I'm not sure why, but I was expecting to read a post or excerpt from a well respected Xbox 360 community developer member, not a FORUM MEMBER such as myself.
Believe half of what you see n' none of what you hear.
Well, since I'm in the market for an Elite, I'll bid my time n' see what happens. It seems too good to be true, but I'm HOPING it is. We'll see, I don't need a 360 'til Sept. anyway, but I've gotta get one by then. Hell, they drop the Premium to 3 dollar's then I may say fk the Elite altogether.
"This is just what we as a species need to advance our humanity intellectually and compassionately."
Video games have never (n' never will be) about any of the above. Neither will they ever be about advancing the humane psyche. Video games have, and always will be, just another form of ENTERTAINMENT. The medium is no different than movies, books, television, and music. I really respect your opinion, only because you gave it in such a mature maner, that of which is...
I love it when a developer comes up with some new twist or theme to gaming. I don't remember this kinda game being done before. Sadly most the new and greatest ideas don't translate well from paper to disk. But we shall see 'eh? Since Manhunt 2's been brought into the picture I just figured I'd let it be known that I sincerely hope for R* to get a speedy move on with that game, I need it.
Am I the only one who peeped the Warthog jump the 20 ft. cliff? I gotta do that.. I'm sure it'll be a great game but an RTS? Eh...I don't know if I'm THAT much of a die hard fan.. I'll get all the books, action figures, Legendary edition Halo 3 n' all but I may actually pass on this offering.
Don't get me wrong, looks like one helluva game. I've just never played, n' prob. never will, an RTS.
Well said..
You really give the rest of us a bad name.
I haven't read all the post but I know a few are thinking MS will foul up this holiday season by offering 4 SKU's, that's not the case. What's the difference between the SE HALO Xbox n' the SE HALO 3 360? Nothing, this isn't something that will be on the market forever, it's LE n' once it's gone it's gone, just as it's predecessor. As far as why they're not including the game that's pretty obvious; there are 3 SKU's to that as well. You get whichever YOU want. It was the right move. But...
My wifey's a gamer. One of our girls an even bigger gamer than myself and her. So, yes, girls CAN play games. And proceed to kick your ass (if skillful enough...same with any male) like never before.
I mean in general I think they can't drive for shyt as well, n' always need help w/shyt, etc. etc. etc. But just as you have those few who are handy 'round the house, good drivers n' the like, you have a few who do play n' are actually good gamers.
I wont even co...
So an in-game cutscene is just like playing through the game, save that during those portions your not in control of any character. What I'm saying; it's still an accurate representation of the Halo 3 graphics engine (at this time).
I've sold both my 360's n' gotta get another before Sept. This (article) insinuates that the newly manufactured 360's have the added heatsinks just as the newly repaired 360's, I hope that's correct (for my sake). If it is true then I think we can assume they're positive they've solved the problem. Because from the article, they wont repair new 360's even if they do RROD. Seems like they've finally stepped up to the plate, it was a shame they weren't admitting n' completely ignoring this ...
N' I went ahead n' checked out the link to the Lair vid. you posted. Lair? Looks to be a very exciting game, were it for the 360, I'd probably rent it. But graphically? I mean hell, have you SEEN, let alone played GoW yet?? As of current releases theres nothing (IMO), on any console that can touch Epic's creation. Period.
I assume you call the graphics cartoonish simply because of the vibrant color pallet Bungie's artist have ALWAYS used? You have to realize that developers are just like people, in fact they are. So one developer may go for the ultra-realistic photo look, while the other will go for stunning vistas, wide open worlds, and a brighter, more energetic color pallet. You feel as tho Halo 3 can't compete, OKay, that's fine. Your entitled an opinion just as the rest of us. But try to UNDERSTAND t...
Slowly lettin' the blindfolds down I see. I think this was the right way to go about it on Bungie's behalf. Every game nowadays focus first and foremost on graphics. Bungie never really made a big deal of 'em (Halo 3) but now that the games only a couple months away we're starting to see they've not forsaken us in that department. This new single player screen as well as the screens Bungie released on the 2nd (those in particular) are fk'n insane. I think they may have purposefully left ...
Lord knows I played the original Twisted Metal into the ground. N' fella's, there's already a Twisted Metal 4. Was released on the PS1 in '99 (never did beat that game...). Black for the PS2 was OKay, never quite recaptured that feeling the same way tho.
Anyone remember Vigilante 8? I had a lotta fun with that title as well, but that's just me. The environments and the role they played in the chaos was brilliant.
The July GI cover story on Fallout3 was a good read, n' the screens look very promising even it's over a year away. Though I'm new to the Fallout franchise I'm keeping a close eye on this'n.
I agree, tho I knew from the jump this was a title to pre-order n' not wait on. The city, the people, everything seems to be very ALIVE n' that's what they've been promising n' what I was hoping R* would deliver on. From the looks of it they have. They've really created a living, breathing, thinking city, props for that. The first trailer LOOKED better (n' since WHEN has the GTA series ever been about LOOKS? Am I the only one who remembers how AWFUL the GTA series was graphically on last...
I ran into someone who disagree's with me intelligently on this site.
But using your logic Watkins (and the game you brought into this as well), the original Getaway on the PS2 should have sucked graphically no? Either that or the GTA series (while a PS2 exclusive) should have looked as beautiful as The Getaway did back then. The Getaway may look much better because it's being developed by a different team with different goals, engines, talent, and objective than that of GT...
I was shocked at how poor the screens looked, but I believe the game will resemble their videos (and Table Tennis, which was awesome n' uses the same RAGE engine) more than the screens. However, they're not looking poor because of the 360, that makes no sense when the 360 pushed a graphic powerhouse such as GoW. N' how would it look better had it been a PS3 exclusive? Oh, the same way the GTA series absolutely blew everyone away with it's poor graphics while it was a PS2 exclusive??
it is possible n' yes, it WILL happen. They ARE working on integrating these chips into 360's. Has it happened yet? I doubt it. N' when it does happen, will they just ship truckloads of the things off to repair factories? I doubt it. They'll eliminate the 90nm, manufacture with the new 65nm, and repair current RROD's with the added heatsinks until there's nothing but 65nm models on shelves. I'm sorry, I'm just not taking confirmation from some dude tellin' another dude this n' that. A...
