F355 looks so ****ing plastic compared to GT3. [/quote] [quote][b]Originally posted by Kingcaleb:[/b] Where I work, the threat of 'folk-psychology' is ever present. The best scientist abandons all intuition and seeks objective answers. If anyone supported an argument by saying "it sounds so much better" - we laugh at them and tell them to bugger off to the Arts building (or worse yet psychology at Sydney uni!) [b]UrinalCake replies:[/b] Ahahahaha, psychology at Sydney uni, ahahaha... **** you're a clown! I bet the majority of people here wouldn't have any friggin idea what you're on about, then again, you're probably sitting in some computer lab at uni, surrounded by your equally egotistical, ignorant and arrogant peers having a nice little chuckle about this. "Hey guys, come and have a look at what my super intelligent arse wrote about psychology at Sydney uni, it's hilarious!" *riotous laughter ensues* "Hahaha, I really gave those Sydney uni scum some crap didn't I, and rightly so, I mean we're soooo much better than them!". [/quote] [quote][b]Originally posted by Grand Master 67:[/b] From a friend who told me that there was a software alternation thingy that could alter your Dreamcast to play DVD's...ok now I looked everywhere and I couldn't find it maybe it doesn't exist...I dunno, it does sound a bit stupid cause the Dreamcast uses a cdrom (or GD-rom, who knows)...anyone know where I could posibly get it....It would really be great I got 4 anime DVD's and no dvd player.... what I also heard that the alterned the Bios to start up linux on the dreamcast....anyone else heard of any weird stories of owners and their dreamcasts????

I suggest you talk to kingcaleb if you need anymore details, you can find him at Sydney Uni, he's the one sitting up the back of the psychology lectures constantly yelling out "pfft, yeah right, what would you know dickhead"!

[/quote] [quote][b]Originally posted by SPidER-HaMMeTT:[/b] Call it what you will. The fondness for PAL is mainly due to a HATE factor for NTSC (reasons of which are irrelevant). Just noticed that this release is NOT anamorphicaly enhanced. Shit. I hate that. Oh well. [b]DJ Fusion replies:[/b] But aren't you the guy who said that you wouldn't consider buying a 16:9 TV? So what the **** do you want anamorphic for? Do you even know what it means? [b]SPidER-HaMMeTT replies:[/b] You ARE joking right? There is 3 main sizes... 1) CinemaScope - 1.66:1 ratio (which is what Robo Criterion is in, WITHOUT anamorphic) 2) 16:9 - What CinemaScope becomes, AFTER anamorphic enhancment. Smaller black bars on a 4:3 ratio television. 3) 4:3 - Standard commercial television viewing size. You DO realise that even WITHOUT a widescreen 16:9 television, anamorphic enhancment still reduces the size of the black bars on the top and bottom of the screen. Thus, I think standard CinemaScope on a 4:3 ratio telly is TOO small, where as I like Anamorphic enhancment on a 4:3 telly, as it becomes 16:9 ratio. That being said, anamorphic enhancment on an ALREADY 16:9 ratio movie, stretches it onto 4:3 ratio, taking up ALL space on standard televisions. Eg. RoboCop 3. [b]Vzzzbx replies:[/b] Are you seriously saying you'd rather stretch your picture to fill the screen? You're not supposed to do that. What you're talking about is a serious distortion of the picture. If you're going to run anamorphic coded transfers without compressing the picture for a 4:3 screen, you're doing it wrong. Just like 99% of electronic shops run by stupid people. [b]DJ Fusion:[/b] You're right. [b]Prince Underpants:[/b] Pool Room. [/quote] [quote] [b]Originally posted by UrinalCake:[/b] Yeah that Burnout ad makes the game look absolutely pathetic, it looks all pixelated and blocky so I honestly did think it was for the PSX, I wasn't just stirring. [b]Candy Arse replies:[/b] Here's the killer, the footage shown in the ad looks far far better than the game itself. [b]Nathan replies:[/b] The footage shown in the ad is from very early development, the actual game if anyone here has played it looks much better than that. Need some proof? Go to the edge forums and ask AlexWard (Criterion) your self. In other words your a dick Candy Arse. Burnout is an excellent game. There is a lot of jaggies if running in pathetic 60hz mode (when will people learn that 60hz is NOT better) [b]DJ Fusion replies:[/b] "Excuse me, does your game look good?" "Yes." "Thank you, I must be a dick, because I played it for about 20 hours and thought it was a jaggy shimmering mess but if you say it looks good then I must be wrong." Good idea chump. [b]Nathan replies:[/b] No the question would be 'Excuse me Sir, is the ad footage from very early development?'. I can't believe you or anyone would agrue that the game don't not look better than it does on the ads. It's nuts. 60hz... Easy. Switch any game to 60hz and looks at the brick sized pixcels. Switch to 50hz and watch them shrink along with much of the jaggies effect. [b]Mech replies:[/b] I don't think people have been playing PSX games lately. Load up GT2. Watch the textures warp. See the 25fps juddery animation. See the massive, fist size pixels that make up the polygons. Then load up a PS2 game. Even shithouse looking PS2 games like Sky Odyssey look a ton better than PSX. I can't understand you guys. [b]Poppa Large Advance replies:[/b] I think the point is most of us can deal with hardware released in 1994 looking bad, but would prefer "TEH REvOLUTION IN GAEMING!!11!" to look a bit better. [b]Candy Arse replies (to Nathan):[/b] I played it non-stop the night I took it home, moron. Please be aware of the following facts - You are a moron. I have access to far more games than you. I have access to far more games eariler then you. You are a moron. The ad displays far less flicker than what is present in the game. In that regard, the game looks worse. Far far worse. If you don't like my opinion, give me your address, and I shall send you fifty cents so you can call someone who cares. [b]Sonhex replies from his desk at Criterion Software:[/b] Is this a forum about Burnout or just a doss house for fags talking about their arses? if the made Burnout 2 (which they will) what should they improve? don't be shocked by an intelligent question boys, you can always post a photo of your arse if it makes you feel happy....
