It's back up now. This is the first time this has happened to the Xbox Live service in four years. It has well over 6,000,000 people using the service. What do you expect?
It's a bit different from Sony's 2 month old service that only has around 250,000 - 500,000 people on that completely goes down when they're trying to download a demo.
At least we can still download things. It's only the multiplayer aspect that's gone down. EVERYTHING else is still functional. If one thing goes wrong with the Sony service, everything else shuts off. Now THAT'S quality, eh?
Hmm, it's a bit weird how your writing style is incredibly similar to Juevani's. Coincidence?
Also, try contributing to the site rather than flaming. Idiot.
I like the fact that the only thing you're getting excited about at the moment is a demo.
"Oh, gee, buy the PS3! You can download the coolest demo!"
Adapted news post:
Yeah, the Xbox 360s games have started arriving. Yeah, the graphics are creating new thresholds for quality. Need proof? Go here, watch the videos, then come to the realization that you've just watched one of the most graphically impressive games ever -- Gears of War
...
I like the fact that they've thrown a Forza 2 pic in there as well!
Nah, all I saw was a hideous montage of both of the trailers with the Halo 2 theme played on guitar dubbed over it.
OH! I think I've figured out the connection! In both the ads the music was made by Marty, and in both ads feature Master Chief. I am so smart. /sarcasm
Hey, I said GAMES console, numbnuts. Try reading.
If you want a games console with the best next generation graphics (at the moment, I can't predict the future), then you only have to pay £200 plus another £20 or so for the memory card. If you want to full package for movies and games then yes, the £280 will do. Especially with the download service that they're introducing.
I'm not saying that Sony aren't offering their customers a very good deal. ...
Well, someone has a memory like a sieve. Does this sound familiar to you?
"We always take care of our customers, we always give them stuff for free, and we’re going to keep doing that forever. That’s how we do it, this is Epic."
I guess that means we're getting them for free. I wouldn't mind if they did charge anyway since someone was paid to work on them.
It's not as if Sony doesn't charge (overcharge) their customers, is it? a $600 GAME...
Ah, yeah. I remember that. That map doesn't look too good though, in my opinion. There's loads of cover behind cars up at the top where you spawn but if you go down to that little side bit there was hardly any, hopefully they've balanced that.
Of course they can. Only a small percentage of the batteries that THEY used were faulty (I'm going to try and skip past the amount of Dell and Toshiba batteries Sony did :P). I think it affected two models of their laptops. My Sony Vaio has been absolutely perfect.
IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME!
*giggle*
Yes. That IS my contribution.
DAMN YOU DOUBLE POST! :'(
If, to you, the next generation of videogames is defined by graphics then you've got to admit that Gears of War has already launched the next generation.
Both platforms will have good looking games. Simple.
Oh.. it's changed now. :(
Cboc?! *giggle*
How did that get past the people who moderate the posts? Or is this something that I've not heard about?
The textures on the floor don't look too good, in my opinion.
The rest of it looks really good. This game really has come a long way.
It went from: http://www.xbox360fanboy.co... (the trailer)
to: http://www.ukresistance.co.... (earlier game)
to: I play Halo 2 a little, although you'll probably find me on Viva Pinata and Gears of War the majority of the time at the moment.
Nope, it's CGI and Live action. That's what they said that it's ""not indicative of gameplay"". Which they later confirmed by saying "these images were not captured from the gameplay engine" (talking about the entire trailer).
I, for one, really hope that they can match this. But for now you HAVE to take it for what it is, which is entirely CG. Except for the Live Action.
Well, I'm sorry for being a smurfing SOB. Hopefully, you don't...
Bungie never said there was going to be anything "in-game" in the advertisement. They said Live Action and CGI.
(I'm secretly hoping you can prove me wrong :p )
" Oh and Thats Bill Gates On The Pic."
You're such an idiot! Was your 'joke' so lame that you had to explain it to people? you spend a minute using the 'warp' function on photograph editing software and suddenly you're the king of comedy? Well done, retard.
I don't understand why this is a news story. OMG someone posted something wrong on a blog?! Shock freaking horror! What IS the world coming to?
People make mistakes, live with it.
