console.
On the spiderman issue, should be good I enjoyed swining about on spiderman 1 and 2.

unless they do a lot of reworking on the graphics engine for the ps3 that isnt going to happen.  if anything they will probably run at a slightly higher resolution (1080i?) and thats about it.  the game is maxed out on the 360 and there really isnt anything more you could do to improve besides upping the rez. or the framerate.  if anything i imagine it will be more bug-free and have better more refined online options, that is all.  the fact of the ps3 having "greater" hardware potential has still yet to be proven, as many developers will tell you otherwise.  real world  performance is always different then what the specs say on paper

im curious to see how spiderman turns out though, i liked 1 and loved 2.  hopefully it wont be cell-shaded like their last spiderman game.

God I can't wait until you're disappointed by the PS3's supposed superiority.  Especially on ported games.  In the history of gaming, when have cross platform games ever truly been better then their brethren?  I sincerely doubt (not because I'm a fanboy, but because the PS3's fill rate is terrible) that CoD2 will look any better than the 360 version.  It will most likely be on par with it, but not superior.  And I wouldn't doubt for a second that it's not going to be in HD.

i knew the fill-rate was bad, but i didnt know it was that bad  

i would love to believe that to be true but it cant be.  if the system cant run CoD2 in HD, then how will it run any game in HD?  as pretty as CoD2 is, it barely scratches the surface to what the 360 can do.

I can't claim to know ANY technical detail about the system beyond what I've heard and read.  But from what I've heard and read, it's pretty awful.  Sony will use the Cell + RSX's combined poly-crunching (of which it apparently has ample horsepower to do) to offset the differences, but that HDMI port on the back will more than likely only be exploited for Blu-Ray functionality.   This is all supposition on my part so don't take it as gospel, but I'm fairly confident in my statements.

Anyway, back to the topic... I'm not so hyped about Spiderman, but if it plays half as well as the first two, then I'm excited for the rest of you.

i see, i see.  i remember reading (from M_hael and other sites) how the ps3 is a poly monster, but i cant find any estimated numbers to how many it pushes.  for a company who likes to gloat and over-exagerate their specs i find it odd how none of the specs listed shows anything about a peak poly count and they seem to be keeping that number in the dar.  we know about the 360's estimated 500 million a sec. (even though im sure its not that high) but im curious to how the ps3 compares in that respect.  

back to the topic however.  im really curious and excited to the possibilities of how a spiderman game can look on the next gen hardware.  i was impressed by spiderman2 and can only imagine how much better it could look and play on the next game.  if they can make it more natural with the crimes and make the whole world seem more seamless and believable then that would help a great deal with the immersion factor.

so true so true, those dumbasses

and Krusty, they have a shepherd, check the link in my sig!

Thanks to LowProf for quoting Ozy(enter sarcasm)...

good lord someone call the shepherd, he lost a member of the flock.

back to spiderman, those games need to go the way of the atari jaguar(although I miss the jaguar).

I apologize for my outbursts, jury duty has made me this way
