Unfortunately, the screen tearing is as bad as ever with the newly patched Birds of Prey on on PS3. This is infuriating as I also have the xbox 360 version aswell as Wings of Prey for PC (running through the same tv) & there is no screen tearing issues whatsoever. If you are connected to the PS network then the patch will automatically give you the choice to install once you put your game disc in & play.

No I don't believe so because I think; put simply, it was an issue that was tied up with frames per second within the game & so, to the fairness of the devs, it has sounded like they did all they could on this issue. People do learn to live with it but I sadly could not & it was the one of the biggest patch-wants for me.

My advice to you is to download & try out the demo because that will give you an indication of what Birds of Prey version 1.01 is like in terms of screen tearing. You never know, you may well think it not all that bad after all & it's cost you nothing either way.

Well no, the screen tearing is not as bad as you make it sound. Get a grip.

Ah right! So the great KAMINARI has told me that my screen tearing is not as bad; hence I must G E T A G R I P ! ! ! Very clever of you to know what BoP runs like on my LG 42" LCD.

Listen DICKHEAD, I don't need jumped up little twats telling me the screen tearing on my PS3 BoP isn't an issue. Yeah sure; I've lived with it since October & I was giving a fellow forum user an answer to his question.

It is an issue with the PS3 version; like or not, users like me can either live with it or move on. I also have XBOX360 copies & the PC BETA, both of which are absolutely fine.

You're entitled to your opinion but to order me to get a grip when I took the time to give someone advice, even to encourage him or her to d/load the demo so he /she could come to an opinion for themselves, makes you sound like a pr**k.
Apologies to everyone else for the seemingly non-passive reply here but I get so pissed with those 3 words from a stranger ("Get a Grip") for merely offering some guy a reply to his request.

There is (or was) a demo on the PS store. I was addicted to it for ages lol. The thing you pay for is DLC for the game - the demo will definitely be free.

The screen tearing is hugely improved by the patch, but the game will still let the v-syncing slide in order to maintain frames per second. Which I would prefer - I'd rather have a smoother frame rate at the cost of tearing than the other way around.

EDIT: just checked the store and it does appear that the demo has been removed - probably cos Sony started charging for downloads. I would say buy the game - it is awesome, tearing or not. Hawk seems hung up on it, and that's his right, but it doesn't bother a lot of PS3 players.
