Gun Sounds - Battlefield 3 vs Modern Warfare 3

While looking around youtube, I came across a very interesting comparison video. While I consider both games entirely different, they do have a lot of guns in common.  Now the question is, which has the better gun sounds - Modern Warfare 3 or Battlefield 3?

I personally think Battlefield 3 wins hands down. The echo brought to each shot fired in BF3  shows the weight of the gun you're carrying. While inC Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, well let's just say the difference is huge. The BF3 test was tested on an open field, but when fired in a corridor or a closed space, the gunfire get's even louder and you can feel that the sounds of each shot bouncing off each wall.To put it clearly, the sound changes depending where you are. In Modern Warfare 3, I don't see a change regardless of where you are in the map.

Not sure if real gun nuts would think BF3's gun sounds are close to the real thing, but it sure does sound like it. What do you prefer? BF3's gun sounds or MW3's gun sounds?

Yamauchi doing some work on Gran Turismo 6

While it is too early to talk about the next Gran Turismo, Kazunori Yamauchi told Complex that Polyphony Digital started working on the 6th installment of the series. Don't worry, based on how long they took to develop the 5th game, we're talking about years from now.

If you ask me , Gran Turismo 5 might be the only GT we'll have on the PS3 as I see it has many years left in it. They're still busy supporting GT5 at the same time just placed a huge update on the game. It's constantly evolving at the same time taking so much space in your PS3. It took Polyphony Digital 5 years to get released since it's announcement back in 2005.

Is it time to talk about the 6th installment? too early or not, Polyphony Digital is starting work early.

Battlefield 3 patch addressing tactical light being too damn bright

DICE is hard at work getting all the balancing right and considering a few changes for the next patch. One change in particular is what I've been praying since beta - Lowering the intensity of that damn tactical light. 

The tactical light is just too strong in my opinion. There is no change in its intensity if you're far away, too close or even in broad daylight. Whatever the case, the light covers almost the whole screen. Here's a before and after shot of this gun attachment. This attachment can be placed in most of the assault and carbine weapons and all handguns.

The adjustment to the tactical light seems reasonable. The intensity of the light will get stronger or weaker depending on how close you are to the player but best of all it won' cover the whole screen anymore.

Other changes include AA guns making air vehicles steering completely off-course when hit. I feel this at times, it feels like a small dent coming from AA fire comes out as if you've taken a direct hit from its fire leaving you fighting desperately to get your aircraft leveled. They are also going to address the issue of jets having no option to repair themselves.

While helicopters have the option to land and ask a buddy engineer to repair; crash landing for a jet is close to impossible when hit hard in this game. No word on how they'll address this, if their either planning a way to land the jet better or maybe a self repair skill, we'll just have to see when this patch comes out.

Galactus unlockable in Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3

Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 will be out on November 15th, with 12 new characters to master, better online features(doubt it), and more game modes. One of those modes is the ability to play as Galactus. Not an actual character unlock, just an entirely different mode to smack around Marvel and Capcom characters. Guess they're adding whatever mode to let every fan feel like it's worth buying the game again.

The game mode isn't there when you start-up the game, you'll have to farm 30,000 PP(Player Points) in order to play as the big baddie. There's a way around it though,  if you still have you're save file for Marvel vs Capcom 3 it will be instantly unlocked. Great, For buying the first game a few months ago, we get the Galactus game mode unlocked right away, uh thanks?

Still not sure if I want this game on day one. I'm drowning with games at the moment and I feel just about set for 2011. We'll see if my curiosity get's the best of me on release. Fighting game fans though should not miss this. Lot's of new  interesting characters and unusual ones too.
