Denial It’s not just a river in Egypt

no its true, in the setting on the PC vr the next gen gfx setting runable, but i been told there will be a patch that will be released on April 7th the will unlocked the content, however if you are creative u can get the full game right now, and yes the next gen gfx difference is clearly noticeable, a example would be if your compared king kong on the PC @ max to the one on the 360, major difference PC Vr with next gen setting xbox 360 vr

LOL, when i said the game sucked on so many levels, i didn't mean the actual levels in the game i meant it sucked in all respects in what it was trying to do in the single player portion of the game so many times in the PC demo i tryed to do a wall run and tried to find the button to rewind time lol, also too all who do not have a 7900gt, get the 360 vr due to the fact that the next gen setting on the PC, requires a VERY powerful PC, so it best to get the 360, unless you already have a powerful PC

if i were you, i would not play the single player portion because it sucks on so many levels

Man, gamestation are robbing arse holes, i mean £25 trade in for PD0 Lmt Edition, plus £49.99 for oblivion standard edition WTF? scam artist i am never ever going gamestation again

yes excatly, however once i get far cry and tomb raider the summer drought will begin for me.

well only until the end of the game, to which u have to become neo with super reflex's to complete it

trust me, play far cry Instincts, and then you will know why many people would to want to play it again

farcry instincts predictor contains 2 games, now Far cry Instincts, is basically a port of the Xbox vr with advance water effects, however the farcry next chapter (which is unlocked after completing farcry instincts, is the new game to which it was built somewhat with he 360 in mind, thus u will have better GFX that will exceed those of the original instincts, the only criticism that every one has, is the far cry next chapter game is not unlocked at the beginning, thus every one who has played the xbox vr of instincts will have to play the 360 vr in order to unlock the new content ,

:bouncy: :bouncy:

To every one living in birmingham, the speed upgrade that telewest promised us, are all done, enjoy the new speeds

its called exchange rates, heres a example i brought a french xbox 360 premium (yes it plays all UK games, check out my sig) with a free game for Euro240 (£260), http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=112848&item=8257077937 it was second hand, yes i know what you are thinking right now but however heres the beauty, i rang M$ due to the dvd side of the 360 was having probs so i sent it back, after 3 days i got sent a BRAND NEW 360, unopend and unplayed it still even had the see thru cover on the ir port and the dvd tray, pretty cool for £230 - (minus the game) so the moral of this tale is that make sure u look at auctions for different conturies and view the exchange rates

BLAZING ANGELS DEMO IS OUT

i brought a x850xt pe for £200 brand new in January, the RRP was £400, like i said if u look hard enough u can get it now for atleast £150

ebay my friend,

if u look very hard u can get a x850xt pe, which run the game no probs

oh well, i will be "getting" the Pc vr in less then 5 h

delayed again, oh well i just hope my uni's MSDN lisence allows me do download the ultimate edition

has any one ordered from asda online before?, if so do u get a new releases a day early? WHERE FROM?

that was due to marrowind being a straight port from the pc to the xbox, however oblivion was made from the ground up for the xbox 360 and specifcaly take advantage of the features it offers, thus it will be better optimised and more smooth even with HDR and AA/Af enabled at the same time, the 360 vr will be equivalent to the PC vr at max settings,

