^ loser fanboys like you give all gamers a bad name.

To clarify,I got caught up in the hype surrounding this game, so what I mean is mediocre relative to the sky high expectations I had for it.

I've always found Eurogamers reviews to be honest and well written. Just because a reviewer gives a game you think is great a bad score, dosen't mean they have zero credibility.

Eurogamer 4/10, ouch.

How'd you guess, lol.

so far metacritic score 77 = mediocre.

sucks to be both of you.

2k Elizabeth stated last week that those shots were from an earlier Ps3 build, before the grass, motion blur etc were removed in the optimisation process of the game. Shady of 2k to release them....

Agreed, that guy is obviously working for 2k, or he's a bit simple.
Also Marchi the poor framerate and awful screentearing affect how the game plays. So it looks and plays badly and you don't have a...

I agree that the story is hugely important in this game, but from what I've seen the poor framerate, awful tearing etc have a really negative inpact, ruining the sense of immersion and taking the...

Another condescending PC owner I assume? People have a right to vent their anger when they recieve an inferior product. If the 'whining' bothers you so much then don't read these threads, there...

I never said there wasn't a difference, I said both console versions have major performance issues. You don't have to believe me, read the informative links I posted.

Marchi you must be working for 2k?
Most magazine reviews don't go into the technical side of things at all. I read a good few Red Dead Reviews, and not one of them mentioned the differences between...

Yes. If we support this kind of practice devs like 2k Czech will continue to release substandard versions on our system. Like Vallanthaz said, Vote with your wallet.

Wrong, they both run like dying pigs, see here:

It does have a poor framerate according to this tech expert:
'In fact, the game regularly runs at between 20 to 25fps with drops venturing down to the 15fps mark in busy situations, and this causes...

Impressive gesticulation..... he must be talking about the PC version at the start.

Won't be the extra-gimped Ps3 version, that's for sure.

Then don't read the thread.

We'll have to agree to disagree. As I've said before if a larger and more comlplex sandbox game like Red Dead can run perfectly well on Ps3 (and better on Xbox), then there is no technical (hardware)...

Yeah most people would take better overall performance, in exchange for the removal of what is poorly implemented SSAO, according to this tech analysis:
...

I'd say a bit of both too, but weighted on the dev side. I mean the Xbox version suffers from similar poor framerates and tearing issues as the Ps3 one. If they were decent Devs, surely they could...

Then what about Red Dead Redemption?, that's an amazing looking open world game that runs great on these 'antiquated' platforms. It's a much larger game than Mafia 2 to boot. The console versions...

IQGamer has a more in depth demo analysis:

Im surprised Digital Foundry went so easy on both demos.
This tech analysis is far more in-depth and way more critical
