Re: IGN MEDIA THREAD!

I haven't seen or heard anything on Inside Edge, is it back this year?

This is what scares me, this is supposed to be A-Rod:

That looks more like Thomas Haden Church.

After watching those videos, I'm glad I bought a PS3 last year.

Re: IGN MEDIA THREAD!

I like what I saw. I Just hope it plays a good game of baseball. Graphics come after gameplay to me. It was ign and the video's just showed homeruns, a groundout and a strikeout.

lol, I knew the real complaining would begin tonight.

Exactly my thoughts.

If it's 2k7 with improved gameplay, I'm VERY happy.

How people get all worked up after watching some videos I'll never understand. If you read the hands-on there's still a month of development time.

Videos get me excited about this year's game. The only thing that has me a bit worried is the choppiness, I really hope it's the videos or it's getting fixed before release day.

People are getting "worked up", they're giving their honest opinions. I don't think the game has a month of dev time left either.

Re: IGN MEDIA THREAD!

Not impressed at all John Miller and Joe Morgan still repeated the same lines from the last couple of years. Player jerseys flaping around like there is fan in front of them. I will try out the demo when that drops. My money is going to MLB 08 The Show.

Re: IGN MEDIA THREAD!

Watched them again and noticed another thing...on the "diving play" video when the first baseman throws to third as the runner on 2nd tries to advance, Francis the pitcher covers...that should be the SS in that situation as you will NEVER see the pitcher covering 3B in that spot. It's little things like this that I hoped were fixed.

I sort of did, but not to this level. This is in the absurd/comical range

Re: IGN MEDIA THREAD!

After watching the videos (finally) I am a bit dissapointed.......they seem to have done NOTHING in terms of presentation or little details as we all figured they most certaintly would. The gameplay also to tell you the truth doesn't look like it has really turned around from where it was. It will feel new for about 10 games and then we will realize that it is 2k7 with a couple new mechanics. Of course it IS only about 4 minutes worth of footage but things that would take any time to put in there aren't there as we thought they would be which dissapoints me so it doesn't matter how much footage we see. I pre ordered the game today and it's staying that way no matter what happens at the very least the game appears to have made some strides. But some of the things that we expected to see that aren't there are just glaring things such as homerun celebration. It's almost like the joke is on us and the team is sitting there laughing. I really REALLY expected to see something there for that or at least some presentational elements we have been asking for for a year now.

I think they're wrong. I mentioned it above, but the game releases on 3/4. They can't develop up until that time, get it tested internally and then send it to MS and Sony to pass their testing/certification process and then stamp out a ton of DVD's and ship them out.

If I were a betting man I'd bet that development is done at least 1 month before the release date.

Honest opinions of a video from IGN?

Read the hands on article, last paragraph. This game was great after the patch last year imo.. don't see why it won't be again... and I'm not judging something after 4 videos from IGN.

Ya the videos looked pretty bad. I am thinking of getting a PS3 and the Show also... Looks like maybe Sony will see an increase of PS3 sales this and next month

I'm actually surprised so many people have been upset with what they saw as well I understand why, but it's still a little surprising.

Maybe he wrote that article a few weeks ago or something?

If they did have a choppiness issue and it didn't get fixed, I'll gripe then.

Re: IGN MEDIA THREAD!

I think really the only thing that is disappointing is the presentation. Main score overlay, walk-up cameras, fielding camera & home run camera (and somewhat disappointed in the batting camera, though more impressed than last year), Jon & Joe, crowd, bat sound, etc.

Visually, the colors seem to be much more right on than the first pictures showed, and they did promise 60 FPS, so I think there's no worry there. We also saw proper hit variety, and this new pitching thing looks pretty wicked. But on the presentation level, I think they downgraded a bit. That just may be me, though.
