shenmue 3- JUST KIDDING CAP!
One day you're gonna anounce this again and it's gonna be true. And I'm gonna say "no f**king way!" :D

Unfortunately, I don't think it's going to happen. Kojima announced a couple of months ago that he has no intention of releasing any future MGS games on the Xbox. :(

i dunno, didnt you see that bit someone ripped off of the making of wer eit showed for a second a 360 development kit on his desk?:sneaky:

gears 2 november

i got a buddy from work who has been all over me about only playing through the first level of gears of war. i liked it, but was in a halo trance at the time. i've been meaning to get around to it, but he wants to go through the campaign together on co-op, and he's the only dude i know with a copy.

Don't forget Left 4 Dead! Geometry Wars 2 and Castle Crashers both come out within the next couple of months for Live Arcade, too. That Final Fantasy XIII announcement was pretty shocking, I thought Sony would've locked that one down as exclusive.

Ah, it's a good time for gaming.

Edit: Here's a new Left 4 Dead video from E3 today...they re-did all 4 of the survivor's designs, they look much better:

Damnit, now I have to decide which version of Final Fantasy 13 to buy. Remember back in the day when we used to have a variety of exclusives? I miss those days.

[Danny]

dude. achievements. thats the only difference, if that can stretch out a final fantasy game, like "get every summon: 20pts" and the like it could make it more fun in the long run.

[capncnut]

What can I say about FF on the 360? My pants are smeared.

Also, I pretty much think that's the PS3 over and done with. I mean if GTAIV and Metal Gear cant boost sales to maximum effect...

Damn! :stunned:;)

[slickwilly13]

Achievements or not, I have to go with the one that performs the best and/or better content. Now I have to due research on both versions and instead of buying the PS3 version as originally planned.

Probably get points for beating hidden bosses. They always seem to have a hidden boss that is tougher than the last guy. Most rpgs now days do.

[Danny]

actually there both exactly the same.

[MinionZombie]

And, despite no official release date yet, quite possibly Alan Wake - the pure excuse to "smear your pants", to riff on Capn's vernacular. :D

Damn that game's gonna pwn arse up and down the block when it busts out.

[ProfessorChaos]

any news on resident evil 5? did they make any announcements about it at e3?

EDIT: 800th post! now i shall continue twitching.

[Danny]

resi 5, friday the 13th of march 2009.

[slickwilly13]

If they are the same, then 360 for points.

[DeadJonas190]

The only advantage the PS3 has over teh Xbox360 right now is that it has a Blu Ray player built in. Other than that one thing and Metal Gear Solid 4 there is no reason to get a PS3 anymore, especially after the past couple days announcements at E3.

Eh. I'd like it if Resident Evil would f'in go back to ZOMBIES. I don't like these chainsaw wielding maniacs and townspeople with axes. I'll still buy it, though.

gotta agree...as much as i enjoyed resident evil 4, and am looking forward to re5, it's a completely different series now.

truthfully, i think re5 looks like an exact copy of re4, with slightly better graphics and a different environment/village. the same "octopus head" (to quote someone from this site, not sure who) villagers, another dimunitive cackly-voice little creep who most likely turns into a giant oozing pile of eyeballs and tentacles, chainsaw freaks, etc. as a matter of fact, i doubt i'll purchase re5, now that i realize it's basically re4 all over again.

they really should go back to their roots....i would love a revamped version of re2 with next-gen graphics and gameplay, online features, and achievements. i'd probably buy that over re5.

that cartoon...am i correct in assuming that it is representing microsoft, nintendo, and sony, respectively (left to right)?

oh yeah, and i only know one person who owns a ps3 (aside from people on this site who say they own one).

[Danny]

i would actually love them to do one like resi 2 but with those level graphics and do it as a live arcade download. like maybe outbreak-lite on live?

[ProfessorChaos]

maybe outbreak-lite on live?

fu(k yeah, dude. a proper online game, a la resident evil: outbreak, with kiler co-op, lots of zombies, achievements, weapons, vehicles, etc. and a mode similar to "infinite mode" from dead rising meets free-roam of gta4.

Yup, with you on this. The video might be all flash and glossy (with great in-game shots btw) but all I was saying to myself was, "this isn't Resident Evil". :(

[kidgloves]

Some great footage and opinions on both RES5 and Fallout 3
