that's why i only play team games with mates

that'd be freakin sweet

Yeah I think this gen, once the 'zomg HD' bullshit has died down should be driven by other stuff like, in this case, animation etc. it's not very hyped at all though. I mean, I'm hyped! I'm fuckin pumped about it! but I'm pretty much certain it had one concept preview in edge, some screenshots and now this video. Where's the rest of the hype?

I believe edge did an issue without scores once. It was quite interesting, and ddin't really change the review all that much.

son of a BITCH....

haha yeah that bit was fucking class.

Haha loved the teachers pen thing he did. A man after my own heart.

True. I was just hoping that the old school absurdist touch might make a return- not to mention the hilarity that would ensue from tanks + physics. What's the escalation then? I've seen N.O.O.S.E guys with M16s so far who are pretty tough, but they're far from the six star megadeath extravaganza of Vice City where you had cops, swat, FBI guys with ak 47s, crocket and tubbs with shotguns aaaand the army after you.

I know, I'm just really looking forward to it, especially The Joker so i'm staying clear now.

last i heard about the controls it sounded pretty intuitive: something like you steer as per usual then when you get to an obstacle, you use either a 'high' or 'low' move on the triggers to, say, vault or slide under a bar. as for the inside sections- obviously they'll be there, but if I was a dev the obvious answer to me is as simple as 'make big rooms'. Assassin's creed is, i think, a very poor comparison. For one thing, this is linear so think more like Prince of Persia. Also, all of AC's problems are from it being a shitty sandbox structure, not the control, animation or graphics.

oh right. not watching the trailer myself. Keeping a few surprises to the showing, thanks.

you're failing at the first hurlde of criticism by proving no substance to back yourself up with

well then what's the issue? he's a reviewer giving his opinion, doing it for laughs sure, but his points aren't pure fantasy. especially those about fanboys etc, not to mention the...dubious depth of the controls and the average match of smash bros.

will return once I have time

hmm, nintendo fan?

really, really should have tried that achievememt before I unlocked the whole city. oh well, I'll give it a shot once I unlock the RPG. Reckon I can fly to the top of a building, snipe and blow shit up to six stars and then fly away. btw- is six stars army territory?

it's not a shooter- more a platformer with shooting in. the emphasis definitely won't be on FPS action, rather it's just in first person.

southpaw setting permitting, this is my most anticipated game in the works. It just looks so exciting to play. Also loving the lack of emphasis on gunplay. Word is from the devs that the guns will be more like temporary power ups than an arsenal, the combat being based on evasion, disarmament and dispatching the goon in question (plus his buddies, presumably) before the ammo runs out and you ditch the empty gun while you leg it again. sounds baddass, looks sweet in practice too from the video.

GTA has trounced the Halo 3 numbers, fyi. thing is, halo is for fps and halo fans, GTA is for everyone who plays games. No single genre game can beat a game as popular, well made and multi diciplined as GTA.

This game looks sick! For those not familiar, it's a first person free running platformer game with a big emphasis on the physical presence of the female protagonist. Anyway, here's a video to better illustrate how sick it looks.

watch Platoon.

can't find it. link?

Mate's efforts from a party not too long ago.

woah. dude got bitched by acid. Quality.

I'd say Aphex Twin or Daft Punk, given the resurgence of French house last few years. Daft Punk were in the 90s, right? I'm not going mad am I...
