I'm wondering what it will entail, too, lol. I'm not that familiar with the premium content right now.
With all of the money they make, they should add dedicated servers across all platforms. According to Robert Bowling, they haven't, "announced whether they will or won't have" them.
Well, here are the free services every player gets with Elite:

I'm co-signing 1.4.1
Alyx is Afro-Asian. Check the link below for more info, if you're unaware of what that is, lol.

Edit: Yeah, psman012, I think it looks good, but the original is the best!
Lol, I'm laughing at everyone saying, "that's not Alyx!"
Well, of course it isn't her, exactly. :| It's the artist's / modder's rendition. It doesn't have to look just like the original.
Again, I think Valve's design is the best, but this one looks nice as well. :)
Edit: No, bobrea, not necessarily! I do think it's useless to say, "it isn't her", considering the only real Alyx...
Those aren't collagen-injected lips. They're a representation of her African genes (of her father, Eli, no doubt). Also note, that not all Africans share the same traits--it's an extremely diverse continent!
Black people (of African heritage), including those mixed, naturally have fuller lips than others, especially compared to those of white-European decent. White actresses sometimes have surgery / injection to acquire fuller lips, so I reckon that's how th...

Lol, I agree with you about that. Even though I enjoy seeing different models of Alyx, her original look is already perfect as is.
@1.1
I don't see how this new model looks like a "cheap sad sexbimbo". :/
I think she looks great, along with the darker skin complexion and full lips.
She's quite a change from Alyx, who is the original beauty, but why all the hate, guys?
One problem with making new Ops maps is that they'll have to record new voice overs (assuming the missions are different than the current ones), and I doubt they can or want to get Ray Winstone back in the booth.
My biggest problem is the fact that every map doesn't support every game mode on the disc. That's just cutting corners, IMO. It can be done!
Damn, Guerrilla. You guys just keep disappointing :(. Killzone is my favorite shooter series this gen. They took out much of what made it unique (things that were fun and functional), and dumbed it down.
Now, a key selling point to the MP, won't be further supported down the line. Not to mention, Operations isn't even supported in 5/8 of the maps on the disc!
@Alpha:
Sorry about the delayed response! Yeah, I should be getting it next Tuesday. The Sta-11 is the Helghast SMG:

I prefer the ISA SMG much more. Also, I'm not sure where NukaCola is talking about. From my knowledge, weapons are permanently locked to careers.
Saw this earlier! Akmir def. looks nice.
Saw the Operations vid yesterday, but not the entire thing. If that is the final version, then I'm VERY disappointed that they replaced the Mecic's LS57 SMG with the StA-11 :(.
That's pretty awesome :). I'm from Atlanta and can't remember a game ever being set or inspired by my city / state. I wonder what district of the A they were inspired by? Downtown, midtown?
---
Atlanta was in a Midnight Club? That sounds vaguely familiar lol.
What about Killzone 3's 3D effects?
---
3D looks like it will continually evolve and get better as devs become more familiar with the tech. Not just familiar, but clever in implementing it. I think it's here to stay. You have to start somewhere right? By next gen, it could be an optional standard across all platforms.
My next HDTV will be a 3D set, whenever I can afford it :P.
Peter never said the word "innovation". This is his direct quote:
"I think for certain people in the industry [Kinect] is the most wonderful thing that’s happened in the last 20 years, but for others it’s the worst."
---
Firstly, Kinect is not innovative, it's an evolved Eyetoy. Similar to how the PS Move is an evolved Wii-mote.
The actual appalling part of this article isn't Peter's comment (w...
Hey, Treal and I were talking about those same ideas together yesterday lol. There's no doubt in my mind that KZ3 will be amazing both in the single--and multiplayer components!
There was black Green Lantern, named John Stewart as well. But Ryan Renolds is playing the original Alan Scott, I believe :). Which makes sense.
---
You know, casting Jamie as Lynch is an unexpected and even strange move, but he is not bad actor by any means. He won best leading actor at the academy awards for his portrayal of Ray Charles! It's not like he can't adapt to play the role accordingly, but still, that's not a guarantee lol.
...
think Black Ops will surprise a lot of people in a good way. Treyarch is listening to the community's suggestions and are dedicated to proving themselves as competent protectors of the COD franchise. I'm looking forward to the full reveal on September 1st :).
It's cool that they took notes from that Spetsnaz commando from "The Ultimate Warrior" lol. I remember the show demonstrating the 'ballistic knife'.
It's nice to see people treat this submission as a genuine journalistic piece. And props to HHG! Good interview brotha.
Dead Space 2 is actually coming out in January 2011 :). If it were releasing this year, it should be on the list!
I'm surprised that Dance Central is ranked higher than Gran Turismo 5! And LittleBigPlanet 2, SOCOM 4, & Mafia II aren't even listed. WTF?
Well, why should anyone be upset that they're offering the same stuff as other sites (with more stat tracking) for free? You don't have to pay at all to play the game, or to access any of the things listed above.
There's just extra stuff that will cost money. The rest is optional and supplementary. Hell, I'm still not even sure what the cost portion will entail, lol. Let's hope it's not crap like perks or new weapons, etc. That would be game breaking...
