There were a great deal of limitation on Last-gen hardware, irrespective of the platform, yet the 1st-gen xbox did have the edge but it wasn't until the end of it's life cycle that developers go to grips with what they could and couldn't do
This-Gen (rather than call it Next-Gen which it no longer is) hardware allows much more than before, it's one of the main reasons many developers are bringing out their older games that they have had sitting on the back burner for so long. Ju...
I just popped 2 videos up in the article this morning, one has in-game footage and the other is an interview with the developers about the game and its concepts. Very interesting viewing actually.
@ sak500,
If you do a good job of clearing ground forces, and complete say 3 of the other missions on that level, some of the other guys will clear 1 or 2 of the tunnel runs. . .
The trick with the tunnels is, approach them HEAD on, look for them on the radar, find them than approach them head on if possible at low speed. use the yawing rather than the stick, just use that to keep her level and in the middle, use the yawing buttons (shoulder buttons) to move left /right, j...
I've gone through Ace Combat 6 twice now and going through it the third time now on Expert, which is decidedly more difficult too I might add. And once you get your head around it, it's a damn fine game, and doing low flying sure does show up the details they have put into the game on the ground which most areal games do not.
Now if Ubi can not only match that, and better it, it should prove to be a real great game. From what I've read so far, Captain Mitchell is now Major Mitche...
so what's wrong with being passionate about games. These guys make games for us, we play them, we want more innovation, more diverse game playing modes and realism, yet, when a company pours $US20 - 40 million into a game, we (generally speaking) go on the attack, rather than compliment them for what they are doing, we degrade them for what they are not doing, does that make sense ?
I see games as an escape from the pain I suffer from a long standing back problem that has been wi...
I never claimed to be in-game footage mate. Simply a lead in teaser for the game.
What is it with some people, you want new IP, new franchises and series, Development houses spend MILLIONS putting together some for you, and you complain that the release teaser isn't in game. See ing that the game is a while off yet, it would be a bit hard to give you finished and viewable in-game gameplay or footage at this stage.
The game by all accounts is shaping up to be a great ...
If you HAD of continued reading, or actually read what he wrote, he was discussing his past experience of EARLIER GTA series not his experience of the current game, which turned out to be much better than his past playing of the series . . . do try reading, for a change, rather than assuming what someone is writing.
Just for hose who seem to enjoy saying Blogs are not websites or worthy featuring on N4G, and therefore must represent Spam or are Lame. (not) Here's just a small smattering of BLOGS that you read news from off this site, and many others every day . . . . . you'll notice that one BLOG is actually an official Xbox blog, and many others are 'normal' gaming website, albeit run on blogging software, that you probably visit every day to get your gaming news from.
So please, do wake up...
I was thinkingthat perhaps many readers on here do unfairly support one console or platform over another. And it's just been confirmed that they do.
Seriously mate, The wirter has both a PS3 and an Xbox360, he chose thegame on the 360 as he wanted the Exclusive content that will be out later this year.
He plays games on BOTH platforms and enjoys them both, but it seem you don't know that because you haven't even bothered to check it out.
All I see here...
For your information mate !!!! Most of the major gaming site and gaming news sites are - dare I say - Blogs . .or made on blog software . .
Joystiq, Destructoid, Katoku are just a few BLOG sites that are gaming oriented. Plus, a blog in the true sense of the word is a solo affair . . did even you bother to check to see that 10 (TEN) people work on that site contributing their time, effort and money to bring YOU news, reviews etc for NO return whatsoever.

@ BrianC6234 . . No, certainly do not have "issues" with Americans . .as some of our staff writers and helpers are from the US and Canada . . .
And yes, if you do a little Date line checking, you'll find we did actually get Halo 2 Halo 3, BioShock, Gaeearts of War etc (most "world wide releases) before Europe and then Nth America follows along 'after' that once the sun rises over there . . See the sun doesn't rise and fall in the US, the day actually starts in the...
Actually, Australia always gets world wide releases before Nth America . . .
The day begins in New Zealand, the East Coast of Australia hits daybreak 2 hours later, then Europe around 10 -12 hours after that, and then the East Coast of Nth America some 16-19hrs later.
So we got Halo 2, Halo 3, BioShock, Gears of War, GTAIV etc (all worldwide releases) a full 16-19 odd hours before Nth America . . But . . do you think that counts . . NO, ALL "Official Release&qu...
well saying That aint ****ing fair sure as hell sounds like crying to me . . Sure, it's a bummer, but hey, we'll get the game soon enough next week . . .it's not like the world will end before then, unless you know something the rest of us don't . . ?? Like the end of the world as we know it . . hehehehe

From all accounts, there's not that much different in the two versions really, just some lightening of different sections to make the game fit within the Aust/NZ censorship classification standards. Which is why Aust is trying hard to have the R18+ rating they use in their movies included in games. Doesn't mean all games will get through, it just means that adult themed games such as GTAIV would get through, provided they still met with the OFLC code.

And you know what, if you received you copy of a game (any game) early due to some company stuff-up, you'd be playing it as well . . . So some ( a very small number) got the game early. So did many media outlets, but they are bound by strict embargos, but normal joe-citizens are not, and so long as they are not pumping out deliberate spoilers, which these guys aren't, then there's no harm done.
Frustrating as it might be, it's life, and sometimes some get breaks, and some don't, ...
The reason for street dates is to help both large, medium and especially small bricks-and-morta stores have a fair and equal competitive stand.
Major retailers, due to their huge number of stores, get their stock upwards of 1-2 weeks early depending on their stores. They then shipp to different divisions, which then ship to individual stores, get them ready for store placement and the like.
Whereas smaller stores get a handful of copies, and usually only get those a ...
I think everyone is forgetting that Apple is already doing this, and both MS and Sony are simply following Apple in their lead on Downloadable movies and games. Yes, Apple are making inroads into DLing games and have struck patents to that affect recently. Plus signed contracts with several major publishers and developers to make completely downloadable gaming content. . .
Apples plan to use an iTunes style game delivery has been mentioned before, and was in the press not too lon...
It does come down to a form of artistic flare - especially with those specially made or very unique in their designs. Some of the cases available are stunning and extremely hard work to do, so many gamers tend to steer clear of them in general, as most are simply intent on playing games. But for those who do what something different, the faceplate and or the console skinz and or custom painting, is certainly an option.
That's because it's a Press Release . . see the Big Red print under the header bar . . it says PRESS RELEASE.
Which btw, are handed out to approved media outlets to make public in whole unedited . . . if we edit it, we get into trouble .....
Of course it's looks like and sounds like an ad, they (Epic/MGS) ARE trying to sell their game, that being Epic Studios and MGS . .
Sometimes I wonder about those who 'read (cough cough) the articles in here . . . ...
