That just makes the XNA platform that much more valuable. I still disagree with the required costs for the developer club ($99/annual or $49/quarter)-- let me make my game, then pay if I want to pursue formally making the jump to an XBLA game. But the chance to build even simple games, with my kids involved, and then have them play them on my 360 is just awesome.. gCM
Might you give a citation for this little nugget? gCM
I'd pay $75 per year just to have some reliable age restrictions of 18+, 21+, 30+... Unfortunately, with parents who buy their 10 years olds Gears would likely let them on there also (hence the "reliable"). gCM
Played the demo--no interest, especially at a full $60. If it were an XBLA title, I'm sure it would do better--may even hook my kids. gCM
Its going to be VERY sweet, especially with the flight stick, but its not going to hurt the 360. Its just good news for the PS3 if it happens--congrats if it happens. Ace isn't an exclusive that will necessarily sell (at least a LOT of) systems. gCM
would be the ultimate for the sequel. Imagine being able to plasmid-up and run through the underwater levels looking for pwnage, while also battling the Big Daddys and splicers... imagine firing off an "Enrage" at a Big Daddy while your enemy is in the room...
Though PLEASE take time on the story so its as good as the original (I know, a near-impossible feat). Gameplay-wise, absolutely loved it. And the sound... if it doesn't pick up every award for sound, something ...
and thought that COD4 looked similar (from pics/videos seen, no beta). I hope the multiplayer is just like it, except the guillea (sp?) suits look simply fantastic. Hopefully its what BF on the consoles SHOULD have been. Also, to those concerned with the beta, realize there's two more months to get maps ready, and even DLC after that. gCM
I realize its a longshot, but we can dream can't we?
Actually, its probably a TF2 demo which would still rock.. gCM
Not worth the time for my browser to display your ignorance. gCM
Wow-- this guy's my first nominee for the XBL Darwin awards!!! gCM
Yet another awesome title to take my time from my wife and kids. At least my kids can play this one. gCM
I'd expect something from their public affairs, as that is totally unreasonable. And as far as the Warhawk issue goes (disclaimer: I have a 360 and Wii, maybe a PS3 later), that truly sucks. If enough people complain (and I expect it will happen), then that will have to change, or Sony will risk their future software downloads, as no one will put up with that. Not that M$ is free of this crap--if you get a RROD, your new machine won't run the XBL Arcade games fully (non-trial) unless you ar...
I'd definitely use it to limit my kids, but is it by gamer tag, total use on a console or what? It should be configured to both. But, most parents likely won't know how to set it up, but at least its there. My wife would try and use it to limit my time on my beloved 360... gCM
Look for pushback from BestBuy, etc. gCM
to use plasmids on your buddies (lightning in the water, wasps, incendiary, etc.), have a Big Daddy attack them, or tie in the Little Sisters some way... Ken Levine hinted in an article (I forget the reference--crap) that it could be in a sequel. Also some co-op would've been nice as well for the overall campaign. gCM
I predict another 360 pricecut again around Black Friday (day after T-giving). Basic economics, any pricecut will move a product by spiking demand (though how much is dependent on a number of factors). It will put pressure on Nintendo with a $249 Core (or whatever they are calling it now with the games/256mb memory card bundle). Sony is a tough competitor (how many PS2s are out there now?), and M$ needs to go for a knock-out punch (or as close as you can get early in the match). They need to ...
Piracy sucks. Buy or rent the stupid game already, or play the demo. MHO. gCM
so I have to question how you've played this. Perhaps on the PC, but I don't give you that much credit... Ignored.. gCM
If its as good as I expect, its an instant-buy. I could care less about a story--just give me the action!! I'll be kicking your butts online soon... (more like getting my head handed to me likely) :) gCM
"I will work more hours to afford this." -- also a good one from Ken.
I love my 360s (x3), but M$ brought this on themselves. They need to get this thing rectified (to which I think they are well on their way) before it becomes anymore of a lampooned cultural icon. gCM
