Personally, I welcome NFS's new approach mate. Instead of trying to cram 3 styles of games into one, they have taken the correct route and chosen 3 distinct ways of presenting them.
SHIFT is for the hardcore racer with a little bit of arcade mixed in with regards to using assists and other styles plus a little Grid style thrown in for good measure.
Modeled on real world cars, tracks and seasons. Being built by actual racing driver and game developers who also happen ...
Hmmm not sure HOW to answer that one mate, but I'm sure come release in October, we'll all be able to judge for ourselves, just OXCGn will have its hands on a copy sooner . . . . than later hehehe
True, and we'll be doing a review on them BOTH - without bias I might add - yes, some Xbox site do play PS3 games -odd as it sounds, just don't tell everyone, they'll have us committed.
If a section of Forza stinks, we'll say so, if the same is true of GT5, then we'll say so. If they excel, then we'll make sure ppl know about that to.
mate, I like forza 3, but I wouldn't go THAT far,you sound like the GT5 nut that said gT5 had more polygon that real life - and was serious about it . .which was quite sad actually.
A game can be good, great, excellent in fact, but it can never - ever be better than real life, that is why it's called REAL life.
Actually, he discusses the game quite deeply in fact, and those Q?'s are simply used to break the ice and lighten things up, have YOU even done a LIVE TV or recorded Interview - hmm didn't think so. She's had plenty of experience as a Fragdoll in the past mate.
And love of hate them, they are earning a shgit load more than you for LOVING games and getting into them rather than complaining about them.
Yes, I've interviewed her which we'll run soon in 3 segments, as it...
WHy bother with the Logitech if the Fantec wheel has exactly the same features (and more I'm told from the guys that have used it already).
MS had issues with Logitech with the 1st-gen console and allowing any 3rd party to build items for it. So it makes sense that they (MS) have items built now under licience to have some level of quality control. Have them built by companies that do nothing but build wheel, or Fight Sticks, or JoySticks (Flight Sticks).
MS were lou...
@ green As pointed out in the article mate, and the one on the fantec wheel, there's not one, but THREE wheels for the 360 by Fantec, and also for the PC, which means they'll also work on the PS3 (well, highly likely)
Here's the one on the fantec wheel we did LAST week ( http://oxcgn.com/2009/06/02... and you'll find a developers interview on the site in the article above an...
Try going to the SITE, mate, there's every answer there, and detailed info on the NEW Fantec Porsche 911 wheel/s for the 360. We ran an article i=on them earlier, and you'll find the link at the bottom of the article above. Shows pics of the pedal set up which looks great, and again, ships with a proper clutch.
No disrespect meant mate, but you need to start reading the info rather than quickly looking at a video without paying attention. You'll pick up way more info that way. ...
No, longer actually, add around another 8 months to that in fact. Most games have their successor being made before they are entering the the final stages of completion.
As a game ship, the next iteration is usually well under way, a break off team has begun working on assets and tech that they had to say "Enough already" on the current game" and move ahead with it so it can be completed. Otherwise, a game would never get completed (cough GT5 cough).
...
Yes mate, which is why OXCGN (I) was so adamant that there will be an announcement at Le Mans onthe 13th June, while others were saying,no, that's the release date in US etc etcetc.
Plus, Almost 16 months ago OXCGN approached the head guy here in Aus, who has a huge influence on Forza the Hey, it'd be REALLY great if we can organise a REAL Le Mans on XboxLIVE for a REAL 24 hr period.
Even sup[plied how the teams would be grouped etc etc etc.
Funny that. ...
10/10 to them for doing something different for a change, rather than having other stores make a bigger impact.
Probably the manager was more a gamer than a store-rep and simply worried about the end-of-month bottom line figures.
Showing enthusiasm for games by doing these things gets it across to many non-gamers, most of which are adults, that games ARE about adults, and that adults do enjoy playing, building, and creating art to go along with the games out these d...
Plays even better, and like Dark Witness, I also only buy games I am going to keep. This is one of them, and I'm very picky about which ones I keep.
While I loved playing Resi 5 on the day at THQ, it was this one that had me more engaged . . .and once other media reps started playing it, the focus turned to RF:G rather than Resi 5 - funny that. But we were there to do a job, look at Resi 5, so that's what the 'others' did, I stayed on RF:G hehehe.
Anyone that plays ...
The game rocks btw, we just finished our review ( http://oxcgn.com/2009/06/06... on it if anyone wants to check it out, has 3 vids and screens and personally, I found the game a blast when playing it at THQ recently.
Just love how THQ get behind their developers they represent. Street Fighter: IV is still being pushed strongly, and OXCGN has a Red Faction: Guerril...
Oh, but we know of course, that it won't work or even play on the 360 right - seems I heard that being touted around when the game was announced due to its destructible environments being so great.
I definitely remember "Some comments" from "some quarters" were even stating as fact that all that could NEVER fit on one disc, let alone even play on a 360.
God it's good to see these games continue to appear on ALL consoles and do so in spades.
...
perfect mate, love it hehehehe How can anyone 'disagree' with that comment, it's classic . .;-)
I was really really iffy about this game, but when OXCGn had a hands-on with Resi 5 earlier, THQ had RF:G sitting in a 360 at MS_Syd offices, so I thought, what the hell, let's give it a bash
I couldn't get off it. It wasn't final build or the demo, but it was excellent.
While the guys killed zombies (the walking infected - sorry) I just destroyed building with the walker and the sledgehammer. Plus the explosives were fun as well.
It's a good score for ...
I love street art, and ideally the artist put a coating of a special waterbased clear over it, That way, when needed, it can be removed later with cleaners. rather than be walked off, and then tracked through the carpet of the store etc.
Working on the pavement requires a different way of looking at things rather than using a normal art board, as your view is different and some of these art pieces are extraordinary to look at, many almost looking real.
It's great tha...
Most bloody certainly mate!!.
In V8 SUpercars 3, I find both Bathurst and Phillip Island two of the most challenging circuits. But the twists and turns of Eastern Creek can prove very challenging as well.
Even if they did get Bathurst all wrong one iteration, when it was correct in V8SC's 2, it was excellent. I think they were looking through a mirror when designing at the one in V8SC's 3 though.
We also have a huge number of gaming site climbing up the charts - fast - lately too mate heheh OXCGN is now ranked 124k globally from all websites (check Alexa.com if you need validation) and we have 9 other affiliates als working their way up.
The one thing I do love though, is when there's a Worldwide release, and we get it 18 hours before the guys in Nth America, and they go - "no, you can't, it comes out on xx/xx/xxxx!! . . and yes, they are right, thing is, Australia i...
Mate, do you actually knopw what you're talking about? Serious Q?
Polyphony has always praised its self for having THE most detailed cars on the market as far as console games are concerned, and they have had, by a mile in many cases.
As far as "real SIms go, Consoles are NOT the market for them be that on Playstation of Xbox as platforms. The REAL sims will only be found on the PC, and the 'closest thing we as console users have to a real sim is actually Race P...
