From the sounds of things it seems that GRAW2 will be released on 360, PS3
and Wii...
Ubi president, Yves Guillemot issued a statement following the healthy financial, stating, " Ubisoft managed to take full advantage of Microsoft' s Xbox 360 and should now benefit from the much awaited PlayStation 3 and Wii launches.
LINK Now, if it' s an expansion like Summit Strike then surely PS3 will get the original + this in one bundle...
THAT would be awesome for PS3 owners that missed out on the 360 version, but it would also surely mean that the 360 version would be released at a reduced price.
If it' s a proper sequel, abeit using the same engine (which holds it' s own against UE3.0 if you compare GRAW and RB6:V), with a similar length and a ton of new online stuff and new gameplay features/better graphics/better physics etc then PS3 probably wouldn' t get the original GRAW.
I am expecting it to be an expansion, but they' re calling it GRAW2 which is confusing.
If it' s an expansion then it better not be full price. It needs to be set in a different location and provide enough new content to make it worth buying.
The Wii version could be like the PS2/Xbox/PC versions of GRAW and completely 1st person, or it could be over the shoulder (my personal preference) like the 360 version. Either way, after hearing that the Wii version is marginally more impressive than the PS2 version i' m not expecting much.
Now, if only Sony and Microsoft could sort out some sort of cross-platform service so i could wipe the floor with Sony flavoured GRAW newbs!
Doesnt GRAW give you the option? My demo has 1st & 3rd person options. 3rd is the only way to go though in my opinion.
Yeah but the 1st person perspective is just a crosshair, ...there' s no weapon visible like in the PC, PS2 and Xbox versions. But since the 360 version is the only one with the awesome 3rd person view then it' s all good.
What i' m saying is that it' d be nice to be able to play GRAW2 in 3rd person like the 360 version or 1st person like the PC version, although the cover mechanic wouldn' t work properly unless the 1st person view switches to 3rd like RB6:V...
Any of you tested the Rainbow Six demo? If so, any good?
Not on my 360 but i played it for a while at Microsoft' s Games Tour and was extremely happy with it. In fact, it' s overtaken Gears as my most anticipated title for the rest of the year. I' m obviously Clancy biased...
