Xbox 360 Console Discussion

Which i cant wait for if its true, but a star wars one. with lightsabers, and podracing would be absolutely awesome. Have differenct planets on the game, being able to fly there aswell. Buy a spaceship, and travel like in Oblivion. Space ports would be cool. Damn i wish this game would come about.

 

You tried KOTOR? Has a few of the things you said.

 

Would now be a good time to buy a 360?

[rokhed00]

 

Its a mixture of Armada and Bridge Commander. So, half-RTS.

 

Looks better than Armada anyway, I'll probably give it a go then.

Is there a release date for it yet? It was intended to coincide with the 40th anniversary which was last month but I can't find a date for it anywhere or a site taking orders for it.

Hmm, I would maybe get one of the bundles at Christmas, then Gears of War and Splinter Cell will be out!

It seems i nthe FAq there is no mulitplayer, should iget the PC or xbox version.....It actually sounds and looks good. I'm sure ive seen it somewhere on the xbox, cant remember which store to go back to.

I'll probably get the xbox version, im not much of a pc game player nowadays.

Yeah no multiplayer but its a pretty good single player. I've got the 2nd on PC which i'm going to sell soon.

 

The PGR3 bundle (£300) looks really good, comes with a extra wireless controller aswell and I can get GRAW for £25. Is that the best option?

[Chuck]

In GAME theyve got a premium pack for £280 and then you can buy 2 games from a selection of recently new ones (inc saints row) for £20 a pop

[Ashley]

Game's deals (all premium ones);

 

360 + PRG + 2 Wireless pads + either The Outfit or Tomb Raider = £300

360 + PRG + 2 Wireless pads + 1 game from list (later) = £320

360 + PRG + 2 Wireless pads + 2 games from list (later) = £340

360 + Any Two Games = £345

 

List;

Just Cause

Table Tennis

Saints Row

Lego Star Wars

99 Nights

Prey

Two other games I can't remember

 

As there will be Gears of War and Pro Evo packs similar to the PGR one come Christmas, I wouldn't be surprised if similar offers happened.

[That Guy]

Does anyone else find Xbox360 games to be too dark? And I don't mean all the time (otherwise I'd check my TV...), just sometimes when it gets dark, I really can't in front of me. I've just played Burnout and in some dark bits its really annoying. Same with PGR3 and Oblivion. Anyone else find this?

Would GRAW be in the list? Also do you mean two pads as in 1 pad in the box and 1 pad extra? or 1 pad in the box and 2 pads extra?

[Mr. Bananagrabber]

We've heard nothing about the UK release date for Trek yet.

But I imagine (hope) it won't be far behind the US one.

Please, OH GOD PLEASE, SHOW ME CONFIRMATION

According to Epic VP Mark Rein, who has been speaking at the GDC London today.

 

Speaking to an audience of developers at GDC London today, the often outspoken Rein said: "Sony says the next generation starts when they say so. I say, that's bullshit. Gears of War is the first second-generation game for Xbox 360 and it looks very fine. You will never see launch titles that look this good."

 

Rein also shot down reports claiming that Gears of War will be a short lived single-player experience at only 10 hours. "Someone said that at TGS but they were wrong," said Rein. "If you're on the development team and you've played it 30 times then sure, you can get through it in ten hours but for first time players it's going to be at least 12 hours."

 

Although undoubtedly Microsoft's key title this holiday season, there's still a lot of secrecy surrounding Gears of War, and it looks likely to remain that way until the game is released.

 

"We've shown this game quite a few times but we are trying to counteract all the hype now because we want people to know there is a lot in there that hasn't been seen before. People will get this home and find a lot of surprises," Rein said.

 

Gears of War is scheduled for release in North America on November 12 and on November 17 across Europe.

[Bren]

HMV, Premium 360 + PGR3 + TABLE TENNIS + WIRELESS CONTROLLER = £300!

 

bargain

[Ashley]

Would GRAW be in the list? Also do you mean two pads as in 1 pad in the box and 1 pad extra? or 1 pad in the box and 2 pads extra?

 

Maybe, I have sucky memory. I think so. But yes, two pads in total. The one with the console, and an extra.

 

Please, OH GOD PLEASE, SHOW ME CONFIRMATION

 

Not without going to work, stealing my manager's notes of the conference and scanning them. Faith in me enough?

 

HMV, Premium 360 + PGR3 + TABLE TENNIS + WIRELESS CONTROLLER = £300!

 

bargain

 

Replace Table Tennis with Outfit or Tomb Raider and add an extra controller :p

 

But yeah, seems like Christmast promos are sneaking up on us.

Wow 12 hours of gameplay instead of 10 hours whoopy do

[Calza]

I think i've made up my mind. The PGR3 bundle + Tomb Raider. Would GR:AW make that £320? or would it be at full price?

[gmac]

well I bought my 360 from Game in Glasgow who added the £20 games onto my PGR3 bundle

What store? Was it Braehead by any chance?

[CVD]

Or Buchannan Galleries? That's where I've seen these promos and got my 360.

And when is that exactly?

7th November. Oh, and check out the modding site in that article...not that I had anything to do with creating the logo or style.

Hopefully Ashly can confirm this? I'll have to wait till the weekend to go up to Braehead/Glasgow

[Ashley]

The promos will be the same in each store. Im popping into work later, and will try to check but im pretty sure its included.

[Guest Jordan]

NFS: Carbon demo is up.
