How hard is it to understand?
The key version of the 360 this Christmas that they brag about is a 360 that can't take advantage of a lot of the features they brag about... Seriously how hard is that to understand? LOL
The Arcade can't take advantage of Fallout 3 DLC, GTA4 DLC, Tomb Raider content, can't take advantage of movie downloads, doesn't have enough room for the new XLE, can't take advantage of downloads.... If this SKU sells well, they are really taking away...
MS has SUCH a messed up list of priorities right now.
1) Let's get to the $200 mark with the Arcade! (Good)
2) Let's really brag about DLC, no need for BR movies, and at the same time, really push the Arcade that can't take advantage of DLC and downloading movies. (Bad)
3) Let's push the arcade so the percentage of 360 owners out there without a HD increases so it makes it harder for devs to push games that would benefit from a HD...

I think with them dropping so many studios from their MGS, it's clear why they've let so many studios go now. Let's hope for their sake it pays off. Those are some amazing prices regardless.
Not a chance. There's no way devs are going to add features that aren't going to be used for years. Not only do they want you to buy the next version instead and actually MAKE money, they actually don't have time to do this. Not even a remote chance. I can see framerate being better and resolution, but that's it.
This game was meant for the PS3. It would have totally rocked. : /
Love the speed of the combat, but the old school "battle area is the same regardless where you are" is just last gen by now. Here they are walking on stairs that go down another 500 feet, and you have a random battle up there that ends up on a 500' x 500' flat field. I can't believe devs are still falling back on that. This isn't the PS1 era any more. White Knight cleans up in that area with battles right there in the environments. Anything less this gen is falling back on last gen....
Just wait until Batman. Now I wish i knew something. How many digital downloads of this movie have been downloaded compared to this? Maybe 10% of what the BR version did?
For those interested, here are some recent sales in Germany and Spain, which = UK for money spent on video games last year:

Basically, the 360 is trailing easily in Spain and Germany....
And we all know what France is like. So yeah. Basically, the PS3 is still outselling the 360 in Europe as a whole it seems....
Horde? Is that a horde? LOL. And for those who say it would be too much, watch Resistance 2. And heck, this "Horde" is moving so slowly and still looks super choppy.
Now THIS is a horde:

It's becoming more and more obvious that Gears 2 can't handle more than about 10 enemies on screen at once. And no. I'm not talking those distance hordes that...
Sadly enough, that's probably the gimmick they needed to sell a lot of this game. The vehicles all seem to end up moving and steering and flying the same way. Motion controls would have actually made it more fun to actually use these vehicles. It seems like they were just happy enough to have customization and not care if people enjoy riding them or not. Seriously. Look at every vehicle video, and despite different designs, they all end up reacting and steering and flying the same way. They'v...
As kiddy and as gay looking EyePet is, if they market it enough to little kids, EyePet could sell a crapload. Have you guys seen the trailer? That could easily be the next Nintendogs for sure.
Actually Resistance 2 is taking things further by having a lot more getting sliced off at once compared to scripted chainsaw cutting in the same spot regardless.... :/ And I still have yet to see a Gears 2 video where there are more than 10 enemies that you can run up to. Yeah, they seem to have sections where there are like 30 enemies way down below where you can barely interact with them, but that's about it.
Visual upgrade confirmed. There's just more depth and chunkiness to everything now. The trees (THANK YOU) look much better, the gore is cranked up... They've added a lot of polish to things. A lot.
It could be that it's selling great, but Amazon.com is not showing it. Not when the 80GB PS3 is ranked higher than all 3 360 SKUs.
I have an idea. Let's compare a racer with lame crashes, the vehicles are all the same, and the levels look fake.
Yes, there are some visual advantages to Pure in terms of number of trees and so on, but just having a game with all the same vehicles, same physics, lame crashes, just hanging air time? Motorstorm is pulling off wayyyyy more than Pure. Not even close really.
I think for me, I thought that LBP would be a game that came out with just a taste of included levels, and then you could create more. I was thinking like 5 hours worth or something. It's great to see that this game can be a longer one for even those who just want to play out of the box. Should be awesome.
Hmmmm... Maybe a bit late considering LBPCentral.com has about 200+ active members and is offering a chance to win a copy of the game. Looks good though. :)
Only thing that seems a bit bothersome is the number of times people end up on all fours when getting wounded. I mean is this going to happen most of the time? I've seen like 20 videos, and I'm seeing this happening wayyy too often. It's like shoot a guy, he falls on all fours and tries to crawl away, stomp, repeat, repeat, repeat.... It's like they view this as the new gameplay improvement, and use it over and over again. It looks old after a while.
Looking beautiful though. The...
My only issue with Gears 2 is that it seems like there are 2 main scenarios every time...
1) Damage enemy until they are doing the exact same crawl every time for a finishing move
2) Have a chainsaw duel until one person gets cut in half.
While the finishing moves are cool, I really think they've made this game wayyyy to scripted. How many times will enemies end up on all 4s, crawling away the same way? This is going to get old unless they add some more...
Man, I love it. Apparently though there is a phrase from the Bible that some people will find offensive, so the game has been delayed until March 2010. LOL. Kidding. That commercial rocks....
