So NOBODY wants anything more out of Halo I guess, they're all just completely satisfied, is that it?

ODST gave you everything you could ever want?

-

The fact that the game will sell 3 million day one is enough for people not to want more from a game now..

There isn't a game in existence, no matter how much I like it that I don't have some issue with, you are all either incredulous as to these games' flaws and short comings, or very easily plea...

Well the distance from the d-pad and left joystick on the 360 controller is 0.6 mm more than that of the PS3 controllers.

In d-pad to joystick switches per second, or simply DJSps, this would come to a substantially inflated value over a period of centuries in which time the PS3 addict/player would have saved literally minutes of their life which would have otherwise been wasted if he were to use the 360 controller. The triggers on the other hand..

I don't know why you're making an issue of the bits or bytes as the conversions I used are correct either way, so it's sort of an arbitrary point to make, but oh well.

Where are you getting the 32 MB for DVD, are you using the 24x figure?

Since when does the 360 have a 24x drive?

Max read speed I am aware of is 16x, which is referenced everywhere, but I can't seem to find a source that would indicate any 360 possess a 24x drive.

16x would pu...

"And yes it is a 2X read speed of set data that is equal to the same data that is read at 24X on the regular dvd system in the 360."

This is completely false, I don't know where you heard this but it was an entirely misinformed source.

Blu-ray speeds are proportionally faster than DVD speeds, the 360 ousts the PS3's blu-ray drive because it IS a "proportionally" higher end drive as far as DVD drives go; this means a 16x blu-ray drive will be much ...

Seriously, they may be lousy quality, but a blind person could see the horrible rock textures in this screen..

How in the hell are the idiots on that site making comments like "those graphics look sick," it looks fake to me, or worryingly bad if they're not.

Blu-ray: transfer rate of 36.0Mbps 1x (1.5x for video and audio though)

DVD: transfer rate of 11.08Mbps 1x (LESS for video and audio)

Now take those "x" numbers and do the math, see how 'big' a difference there is.

And again ignore all the other difference if you want after you figure this one out..

Yes, the 360's optimal read speed is a bit over twice as fast as the 2x blu-ray drive in the PS3 (without the blu-ray u...

You don't know what that 2x or 24x is multiplying, that's ONE of the reasons why you're wrong...

The 2x on blu-ray means two times a different figure than 24x.

Not to mention the 360 doesn't read all layers of the dvd at the same rate either (reduced speed for second layer)

Mostly the 360's dvd speed is faster, but since the technologies are different it's hardly reasonable to simply compare the 2x and 24x speeds. It's nowhere CLOSE to that degree of dif...

There is an ENORMOUS difference between a quick time SEQUENCE and on-screen button prompts to, say, mount a Cyclops (of which Kratos gains FULL control)...

Every game has prompts these days that could be misconstrued as quick time events.

Hold triangle to disarm explosive

Hold square to plant charge

Press circle to enter vehicle

(all baby brothers of the quick time sequence, contextual button presses for unique actions in a game...

This is the only remotely interesting screen, the others are laughably bland, or simply not impressive graphically to care:

Uses for insanely hugenormous budget:

- dedicated servers
- character customization
- more maps (map CUSTOMIZATION!!!)
- "make believe" weapons for extras
- graphics, but oh well we'll sell our CoD 4 1.5 to all those saps
- other gameplay mechanics, i.e. descending/ascending ropes, interrogation perk that requires two allied players, one to capture an enemy in a choke hold from behind and the other to "interrogate" for enemy posit...

Yes, THIS is what Natal needs to pave the way into the future... an FPS.... GREAT idea <sarcasm>.

-

If the first game with Natal functionality is an FPS... God help us.

On a side note, I wonder how good Natal is.. could it pick up hand gestures as minute as are seen in Sign Language? Could someone who knows sign language "type" stuff really quickly using Natal?

This is definitely a possibility, but I do wonder what the expressions of some parents will be when little thirteen year old Billy-bada$$ rips open his new 360 Mod War 2 bundle for Christmas, hooks it up and then says okay mom, now I just need another 50 bucks to play online!

I'm sure they'll dish it out, but they HAVE to be like, "wtf!"

Also, I don't think they have even gotten to the point where they are going back and tightening up all the code to keep the game at that 60 fps mark, they're just now finishing getting everything in place; then comes the polish.

The greatest part about a game like this though, is even IF the frame rate were inconsistent, it doesn't really matter. With shooters though, where a steady frame rate means the difference betw...
