dvsone, you seem to have missed my point; I am stating that from my point of view I prefer working on x360 than ps3 and pc above all and I did mention I am not a math teacher nor a whatever the other thing I said simply because I did not take the time to read your post for the obvious reason that it was off of what I was saying.
In other words, you stuck to the first thing I mentionned which was that the PS3 is the strongest of the consoles while in reality the difference is barely visible yet I still say it's stronger because it comes standard with a hard drive and a blu-ray drive which is a big plus compared to the x360 and that is where its strength is maximized and not in its cpu yet when it comes to developing I find it better to work on x360 or pc.
I must add that it is sad that you took my reply as an offence instead of a simple reply to a well founded discussion then again, it might be my bad english that appears offensive to you.
I am happy you were at ubi around E3 and I sadly did not get to play with the Wii since I wasn't attending the E3 and was working my ass off on our current project.

having a hard drive to cache (which the xbox360 has developers can add functionality to use it as a cache if its detected on the system) and a bluray dvd (which is much slower than a 12x dvdrom at reading) doesnt make it necissarily a stonger console. Hardware and bandwidth bottlenecks are exactly that. It makes no difference what peripherals are attatched. Bluray movies are curretly using mpeg2 compresion side by side comparisons and i have to say HD DVD looks much better atm. to be honest i think if microsoft dumped the core SKU and rlsd it with a hard drive it wouldve been a much better choice. Also the 360 is upgradable no matter which SKU you buy. The cheaper SKU for the ps3 is not upgradable. And the fact that you have a BR-ROM with no HDMI is just retarded.
Thw Wii demonstration was fun btw. Also they showed us a build of the new splinter cell game awesome stuff

"And the fact that you have a BR-ROM with no HDMI is just retarded." That's so damn true.
Yet the fact that a hard drive and br comes standard makes it a step ahead, I believe. It has a general potential and within 2 years we will see good games on a br using the hard drive and not for caching. One must note, I favor no side as I personally think each platform has their plus and their minus and in the end they kind of equal each other.
As for development, though, the PC wins the crown.
To conclude, DA is awesome indeed and so is the DA team. They all hope to beat flatout EA's Ao2. Ao2 vs. DA is the big competition at the office.
Did you see the wip of the PoP spinoff and Naruto??

tired of WW2 shooters anyway. rather check out COD: Modern Warfare
| Quote: | Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, as we stated before, moves the Call of Duty franchise into the modern era, where you'll serve as part of the U.S. Army, U.S. Marines, and British S.A.S. to take on terrorists loyal to an aggressive Middle Eastern dictator. This war on terror must be fought all over the world--in locations as diverse as vessels at sea in the North Atlantic, secret terrorist cells in London, the urban streets of Eastern Europe, and, of course, the Middle East--as you try to stop a terrorist coalition from using its deadly chemical arsenal.
As a pilot in an Army attack helicopter, you'll fly over cratered urban environments--with rocket-propelled grenades to boot--before you rope down as part of a Marine platoon to engage in close-quarters combat in a very different (yet oddly familiar) sort of environment from Call of Duty 2. It's in this door-to-door implementation of battle that similarities to Rainbow Six 3 and Splinter Cell start to become apparent as you fight in squads, rappel down walls, and clear rooms with silenced guns, tear gas, flashbangs, and various specialized goggles. That doesn't prevent you from utilizing all manner of authentic modern weaponry, however, including automatic grenade launchers, mines, and machine guns.
Modern Warfare will also feature deformable environments, where you can kick down and blow up doors, or take it to another next level with destructible walls, roads, buildings, and bridges. You'll also be able to block doors with heavy obstacles like vehicles or furniture and block windows from grenades with a little chicken wire. But you're not just limited to shooting what's within your (fire)arm's reach: you can call in and laser-sight air strikes to knock out those pesky enemy tanks and sniper's nests, too. Now that's what friends are for. |

"The big release news is that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and the other WWII-themed game will be released for PC, PS2, PS3, Xbox, and Xbox 360--and they will be released only 3 months apart from one another. This would follow the pattern of releases for Call of Duty 2 on the PC and 360 and Call of Duty 2: Big Red One on current-gen consoles, only this time both would be released on both generations of hardware (minus the Game Cube and Revolution)."
Nice one Ice! didn't know that.
Anyho, back to the good ol Console vs PC thrashing discussion...take it away guys  .

They are 
He (Grant Collier, President and CEO of Infinity Ward) mentioned that Infinity Ward has always and will always remain committed to the community, and are restricted strictly by manpower. Their number one priority is to make the game they want, and ship it on time. That being said, we'll just have to wait and see how the community falls into place on their timeline for Call of Duty 4.
Currently, Infinity Ward houses 80 industry-leading professionals, all working relentlessly on CoD4. That is a considerably larger team compared to the 25 developers that worked on the original Call of Duty. It will be interesting to see what kind of game IW can develop with this larger roster. -Donuts"
But lets not hijack this

Yawn. Can't they feature another regiment in a COD game for once?
Erm, on topic, I thought this was console shite and the lack of a save function + the constant pauses to explain the completely generic controls were annoying as fuck.

I'm tired of the only British unit that's represented in this sort of game being the SAS.

You could actually play Germans in BIA earned in blood, not the single player but the skirmish mode. Just love those uniforms...looks good in the bed room as well |

I don't want to piss anyone off with my offtopic-ness but I just played the demo and I wasn't impressed. The game is like the retarded child of a threeway between Far Cry, Boiling Point and GTA.
vehicle handling = fail
extreme consolish battles were even 20 military guys can't get your health down to 50 % = fail
graphics = win
I hope they release a screensaver mod for this.

and in some sick way he still killed 100 of people after he joined the allies fucke face club 
ps: hitler and stalin where allies @ first and stalin thought that hitler was he's frend.... so its sad and evil what hitler did... thats why everyone hates him....
stalin  after that
dint stalin piss itself in the ped and die a horrible death... and no one even knows how hitler died (kommunist say that that wasnt the hitlers corpse that the allies found) 
PS
How the hell did this threat about just cause turn into WWII men of honor threat  |

The game is pretty nice on X360 but the PC version sucks (as always when it has a 360 counterpart).
