Looking good!
I only hope the frame rate will be decent, as that seems to be problem with many of the better looking 360 games. Any word on anisotropic filtering, are they using it and if they are at what setting? I am also curious as to what resolution the game runs at? Some 360 games, like PGR3, run at lower resolution and then are upscaled to 720P. I can only hope that this game runs at a native 1280 x 720!

Thanks for the quick reply!
Looks worthy of buying.

Huh???
So your judging your decision of whether or not you purchase the game based on how pretty it looks and how smooth it runs??
It seems to me too many people just *assume* the game with rock because it looks pretty.. So far i've seen enough of the game being played at E3 to let me know it definitely won't stink but to what determines exactly how good the game will play..?
So far i've heard so little about the gameplay surrounding this title that it leaves me quite concerned.. I hope the entire game won't be running through several levels ducking and shooting all the way without anykind of variation or at least a strong enough narrative to keep the action fresh and avoid monotonous play..
The description of he gameplay seems almost *too* simple which leads me to expect either the game will play well for a short 8-10 hrs and then finish, or play for a good 20 hrs where the first 8 are fun and then afterwards the game degenerates into tedium..
I pray I'm wrong becuase a killer app is just what the Xbox360 needs right now to warrant me to pick one up in a few months time, I just don't see, from the info we have so far whether GoW will actually live upto peoples expectations and deliver a fulfilling experience which everyone seems to *assume* it will purely from gawking at the eye candy..
*shrug*
They need to walk a fine line with this game, of not burning people out by showing too much. I dont want to feel I've seen the whole game. I want to see some new areas when I'm actually playing it.
Which I think they are doing well so far mind you. They've probably masterfully managed the hype. I just hope they continue to hold plenty back.
This game shows how important graphics are because really, graphics are pretty much the main reason why far and away it's the most hyped holiday 360 title.
My brilliant strategy for MS goes like this:
Drop premium SKU (simplify things).
Drop HDD add-on price to $50 (basically the same price as a memory card, to ensure high HDD adoption rates for Live).
Pack in Gears with the core pack, and drop price to $249.
OK it'll never happen, but I think it'd be pretty killer.
The biggest single drawback is all the money they'd leave on the table from unsold Gears copies since it would be a pack in. But hell, throwing away money to gain market share is supposed to be what microsoft is good at.
Also anybody know the source of these? Or is that top secret? When I saw the headshot GIF, I assumed there was a new video to go with the new screens, kinda disappointing that there is not.

I was talking of those released 07-20-2006, I was sorry for nAo, he is a very fine person, but I really dislike the visual quality of the game

[edit]
just compare with this:
[/URL][/IMG]
I've touched colors, light balance, aliasing, lost detail on the floor, some shadows, some bright zones
[/edit]
models are low-poly or low-detail, some detail as hair are so bad that is really disturbing, the shadows are 'wrong' (look to the leg of lady), the overall sensation is of 'fake reality', there's something wrong with the color's variations of flesh
but I know that they are working hard on this game, maybe for the moment of release they will fix all of this
That a pr shot? This is what deanoC said about those pr shots a few months back------
To be honest, this is largely human nature. We genrally warm towards what we find attractive but only stay with / it / her / him providing it / her / him has depth that can keep us drawn or hooked. everyone does that, even you (dont even try to deny you dont !). So really I find your point invalid.
Of course there exceptions to the rule. Like tetris amongst others. You could liken that to a guy who went out with a fat bird, but found she had a great personality and was good in bed.... it makes up for it !
edited several times as im tired and cant type today !

SoFII level violence? You know, you kill someone run up to them take out your knife and chop them to little pieces? That was great!
The blood from the headshot is just so awesome, I'd love for that to happen while playing, it gives you a nice rush and makes you feel you did good. The better the shot the more blood there should be!
