Bubs+ for the vid. That demo is pretty sweet use of the avatar. I like the way it jumps and responds really quick. The sad part of those tech demos (like the wolverine-mimicry in the IGN one) is that they never get implemented. I'm not a developer. No experience in that whatsoever. Do those kinds of implementation have to be packaged into some library before developers can [or want] to make use of it?

Until we see developers actually making games 1:1 and not pre-can...

i would buy this as soon as I can on Steam (they even have it preorder) but only once they port it to mac. It's just not the same playing on a win7 10 inch netbook nor bootcamping to it (since that's all I have atm). In the meantime, I'm still terrorizing the neighboring empires in Civ4.

wind + ice = blizzard?

They should make a Last airbender game using move.

The Kinect and EyeToy are "quite" the same if developers are going to follow the same approach.

Forza demonstration with Kinect for example. When you go to the part where he explores the 458, the UI involves the user putting their hand over a circle and waiting for it to register is similar to how EyeToy game UIs are.

If developers ...

well labwarrior makes all 360 owners look bad.

a thing I learned from n4g is that even if a person says they also own a ps3, it doesn't mean jack. Why? Because of the many pictures I've seen of so-called multiconsole owners, I only noticed like 2-3 ps3 games versus 20+ 360 games.

another thing I learned from n4g is that it isn't ruled by ps3 fanboys or 360 fanboys. Why? Look at the degrees on the side of the main page. If it were ruled by a majority, we'd only see heavy degrees of stuff favoring one f...

I wouldn't put bethesda fallout on that list. If anything and in my humble opinion, they turned an interesting rpg universe (fallout 1 & 2) into an 'fps with perks' sort of like bioshock. Other than the setting and pipboy, nothing about Fallout 3 reminds me of the uber-cool post-apocalyptic sensation Fallout1/2 really brought out.

Bioshock and Fallout are disgraces to the core gameplay in fallout and system shock. They are not original or true to their or...

personally I'm not a big fan of id. They make extremely mind-boggling graphics possible on current-gen hardware, but their games lack a lot of depth and feels very sterile. Valve on the other hand makes games that - though are not graphically competitive if you put it next to id's stuff - are very dynamic and organic. Something you could appreciate and call it an 'experience'

Classy? No super booty Your Shape girl and massive bra-less GT funbag chick is more like Failtaku.

I hope they're not letting the kids play shooters and games like GTA in there. Killing and violence doesn't really sing well in a hospital environment. I would've thought Wii since it's more casual friendly, but it's good they're playing rockband and ncaa there. Hopefully, those kinds of games are the only genre available.

This rationale of your post is sound. If they were to invest onto a longer-lasting console at this point, their investment would bring in more profits in the long term. Considering at this point of the generation, it is possible for MS to release a new system in a few years and developers will need to develop on an entirely new system again. It is less costly for them to put more effort onto the system that will generate better returns.

MS says they'll release a new x...

LOL. the first vid is kinda funny in my head, in that with the view the driver chose, and that steering wheel in view... I had almost thought it was go-kart racing I was watching.

edit : oh they changed view later in the vid... now I know what they're driving. definitely not go-kart. still funny to think about.

edit2: gt5 needs a feature like in tdu where u can adjust the seat height and distance for us short drivers. :-)

and it's gonna be linear all over again and on 3 discs once the 360 nags it from wada's greedy hands.

kinda difficult to tell if some shots on the net are direct-feed or not to really see if jaggies are present. Could be bullshots. Though it is indeed true that GoW3 exhibits little to no jaggies in most of the scenes. The "jaggies" in the maze garden during the green illusion are deliberate though.

like the hdtv buyers that didn't jump in when hdtvs were just barely around ... I say wait until next year then purchase a 3dtv. It'll be more reasonably priced by then. Notice almost every single big movie in hollywood is also in 3D nowadays?

I laughed when the recent Last Airbender commercials on tv said in the very end "Also in 2D" considering when the trailers first popped up, the movie said "The Last Airbender in 3D"

I gues...

@pxpxp

i tried the motorstorm pr, pain, and ssdhd 3d demos at my local sony style store and they were really impressive. I'd have to say the sony 3dtv sets/experience blow away the panasonic 3dtv i tested out at the best buy magnolia center.

granted, it's not for everyone. Some customers were impressed and felt natural to them, while some others couldn't get used to it. But the particles effects... they were amazing in 3d.

that whole video and no scene of the girl with the super booty playing Your Shape ???? And what about the bra-less GT girl with those massive funbags ???

heh I like steam on the mac. So far I'm anxious for more of the indie games and hopefully the new Civ when or if it gets ported.
