What a perfect example of the only people still pretending HD-DVD is a viable format.
US teen to twenty something Microsoft Xbox fanboys - who hate teh Sony.
Yawn.
Toshiba already massively subsidizes their unwanted HD-DVD players. The Microsoft fanboys who are the only supporters of the dead HD-DVD format are the only people still trying to pretend the format is viable.
Viable formats don't need to have 150 million dollars payoffs to studios like Toshiba and Microsoft were recently forced to do.
Target and Blockbuster are dumping their remaining HD-DVD stock, the Nielsen BluRay sales gap continues to w...
You couldn't possibly be more pathetic post that garbage you just wrote with a Gears of War marketing bullshot as your damn avatar.
So sad.
"I will wait for a review"
Yes, everyone should wait around for the little Xbots at sites like EGM and 1Up to find excuses to trash the game.
Let's just sum up what a complete farce game reviews are:
First, 99 percent of reviews are blatantly absurd with one game getting massively marked down for lacking a certain feature when another or no other games by that same reviewer gets the same treatment.
Second is of course the platform fanboyism that permeates review sites like EGM and 1Up.
Third is the publisher/developer involvement in granting exclusives, marketing arrangements or other fi...
"it really would've put Xenos on equal footing with RSX."
Not even close.
The stupid too small EDRAM design on the 360 just makes life miserable for developers and ends up giving 360 games poor AA most of the time.
Xenos is just a PC graphics card with the addition of the stupid EDRAM.
The PS3 is a modern graphics system where there is no 'graphics card' RSX is a fillrate monster that can handle 1080p with ease(GT,RidgeRace...
My god, what a retard.
The PS3 version is obviously better.
The jaggies that plague 360 games is directly due to the stupid graphics hardware design with the too small for 720p 10megs of EDRAM.
What that means is that developers are faced with a choice of having to either write a custom tile renderer to break up each scene into parts that can fit a section of the frame buffer and its AA information or give up on decent AA.
A tile renderer is both a pain in the ass to wri...
The stupid 360 DVD can only use 7 GB. 1.5-2 GB or so are used for some completely pointless Microsoft DRM or security stuff.
"good compression technology"
Oh please. There is no 'secret' compression technology that only Microsoft knows about. Just stupid fanboy damage control over the gimped 360 storage.
To get an idea of what a nightmare the 360 is turning out to be for Rockstar just imagine what your day would be like if someone replace...
What a loser.
This is the same pathetic little fanboy who trolls gaf and I'm sure other sites.
The 360 has turned out to be a nightmare for Rockstar. Due to being desperate for money they had to take the 50 million dollars from Microsoft to support the gimped 360.
7 GB DVD disc
No standard harddrive
Rockstar right now is faced with making a game in 2007 that has to fit in less space than PS2 and Xbox games had back in 2001.
Is the 360 Rockstar's primary focus? Of course it is. Rockstar engineers wake up screaming in the middle of the ...
So on the 25th, Halo 3 will be getting:
A real next gen graphics engine - no more of this last gen shiny metal everywhere?
A real next gen networking setup - no more of this last gen laggy P2P 16 player BS?
A real next gen disc format that has room for 7.1 uncompressed audio and music like other next gen games?
Because they have suckers going out and rebuying 360s hoping to finally get a 360 that doesn't die.
There are a huge number of 360 owners already on their second model.
Oh right, Halo is supposed to get an automatic 9/10 just because...Halo fanboys will jump up and down and cry if it doesn't?
Graphics 3/10:
Halo 3 is easily the worst looking fps of 2007. Haze, UT3, CoD4 all look like next gen games. Whereas Halo 3 looks like Halo 2 running in a higher rez.
Networking 3/10:
Halo 3 has the worst online setup. No dedicated servers, only 16 players per game, 50 dollars a year for P2P is an insult to gam...
After the beta fiasco only the most diehard Halo fans care about this mess.
Last gen graphics.
Totally botched online.
Failed to give gamers dedicated servers like on PCs or the PS3.
Embarrassingly low player counts with only 16 - only Gears of War had a worse player count.
For a company expecting us to pay them 50 dollars every year just to play this game online it should be above and beyond all other online titles.
60 bucks ...
Another game gimped down to 360 level.
Sigh.
There are so many insanely good PS2 19.99 Greatest Hits games that people still haven't played that holding off to pick up a PS3 right away makes sense - especially if you don't have a 1080p set yet.
There are more people buying eight year old PS2s than Microsoft's 360.
And all of those exclusive PS2 titles will be waiting for them on the PS3 when it hits their personal trigger price over the next few years.
The Wii is selling very well in all three regions.
The PS3 AND PS2 are selling well in all three regions.
The 360 is dead in Japan and only in England is the 360 selling while being pretty much dead in the rest of Europe.
Microsoft is now up to 7 billion in losses for the entire Xbox project, RRoDs continue to plague even the newest 360 models, Microsoft continues to focus more and more on the PC side of gaming, and so far has been almost completel...
Graphically mediocre WW2 game.
Yawn...
