You guys should go download the 720p footage on Xboxyde


Couldn' t you have the courtesy to link


If i must.

Xboxyde

Blim says the servers are getting blitz' d right now so you may not get very good speeds. It' s the 720p movies you want - all 3 of them, and i would fully expect them to blow you away.

If the screens on the previous page weren' t badass enough (and Tiz, i told you there were vehicle sections!), these are even cooler...

Amazon' s release date for Gears has been the 15 to 17th for a long time. They don' t get games right away though.

Oh my!

Way off the mark...

Anyway, get those HD movies on Xboxyde downloaded Bishonen. I want to know what you think. The indoor sections remind me of RE4. The game looks breathtaking!

I heard the two vidoes besides the 10 minute one are spolier filled. I' m holding off on downloading them because of that.

Hehe... I remembered that review, and I still hope Kikizo got a descent share of Greens for writing it. Seriously, there are many times I don' t agree with a score a game gets and feel like something is overrated, but most of the times I can at least see what they' re getting at. However the thing with PDZ was that I just couldn' t get it and saw NO redeeming qualties of the game, what so ever. I was beginning to wonder if it was just due to my incompitence and failure to see beyond its faults and to a game worthy of 9.0, until I read one of those free magazines, that had given the game a 6 out of 10. And I fail to see how a game with an admittadly failed single player campaign can reach a 9... unless it' s on a scale to 100.

BTW and back on topic, I' m really in the maybe yes and maybe no mode, right now. I' m thinking of getting GoW Collectores Edition (it has to be Collectors Edition ) but it is really expensive, and the review at gametrailers said an average player could complete the game in aprox. 8 hours. Aww, F*CK IT! Ill just pre-order the damned thing!

...yeah games like GOW and FFXII are already proven must haves for me... ...after a certain point, i' ll start avoiding viewing media on must have titles like these because i don' t want to stumble across spoilers, or ' play the game out' too much before i even own it...

Well I pretty much agree with the Kikizo review of PDZ.

I wonder what John Carmack and the rest of the guys at id Software think of Gears. I know hey have a new non-fps IP in the works. If it' s 3rd person it' ll be directly compared to this, and Epic have just raised the bar far higher than most people anticipated.

id are going to struggle to sell their engines now. Source and UE3.0 are going to be the engines of choice and Gears does and exceptional job of selling Epics engine. id are going to need to pull off something miraculous. What i don' t want is any more re-hashes of old IP' s (though RTCW2 should be awesome) and i particulary don' t want Hexen 3.

They' ve lost a lot of ground to Epic though and i can' t see them catching up any time soon...



Oooh, i wanted t ask you how you think Gears will fare in Japan. I know Famitsu liked GRAW, and that 3rd person games do better than 1st person games, but will Gears make any waves there?!

Does it have " Pretty boys" wearing futuristic, yet classic armor that looks like something a prince would wear in those cute little fairytales for little girls, that for some reason bares the chest and stomach of the hero in the game? *cough* FFXII *cough*)

Or does it have sexy/cute innocent girls wearing a colorful and tight (god knows what) suit waving a magic wand, summoning beasts of he.... actually that last part could be in the game, yet I think this game will flop in Japan. Why do you wonder Majik?

Asshole

I envy you with every atom of my being.

Btw, I just cursed out a Gamestop employee because I got him to admit he' s go the game in and he still wouldn' t sell it to me even thouhg I already paid for the damn thing. I' ve never done something like that before, ever.

It' s amazing Rampage, & believe me, I' m seriously freaking suprised I actually got to play it.

A few good friends of mine had actually foregone all other plans (including work & school) to go pick the game up. So, when I got home from school, CoD:3-less I needed a pick-me-up, so I message my friends to make fun of them because they couldn' t have gotten a copy.

One of ' em he tells me to come over & suffer with him for a while. I do & when I walk into his room, lo & behold, what do I see?



Yupp... It was sw33tness.

My friend at EB straight out admitted they' ve got both the games, but he' d lose his job if he sold one to me.
I did get a call from EB telling me that I had pre ordered CoD:3... En Espanol. I don' t even live near the freaking border, I' m in Michigan as far from it, & I' m getting pre-order calls in Spanish. A little broken.

WOOT!, picking it up tomorrow...all for co-op, that games most important feature. Otherwise it would just be a rental for me. Have you guys ever played co-op with Halo on Legenday. Co-op is a blast.

Agreed x 100.

And yes Agent Ghost...Co-op kicks ass on Halo. That was the main factor behind me buying Gears of War.
