The entire game lets you continue from your current place, when you die....until the final boss battle. :(
EnforcerOfTheBullsh1t. :o
That game deserves a 9.5-10, for what it accomplished.
1.) This guy is a virtual NOBODY in the gaming community.
2.) Every expert imaginable, has agreed that the Cell really isn't designed/optimized for gaming, like the 360's CPU. It's more of a high-powered multi-purpose processor.
The problem is, Sony doesn't provide the dev support/structure that MS does. They don't have a Cell equivalent to XNA. They don't have the $$ and/or human resources to share with all of the different devs either. THAT is the real di...
You simply don't like shooters or mech games, if you think LP sucks....or you have the WORST taste EVER. o_0
I have a friend, Bill Greene, who works for Epic (look him up, if you have the CE edition of Gears...little guy, thinning brown hair, goatee).
He told me MONTHS ago that they were indeed working on UT2007 for PC/360, but it's a timed exclusive for the PS3. Of course, since the game is ROOTED on the PC, and has done VERY WELL on the XBOX, you'd have to be a complete moron to think otherwise.
...I'm not blaming you. OXM is just an awful source for gaming "news/rumors"....rea d Game Informer instead, or stick to websites (which are at least a month ahead of magazines).
...still the 360. ????
...that's precisely my point. :o
1.) UT2007 has been known to be in dev for the 360 for a long time; that it's "announcement" won't be until after the PS3 release is irrelevant. It's 'Assassin's Creed' all over again.
2.) I've seen pics of THE OFFICIAL 360 controller, long before the recent ones of the MadCatz controller surfaced. Perhaps you just don't follow these things as closely as some. Either way, it's still no "rumor".
1.) Gears IS NOT a FPS....if you don't know the difference, you have no business discussing games...PERIOD.
2.) This guy from Blitz has gone on record saying this same tired BS before. The sad thing is, Blitz Games has NEVER made a quality game....EVER. Why should anyone give a rat's ass what HE thinks?
Lost Planet scoring lower (a FULL POINT lower) than Hoops 2K7 (which sucks ass, and is no different from 2K6) is complete bullsh*t. In reality, LP is probably an 8.5-9, and 2K7 a 7-7.5.
Seriously, this game (and it's developer) deserves a LOT of attention, and $$. IT'S A 50MB GAME, for crying out loud!! 0_0 Next-gen physics (that kick Havoc 2.0's ass), Next-gen lighting, Next-gen textures, and AMAZING gameplay....all at a bargain-bin, last-gen price.
The new compression technology ALONE, is deserving of an award (I really think MS needs to buy this Dev), and PROVES that Blu-Ray is a COMPLETELY USELESS format. As more devs start utilizing these advanced com...
NONE of these are "rumors".....it's all old news, pretty much.
-Yes, Crackdown was delayed until "Spring 2007"...a couple MONTHS ago.
-UT2007 for the 360 is in fact in development, along with the PS3 version, as confirmed by my friend Bill Greene at EPIC, 4 MONTHS AGO.
-We've already seen pics of the 360 arcade controller
-Bethesda went on record long ago to say that KoTN was NOT an "expansion",...
This game was supposed to come out back in the summer, as the first game available using Unreal Engine 3.
And yes, this game is MORE than worth $15...it's a full-fledged, next-gen title, with Havoc 2.0 physics, UE3, and late-XBOX 1 graphics. If you don't think that's worth $15, you need to give up gaming.
MS has lost a few "exclusives" to the PS3, but ONLY with games that have already COME OUT on the 360, and are merely ports. The exclusives SONY lost, will come out concurrently on the 360. Sorry Sony, but THIS generation, you only rate getting MS leftovers.
...since there's been so little shown so far.
However, with MS publishing, you can bet your ass, that if the game is 95% done by Thanksgiving 2007....that game is shipping for X-mas.
Many people, who've played the latest build, have gone on record to say this game is "very close" to the target renders ; this video PROVES they were either lying and/or paid by Sony to say that...or they are ignorant fools.
What about:
- Stranglehold
- Lost Planet
- Assassin's Creed
- Two Worlds
- Blue Dragon
- Crackdown
- Too Human
- Alan Wake
- Elveon
- Forza 2
- Fable 2 (though not likely until early '08)
- Overlord
- Kane and Lynch
- Harker
...just to name a few. 2007 will be an AMAZING year for the 360...but NOT just for FPS fans.
...their business must have been COMPLETELY SH1TTY before, if the meager sales of the PS3 boosted their revenue that much. o_0
Of course, they'll get their $$, no matter how many units are sold ; they stand to make more profit than SONY, actually. :o
