I don't know, is that a trick question or just a "clever" way of stating that I'm wrong? Help me out here, I'm so confused right now...

If you were just stating your own, personal opinion, then you obviously can't be wrong.

I'm confused myself. The game's bright and colourful...but it's also pretty sterile and flat-looking, and there are plenty of games that are at least as good-looking as it...and certainly not less good-looking by a large margin in my opinion.

I don't know, perhaps it's just me but this game really looks so much better than anything out there imo. Perhaps it's mainly the artstyle, I don't know. I really do think ik looks much better than anything else I've seen thus far (yes, including the usual suspects).

The choice for this "perfect utopia" obviously makes it easier to achieve such a level of graphical quality due to not having to waste too much resources on stuff like debris/particles or whatever and it makes sense when it looks sterile in the context of the story/narrative. So sure, that helps...but regardless...the game really shines.

I agree, the dualshock sticks are terrible for FPS games, Infact they are pretty awful for most games that require intricate quick movement.

btw, the game looks great

Must say this game looks interesting. Hope it delivers on the game play and it's fun that DICE trys something different from just releasing another battlefield game in the series.

Btw, everyone knows the atari jaguar controller is the best that ever happend humanity.

After watching the vid a few times, I gotta say, this game looks boring as all hell.

I don't like the whole "follow the red" thing that's going on. Seem's a bit of a Ninja Gaiden "Follow the blue" gimic.

Symmetrical analogs > Shifted analogs. Much more ergonomic. Dualshock is great for FPS. Always has been.

Nope. 360's controller is ergonomically superior. Fact. Pwnd. Kidding. Though not really.

I wouldn't exactly count on his opinion being unbiased based on his avatar/sig... or yours based on your sig.... but that's also just a matter of my opinion.

Also, it's not a matter of opinion which controller is more ergonomic. The left control stick on the 360's controller is in line with the natural position of the thumb. With the Dualshock, the thumb has to be moved downward to a less natural position. It'd be like trying to argue that a car's steering wheel that is just at arms length is arguably as ergonomic as one that's closer and more comfortable to grab. I'm not saying you can't get used to it, but that doesn't mean it's on equal footing design-wise.

If you own just one platform, then I'm sure you'd have no problem with whatever controller you have, as you work around the limitations. If you own a 360 and a PS3, then it's a different story. When you play a PS3 FPS game after a 360 one, the first thing you notice is the deadzone in the sticks, which makes it hard to control fine aiming. You get used to it over time, but I still struggle with FPS/TPS games on the PS3, but don't on the 360. Watch almost any movie of a PS3 FPS/TPS (Socom is an example), you'll see that there's lots of twitchy turning when the user was trying to make a slight turn to the right or left. That happens far less on the 360 simply because the smaller deadzones make adjustments easier.

That's probably why I tend not to buy these kinda games on the PS3. This month, LBP on the PS3. Next month Mirrors Edge on the 360.
