DiemetriX Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 damn. you guyz are a hour ahed of me (i live in a 1+ gmt zone)
Guest Jordan Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 Thats weird Matt, Far Cry on PC was originally developed to have super good AI in mind... and thats whats achieved only FEAR has surpassed it since.
Matt Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 Really? Because the AI is HORRIBLE. The IGN review probably says it better than I could. The LIVE ply seems pretty solid, though. The vehicles are ace!
rokhed00 Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 Looks like the rumours of Top Spins 2 delay were exaggerated, it's on the shelves in the US. http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/10603/Top-Spin-2-Hits-the-Court/ Should be ok for europe next week then.
CompSci Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 Picked up Farcry today! I didn't play it on PC or Xbox, so the game is totally new to me. The gameplay seems pretty nice, and the island is a fun place to have the game take place on. But, unfortunately, what sticks out is that it looks like an Xbox game! There's nothing (apart from the water) that makes the game stand out from the previous generation. I know this shouldn't matter, and it's the gameplay and story that's important - but all the textures are REALLY low-resolution and the trees and plants (of which there are lots) look frankly embarrasing. Enemys don't react when hit by bullets. All that happens is a small spurt of blood. Hmmm. But, I'm really looking forward to getting into the game, and I'm sure the multiplayer will be a blast! 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 ,
Matt Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 I didn't realise that the second part would have better graphics!?! That seems a bit strange! Oh well. Getting into it, now. But the AI really puts me off quite a bit. I think once you get over the visuals, thats the only thing that really nags at you. And the water really DOES look lovely.
rokhed00 Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 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 , That's weak, understandable in a way, but still really weak.
Guest Jordan Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 Indeed, that is a pretty weak excuse. I might pick it up, review pending though.
1UP Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 if u cba to finish it to unlock it, theres already a cheat code out ... Man, the GRAW demo .. i havent even had a chance to play it .... wtf with this waiting till round is over ... =(
CompSci Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 That's weak, understandable in a way, but still really weak. trust me, play far cry Instincts, and then you will know why many people would to want to play it again
CompSci Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 Trust me, play Far cry on the PC. It's much better. well only until the end of the game, to which u have to become neo with super reflex's to complete it
1UP Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 well only until the end of the game, to which u have to become neo with super reflex's to complete it Haha, thats true... the last level was really hard. The online was pretty shit too ...
Owen Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 Far Cry for 360, ain't bad at all really! I agree with the A.I being extremely thick and the foilage being a little rough, but other then that i'm really enjoying it. Oh and the map editor rocks! Although your only allowed to plant 800 trees/plants and it just isn't enough for the space your allowed! Overall? I reckon it deserves a 7.5 at least. :awesome:
Hero-of-Time Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 I have been playing Blazing Angels today, I loved the demo so I picked the full game up. Its pretty intense on some of the missions with many a plane flying around you. I also like the Ace mode where its you 1-on-1 with a german Ace Pilot you have to try and take him down. Overall so far im really enjoying it even though it does have a bit of screen tearing here and there.
Hero-of-Time Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 I want it but there is many a game coming out like Top Spin, Football Manager and Tomb Raider. I heard its a pretty long game so I will pick it up when the summer drought is upon us so I can give it the attention it deserves.
Stocka Posted March 31, 2006 Author Posted March 31, 2006 I heard the Kameo co-op update is tonight/tommorow... so look out for it people.
Meik Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 I heard the Kameo co-op update is tonight/tommorow... so look out for it people.Where did you read that? I hope that shit is true.
DiemetriX Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 Where did you read that? I hope that shit is true. I read it on 360updates.com
CompSci Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 I heard its a pretty long game so I will pick it up when the summer drought is upon us so I can give it the attention it deserves. yes excatly, however once i get far cry and tomb raider the summer drought will begin for me.
The3rdChildren Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 OH NO, XBOX LIVE HAS BEEN CANCELLED FOREVER. I'LL SHOW PROOF LATER. WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO NOW?
ZeldaFreak Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 OH NO, XBOX LIVE HAS BEEN CANCELLED FOREVER. I'LL SHOW PROOF LATER. WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO NOW? What a nice April fool's good one almost fell for it
Hero-of-Time Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 I was playing Blazing Angels today and was getting owned in a dogfight so i slapped on DangerZone from my harddrive off the Top Gun soundtrack...worked wonders