meh it doesn't even connect to WMC x86, shoddy programming

Got this from Xbox forums on Xbox.com **WARNING** The Actual Article (At the bottom of this post) is a pretty long read - around 10 or so paragraphs. I suggest reading it but I have put some of the highlights below. Since it is so long, please don't quote the first post. Sorry for any typos as I typed it up myself since you can't upload scanned magazines here at the xbox forums. Thanks Highlights * Halo 3 isn't currently called Halo 3. In fact, it doesn't even have halo in the name - it is called Forerunner or halo forerunner * It will include HUGE environments. * It will be somewhat open - i.e. A mission where you have to go invade/destroy an armory will determine how much weaponry you have for the next mission and how much the opposing forces will have. * Will have a definite mission structure - but still be somewhat open. * 4 Player Co-Op * A gameinformer source (not named) HAS SEEN THE GAME IN ACTION. He also explains that the reason Bungie says there is no Halo 3 is because it will most likely be called "Forerunner" The Article "Is it true that there will be no Halo 3? If you ask bungie or Microsoft the current answer will be, "Yes." In fact, at the time of this writing, both companies have flat-out denied that Halo 3 even exists. And yet the game has not only been the constant subject of talk and rumors by both fans and the industry itself online retailers have thrown up bogus release dates from time to time to stir up the masses. How can a game that supposedly doe snot even exist be speculated about so much? We know that Bungie is working on various projects, and despite employment advertisements asking that applicatants love "combat on the high seas," Game Informer has learned through its network of industry spy pirates that Bungie's next release will be a Halo Xbox 360 project. However, as of now, it's not even called Halo 3. The relentless confusion over Halo 3 starts with the powers that be at Bungie. Shortly after the release of Halo 2, the company's studio manager Pete Parsons told the BBC, "After Halo 2 we are planning to do something different. We will do something else and we have a few ideas." This led the public to the logical conclusion that the next project wouldn't be Halo-related. None other than Microsoft's Bill Gates himself put down the gauntlet on Halo 3 and seemingly confirmed the game's existence in the spring of 2005 when he told Time that he game would release alongisde and compete with Sony's Playstation 3. Gates would later recant this ex act release date of the game but didn't deny the project existed. That job has instead been left to others such as Microsoft Game Studios head Shane Kim who dubbed the game "the mythical Halo 3" in a February update of the website Next Generation. And, of course, all the while Bungie has held the course that Halo 3 does not exist. In its customarily clever way, Bungie is not telling a lie - it's just not telling you the whole truth. A well-connected Game Informer source has seen this game up and running and tells us that the project is dubbed Forerunner (and no, this is not an April Fool's joke). At this time the game is not being called Halo 3, which is perhaps how Bungie has been able to deny the existence of a title that literally bears the name "Halo 3." Of course, when all is said in done, the game could be officially dubbed Halo 3: Forerunner or some variation thereof. It is very common for a game in development to be tagged with a temporary codename. For the time being, however, our source tells us that it's being referred to simply as Forerunner. We contacted Microsoft about the game, but it would not comment on "rumor or speculation." The game is being designed around huge persistent worlds that will be created with what we're being told as a modified Halo 2 engine. "Big" is the operative word, and many aspects of the title will be affected by the large scale of the game. For instance, Forerunner will showcase four player co-op in a move away from a strict linear single-player experience. Make no mistake about it , though, Master Chief is the game, and gamers will play as him to drive along the story. however, the world itself and the events that draw from it will be more malleable to the player and any co-op friends that join in on the action. If you are charged to capture a weapons depot, for instance, you might not choose to do it, or may fail trying. Although our source says the game still has a definite mission structure, your failure at this particular task will mean that wh atever extra firepower may have been yours for the taking had you caputred the depot will instead strengthen your enemies from then on. This cause/effect concept applies to the game's destructible environments as well. Of course, the philosophy is nothing new in video games, but it clearly embraces Bungie's love of multiplayer and the lessons learned from the series' success online. We imagine that these tidbits are surely only the tip of an iceberg that hopefully includes plans to merge the offline and online worlds together to great effect. We're told t he game's storyline will delve into the origins of the Forerunners, the long-absent, technologically advanced civilization that inspired the Covenant's Great Journy. Up to this point, the Forerunners are a mysterious element within the Halo story that has yet to be fully explained. However, the pots of Halo and Halo 2 imly taht humans, the Master Chief, and the Forerunners are linked, but with as little we know about the actual plot of this upcoming project, we don't know how everything is going to fit together. Although our source has seen the Chief in action, even his presence could only be half the truth. After all, this is from the company that surprised everyone with the introduction of the Arbiter as a playable character in Halo 2. Bungie's denials that Hlo 3 exists have led fans to surmise that he compnay says so simply because the next Halo project doesn't involve an actual halo, unlike the first two titles. That would make sense, given what our source has told us regarding the game's focus on the Forerunners. However, that does not preclude the title from picking up where Halo 2 tantalizingly ended - with the M aster Chief returning to Earth with a mandate to kick some ***. The project could also be aligned with the Halo movie s cheduled for release in the summer of 2007, which has Peter Jackson at the helm as executive producer. Our source tells us that he film will be based on the book Halo: THe Fall of Reach, chronicling a time leading up to the first game. If the mysterious Forerunner project is in fact related to the movie, then perhaps the video game's title could not only refer to the civilization, but to the game being a prequel set during the early part of humanity's war with the Covenant. --- Xbox Live Gamercard http://live.xbox.com/member/segagamer My collection: http://users.ign.com/collection/Sega_Gamer From: Sega_Gamer | Posted: 3/16/2006 3:07:06 PM | Message Detail | #003 Clearly there are more questions remaining than have been answered with the information we've brought to light. Does this Forerunner project actually mean there won't be a legitimate Halo 3? Could there be a game called Forerunner and an entirely other project entitled Halo 3? What if Forerunner is simply a side project meant to explorer storyline t angentswithin the Halo universe? If "Forrunner" is indeed the actual name of the game our source has seen, and not simply a temporary codename, we can't imagine a Halo product leaving Bungie's doors without a Microsoft marketing executive slapping the word "Halo" somewhere on the box for maximum effect. As alawys in the development process, there are myriad aspects that can change at any moment. But for the time being, our source has assured as that the tantalizing snippets that have come our way are indeed true. Whether or not they point to the whole truth is something we won't know until Microsoft pulls back the curtain on the project at E3. Bungie clearly delights in winding up the public, so we wouldn't at all be surprised if what we know now are merely isolated pieces of a larger puzzle that Bungie has cleverly constructed. Regardless, any project from the developer is a big deal and one that's guaranteed to get fans e xcited, regardless of what it's finally called." Whew that was a pain to type. Once again, sorry for any typos as I typed it up myself since you can't upload scanned magazines here at the xbox forums.
