pre-X06 MEGATON precognition chronicle

[Qroach]

Did anyone notice the CG-fest in that conference?

Holy hell.

Not really, but I did notice that they didn't try to play it up like the CG was in game footage

 

[rabidrabbit]

Ya did you notice how no one is stupid enough to think it's realtime, and no one is raving about teh amazing power of 360? Funny eh?

Had it been for the Halo 3, I'm sure many would've

 

[Qroach]

Had it been for the Halo 3, I'm sure many would've

Why? when previous teaser was done in real time.

 

[rabidrabbit]

So you're ready to admit had you not know the Halo Wars trailer was for Halo Wars, a RTS, you'd said it was a realtime for Halo3?

I know I would have been unsure.

WOW... great conference... Gears looks much improved... smooth as silk and the XBL Arcade stuff is insane... all my favorite games of the past are coming!! :smile:

they are really delivering on their promises to provide some serious games/content

$199 with an HD DVD movie and remote is pretty sweet too.. I'm going to have to grab one now...

 

[rabidrabbit]

Ok, now would someone please link me to the full conference, as the one I watched must've been severely cut.
I saw no Gears footage at all in the video I viewed

Ridiculous, that is so obviously CG it's not even funny.

What? dude you're really stretching. Yes MS used CG and no they didn't play it out like it was realtime game footage. that's teh point i was making. Its as simple as that.

Now if you want to get hypothetical... Why would i be fooled now (even if I didn't know it was a halo wars RTS) when nothing sony showed last year as realtime (I was one of the first to say it was CG) didn't fool me?

It was so obviously CG, and so obviously Blur studio's work...

Kane & Lynch trailer (NOW on XBL marketplace) looks insane :smile:

1. Why do people who hate MS/X360 buy X360 and then complain about it for a whole year?

2. This conference was amazing. MS really pulled out all the stops for the western market.

2007:

Lost Planet
Forza 2
Mass Effect
Bioshock
Assassin's Creed
Blue Dragon
Eternal Sonata
Too Human
GTA IV w/exclusive content
Halo 3

That's an absolutely amazing line-up and I'm probably forgetting a few.

Ya ok, you hold onto that hope. You are right technically, we don't know, though realistically, it seems fairly obvious that 360 will have the definitive version of GTA, unless they make 2 different versions of the game which is unlikely.

exactly it bears repeating that the online episodic content is huge and is Exclusive to 360.

 

[Carl B]

exactly it bears repeating that the online episodic content is huge and is Exclusive to 360.

Well, I'll also repeat though that that online content is exclusive to MS...

The other online content might be exclusive to Sony.

I just seriously doubt Rockstar would pass up the chance to bring in additional revenues via the PS3 segment of their GTA IV population.

fair enough XB but we don't have any official announcement of that yet so... my 'repeat' holds more water.

Yeah, but we've seen already the majority of those at TGS. So there was less news and new footage. Basically the was no big megaton, so don't expect people to lose their mind. It was a solid show, though.

 

[NBK-Steve]

Awesome conference! I have been to E3 and to CES and they was the best conference I have seen. Great footage of Asassins Creed (in-game), Bioshock (cut scene), Gears of War (better frame rate), Lost Odessy (not my type of game though), and that HALO WARS Trailer just AWESOME!

Bravo MS!
