Srg Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Out this Friday and looks unbelievable. Detective game set in 1940's Los Angeles using new technology which puts almost exact faces into the game of actors and it looks incredible. Reviews been popping up today before the release in the US tomorrow. 9.3/10 on Gamestop and 4.5/5 on Joystiq just to name two. Majorly hyped for this.

Srg Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 8.5 on ign too. Looking forward to it, something completely different. Not only for playing on the right side of the law for once but searching for clues and being able to tell if someone is lying or is nervous from their expressions sounds really good.

WorksopRam Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I'm not a gamer, but it's these types of games that I like. Loved Mafia when it was out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrOrdinary Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I'm well excited for this, desperately trying to complete red dead redemption, before it comes out, I've only had a year to do complete it mind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTR.93 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 my mate showed me a youtube video of how huge the maps for the game were, it must be GTA 1,2 and 3 put together! Aint had a new game since Fifa but this one actually looks quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StaffsRam Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Lead platform's the PS3, and there's no MP, so I'll be getting it on that I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 Yeah, unfortunately its three disks on xbox and only the one on ps3. Hopefully the DLC will come earlier or be easy to grab on xbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srg Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 Nah, I haven't pre-ordered. Planning on trading it Crysis2 and maybe Mortal Kombat too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Yeah, unfortunately its three disks on xbox and only the one on ps3. Hopefully the DLC will come earlier or be easy to grab on xbox. Got a feeling that the PS3 version may have benefits around the DLC as it was originally a Sony-exclusive game. On the bright side, it seems to be scoring better on the 360. Game Rankings and Metacritic both rate the 360 version slightly better. Interesting given the PS3-lead development. Might have to reconsider. Think I'll wait and see what platform mates are getting it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 Yeah, suppose you are right there. Any idea why it's scoring better on the 360? Good news, but seems odd. On a slightly different note, after the fail that was the Playstation Notwork fiasco over the last couple of months, the update that has now come in is causing some consoles to overheat and crash. HA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorksopRam Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 It's £29.99 for PS3 and 360 on BestBuy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perky1106 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Tempted by this for when I've finished my last ever exam but I also want to get Portal 2. Is it a similar engine to GTAIV and Red Dead Redemption? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 Similar, but do remember it is developed by Team Bondi, not Rockstar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 No idea why the 360's scoring higher, but it's not what I expected. Games that are development-lead on one platform tend to be better on that platform, hence this is unusual. Good though as I wanted it on the 360 to begin with. The 3 disc thing doesn't really bother me, it's similar to ME2, you only have to change it a couple of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds Ram Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 looks an excellent game and can't wait to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Looks mint. Gamespot gave the PS3 version the nod over the 360 one. Dodgy framerate at times so they say. But i read the same thing somewhere about Mafia 2. Never had a problem with it. Don't like Red Dead Redemption so that'll be getting traded in with Modern Warfare 2 and any other game i can find.
