well...I hold Dr Yassam in high esteem but I Trust Volition...and if They say PS2 can do it...I prefer believe expert developers rather than a brilliant Member

so...Metal Gear Ray...say they cancelled this game for XBox completely (just hypothetically) and you had been looking forward to it for a long time.  And they said it was only coming to PS2...that means the games sucks, because its texture capabilities arent as good as the good ol\' XBox?

remember, any special feature XBox has in hardware, PS2 can do in software.  And Ps2 can do textreus as well as the other consoles, it just requires more effort.  PS2 does also do texture compression.  it can have ratios of up to 80:1.  but the textures have to move around inside the emotion engine uncompressed.

ugh...i think i got lost there...basically what i was saying is, the game is based around its gameplay ideas...not whther it can do bump mapping...then i got side tracked

Thanks for the compliment guys!

On the issue of texture compression, rather than restating my past comments, please check out the following thread instead (there were a few points I failed to respond to, but hey, it was Christmas! );

no I\'m not saying that malice will suck withouth bump-mapping but malices main special features is bump-mapping. I am just saying that ps2 will never get a perfect port (not in this generation)

I don\'t see why the ps2 couldn\'t do this.  I think J&D looks better. :cool:

Microsoft are trowing this title awaywhat madness is this ?

Maybe they are concentrating there attention on maybe buying out a Large Company or something.

or maybe they drank a little too much at E3 and decided to so it when they where drunk.

Anyhoo

Who here thinks SONYand NINTENDO are going to get a phone call from MR Gates and his pile of cash tommorow ?

It\'s not like malice is not coming out on xbox. Just going multi-console. And I doubt the other versions would even matter. Malice was built for xbox so I it won\'t be same on other consoles.

Dont make me post pictures of DMC, Getaway, Stuntman, GT3 or FFX to show PS2 really has no problems with textures..

Bump-mapping?
I thought GT3 and Tekken Tag had this?
(GT3 road, Tekken Tag floor at some stages)

Yeah, this Malice thing is just odd.  It is not like MS doesn\'t have the money to publish the title and their relationshop with Argonaut is (was?) quite healthy.  I wonder what prompted them to say "No".

no thats not bump(gT3 road and Ogre stage in TTT) mapping, they just added some high res texture with a gloss map.
