Alway's liked Gears menu and HUDs. People understimate the positive impact of easy to read HD HUDs and clean slick menus. With, Gears you never feel like you're out of the game.
Not even close to Ray-traced.
IT's incredible what they're able to squeeze out of the 360. Hopefully they're using the release delay to work on the story and voice acting. The graphics and performance have never been an issue.
This can't be the same engine htey're licensing. Would love to see what Ninja Theory could do with the optimized engine they're using for Gears 3.
There's plenty of Gears 3 gameplay footage available. This EPIC screenshot issue is moot. Gears has never failed to deliver in the graphic area. There's no reason for skepticism regardless of what screenshots they use. If there was a history to releasing screenshots not representative of the actual game, I could see the issue, but here there is none.
Luckily they can afford to invest in those things and wait. Xbox, Bing, and Windows Phone 7 are now maturing and doing well. Windows Phone 7 is still a question but looks promising and there is a lot of buzz and anticiplation. I know I'm getting an WP7 Ominia and dropping my iPhone. After dropping it for Droid and going back to it.
It would be stupid NOT to delay it. Microsoft owes it to developers to get it's first party juggernauts out of the way and let them have a piece of the pie. It's just good business and G3 will be even better.
I never noticed it until the Open Zone went away. Was probably always there. There are devoted fans that defend or attack to the level of absurdity on both sides but it does appear overwhelmingly the PS3 community being out of control and obsessed with bashing the 360.
Seems bashing the other platfrorm is a sign of fear. Maybe they should be, based on specs, Xbox 360 shouldn't be in the game. Castlevania, Enslaved, NBA 2k11 all rock on the 360, look gorgeous and perform...
It's way, way out of balance.
Any doubts about the looks and performance on the Xbox were obliterated by the Demo. Awesome!
heheh, Nice one.
Madden 11 - bought
Castlevania - Pre-ordered
Enslaved - in a bit
NBA 2k11 - shortly
XBLA - All Pinball FX2 Tables, Prolly another $60 on XBLA on other stuff.
Good year for those who don't like FPS'
This is more interesting to me after watching the B-movie Sci-Fi Downstream.
Actually, other than the lenght, HS is one of the best games on any platform. When I sold my slim it was the only disc based game I had left. I traded in GOW after a week, bought it new.
Obviously everyone has different tastes but I thought the combat and gameplay were far superior to GOW and typical hack and slashes that you can get through by button mashing the whole way through and looking for the sparkly thing to get the next level. I'm not impressed witht he whole...
I'm with you. I never played DmC. The white-haired Japanimation look was not something I was interested in. I think I can actually play this one provided the game is any good.
The change is so dramatic, it attracts someone who didn't care for the current series, so it's no surprise it's generating so much angst from fans of the current series and its "look & feel".
edit: while I like the look, I'm not really into the met...
You're too normal. You're a regular sane person who is a gaming enthusiast, leave now.
Microsoft paid you to say those sane things didn't they?

Who's complaining? The discussion is PC vs Console (360 please) for gaming. Consoles is clearly best for gaming depsite the PCs ability to push more useless pixels, for a price. And you simply cannot get the same consistent performance for anywhere near the cost $299. And if you settle for a fugly beast of a noisy PC, you still won't get the games or the community/experience. i.e. Nothing out there compares to XBL.
edit: don't forget your OS license cost and ant...
Haven't bought a basketball game since Bird vs Jordan, PC. Back when I was learning computers.
I played the Xbox Demo. WOW!! I'm buying it. I'll wait for the $5-10 price drop in a couple months though since it's not bball season yet and I haven't done a season in Maddel 11. After I win my Fantasy Football league, it's on!

I don't disagree with you. I forgot the /sarcasm switch.
Obviously I thought the comment made no sense. If having a SDTV makes a game as good looking as 2k11 look like PS2, therefore you don't want it. Then that person doesn't need a nextgen console at all. /s
I would never have a box that fugly or huge. I used to do that. I funded ATI and NVIDIA for years with video card upgrade after upgrade. Once I went console, I really only need to upgrade when Intel releases a new architecture. I'm on a 3.16GHz Core 2 Duo with 8 Gig DDR 1333 (running at 1066) and really don't need to go to the iX platform.
I'm have a beautiful Dell OPtiplex 780 Ultra Small Form Factor with 40G OCZ Agility 2 SSD for System, and eSata Acomdata Sam...
N4G needs a waiting period to prevent fanboys from creating stupid posts 5 minutes after creating a false-sense-of-manhood account.
