i have to disagree heavily.

for starters, the tone and art style not similar. If anything the overall look is more akin to devil may cry.

the setting is completely different.

the screen-shot of the protagonist climbing the leg of the rock chick is more like shadow of the colossus then god of war.

the second monster like character is more like this guy from ninja gaiden 2.

i think the 'near hd quality' is misleading.

I don't doubt that the graphics might be in line with what we see on some current consoles (wii games...), but it's at the sacrifice of IQ. The same concept applies to the psp, people say they look as good as PS2 games, but you're dealing with a substantially smaller image quality, blow the resolution up you're not near what the ps2 was producing.

just make sure it's worth a full box release.

didn't MS release the wingman controller in 1998, and le stick http://classicgames.about.c... was the first motion controller ever.

Nintendo... talk about kettle calling pot black.

some interesting stuff people are doing with dx11 compute shaders. I have no doubt that these types of improvements will slowly start penetrating realtime graphics, if not towards the end of this generation the beginning of the next.

I fully expect thi4f to be on 360 and ps3 as well as PC.

joy ride was supposed to be free, i don't really see them trying to compete with modnation if that's still the case.

just because mass effect, fallout and to a lesser extent boaderlands, pull off a proper 'rpgs' with tps/fps qualities, doesn't mean that that all rpgs are destined to fallow suite.

It seems like a lot people want to call mass effect a tps, but the reality is that it's an RPG first, just because the main mechanic is a weapon that shoots projectiles doesn't mean it's automatically a shooter first. If they remade mass effect, gave the main character a swo...

the only way I'll buy natal is if it fits into the following categories:

1-a control scheme that can't be done anywhere else, not on touch surfaces, not with wii like motion controls, not with a mouse or gamepad, something completely new.
2-a game comes out that's not like anything ever attempted before, and it's only possible with natal.
3-said game makes use of all of natal's functions, it's motion controls/tracking, it's voice re...

what about nintendo, and it's sale of rare?
or their backstab to sony which lead to the development of the ps1?

What about kojima and squaresoft?

for some stupid reason it only selected negative ms/xbox 'betrayals'.

bad article is bad.

the team mode gametypes in halo reach are extremely team oriented. I think quit banning is a great fix.

People are also forgetting that the game types will be a lot more varied come reach's release. I'm sure team swat, team slayer, mlg, and team objectives will be separate gametypes like in halo 3.

those people that quit most, were the ones who quit because they didn't like the gametype, they can just avoid it in rach.

the deal is pretty much identical to the the gears of war contract between MS and Epic. This means that bungie can still make other games in the meantime, and have other publishers distribute the games (like ut3 with epic). They'll have development costs covered, marketing costs covered, and at the end of 10 years they can go to any publisher and license out the franchise to them.

Plus they'll have the support of Activision Blizzard, and with rumors the game being an MMO there's ...

mgs was supposed to be the one and only mgs game, then he claimed the fans wanted another... and another... and another... and well, now he's got 2 more on the way.

Bungie still owns the IP, so after that 10 year deal is done, they can make that IP for any other publisher if they wanted.

The bosses at bungie are extremely Smart, bungie is going to be rolling in the dough for the next 10 years, no liability, no consequences. They're going to take advantage of every ounce of support that activision can give and all of it free. At the end of those 10 years, they'll break free again and tbqh I wouldn't put it past them to start publishing their ...

it's not so much for the beta, but for odst and access to the beta, which it it spurs sales then there's no reason for MS not to do it.
